Dental Implants in Battersea: Restore Your Smile with Expert Care
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants use a titanium screw that integrates with your jawbone, acting as a stable foundation that mimicks a tooth's root for a custom-made crown. This approach ensures your new tooth looks, feels, and functions with a natural and comfortable feel.
Why Consider Dental Implants?
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. There is a considerble personalised aspect to them too. At Vere Dental-Aesthetics, we take pride in creating a truly personalised solution—every implant is custom-fit and every implant-crown is custom made to fit your unique smile, ensuring both comfort and a natural look.
- Long-Term Solution: While dental implants are not permanent, with proper care, they can last many years, often decades. At Vere Dental, we ensure you receive the right information and ongoing care to maximise the longevity of your implants. Alex & Stef, our trusted hygienists and your partners in immaculate oral health, will play a crucial role in helping you maintain healthy teeth and implants.
- Bone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, maintaining your facial structure.
- Preserve Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy teeth, promoting better long-term oral health.
Our Personalised Approach at Vere Dental
At Vere Dental-Aesthetics, we believe in providing tailored, expert care for every patient.
Dr. Caoimhe Doherty, our experienced implantologist, leads our implant treatments. With a Master of Science in Implantology from Bristol University and extensive experience in oral surgery, Caoimhe ensures your treatment is precise, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.
She is supported by our dedicated surgical nurse, Halima, who is currently training to become an implant and IV sedation qualified dental nurse, and Amandine, our general dentist that trained at KULeuven, the hub of the famous implant brand NobelBiocare in Belgium.
Caoimhe, Halima, & Amandine’s compassionate care and attention to detail help create a calm, reassuring environment, so you can feel at ease throughout your treatment.
What to Expect During Your Implant Journey here in SW11
- Initial Consultation: We start with a comprehensive assessment of your oral health, discussing your goals and addressing any concerns. Our reception team will book you in with our general dentists for a full check up to make sure dental implants are the right solution for you.
- Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced imaging, we create a personalised plan to ensure the best possible outcome in accordance with Dr Doherty.
Implant Placement: The titanium screw is gently placed into your jawbone. Over time, it integrates with the bone, creating a strong foundation. We usually give the implant 3 months to heal into your bone. Everyone is different, that is why this might differ for you. - Restoration: Once the implant is secure, a healing abutment is placed to reshape the gums to a create the right environment for the future porcelain crown. Once the gums have healed, a custom crown is attached, completing your smile.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
We understand that dental procedures, more specifically, dental implants, can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, from your first consultation to your final check-up. We’re dedicated to making your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
To ensure you feel at ease, we offer a range of options tailored to your needs:
- Personalised Care: Our team takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer all your questions, so you feel informed and confident about your treatment.
- Intra-Venous (IV) Sedation: If you’re feeling particularly nervous, Dr. Doherty can provide IV sedation. This involves administering a gentle anti-anxiety medication through a small cannula in your arm, helping you relax throughout the procedure. You’ll remain conscious but deeply at ease, with little to no memory of the treatment afterward.
- A Calm Environment: Our practice is designed to create a soothing atmosphere, with a friendly team ready to support you before, during, and after your appointment.
- Follow-Up Support: We don’t just stop at the procedure—our hygienists, Alex and Stef, will guide you on how to care for your implants and maintain your oral health long-term.
At Vere Dental, your comfort and confidence are as important to us as the success of your treatment.

"Bone grafting - What to expect"
A dental bone graft adds volume and density to your jaw bone in areas where bone loss has occurred. The bone graft material may be taken from your own body; or it may be purchased from a human tissue bank; an animal tissue bank; or the lab-made bone material.
The graft material creates a scaffold for your own bone to grow into.
Additionally, the oral surgeon may use plasma rich factor (PRF) taken from your blood to act as a membrane to protect the bone graft material and to promote healing and tissue regeneration. In some instances, a synthetic membrane may be used. The bone graft is then left to mature. The entire process may take between three and twelve months. Because each person is unique, recovery times vary.
Who needs bone graft?
A person with bone loss in their jaw usually needs a dental bone graft. This procedure may be recommended if you:
- Are having a tooth extracted.
- Plan to replace a missing tooth with dental implant.
- Need to rebuild the jaw before getting dentures.
- Have areas of bone loss due to gum (periodontal) disease.
What are the types of bone graft?
Socket preservation - Graft is placed in the socket immediately after a tooth extraction. It fills the void left behind by the missing tooth and prevents the sides of the socket from caving in.
Ridge augmentation - If your teeth have been missing for a while, the supporting jawbone may be thinner than it was before. Ridge augmentation increases the width and volume of the jawbone so it can provide a stable foundation for implants or other restorative options.
Sinus lift - The maxillary sinuses sit just above your upper back teeth. If the upper back teeth are missing, the sinuses can drop down and invade the space once occupied by the teeth roots. In this scenario, there is not enough bone height to place implants, so a sinus lift is required. This procedure raises the sinus back to its proper position. A dental bone graft is then placed underneath the sinus which creates a solid foundation for dental implant to be placed.
