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.
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.

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:

For many patients, the difference is not having to think about the missing tooth at all.
With good care, implants are designed to last many years. Long-term success depends on oral hygiene, bite, and overall health.
The procedure is usually very manageable under local anaesthetic. Most patients describe it as easier than expected.
This varies depending on the case, but typically takes several months to allow for healing.
They serve different purposes. Implants don’t involve neighbouring teeth, which makes them a more conservative option in many cases.
