Dental Implants Brentwood, Essex
Support for Your Smile
Missing or failing teeth can profoundly impact your life. A gappy smile may cause embarrassment, and it’ll certainly affect your choice of meals. Not only that, but spaces in your smile become breeding grounds for bacteria, increasing the chance of gum disease, tooth decay, and infection.
As time goes on, your jaw deteriorates and the rest of your smile slips. Gaps form, and teeth become misaligned. The loss of one tooth often spells trouble for the rest.
Replacing missing teeth has never been easier. But most solutions lack one crucial element possessed by your natural teeth—the roots.
Dental implants act like new roots. Implanted into your jaw like natural teeth, they bind with the bone to create a strong anchor for your new, beautiful-looking replacement teeth. Regarded as the zenith of dental restoration, dental implants from SmileHQ and Dr Vishal Patel solve every problem caused by lost teeth.
BOOK CONSULTATIONUnderstanding Dental Implants Essex
A dental implant is a small titanium screw placed into your jaw. Once in position, your dental implant fuses with the bone creating a solid connection. After it’s firmly in place, we use it as the foundation for skillfully-crafted replacement teeth.
We use dental implants where:
The Dental Implant Process
Every step of your dental implant surgery is meticulously planned. Our implant team, led by experienced implant dentist Dr Vishal Patel, will begin with a comprehensive consultation. At this stage, we’ll take scans and X-rays of your jaw and ask you some routine questions.
Your initial consultation is also an opportunity to discuss the treatment in-depth. If you have any questions about implant placement, we’re always happy to answer.
The information we gather during your initial assessment will inform our planning process. We’ll plan the procedure and set a date.
Dental implants are placed in stages. At every stage, your gums and jaws will need time to heal. The bone and titanium implant will take several months to fuse fully.
During each step, we’ll provide anaesthetic whenever necessary. This improves your experience and makes the procedure more comfortable.
After we’ve placed the implant, we’ll give you temporary restoration to wear until the jaw has healed. If you like this, you’ll love your smile once the final replacement is ready and in place.

Dental Implant FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. Replacement crowns may need to be renewed every 10 – 15years due to normal wear.
Is the dental implant procedure uncomfortable?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anaesthesia and sedation options are available to ensure your comfort throughout treatment.
What is the recovery time after dental implant surgery?
Initial healing usually takes 3 – 6 months, allowing the implant to integrate with the jawbone. The placement of the final restoration may take place after up to 12 months in total, depending on individual healing and treatment requirements.

Rave Reviews
Wow, what a great experience I have had a Smile HQ. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly, the clinic itself is spotless and it looks great. Pola was so lovely and I can’t believe how in a few hours he transformed my teeth. I am over the moon with the results. The man is an absolute genius at what he does and I couldn’t recommend him more, so professional and the best in the business. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic treatment from start to finish. My daughter was extremely anxious about having root canal treatment, but says she could barely feel anything. Rose (Endodontist) has a very professional and calming manner. The whole experience was the best experience my daughter has had at a dental practice. Belle (Nurse) was also so kind and caring, helping to completely put my daughter at ease. I can’t recommend Smile HQ and its staff enough. Also ladies on reception go above and beyond to Welcome you and put you at ease. Special mention to Hannah, for helping us get the quickest correct type of appointment, thoroughly answering all our questions. Seamless experience 😊
Two visits now; consultations and a hygienist appointment yesterday, always made to feel very comfortable in a professional environment… from an individual who has never been comfortable or wanting to visit the dentist, Smile HQ has completely changed my perspective and view of the experience! Looking forward to my next visit.
I had the best experience at Smile HQ. The customer service was excellent and everyone was very professional and friendly. Pola and Charlotte made me feel very comfortable during my treatment and my end results are amazing!
Couldn’t recommend Pola and his team enough. Pola is thorough and explains everything and makes you feel in safe hands. The girls are also amazing, massive thanks to Hannah for everything she helped me set my app up and the aftercare is amazing. Claire is so lovely and personable every visit and Sophie is brilliant during my sessions with Pola.
This is a wonderful practice. I was seen at short notice because I was in pain and could not get an appointment with my regular dentist and it was well worth the one hour journey to get there. Dr Sasha, Nurse Stephie and Holly and Claire on reception could not have been more welcoming and kind. I had x Ray and antibiotics and everything was unhurried and explained in detail. Thank you all so much.
With the sorry state of my teeth, being embarrassed and somewhat scared, the staff at Smile HQ have gone above and beyond themselves in making me always feel at ease. Talking me through all the different stages that they are doing. I really couldn’t ask for better people. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anybody. You will not go wrong choosing Smile HQ.
Fantastic customer experience from start to finish. It’s a truly state of the art facility, stylish and modern. You feel very relaxed the moment you walk in. I saw Dr Sasha and his Nurse Charlotte who were both excellent and very professional. Certainly a dental practice where I feel in safe hands and will continue to visit for years to come.
