Here is what to look for when choosing the best dental implant specialist near you.

1. Experience and qualifications

When replacing missing teeth, you want to know you are in safe hands. An implant dentist with advanced training and hands-on experience provides more predictable treatment results.

Meet your implant dentist, Dr Nev Jeyakumar

At Foxley Lane Dental, your implant care is led by Dr Nev Jeyakumar, an experienced implant dentist who has spent many years helping patients replace missing teeth, restore confidence and improve long-term oral health. Dr Nev provides a gentle, patient-centred approach from the first consultation through to the final results, making each stage of your treatment clear and reassuring.

He has completed extensive training in dental implants, full-arch solutions, bone preservation and advanced dental treatments, allowing him to support a wide range of patients - from those needing a single tooth implant to those considering full arch dental implants. His calm communication style and attention to detail help create a positive and comfortable experience, especially for patients who feel nervous or have previously struggled with dental care.

Dr Nev supports patients with a wide range of dental implant treatments, including:

Single tooth implants
Multiple implants
Full arch dental implants
Fixed implant solutions such as All-on-4, All-on-5 and All-on-6 ('Same day teeth')
Support for people who want to replace removable dentures

This experience helps maintain your natural facial structure, protect your jawbone, and support stable long-term function so you can eat, speak and smile confidently.

2. Clear treatment planning

A good implant dentist explains the process in a calm, reassuring way. At your first visit, you’ll have time to discuss your goals, review X-rays, and understand whether you are a suitable candidate.

Your personalised treatment plan will outline:

The type of implant needed
Whether you have enough bone
Support options for bone loss
Whether a temporary bridge or temporary set of teeth is required
Your full treatment timeline and healing stages

Clear planning helps patients feel informed and prepared, especially if previous dental care has involved tooth loss, root canal infections or failing teeth.

3. A low-risk way to get started

We offer a complimentary consultation, valued at £200, which includes a full CT scan - entirely free of charge. This early stage of treatment allows you to understand your options without pressure.

Your consultation at our Purley clinic provides a detailed assessment of:

The jaw and bone structure
Suitability
Early signs of failing teeth
How your new smile could look with a custom-made restoration

For many patients, this is the moment they feel confident about choosing dental implants over other dental treatments such as bridges, dentures or further restorative work.

Your implant procedure takes place in a modern, welcoming dental clinic with a friendly team who support you throughout. Many people choose our Purley dental practice because they appreciate:

Clear communication
Gentle care under local anaesthetic or local anaesthesia
The option to discuss sedation
A comfortable experience from consultation to final results

We look after your gums, teeth, health and wellbeing throughout, providing ongoing dental care during healing and beyond. This ensures patients feel safe, reassured and informed at all times.

Dental implants behave like natural teeth, helping you:

Eat comfortably
Restore confidence in your smile
Maintain facial shape and strong jawbone support
Protect remaining teeth
Enjoy a long-term, permanent replacement for missing teeth

We use high-quality systems such as Straumann and Southern Implants to support predictable outcomes. Whether restoring one tooth or a full set, each bridge or implant restoration is shaped to your individual needs.

Frequently asked questions

Are dental implants painful?
Most people describe implant treatment as manageable. Your Purley dental implant specialist uses local anaesthetic to keep you relaxed. Mild discomfort can occur afterwards but usually settles with home dental care.
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
You may be suitable if you have missing teeth, good general health and enough bone in the jaw. If you have bone loss, your dentist will explain supportive options. Your free consultation and scan help determine suitability.
What happens during the first visit?
Your first visit includes an assessment, X-rays, a CT scan and time to discuss your goals. You’ll receive a clear personalised treatment plan explaining whether a single tooth, bridge or full-arch option is best.
Do you offer same day teeth in Purley?
Yes. Some patients may receive a temporary bridge or temporary set of teeth on the same day, depending on bone support, gums and implant stability.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Implants help restore missing teeth, support the jawbone, maintain facial shape and improve long-term oral health. They look and feel like natural teeth and can support both cosmetic and functional needs.
Are dental implants a permanent solution?
Implants are designed to be a long-term, permanent replacement when supported with proper care and routine dental care at your local dentist or Purley dental practice.
What if I wear dentures?
Dental implants provide an alternative to removable dentures or traditional dentures. Many patients choose full mouth dental implants or an implant bridge to replace a full set of teeth.
How much do dental implants cost?
Costs vary depending on the number of implants, the type of treatment, and your individual needs. Your free consultation includes full explanation of cost. NHS services typically do not cover implants, as they are not routine NHS treatments.
