Dental Implants
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, 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
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:
- You have missing teeth
- You have damaged or infected teeth needing extraction
- You have a bridge or dentures but need extra support
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.

Rave Reviews
I have visited SmileHQ for a consultation only, so cannot comment on actual treatment received at this point. However, from my initial enquiry through to my consultation, I have been extremely impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of all of the staff I have so far encountered. There has been no pressure to proceed with treatment and the refundable deposit for the consultation should you decide not to go ahead is commendable and shows an element of the ethos at this practice. I feel very confident in their ability and expertise in this field to eventually make me smile again and would highly recommend anyone taking the first steps on their own personal journey with SmileHQ.
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!
Receptionist Kiera is an absolute delight to talk to. So refreshing from your ordinary rude front of house receptionists, lovely attitude and very helpful.
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.
I saw Dr Bal and have been so pleased with my treatment. He really listens to what you want to achieve and speaks through your treatment plan in so much detail. Very natural results which is what I wanted :) Couldn’t recommend him enough!
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.
Couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment I’ve received at Smile HQ. All the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, excellent customer service! I couldn’t be happier with my new smile thanks to Dr Pola and his team! Felt so comfortable and at ease with pola. He was very professional and did an amazing job!
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.
