A long-term way to replace missing teeth

If a tooth is missing, there are a few ways to replace it, but dental implants are generally the closest thing to having your own tooth back. They don’t rely on neighbouring teeth, they sit securely in the jaw, and they’re designed to function naturally day to day.

At Optima Dental Care in Maidenhead, implant treatment is led by Dr Mohan Chawla, combining restorative and cosmetic planning to achieve results that feel stable, look natural, and hold up over time.

Patients visit us from across Maidenhead, Cookham and Bray for treatment that is carefully planned and carried out with long-term outcomes in mind.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it heals and integrates with the bone. Once stable, it supports a crown, bridge, or larger restoration.

The result is a fixed replacement that doesn’t move and doesn’t depend on other teeth for support.

What to expect from treatment

Implant treatment is planned in stages.

It usually involves:

  • Assessment and scans to understand the bone and positioning.
  • Placement of the implant under local anaesthetic.
  • A healing period while the implant integrates.
  • Fitting of the final restoration.

In some cases, tooth extraction may be needed beforehand. For patients who feel anxious or are having more involved treatment, IV sedation is also available.

Straumann implants — premium Swiss innovation

We use Straumann implants, a Swiss-designed system widely regarded as one of the leading implant brands. They are known for:

  • Long-term reliability.
  • Precise engineering.
  • Strong integration with bone.
  • Extensive clinical research and evidence.

This level of consistency is important when planning treatment that is intended to last.

Meet your dentist

Dr Mohan Chawla leads implant treatment at Optima Dental Care, bringing experience across both restorative and cosmetic dentistry.

His approach is shaped by the fact that implants are rarely just about replacing a single tooth in isolation. They often sit within a wider picture – how your teeth function, how your bite feels, and how everything works together long term.

A clear starting point

If you’re considering dental implants, the first step is understanding what’s possible in your case. We offer private examinations from £30, which may include X-rays where clinically needed. From there, we can assess:

  • Whether implants are suitable.
  • What type of treatment is needed?
  • How would everything be planned?

Treatment testimonials

Mrs Angela Haigh

"I want to say what a pleasure it is to visit the team. My dentist Dr Chawla is he best.

Jennifer Trillow, Maidenhead

"Optima has been my dentist for over 10 years. Always pleased with the treatment from both NHS and private. My dentist (Aparna) is lovely and always gives good advice, and I’m completely at ease with her. The staff are warm and welcoming. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for treatment!

Elaine Lewis

"My family and I have been attending the Optima Dental Practice for about 15 years. We have always found everyone who works there very caring, friendly and above all, professional. We always feel we can trust and rely on the treatment we receive there.

K J Syms

"As one of the many people that hated going to the dentist, all that changed after I discovered Optima Dental Care. In fact, I look forward to my visit to see the dentist. They are very professional and kind. I have known Dr Mohan Chawla for over 10 years and hope to go on for many more.

Jo Dimmock

"Dear Mohan I would like it known how happy I am with all treatments received. Yourself, and all the staff are amazing and as a fairly nervous patient I’m always made to feel at ease, and everything is explained thoroughly and the standard of care is second to none for myself and my son. The surgery is extremely clean and welcoming. 100% highly recommended.

Paul Vincent

"Wanted to say thank you for the care I received throughout the process of having my implant completed. I was talked through the process in detail before starting. At each stage I felt comfortable that I knew what was happening. The end result is exactly what I was promised. Thank you.

Hazel, Ashtead

"I am very happy with all the dental work that Dr Mohan Chawla has carried out for me since I became a patient at his practice nine years ago. Then last year, 2018, he performed what I call ‘a little magic dentistry on three of my truly ugly, filled front teeth, turning them into splendidly normal-looking teeth. Making smiling a joy for the first time in decades.

Ken Hudson, Epsom

"Dear Dr Chawla, I thank you for your reminder about dental appointments, but I doubt if I shall be requiring one for a few years yet to come! The new set of dentures fit perfectly with no sores, ulcers or the like to date, and for which I must compliment your workmanship and recommend to others. Wishing you every success in the future.

David Burrows

"Many thanks to Dr Chawla and his team for the treatment I received during my implant process. It was lengthy and not always pleasant – invasive surgery, bone graft, temporary plate etc. – but they always made me feel that the outcome would be worthwhile – and it was! I still feel reasonably relaxed about visiting my dentist.

Deeque, Shepperton

"3 years on, and I am forever grateful to Mohan. When no one else could offer a solution for my lateral incisor, which had broken off close to the gum, for a new crown, and my bone was very limited for an implant. He engineered a solution to have a new crown. To get rid of that awful plate was such a relief and in many ways life-changing!

TESTIMONIALS

Frequently asked questions

Why does many patients choose implants? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

Implants are often chosen because they:

  • Feel stable when eating and speaking.
  • Don’t affect neighbouring teeth.
  • Help maintain bone structure over time.
  • Offer a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

For many patients, the difference is not having to think about the missing tooth at all.

How long do dental implants last? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

With good care, implants are designed to last many years. Long-term success depends on oral hygiene, bite, and overall health.

Is implant treatment painful? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

The procedure is usually very manageable under local anaesthetic. Most patients describe it as easier than expected.

How long does the process take? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

This varies depending on the case, but typically takes several months to allow for healing.

Are implants better than bridges? down black circle arrow right black circle arrow

They serve different purposes. Implants don’t involve neighbouring teeth, which makes them a more conservative option in many cases.
