Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Assessing Jawbone Volume
Adequate bone density and volume are essential for successful implant placement. We use 3D CBCT scanning to assess your jaw in detail at consultation. If bone loss has occurred, we’ll discuss options including bone grafting or zygomatic implants.
Your General Health
Implant surgery is a minor, well-tolerated procedure for most healthy adults. We’ll review your medical history and any current medications at consultation to confirm your suitability.
Lifestyle Considerations
Smoking significantly reduces the success rate of dental implants, as it restricts blood flow to the healing tissues. We’ll discuss your habits honestly at consultation and help you make an informed decision about timing and expectations.
BOOK CONSULTATIONWhat Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw placed directly into the jawbone, where it integrates with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration. Once integrated, typically over 3-6 months, it provides a permanent anchor for a custom-made porcelain crown.
The implant functions as a fully artificial tooth root. It stimulates the jawbone under pressure, preventing the bone shrinkage that occurs when a root is absent, something no denture or bridge can do.
Dental implants may be the right solution for you if:
- You’re missing one or more teeth
- You have teeth that are failing and need to be extracted
- Your current bridge or denture is uncomfortable or unstable
- You want to stop further bone loss and protect your remaining teeth
Advanced Implant Options at SmileHQ
All-on-4 Same Day Teeth
Restore a full arch of teeth in a single day using just four strategically placed implants. All-on-4 is ideal for patients with extensive tooth loss who want a fixed, permanent solution.
Zygomatic Implants
For patients with insufficient bone in the upper jaw, zygomatic implants anchor into the stronger bone of the cheekbone, avoiding bone grafts in many cases.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Give your existing dentures a firm, reliable foundation. Implant-retained dentures use two to four implants to keep your denture securely in place, no slipping, no adhesive, no embarrassment.
Aftercare for Lasting Results
Regular Monitoring
We build aftercare appointments into your treatment plan from the start. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor the health of your implant, the gum tissue, and the surrounding bone, catching any issues before they develop.
Oral Hygiene Support
Keeping the gum margin around your implant clean is the key to long-term success. We’ll provide detailed guidance on technique, tools, and the products that work best for implant care.
Practical Lifestyle Advice
From what to eat during healing to long-term habits that protect your implant, we equip you with everything you need to get the most from your investment for decades to come.
BOOK CONSULTATIONReplace Missing Teeth, For Good
Missing teeth affect far more than your appearance. They affect your ability to eat comfortably, your confidence in social situations, and the long-term health of your entire mouth. Left untreated, a single missing tooth can trigger a cascade of problems, bone loss, neighbouring tooth drift, gum recession, and bite changes that affect your whole jaw.
Patients from Harlow and the surrounding area choose SmileHQ in Brentwood for dental implant treatment because they want a permanent solution, not a short-term fix. Our practice is just 20 minutes south of Harlow, and our implant team brings the expertise and technology to deliver outstanding, lasting results.
Dental implants are the gold-standard solution for tooth replacement. By replicating not just the crown but the root itself, they restore full function and protect the jaw from the bone loss that inevitably follows tooth extraction.
Dental Implant FAQs
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care the titanium implant post can last a lifetime, though the porcelain crown may need refreshing after 10-15 years of normal wear.
Will I need time off work after implant surgery?
Most patients return to desk work the following day, and we recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity for the first few days after placement, with your dentist providing specific aftercare instructions.
How do I get to SmileHQ from Harlow?
From Harlow, take the A414 southwest toward Brentwood (approximately 20-25 minutes by car) or alternatively train from Harlow Town to Liverpool Street and connect to Brentwood, with free parking available at our practice at 105 High Street, Brentwood.

Rave Reviews
I am absolutely over the moon with my teeth transformation! I have always hated my smile and now I can’t stop smiling ! Dr Pola and the whole team at smile HQ were amazing from start to finish. The clinic is beautiful, clean & calming – would massively recommend!
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.
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.
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!
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.
The atmosphere was so peaceful. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They listened to my needs and considered my comfort every step of the way. I would definitely recommend. I felt so confident walking out after just one clean. Already have my next appointments booked in. Now going to the dentist isn’t so scary.
What an amazing experience I had from start to finish. The facilities were first of all immaculate and the staff were so professional and friendly. I am over the moon with my final result (8 composite veneers) and I couldn’t be happier with the work completed by Dr Pola Reza. A big thank you to the dental assistant Claire, and the Front of House staff Hannah & Holly for making my experience so amazing. Couldn’t recommend them more!
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!
