Dental Implant Expert
Providing dental implant treatment since 1988
I began placing dental implants in 1988 and have now placed more than 7,000 implants. In 2009, I became the UK's first European Expert in Implantology, an accreditation awarded by the European Dental Association.
Most adults who have lost one or more teeth can potentially be considered for dental implants. Your dental health, general health, available bone and ability to maintain your implants all form part of the assessment.
I see patients for dental implant treatment at Taunton Dental Practice in Somerset, working with an experienced team in a private clinical setting. Every patient is individually assessed and treatment is carefully planned.
The cost of dental implant treatment depends on what you need and the complexity of your treatment. Following your assessment, you will receive a personalised treatment plan explaining the treatment recommended and the associated costs.
I began placing dental implants in 1988 and have now placed more than 7,000 implants. My experience ranges from replacing a single missing tooth to treating patients requiring multiple implants and more complex reconstruction.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several teeth or, in suitable cases, support a complete set of replacement teeth.
The right approach depends on your individual needs, your dental health and the amount and position of available bone.
Every dental implant treatment plan is individual. Before treatment begins, I will explain the options available, the treatment I recommend and what is involved.
You will receive a personalised treatment plan with the costs clearly set out before you decide whether you would like to proceed.
I’m often asked questions about dental implants, from how treatment works and how long implants last to whether implants are possible when there is very little bone. I’ve answered some of the questions patients ask me most frequently below.
