Dental implants are used to replace one, several or all missing teeth. They give you the most natural looking, effective and long lasting solution, all while appearing just like normal teeth. NW1 Dental Care offer Dental Implants in Camden, London and have helped many people get back their smile and their confidence.
For tooth replacement, this is the most effective, technically advanced solution, offering proven permanent results and in many cases, the only logical choice to restore all function of the teeth and supporting bone structure.
There are other restorative treatments for missing teeth that we offer, such as dentures and bridges which can get loose and unstable over time. Dental implants provide more stability paired with a natural aesthetic that give results that can last a lifetime. As well as this, dental implants used to replace missing teeth can even help counter further tooth loss.
A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root which is used to support one or more false teeth – the “roots” of these teeth look like screws. These titanium screws are placed in the jaw bone and left to integrate with the surrounding jaw bone. Once the implant is placed and integrated with your bone, your dentist will create a crown that is then attached to the top of the implant. This whole unit will take over the original function so much so it’s difficult to differentiate between an implant supported tooth and a natural tooth.
There are 4 main types of dental implant treatment that we offer here at NW1 Dental Care depending on your situation.
These are suitable for single missing teeth. The dentist will place one implant into the jaw and restore it with a single crown.
This type of treatment is suitable to replace 3 or more missing teeth together. In this treatment the dentist will place two implants, one on either end of the space, and then create a bridge made up of three or more teeth to go across the space.
When you are looking to replace all of your teeth in an arch there are two different types of treatment we can offer you. The first is our All-On-4/All-On-6 treatment. In this treatment, the dentist will start be removing any remaining teeth in the jaw. They will then place between 4 and 6 implants into the jaw bone, that are then restored with one long 12 tooth bridge that is permanently secured to the implants.
Another full arch solution that replaces all of the teeth in one jaw is an implant retained denture. With this treatment between 4 and 6 ball-end implants will be placed in the jaw. A special type of denture is this created for you that can be snapped on and snapped off of these implants. The big difference between standard dentures which rest directly on the gums is that these can require an adhesive that can become loose during the day as well as sitting less tightly over time. By opting for implant retained denture as opposed to a standard denture, you eradicate this risk, creating a much more stable, firm and long term solution .
Having a dental implant is a fairly simple and pain free process. You are first booked in for a free consultation with the implant dentist, at which a full clinical examination is carried out to assess your suitability. This will involve taking study models, simple X-rays and a full oral examination. A further 3D CT scan to help measure the bone density may also be needed. After the assessment the dentist will have a discussion with you to make sure you understand what will happen before, during and after the procedure. This is where you can ask any questions you might have.
In this stage the area where the implant is to be placed is numbed with local anaesthetic (just like if you were to have a filling), so that no pain is felt. A small hole is drilled into the jawbone and the implant is surgically placed into it. X-Rays will be taken to ensure the implant is placed to the correct depth and angle. The implant is then covered over with a cover screw and left to heal.
This is the time during which the implant area heals and integrates within the jaw bone. Your dentist will let you know how long depending on the case. During this time we can construct a temporary crown or denture for you so that you still have teeth in the area.
The final stage of the treatment is where the permanent artificial tooth or teeth are constructed. It can be a crown, bridge or a removable denture which is held firmly by ball-end implants which have been strategically placed in the mouth. This stage will require two appointments or more dependent on the type of structure constructed.
Once the treatment is complete you will receive aftercare instructions from your dentist. Maintaining good oral hygiene, eating habits and regular visits to your dentist will help keep the implant healthy and could last you for a lifetime.
A person who can undergo tooth extractions or bridgework can usually undergo dental implant treatment. The location and the amount of bone available in the implant area are the major factors to be considered for any case.
Normally implants are suitable and the best option for most cases, however we do require you to have a free consultation with our dentist to check for suitability and ask any questions you might have for the treatment.
Your dentist should be able to give you a rough estimate of timings after your first consultation. Normally, final crowns, bridges or dentures are fitted after approximately 3-4 months after placing the implant. In some instances it might take longer due to the complexity of the case but your dentist should be able to let you know about this during your consultation.
In certain cases there are some options available where replacement teeth are fitted at the same time as implants. Check with your dentist to see if it’s suitable for you.
Dental implants themselves look like a very small metal screw, though this part of the structure is concealed in the jaw. The part you will see (crowns, bridges or dentures), will look exactly the same as your natural teeth.
The cost really depends on a patient’s condition and how many implants they need. In most cases the initial cost of implants is slightly more than the cost of conventional treatments such as standard bridges or dentures, but they prove to be cost effective over time and provide a more natural look compared to other options. The prices below are a rough guide showing our starting prices.
To replace 1 missing tooth:
Prices from £2,200
To replace 3 missing teeth together, using 2 dental implants and a 3 tooth bridge:
Prices from £5,000
To replace a full arch of teeth:
All-On-4/All-On-6 – Prices from £16,200 per arch Implant retained denture – Prices from £10,200 per arch
All surgical treatments are carried out by numbing the implant area with local anaesthetic so that you don’t feel any pain. After the treatment you might feel a bit of discomfort for a few days after surgery, just like a normal tooth extraction. Having simple painkillers such as ibuprofen will help.
Yes. If you have removable partial dentures these can be attached to your implant crowns and then taken out for cleaning.
Implants are much like natural teeth – how long do the natural teeth last? They are meant to last a lifetime but we all know the cases where teeth haven’t served their time due to improper care or lack of treatment when required. It’s the same with Implants. With proper care and routine dental checkups they should also last lifelong. The success is dependent on maintenance and care you take after your teeth.
One of the key benefits of implants is that they behave just like natural teeth,meaning there is no restrictions on food or drinks.
The most common alternatives to dental implants are bridges and dentures.
Getting a bridge requires attaching false teeth to your existing teeth either side of the missing tooth. This involves prepping or modifying the existing teeth in order to support a bridge which can have implications in the future. Often this may require replacement which makes it a more costly option over time.
Dentures are false teeth attached to a plastic or metal plate which are placed in the mouth and are removable. They can be cumbersome, uncomfortable and limit your diet. Also, with time they might wear or become loose causing embarassment , slippage and imprecise fit issues.
As an alternative dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. They are comfortable, effective, aesthetically pleasing, look and behave just like natural teeth. They do not impact surrounding teeth and are often less costly in the long run.
Dental implant care isn’t much different to care required for your natural teeth. You are required to maintain normal oral hygiene, i.e brush and floss your teeth regularly and visit your dentist regularly for a checkup and clean.

I got teeth straightening treatment over a period of 4 months for the Inman Aligner. The dentist talks you through each step of the process and is extremely professional, as are all her staff. Now I have the smile I always desired, and achieving this was faster and easier than I thought! I would highly recommend NW1 Dental Care for Inman Aligner treatment in London.

After much research, I chose NW1 Dental Care for Lumineers (and SO GLAD I did!!!) As someone with multiple jobs and a very busy schedule, I messaged them over whatapp through their website and was immediately responded to by one of the team members! I asked a few questions and was booked in for an appointment with the dentist two days later. When I arrived, the team was very welcoming and friendly, and met the dentist in no time. I asked her all the questions i had in mind before going ahead and you could see from how they listen and responded that they cared. The entire treatment was fab, Dr. Anima nailed what I wanted! I am a VERY picky person and I couldn’t be more ecstatic with the results!! Really happy now and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend their services! I can’t stop smiling!!

Received Invisalign and whitening treatment for my wedding that’s coming up in May. I’m so happy with the results I’ve gone on to recommend NW1 Dental care to my fiance and friends
Shona Masson
Really happy I went with this practice to start my Invisalign journey. I went to a few other dentists to get some quotes but I decided to go with NW1 Dental Care. From calling to make an initial free appointment to the actual fitting of my Invisalign everything has gone really smoothly. Dr Anima is very personable and answered all my questions without any hesitation. All the staff are super friendly and make me feel at ease which was great for a nervous patient like me! 10/10

I would highly recommend NW1 Dental care after my experience with Invisalign braces. The initial appointment was super helpful (not pushy at all) and they let me know all the different options available to me. I was able to pay monthly after an initial deposit and to suit my schedule, I also staggered the top teeth and then the bottom. As part of the package I also had several whitening treatments and they were keen to support these until I was 100% happy with the outcome. I had my treatment with Dr Bodane who is super lovely and she always put me at ease. would definitely recommend NW1 🙂
Rachel O'Connell
Coming to the end of my Invisalign treatment (two more sets!) Prior to starting treatment, I visited several dental surgeries to obtain quotes. NW1 Dental was the third I visited and I had a free one to one consultation with Dr Bodane.
Dr Bodane is fantastic. Not only is she an expert in her field but she is very personable and made me feel extremely comfortable and reassured. I knew there and then that NW1 was the surgery of choice for me.
When it comes to my teeth, Dr Bodane is a perfectionist and has shown consistent passion in making sure mine are as good as they can be. The surgery is very clean and the staff are very friendly. Customer service is great.
Glad I chose NW1 Dental. I’ve had a great experience and i’m extremely happy with the end result of my Invisalign treatment. Many thanks to Dr Bodane and her fantastic team.
