DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implants in Hertfordshire & North London
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.
Life-changing dental implants from elite implant teams
Missing or failing teeth affect how you eat, speak and feel. Therefore, we treat implants as serious, life-changing work. At Iconic Smiles, you are treated by implant-focused clinicians using:
- 3D CBCT scans, intraoral scanners and guided surgery
- Proven implant systems with strong long-term data
- Top-tier labs creating lifelike crowns and bridges
What are Dental Implants?
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.
How much do dental implants cost in Hertfordshire?
At Iconic Smiles, single dental implants typically start from around £1,600 plus the crown, depending on complexity and materials. Full-arch and All-on-X solutions are more involved and therefore higher in cost. We:
- Give a clear written estimate after your consultation
- Explain different options and price points in plain language
- Offer finance options (subject to status) to spread the cost of treatment
The dental implant process at Iconic Smiles
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.
Are dental implants right for me?
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.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?
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:
Jaw bone density
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.
General health
We want to ensure you’re healthy enough to recover quickly from your treatment.
Lifestyle choices
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.
Types of dental implant treatment we offer
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
With good planning, careful placement, excellent oral hygiene and regular maintenance, dental implants can last many years. Many well-maintained implants last 10–20 years or longer.
Am I suitable for dental implants if I have been missing teeth for a long time?
Possibly. Even if teeth have been missing for years, we can often rebuild bone with grafts or use full-arch designs. A CBCT scan at our Hertfordshire or North London clinics will show what is realistically possible.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Implants are placed under local anaesthetic, and most patients report pressure rather than pain. We also offer IV sedation for suitable nervous or complex patients so you can feel calm and relaxed during surgery.
How long does dental implant treatment take from start to finish?
Simple single-tooth cases may be completed in a few months. More complex, grafted or full-arch cases often take longer, as we allow time for the bone and implant to fuse before the final teeth are fitted.
Can I have dental implants if I smoke?
Smoking increases the risk of implant failure and slows healing. We will discuss this with you in detail and may strongly recommend reducing or stopping smoking before and after surgery.
Are dental implants available on the NHS?
In general practice, dental implants are usually a private treatment. NHS funding is restricted to very specific hospital-based cases. We will always explain which parts of your plan are NHS and which are private.
Do you offer finance for dental implants in Hertfordshire and North London?
Yes, subject to status. After your consultation, our treatment coordinator can go through finance options, monthly payments and timeframes for your specific implant plan.
