Spend once, and keep it for the long run

The patients we meet from Reigate rarely want the cheapest thing on offer. They want the lasting thing, a replacement tooth that earns its place over many years and disappears into daily life. That ambition shapes every decision we make, from the first scan to the reviews that follow years later.

An implant is not a temporary repair. It restores both the root and the crown of a missing tooth, and because the post knits into living bone, it can carry the full force of biting and chewing for decades when it is planned and looked after well. The rest of this page explains what gives a Reigate implant that staying power, and the part aftercare plays in keeping it there.

The three things that decide how long it lasts

Longevity is not luck. It comes down to where the implant goes, what it is made from, and who looks after it once it is in.

Position is first. We plan every case from a CBCT scan, a 3D picture of your jaw, so the post is seated in bone that can genuinely support it rather than placed by eye. Where the bone is shallow we plan grafting, a sinus lift or zygomatic implants instead of squeezing into a weak spot.

The components are second. We use Straumann and Southern Implants, systems with decades of clinical evidence behind them, because asking a tooth to last twenty years is no place for an unproven part.

Continuity of care is third. The dentist who plans your case, Dr Nev Jeyakumar, Dr Christine Marzahn or Dr Ankit Patel, places and restores it too, so the standard never slips between one set of hands and another.

Aftercare is where the years are won

An implant that is fitted beautifully and then neglected will not see out its potential, so the maintenance side matters as much as the surgery. The reassuring part is that caring for one is mostly familiar.

Day to day you brush and clean around it as you would a natural tooth, with a little extra attention to the gum margin where it meets the crown. Our hygienist Vicky Harris will show you exactly how, tailored to your restoration, whether that is a single crown or a full-arch bridge.

Beyond home care, we ask you back for regular reviews. Those visits let us check the gum health, the bite and the implant itself, so anything minor is settled long before it could threaten the result. Keeping the bone and gum around the implant healthy is the real secret to a tooth that simply keeps going.

Backed for a decade, planned for longer

Every implant we place carries a 10-year guarantee, which is our way of putting our name to the planning and the components rather than waving you off at the door. We would rather you measured the value of your treatment across the years you use it than across the day you paid for it. Costs are set out in a written, itemised plan after your scan, with 0% Tabeo finance explained, so the long-term decision is made with clear numbers in front of you.

Frequently asked questions

  • How many years should I expect a dental implant to last?

    A carefully placed, well-maintained implant is built to last many years and often decades, and yours carries a 10-year guarantee.

  • What aftercare does an implant actually need?

    Daily brushing and cleaning around the implant plus regular hygienist visits with Vicky Harris keep the surrounding gum and bone healthy, which is what protects it long term.

  • Can an implant fail later on, and how do you reduce that risk?

    Failure is uncommon when implants are accurately planned and properly maintained, which is why we plan from a CBCT scan, allow full healing time and build aftercare into your care.

  • Will the same dentist look after me at review appointments?

    The dentist who places and restores your implant oversees your care, so the people checking it over the years already know your case in full.

  • Does the guarantee mean I can skip my check-ups?

    No, the guarantee sits alongside regular reviews rather than replacing them, because consistent monitoring is exactly what keeps the long-term result sound.
