If you’re dealing with missing teeth, you know how much it can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy everyday meals. At our dental office in London, we specialize in dental implants—a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that restores comfort and confidence. Whether you're replacing one tooth or an entire arch, we’ll guide you through every step of the dental implant procedure with clarity and care.
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for individuals with missing teeth, offering a natural-looking and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures or bridges. The process begins with surgically placing a titanium screw into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Over time, this implant fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants are designed to mimic the function and appearance of a natural tooth from root to crown. This integration not only restores your ability to chew and speak confidently but also helps preserve the jawbone and maintain facial structure. With proper care, dental implants can last 20–30 years or more.
At Luka Dental Care, we offer implant solutions that are both functional and aesthetic. Our approach ensures your new tooth looks and feels like your own, restoring your smile and your confidence. Whether replacing a single tooth or multiple, dental implants provide a secure, worry-free option for long-term oral health.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for modern tooth replacement and for good reason. Tooth loss can lead to changes in your bite, bone loss in the jaw, and even facial sagging over time. Implants help prevent that by keeping your jaw bone stimulated and strong.
They help preserve your jaw bone, function just like natural teeth, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or several, implants offer a foundation for durable, beautiful restorations.
Why patients choose dental implants over bridges or dentures:
Replace missing teeth with strong, stable alternatives
Stimulate your jaw bone to prevent long-term bone loss
Look and feel like natural teeth
Improve chewing, speech, and overall function
Last decades with proper care
Don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support

Consultation
A full consultation at our London dental office including 3D digital scans

Temporary Placement
Placement of a temporary restoration if needed during healing. This may involve minor surgery to place the abutment after osseointegration.
Final restoration
A crown, bridge, or denture crafted in our in-house lab. As the surrounding tissue heals, the implant bonds with the jawbone and attaches to the gums.
We tailor each dental implant procedure to the person and not just the problem so it fits your timeline, your lifestyle, and your comfort level.
In some cases, patients may require bone grafting to prepare their jawbone for dental implant surgery. This procedure involves transplanting either natural or synthetic bone material into the affected area to create a stronger, more stable foundation for the implant. The healing process can take several months as the grafted bone gradually integrates with the existing jawbone.
Once the graft has successfully healed, patients can move forward with the dental implant procedure. Bone grafting is a common and effective step in many treatment plans, and our experienced oral surgeons will guide you through every phase to ensure optimal results and a smooth experience.
After the dental implant has been surgically placed, the surrounding bone and gum tissue need time to heal and fuse with the implant—a process known as osseointegration. This healing phase is crucial for ensuring the implant becomes a stable, long-lasting foundation. Once healing is complete, the dentist attaches a small connector piece called an abutment to the implant.
The abutment serves as the anchor for the final restoration—a custom-made dental crown designed to match the color, shape, and size of the patient's natural teeth. Together, the abutment and crown create a seamless, functional replacement that allows patients to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Thanks to our tech and in-house lab, you don’t need to bounce between specialists or wait weeks for results. Many of our patients have their implant procedure completed faster than they ever imagined.

The initial step involves surgically placing the dental implant into your jawbone beneath the gum tissue. This allows the implant to bond with the bone, ensuring stability and success for your new tooth.
The success of dental implant surgery relies heavily on the process of osseointegration, where the jaw bone grows around the implant, securing it in place. This process can take several months to complete, during which time the patient will need to attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor the progress. Once the osseointegration process is complete, the implant will be fully integrated with the surrounding bone, providing a stable base for the artificial tooth. It’s essential to note that proper oral hygiene and regular checkups are crucial to ensure the long-term success of the dental implant.
In most cases, dental implant surgery requires collaboration between a general dentist and a specialist, such as an oral surgeon or prosthodontist. The general dentist will assess the patient’s oral health and determine if they are a good candidate for dental implant surgery. The specialist will then perform the surgery, and the general dentist will provide follow-up care and attach the artificial tooth. This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive the best possible care and achieve optimal results.
In complex cases, patients may require maxillofacial surgery to prepare their jaw bone for dental implant surgery. This type of surgery involves reconstructing the jaw bone to create a more stable base for the implant. Our experienced oral surgeons are trained in maxillofacial surgery and can handle even the most complex cases. We work closely with our patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and ensures the best possible outcome. Whether you’re missing one or multiple teeth, we can help you achieve a natural-looking smile and restore your confidence.

Whether you need to replace missing teeth to enhance your quality of life and confidence, restore your bite, or get answers to your dental implant FAQs, we’re here to help. Dental implants are crucial for maintaining the stability and alignment of surrounding teeth, preventing shifting and promoting overall oral health. Our London dental office makes the entire process straightforward, from consultation to final crown.
Most patients say their implant procedure is smoother than expected. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques, and many describe it as easier than a tooth extraction. Most dental implants are successful, but there are risks involved, particularly if the bone fails to fuse with the metal implant.
The dental implant surgery itself usually takes about an hour per implant. The full process—including healing and final crown—can take a few months but is well worth the wait. Dental implants are also an excellent option for replacing a single lost tooth, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting and improving overall facial aesthetics.
We can often still place dental implants by using bone grafting. A healthy jaw bone is ideal, but our 3D scans help us plan around every scenario.
Yes! Many of our patients come to us to replace missing teeth after years of wearing removable dentures. We also offer All-on-X dental implant surgery for full arch restoration.
They do. Because they’re anchored in the bone and customized to match your smile, most people can’t tell the difference between dental implants and natural teeth.
Coverage varies. Some plans offer partial reimbursement. We’ll review your benefits and offer financing options to help make your dental implant surgery more accessible.
