Your Dental Implant Consultation in London

Wondering if implants are right for you? Start here

Many people arrive at our clinic unsure if they are candidates for surgery. London Dental Specialists's implant consultation exists to determine whether you're suitable for dental implants based on your specific clinical needs.

• You have a missing tooth that you have hidden for years.
• A bridge or denture has become loose or is failing.
• You have a quote from another clinic and want a second opinion.
• Another dentist told you that you have too much bone loss to support an implant.

If you have been told you lack sufficient bone, Dr Opeoluwa Sodeinde can assess your case using 3D CBCT imaging. As a specialist periodontist with a research interest in bone and gum regeneration, Dr Sodeinde uses bone and soft-tissue grafting to create a stable foundation where bone is missing. This consultant-level expertise allows us to manage complex cases that general practices often refer away. If you would like to know what patients experienced at this stage, our patient stories cover the consultation and assessment process in detail.

What happens at your £195 consultation

The conversation: your goals, your history, your options

Consultant-level assessments begin with a detailed review of your medical history and dental goals. Dr Opeoluwa Sodeinde, specialist periodontist, uses this information to identify risks and determine if you require bone or soft-tissue grafting. This stage ensures the proposed plan aligns with your clinical needs and long-term expectations.

The checks: CT scan, gum health, bone assessment

We perform a physical examination of your gum health and bone density to ensure a stable site for the fixture. A CBCT / CT scan (available for £150) provides the precise imaging needed for 3D-guided planning. This technology allows us to map your anatomy and understand how the 3D scan guides your treatment plan before surgery begins. Because the title of specialist periodontist is legally protected in the UK, you can verify Dr Sodeinde's GDC registration (No. 104071) to confirm this level of training.

The £195 consultation fee is credited toward any treatment you go ahead with.

What you leave with

You won't leave with vague suggestions. Instead, London Dental Specialists's implant consultation provides a written treatment plan tailored to your specific anatomy. This document outlines the exact clinical steps required to restore your smile.

1. A written treatment plan that details the specific clinical steps and the Straumann implant system used for your case.
2. A fixed, itemised quote which explains how dental implant costs are built up so there are no hidden fees.
3. A realistic timeline that includes any necessary preparatory work, such as bone grafting or gum treatment, before the final crown is fitted.

No obligation to proceed

The written plan and itemised quote are yours to keep. Some patients book their surgery the same week, while others take months to decide, and both are normal.

Why the consultation is £195, and what that buys

You can verify this registration (No. 104071) on the public GDC Specialist Register. This ensures your dental implants London plan is based on the longest formal training route available in UK dentistry.

• The £195 consultation includes a written treatment plan and an itemised quote.
• Our specialists use Straumann implants as the primary system for all placements.
• Every implant fixture comes with a 10-year implant warranty.
• A CT scan is available for £150 if the diagnostic process requires deeper bone imaging.

How soon can treatment start?

Treatment timelines depend on your specific clinical needs and the health of your jawbone. Some patients qualify for same-day dental implants if their bone density is sufficient for immediate placement. Others require bone grafting before implants to create a stable foundation, which adds several months to the process. Dr Opeoluwa Sodeinde, a specialist periodontist, determines this timeline during your initial assessment.
