When missing one or more teeth, it doesn’t just cause a gap in your smile. It affects your self-esteem, speech, chewing, and more. When your smile is incomplete, your other natural teeth may shift to fill the space, which can cause dental issues like misalignment, crooked teeth, and other complications for your oral health.
Our dental implant service in Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard practice fixes these issues before they become too problematic. Dental implants are a long-lasting solution to give you back your smile.
Contrary to popular belief, dental implants aren’t the replacement tooth itself. Instead, dental implants are what happens below the surface. When a patient is missing a permanent tooth, or has a damaged or decayed tooth that needs to be removed, the tooth roots go with it. Dental implants are the titanium tooth root replacements.
Implants are surgically placed in the jaw and fuse with the jawbone, keeping the implants firmly in place. The implant holds the artificial tooth or bridge, and blends in seamlessly with your smile. Implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth.
Gerry Graduated in Stellenbosh South Africa 1997. After relocating to the UK he worked in Sedation referral practices in London and Kent where he gained extensive experience in Oral Surgery.
In 2009 he was accepted for a masters degree in Oral Surgery at UCLAN. He then followed this with a masters degree in Implantology as he felt this will compliment his work in Oral Surgery.
Gerry is experienced in implants and oral surgery as well as other advanced implant augmentation procedures, such as bone grafting and sinus augmentation, which help us achieve optimal clinical success.
Gerry is also heavily involved in training colleagues who are interested in improving their skills in these areas. In addition to always learning, he actively supports continuing professional development for his colleagues and is involved in the provision of postgraduate implant training as a mentor for the students on the MSc implant course at the university of Central Lancashire.

Dental implant surgery at our Milton Keynes and Leighton Buzzard practice, is a routine procedure, and we give you all the information you need upfront to feel comfortable. We’ll give you thorough instructions to follow leading up to the appointment and aftercare procedures once the implants have been placed.
Treatment always starts with a comprehensive dental exam, which includes taking digital imaging and making models of your teeth and jaw. The way we perform the surgery depends on the type of dental implants you’ll receive and the condition of your jawbone. It may take several procedures and a few months to heal entirely, but it’s worth it.
Overall, the whole process involves multiple steps:
