The most effective solution for missing teeth
Living with gaps, a denture that won’t stay put, or simply want to restore full function to your smile? Dental implants are a clinically proven, long term solution. Dr Andrew Rochester, MSc Periodontology, leads implant provision at Gold’s Place Dental.
Why choose Gold's Place Dental
Implant care grounded in postgraduate periodontology
Periodontology is the clinical discipline concerned with the health of the gums and jawbone, the foundation on which every implant is placed.
Living with missing teeth is rarely straightforward
Whether it’s difficulty eating, self-consciousness in conversation, or the daily nuisance of a loose denture, the effects are practical as well as personal. A dental implant addresses the root of the problem, not just the surface.
The challenge

FAQs
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about Dental Implants. At Gold's Place Dental, we take a personalised approach to every treatment, ensuring care is tailored to your individual needs. If you have any questions or would like further information, our team will be happy to help.
Most adults with good general health are suitable candidates, though suitability depends on the condition of your gums, the density and volume of your jawbone, and whether any underlying health conditions need to be considered. Dr Rochester’s MSc in Periodontology means he brings postgraduate-level expertise to assessing gum and bone health — precisely the factors that determine implant suitability and long-term success. Some patients require a bone grafting procedure before implant placement is possible. Dr Rochester will assess all of these factors at your consultation and give you an honest, specific answer based on your own clinical picture.
The placement procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during treatment. Most patients report that it is considerably more straightforward than they anticipated. Some post-operative discomfort, mild swelling, and sensitivity is normal in the days following placement; this typically resolves within a week and is managed comfortably with standard over-the-counter pain relief.
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution. With proper care and regular maintenance, many patients retain their implants for decades. Longevity depends on factors including oral hygiene, whether you smoke, and the health of the surrounding bone over time — which is why Dr Rochester’s specialist background in periodontology is directly relevant to the lasting success of your implant. He will discuss what you can do to protect your investment at your consultation.
Dr Rochester will conduct a thorough clinical assessment — examining your teeth, gums, and the quality of the bone in the area where the implant is proposed. He will discuss what you are hoping to achieve, explain the treatment process and likely timescales, and provide a full breakdown of costs. You are under no obligation to proceed. The £20 deposit is returned to you in full if you choose not to go ahead, or credited against your treatment if you do.
Yes. Interest-free patient finance is available through our finance partner, Tabeo. This allows you to spread the cost of treatment over an agreed period without paying more than the treatment price. Dr Rochester will be able to discuss finance options at your consultation, and our team can guide you through the application process, which takes only a few minutes. Finance is subject to status.
