Dr. Davesh Patel has been placing dental implants for over 10 years — bringing that surgical training, from Guy's Hospital to the Royal College of Surgeons, to every consultation. Considered, unhurried care for patients who want it done properly the first time.
Dr. Davesh Patel provides specialist implant dentistry backed by a diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh — the gold standard for implant training in the UK, which he was one of the youngest dentists in the country to be awarded. From single tooth replacement to same-day full-arch reconstruction, every case is planned in three dimensions before treatment begins.
For anxious or phobic patients, intravenous sedation is available, administered by a dentist trained at Guy's Hospital. New patients and referring dentists are equally welcome.
Awarded by examination through the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh — the recognised gold standard for implant dentistry in the UK.
From single tooth replacement to same-day full-arch reconstruction, including sinus lifting and bone grafting where needed.
IV sedation training completed at Guy's Hospital, so nervous or phobic patients can still receive the treatment they need.
CT scanning and Trios 3D optical scanning are used to plan every case with precision ahead of treatment.
Appointed by the London Deanery to train and supervise dental graduates for six years, alongside ongoing international training.
Every treatment plan is built around the individual — the goal is a result that lasts, not the fastest route there.
Real feedback from patients treated at the practice — in their own words, and on camera.
“I was made to feel very welcome. The dentist Davesh made a good job of my implant, without any discomfort, and I was pleased with the result.”
“I am a very nervous patient and Dr. Davesh Patel and his team always make me feel reassured and are very understanding.”
“Davesh is a really insightful professional who explains treatment steps well. Thus far I’ve been impressed.”
Dr. Patel has been placing dental implants for over 10 years. Every case is different — these are the paths patients most often take, refined during consultation to fit the individual.
A single implant and crown, built to sit and function like the tooth it replaces.
Bridging several gaps with a smaller number of implants, planned around your bone and bite.
A complete set of fixed teeth placed the same day, for patients starting from significant tooth loss.
Building bone volume in the upper jaw so implants have a stable foundation.
Removing a failed, failing or problematic implant safely, with a clear plan for what comes next.
For nervous or phobic patients — treatment carried out calmly, with no memory of the procedure.
Refinements to shape, colour and alignment for a smile that still looks like yours.
“I was made to feel very welcome. The dentist Davesh made a good job of my implant, without any discomfort, and I was pleased with the result.”
A centre of excellence for dentally anxious and phobic patients — one of a small number of clinics able to carry out complex dental treatment under intravenous sedation.
Many people feel anxious about dental treatment, often for reasons that build up over time:
Sedation is administered as Midazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine from the same family as diazepam, given through a vein in the arm. It takes effect within a couple of minutes and leaves most patients with little to no memory of treatment — while still able to speak and respond to instructions throughout.
The drug works almost instantly and wears off gradually over around 30 minutes, so you never suddenly wake up — and it's easy to top up if more is needed.
No — unlike alcohol, the effects wear off fairly quickly and there's no lingering hangover feeling.
Benzodiazepines are widely used and have an excellent safety record — adverse reactions are extremely rare. You're checked for medical contraindications before it's prescribed.
You'll need someone to collect you and look after you afterwards. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for 24 hours.
Dr. Davesh Patel completed a year-long sedation certification at Guy's Hospital, London, in 2016 — a world-leading institute in dental sedation.
“I am a very nervous patient and Dr. Davesh Patel and his team always make me feel reassured and are very understanding.”
Alongside implant and cosmetic work, Dr. Patel provides the full range of general dental care — the routine appointments that keep everything else on track.
Tooth-coloured fillings and repairs, carried out to a standard that blends in and lasts.
Rebuilding damaged or heavily worn teeth, and bridging gaps without the need for an implant where that's not the right fit.
Pain, breakages or trauma — seen promptly, with the same standard of care as any planned appointment.
“Davesh is a really insightful professional who explains treatment steps well. Thus far I’ve been impressed.”
Detailed 3D imaging of jaw structure and bone density, used to plan implant position with precision before any surgery begins.
A digital scan replaces traditional impressions — faster, more comfortable, and more accurate for designing implants and restorations.
Every implant case starts with digital planning — mapping the exact position, angle and depth against your CT scan, leaving little room for error.
A custom surgical guide is then designed and 3D-printed in-office, so the plan translates exactly into the placement on the day.
A general guide to some of the treatments and technology used at the practice — a good place to look up more detail on anything discussed in the chair. This will keep growing over time.
A single implant replaces one missing tooth — a small titanium post placed in the jawbone acts as an artificial root, with a crown fitted on top once it has healed and integrated with the bone.
Where several teeth are missing, multiple implants can be used to support individual crowns or a bridge — often needing fewer implants than the number of teeth being replaced.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch, a small number of strategically placed implants can support a complete, fixed set of replacement teeth — restoring function and appearance without a removable denture.
A removable denture that clips onto a small number of implants, giving far more stability and confidence than a conventional denture, while remaining easy to take out for cleaning.
Building bone volume in the upper jaw where it has been lost over time, creating a stable enough foundation for implants to be placed where there wouldn't otherwise be enough bone.
Dentures designed and manufactured digitally rather than by hand — often meaning fewer appointments, a more precise fit, and an easy-to-reproduce design if a replacement is ever needed.
Intravenous sedation for anxious or phobic patients, keeping you calm and relaxed throughout treatment — including implant placement and other complex procedures.
The routine appointments that keep everything else on track — fillings, crowns and everyday care alongside any implant or cosmetic treatment.
A crack can range from a minor surface line to a fracture reaching down into the root, and symptoms are often inconsistent — pain on biting or release, or sensitivity to hot and cold, that comes and goes. Treatment depends entirely on the crack's depth and direction, from a simple filling or crown through to extraction in more severe cases. Left unchecked, a crack can worsen, so it's worth being seen promptly if you suspect one.
A conservative way to replace a missing tooth without preparing the neighbouring teeth for crowns, as a traditional bridge would — a false tooth is attached to a thin wing, bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth. Often a good option for younger patients or as a longer-term temporary solution.
Occasionally an implant needs to be removed — because of infection, failure to properly integrate with the bone, or ongoing complications. The process is generally straightforward, and once the site has healed, your options for replacement can be discussed if appropriate.
This section is intended as general information and isn't a substitute for advice tailored to your individual situation. Every case is different — the right treatment for you will be discussed in full during a consultation.
Colleagues are welcome to refer patients for implant assessment, sinus lifting, IV sedation, or complex restorative cases outside their comfort zone. Patients are returned to their referring dentist for ongoing care once treatment is complete.
Complete the referral form with relevant history, radiographs and the reason for referral, and send it across with the patient's consent.
The patient is seen for a full assessment, including CT or Trios scanning where relevant, and a treatment plan is prepared.
Treatment is carried out in clinic, with a written update sent back throughout, and the patient returned to your care on completion.
For case discussions, urgent referrals, or general queries about a patient, get in touch directly by email — most referring dentists prefer to send a quick note before sending paperwork across.
