Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with strong, artificial anchors that support natural-looking replacement teeth. Each implant is precisely placed into the jawbone, where it forms a lasting foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This secure base restores biting strength, improves speech clarity, and helps maintain facial structure by preventing bone loss. We restore single missing teeth, secure fixed bridgework for full mouth reconstruction, and stabilise loose dentures so they feel reliable and comfortable every day.

Dr Nicholas Socrates has placed and restored dental implants since 1994, delivering carefully planned treatment with consistent, high-quality results. He actively advances his expertise through implantology conferences and hands-on training programmes. This ensures his patients benefit from modern techniques and evidence-based care. Dr Socrates completed a year-long Implantology course at the Eastman Dental Institute. This formed part of his Postgraduate Diploma in Restorative Dental Practice from University College London, awarded in 2002. Nicholas combines surgical skill with restorative insight to plan each case meticulously and deliver implant treatment with precision, clarity, and confidence.
