Why choose The Implant Centre?

Through our pioneering techniques and unrivalled expertise in dental implants, we can help restore function to your patient’s mouth and give them the smile and confidence they deserve.

We are the most awarded implant clinic in the UK.

Exclusively Implants

We are a purpose-built, specialist practice working solely on dental implant treatments.

We do nothing else. Our reputation has been built on this single focus and we are proud of our contribution we’ve made internationally to the clinical and surgical aspects of implantology.

Our exclusive concentration on implantology brings two important benefits for our referring dentists.  Patients receive the highest levels of care, and there is no risk of them transferring their allegiance to The Implant Centre, because we do not carry out any other dental work.

We will never ‘poach’your patients.  We work on patient cases with you and guarantee that your patients will be returned to you for their restorative work and aftercare.  You refer the patients to The Implant Centre for their initial assessments and their surgery and when we have confirmed that each implant has osseointegrated, we will send them back to you with the appropriate impression components.

Leading Clinicians

The Implant Centre’s team of dental surgeons and restorative dentists is one of the most experienced and talented groups of dental professionals working in the UK. Just one measure of the team’s growing reputation is that over 200 dentists in the South East of England referred patients to our care in the last twelve months.

Not one, but three of the Implant Centre Team are members of a select group of full-arch implant clinicians, the Accredited Oral Reconstruction Group, whose sole purpose is to offer guidance to the dental profession about this specialised type of treatment and how to train the next generation of full-arch implant dentists. New materials, techniques and technologies are regularly discussed by this group which includes the very best and most experienced full-arch implant dentists in the UK.

Highest Quality Implants

Which dental implant systems do we use?

We employ a variety of dental implant systems.

Many implant dentists are tied to a single implant system. However, we believe that no single system can do everything perfectly.  At The Implant Centre we use a number of different systems because each one has its advantages and there are specific indications for which each one is ideal. This enables us to choose the best one for each individual case.

The three main implant systems that we use are

  • Dentsply

  • MegaGen

  • Bicon

There are cheaper systems available, but they do not have the research, quality, backup and reliability that we require.  We are also aware of clinics in the UK using copy implants.  Just like any other fake goods, they rarely live up to expectations and we will never risk our patients’ care, security and the longevity of their results with fake implant components.

We use the following implant systems and the best implant for you will be chosen purely on clinical grounds.

A patient-oriented, cost effective and versatile implant system. The structure-oriented ANKYLOS® design concept guarantees for high reliability and a stabilising effect on hard and soft tissue…

Recognised for its elegant design and simplicity the Bicon system is locked with a bacteriological seal, so it does no require tiny screws or multiple components…

The Megagen AnyRidge Implant System was inspired by biology; with these design concepts, we are able to offer patients a minimally invasive highly effective, simple, predictable and aesthetically superior implant treatment.

Specialist Implant Laboratory

Most unusual amongst dental implant practices, here at The Implant Centre we have an Award Winning Laboratory next door. The Ceramic Designs lab team creates the crowns fitted to our patients. This luxury permits a really close bond between surgeons, patients, and the CDL skilled technicians. We believe this intimate relationship to be unique, and of course results in precision work of exceptional quality.

Ceramic Designs are the leading private laboratory excelling in close collaborative working with dentists and delivering exceptional outcomes. They pride themselves on offering outstanding support for dentists; highly qualified and motivated technicians; state of the art digital equipment and innovation..

CDL uses the finest materials available, alongside some very sophisticated equipment (like the state-of-the-art scanners and 3D printer), to create implant crowns tailor-made for each individual patient.

However, even in this high-tech world, the perfect colour-matching of the finished crown to the patient’s own teeth is only achieved through craftsmanship and a passion for detail.

Outstanding Record

We’re proud of our vital statistics.

We know numbers aren’t everything, however we currently place around 2000 implants a year,  in over 1000 patients each year,  while still looking after a large proportion of the many thousands of patients we have treated since opening in 2008.

The Implant Centre is one of the largest centres, in terms of numbers of dental implants placed, in the UK.  We are recognised as leaders in this field,  from basic single tooth replacement to full rehabilitation cases.

This exceptional level of experience is reflected in our audited implant integration rates which significantly exceed 97% compared with a national average of around 90%.
