Iconic Smiles is a multi-award-winning NHS and private dental group providing high-end dental implant treatment across Hertfordshire and North London. From our clinics in Hatfield, Cheshunt, Turners Hill and Friern Barnet, we place and restore implants for patients who want fixed, natural-looking teeth instead of dentures or gaps. Implant care is primarily private, with clear pricing and finance options.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act like artificial tooth roots. Once placed into the jaw, they fuse with the bone and create a strong foundation for single crowns, bridges or full-arch teeth. Unlike removable dentures, implant teeth stay fixed in place, so you can eat, smile and speak with confidence.
Because implants stimulate the bone, they also help to reduce jaw shrinkage and facial collapse over time.
We follow a structured implant pathway across all clinics:
Consultation and assessment – we examine your mouth, take X-rays and usually a CBCT scan.
Digital planning – your implant dentist plans implant position, angles and final tooth shape using 3D software.
Surgery day – implants are placed under local anaesthetic, with IV sedation available for suitable nervous or complex patients.
Healing phase – the bone fuses to the implant over several weeks or months. Temporary teeth can often be provided.
Final restoration – a custom crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis is fitted and adjusted.
Long-term maintenance – regular reviews and hygiene visits keep the implants and gums healthy.
Because we use 3D CBCT scans and guided implant surgery in our Hertfordshire clinics, placement is accurate, efficient and designed around the final smile.
Dental implants are suitable for many patients, but not everyone. We always consider:
Jaw bone density – if bone volume is low, we may recommend grafting or alternative designs.
General health – conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect healing.
Lifestyle and expectations – implants require good hygiene, regular reviews and realistic aims.
During your consultation, we will explain your options honestly, including any non-implant alternatives, so you can decide with full information.
We use dental implants to replace lost and failing teeth. Here are some essential factors we’ll consider to determine whether they’re right for you:

You’ll need sufficient bone mass in your jaw to support your dental implant. If your jaw has deteriorated, a bone graft is recommended before surgery. Depending on your case, alternative treatments like zygomatic implants may also be an option.

We want to ensure you’re healthy enough to recover quickly from your treatment.

If you’re a smoker, this could impact the effectiveness of dental implants and your recovery. We’d need to know this before determining whether the procedure is right for you.
At our Hertfordshire and North London clinics, we provide:
Single tooth implants – to replace one missing tooth with an implant crown.
Implant-supported bridges – to span small gaps using fewer implants.
All-on-4 / All-on-X full-arch implants – fixed full-arch solutions for denture wearers or failing teeth.
Same-day teeth (where suitable) – immediate provisional teeth placed on the day of surgery.
Implant rescue and revision – management of failing implants and complex redo cases.
In addition, we offer bone grafting and sinus lift procedures when extra support is needed.
