Missing Teeth
Restore your confidence and quality of life
Helping replace missing teeth
Tooth loss is more common than you may think and if left untreated it can have an impact on the way you eat, talk and smile – especially if it’s one of your front teeth.
Thankfully, at Dental House we have an array of solutions to replace your missing teeth here in Sunbury-on-Thames. Using the very latest materials and techniques including dental implants, bridges and dentures, we can make your ‘new’ teeth look and function like your natural teeth – helping restore your confidence and getting you smiling again.
Dental Implants
If you’re considering dental implants in Sunbury-on-Thames then it’s likely that you’re missing teeth or need teeth replacing, either through tooth decay, gum problems, trauma, or injury.
The loss of a tooth, for any reason, can be traumatic at any age and finding a long-lasting replacement to missing teeth with dental implants can, in many cases, be the ideal solution. More than just a solution for tooth restoration – they can improve your quality of life.
Made from titanium, dental implants are artificial tooth roots which are surgically inserted into the jaw to replace the missing root. Titanium implants integrate well with the surrounding bone and overtime the jawbone will grow around the surface of the implant providing a strong foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures to be securely attached.

Dental implants offer a durable and long-term solution for lost teeth or ill-fitting dentures. They look, feel and function like your natural teeth, enabling you to speak clearly, eat with enjoyment and smile with confidence. Additionally, dental implants play an important role in improving or preventing facial sagging as their firm position within the jawbone prevents teeth from shifting and the jaw from shrinking.
Our team are highly trained and experienced in the placement and restoration of dental implants so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands when receiving dental implant treatment in Sunbury-On-Thames.
Aesthetic
They look, feel and function like your own teeth, so no one will know you’ve got them.
Durable
Enjoy a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth – unlike crowns, bridges and dentures which need to be replaced overtime.
Quality of life
Regain your confidence to eat, speak and smile without fear, discomfort or embarrassment.
Tooth & bone saving
They prevent bone shrinkage, so you’ll look younger for longer – plus more of your adjacent teeth are left untouched during treatment.
How does the dental implant procedure work?
1
Extraction
The damaged tooth is removed if required.
2
Bone preparation
Your jawbone is prepared for surgery, depending on the health of your jawbone, grafting may be required.
3
Implant placement
The dental implant post is inserted into the jawbone as a strong replacement for your natural tooth root.
4
Healing Phase
The bone is given time to heal around the implant (osseointegrate). In some cases you may be given a temporary crown the same day.
5
Restoration
After the soft tissue heals, your dentist will make moulds of your teeth and jawbone and later place the final crown 3-6 months after implant placement.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Dental implants are an ideal alternative to missing teeth for patients of all ages. They are especially practical for those who can no longer wear removable dentures.
However, implants can only be considered in patients with a healthy amount of bone in their jaw. In extreme cases where there may not be enough bone, we may be able to augment this with bone grafting before placing the implant.
Even if you have previously been told you are unsuitable for implants because of bone degeneration or if you have been missing your teeth for some time, we may be able to help. To find out if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants, we recommend a consultation where we will examine your mouth and assess your suitability.
Implant-supported bridges
Do you have several missing teeth? Do you have trouble chewing?
If you have lost several teeth in a row or are concerned about your ability to chew due to the loss of a molar, then an implant-supported bridge could be the ideal solution to help restore balance to your chewing function and protect remaining teeth.
Implant-supported bridges are like traditional bridges in that they provide a fixed solution to fill the gap between other teeth. An implant-supported bridge involves two or more implants being used to support several fixed teeth. Each missing tooth does not necessarily require an individual implant but may be placed at either end of the gap and bridge across the implants. With implant-supported bridges there is no need to wear an uncomfortable denture.
What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots which are surgically inserted into the jaw to replace the missing root. Made of titanium, they integrate well with the surrounding bone and overtime the jawbone will grow around the surface of the implant providing a strong foundation for your bridge to securely attach.
Dental implants offer a durable and long-term solution for missing teeth – they look, feel and function like your natural teeth, enabling you to speak clearly, eat with enjoyment and smile with confidence.
Why would I need an implant-supported bridge?
Losing your teeth because of an accident, teeth decay or gum disease can create unsightly gaps in your smile. This can not only cause you to feel self-conscious about laughing and smiling but can also have an effect on the development and positioning of the surrounding teeth and jaw, potentially causing your face to sag and age prematurely. Whether you have one, two, three or more missing teeth an implant-supported denture can fill this gap.
Why implant-supported bridge instead of an ordinary bridge?
Ordinary bridges are supported by surrounding healthy teeth. This means that adjacent healthy teeth on either side of the bridge need to be filed down so that the bridge can be fitted from one tooth to another, with the false teeth in between. The healthy teeth then bear all the weight of the ordinary bridge.
With an implant-supported bridge, the false-tooth (or teeth) is supported by the implant, so there is no damage to the adjacent teeth. They are also more durable than ordinary bridges, which need to be changed every 10-15 years. An implant-supported bridge can last a lifetime, if well maintained and care for. For those patients who grind or clench, implant-supported bridges are far stronger and more durable to stand the test of time.
Full-arch dental implants
Partial or full dentures can be uncomfortable and irritating for many patients, as they face a daily struggle of chewing and speaking, which can seriously impact their quality of life.
Whilst removable dentures are an improvement to having no teeth, ill-fitting dentures that rub and give discomfort can have a huge knock on your self-confidence. Additionally, you may find that with the loss of your teeth, and having worn dentures for a significant amount of time, your jaw has receded and your facial features are beginning to sag prematurely.
At Dental House, our highly-qualified dentists can provide patients with a more comfortable solution by way of removable and fixed full-arch dental prostheses. Your Sunbury-on-Thames dentist can securely fix dental implants into the jawbone upon which your dental prosthesis will be firmly attached meaning your dentures will not be able to shift or move in the mouth.
This procedure is minimally invasive, and the dental implants are placed under local anaesthetic so you should feel no discomfort. Intravenous sedation can be offered for our more nervous patients and for any patient who wants to feel relaxed during the procedure. Any swelling afterwards can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Case study
Patients concerns:
Missing teeth, aesthetic concerns (concerned with appearance), poor functionality.
What we did:
Full arch implants were placed (x4) per arch and restored on the same day with an implant retained provisional bridge – the patient walked out with a new smile – returning 3 months later for the definitive bridge once implant integration had taken place.
Fixed full-arch dental implants (Neoarch®)
With revolutionary modern dental technology, coupled with the expertise of our in-house implant surgeon, we can replace your missing teeth and restore your natural-looking smile in just one day!
When it comes to full-mouth rehabilitation, your Dental House dentist will use Same-Day Teeth dental implants, to restore an entire arch of fixed non-removable teeth (upper or lower) using four strategically positioned implants. Using the Neoarch® solution from Neodent® (a Straumann Group brand), we ensure quality and reliability for an immediate fixed full-arch dental implant solution, enabling us to provide our patients with optimal stability to restore their smile, function and self-confidence. This technique maximises the available jawbone offering patients immediate and natural functionality without the need for complex and expensive bone grafting. No dietary restrictions. No garbled speech. Just perfectly natural-looking and functional replacement teeth, giving you a better quality of life and a more confident smile in just one day.
Who would benefit from full-arch implants (Neoarch®)?
This Same-Day Teeth approach is perfect for patients looking to restore their smile with full-arches of replacement teeth. If you’re looking for a secure and permanent alternative to dentures, this treatment is the ideal missing teeth solution.
Patients who have previously been denied a single-tooth implant due to reduced bone density will often qualify for Neoarch without having to undergo invasive bone graft surgery. This is because Neoarch implants are secured to the naturally thicker bone towards the front of the jaw.

Removable full-arch implant supported dentures
Partial or full dentures can be uncomfortable and irritating for many patients, as they face the daily struggle of chewing, speaking and generally enjoying life.
Whilst removable dentures are an improvement to having no teeth, ill-fitting dentures that rub and cause discomfort can have a huge knock on your self-confidence.
Additionally, you may find that with the loss of your teeth and having worn dentures for a significant amount of time, you jaw has receded and your facial features are beginning to sag and age prematurely.
Denture stabilisation treatment involves placing dental implants into the jawbone in the same way as natural teeth are. This means they are stable and will not shift or move in the mouth and can safely and securely support your dentures – helping transform your comfort, function, self-esteem and confidence all at the same time.
10 reasons why implant-supported dentures are for you
- Strong foundation and support for full or partial dentures
- Similar look and function to natural teeth
- Durable and long-lasting
- Comfortable and stable unlike traditional dentures
- No need for unpleasant denture adhesives
- Improves speech
- Improves ability to chew and reduces digestive problems
- Reduces the risk of bone loss
- Better support for facial tissues to give a more youthful appearance
- Gives you the confidence to smile

Bridges
If you’ve you lost a tooth through trauma, sports injury, gum disease or advanced tooth decay then Dental House can provide a permanent replacement with a bridge.
A bridge is a false tooth (or teeth) that are permanently cemented to the natural teeth adjacent to the gap, or to the natural tooth to the side of the gap. Bridges are an ideal solution for those who don’t like the idea of dentures or have only a few missing teeth.
Our bridges are crafted by hand at our in-house laboratory, ensuring that your bridge matches the colour of your teeth and fits and works well within your mouth.
Dentures
Dentures are a traditional option for replacing missing teeth, available as either a partial, if you still have some of your natural teeth, or as a full set to replace one or both of your arches.
Advancements in dentures means that they are no longer as uncomfortable as they once were, and they look more realistic too. A simple and cost-effective solution to missing teeth, dentures are for most people trouble-free and will remain comfortably in place.
Missing teeth can affect your confidence and overall quality of life and replacing them with dentures can provide many benefits.
- Feel more confident in social situations
- Eat comfortably and enjoy the foods you may have missed since losing your teeth
- Restore your speech
- Match your gums and facial features
- Support facial tissues to limit sagging and premature aging
- Less costly than other, permanent, restorative options

Highly recommend Dental House for their warm welcome, expertise and care. Very happy with the result of teeth straightening with invisilign, whitening and two implants. Each process was explained clearly and I can now smile with confidence.
Have been going here for a few years now and always found all the staff brilliant! I have had check ups with Dr Raashi Mehta and Dr Shamir Chandarana who are just great and always makes me feel so comfortable. Today I was seen by Amy the hygienist and she is so lovely and did such a great job. Wendy at reception is also so friendly every singly time I see her. Thanks Dental House Team, see you in 6 months 🙂
I have received the most fantastic care at Dental House. The whole experience has been flawless and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.
Just had my first visit here for a check up and it was one of the most pleasant dentist trips I’ve had. The practice is very clean and comfortable. Reception and dentist were welcoming and professional. I had a detailed checkup and feel much more confident about my teeth and their care. Highly recommend!!
I want to say a huge thank you to Dr.Shamir and Dental house. I have a great experience and very happy with all treatment and service, everything was straight forward and clear, the booking system is very good. Dr.Shamir done a great job, he was very professional, friendly, and just a good person. I would definitely would come back to him for the next check up. Thank you so much!Jurijus Bykovas
I've had my share of less-than-pleasant dental experiences. But my visits with Dr. Hassan Abbas at Dental House were a refreshing change, i did my research before and also checked out his work on instagram. He's incredibly caring and professional, and he truly takes the time to understand your concerns. I underwent Invisalign, teeth whitening, and bonding, and Dr. Abbas patiently explained every detail, empowering me to make informed decisions. His calm and reassuring manner makes the entire... process much more comfortable. I'm incredibly happy with my smile transformation and highly recommend Dr. Abbas to anyone seeking a truly exceptional dental experience.read more
I'll start by saying WOW!! From my very 1st phone call with Wendy am so happy with meeting Caroline today they are both so professional. I was met with a kind and informative greeting, and Shamir the Dentist was so nice it's beyond words.This is a Fantastic! Dentistry to visit, I recommend it to all who would welcome a refreshing change to the way they view their Dental health. Give them a call, you will not regret it 👍👏To add to my previous review, this one goes out to... John,the Dental technician at Dental house. I needed upper and lower partial dentures. After a very professional scan of my teeth, I was called back for my first fitting and to match my teeth colouring. They are a perfect fit, and I am so happy with them. It was money well spent, and I would recommend this service to anyone needing dentures. Thank you, John. Amazing 👏read more
I’ve just been to visit the hygienist, Amy, today. She was so friendly and kind. I’m not usually a big fan of dentist visits but she made it a very pleasant experience. Thank you Amy!
Highly recommend! I was able to get a same-day (Saturday!) emergency appointment as an unregistered patient. From the moment I called through until leaving after my appointment all the staff were professional, kind and efficient. I received extensive treatment for my broken tooth, the dentist was absolutely superb. Finally, the cost was incredibly reasonable. I will certainly be returning for all routine dental care. Thank you all at Dental House.
Fantastic clinic and the hygienist Amy did a great job in my teeth . Excellent professionals and Doctor Hassan fantastic dentist . Well done team ❤️
I decided to go down the clear aligners route with Dental House and I’m so glad I did. Not only were the results better than expected, but Dr Shamir was excellent in explaining the entire process, and maintained great contact via regular check-up appointments to ensure everything was on track. Highly recommend!!
Dental House is an extraordinary well performed dentist to choose if you are struggling from seeking someone to handle a complex case but not affordable to use specialist.Moreover, the principle doctor’s canal treatment technique is neat and smooth, and amazingly no pain (even for anaesthetisation) that was proofed by my wife who is super super nervous, suffered from bad experience before…Thanks again Dental House.
I would highly recommend Dr Shamir and the dental house , I’ve recently had an Invisalign brace followed by whitening and composite edge bonding and am so happy with the results. Shamir was incredibly informative and friendly during the whole process giving different options and treatment plans along the way. I also had a crown fitted last year by Shamir and have used the practice for the hygienist appointments and my younger son’s check ups. All in all a lovely dental practice with an... incredibly friendly helpful team !read more
A very good experience, excellent work on some old worn teeth 😬 first class and without pain. Thoroughly recommend them.Professional and friendly.
Visited Hassan at Dental House a couple years ago for some cosmetic work on my teeth and he did the most amazing job - I get so many compliments on them whenever I’m out still now.I then revisited this week for some dental work which I was so nervous about but he’s done an amazing job once again. Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my teeth !
Raj is a fantastic hygienist, I would highly recommend her. She is very thorough, methodical and gentle. She also provides advice on how to care for the teeth! Brilliant and thank you Dental House!
I recently completed a course of Invisalign and teeth whitening with Hassan Abbas and could not recommend him more. He is very patient-centred and meticulous in his approach. My results were quicker and better than expected. Thank you to Hassan and the whole team.
The staff were very helpful and I left feeing really good about the treatment I got. Would recommend to everyone.
I’d like to share a review as I feel this deserves one! And a very positive one! My entire experience being with dental house has been amazing. From the receptionist staff to Dr Hassan! I visited Hassan as I had concerns regarding gaps in my lower teeth and I wanted straight, white teeth I was skeptical if Invisalign could resolve this. However I was on the comprehensive treatment plan and hassan was attentive and kept me in the loop with the next steps and was always happy to answer any... questions. During the end of my treatment I opted for edge composite bonding for a clean finish, I couldn’t have asked for anything better, Hassan’s attention to detail was spot on and he has given me the smile I always wanted!!! One hundred percent recommend this practise and all the staff are welcoming. Thank you Dental House and massive thanks you to Hassan.read more
I’ve recently had composite veneers done by Hassan and he was amazing from start to finish. They are perfect and have turned out better than I hoped for. Having the option to have a demo appointment beforehand to get a clear vision to see what the teeth would look like was really helpful, I was scared they might look too big and I wouldn’t suit them. This put my mind at ease. Hassan was also very helpful and patient with all my questions and giving me the correct advice to achieve my desired... outcome. I had a very minor issue that needed correcting and messaged Hassan over WhatsApp and was booked in to see him the following week. All the staff are great and very welcoming however especially Wendy on reception, she was so lovely and attentive and answered all the questions I had regarding the process. Highly recommend this practice and I am over the moon with my teeth.read more
As a nervous patient who had not been to the dentist for many years I could not be more pleased with everything dental house did to repair a cracked tooth and resolve the accompanying gum infection. Would definitely recommend.
I have loved my experience at The Dental House, I recently had whitening and composite bonding done with Dr Shamir. I was only looking to have bonding on one tooth and I really liked how Dr Shamir understood this and didn’t put pressure on me to get it on all my other teeth too. He gave suggestions as to other things they could do for me which I hadn’t considered previously, such as filing of my other teeth to subtly enhance my smile, but he didn’t put pressure on me to do everything he... suggested. During my bonding appointment, he would stop and show me my teeth at various points so we could chat through my thoughts on the colour and shape etc and make any changes along the way, which I really liked. They are really transparent regarding fees and the 0% payment plan was so quick and easy to set up. All the staff and receptionists there are so lovely and helpful, making it a really nice experience every time.read more
I booked an emergency appointment and was seen immediately by Dr. Amar who was very thorough and professional. I was very satisfied with the service I received and would not hesitate to recommend this dentist. I also received a gift bag with some promotional material, travel toothpaste, floss & a pen which was a nice gesture.
My daughter went to see DrAmar last week. Absolutely Amazing, she been so brave and he was so kind.I call Wendy and she book us the some day,High Recommended, very professional.Thank you so much for the help
Fantastic service and really friendly staff. Very modern dental practice with knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great treatment and would definitely recommend.
just brilliant, I required a urgent fix to a bridge that had been fitted 4 years ago by a different surgery, From my call i was reassured that a positive outcome would be achievable, from receptionist to dentist I was looked after and reassured. im pleased to say that everything was fixed and at a very reasonable price considering i was an emergency visit .
Very happy with the service I received over the last year, staff are friendly but professional. Very happy with my new smile. : )
I love my experience at the Dental House, they are really efficient, polite, comforting and reassuring. I’m so lucky I got to do my dental work with Dr Shamir, he’s so kind and pleasant. You just feel safe with him! When I had my 2hr procedure done, I was able to watch suits (my favourite show) in the TV, which made the experience feel like 30minutes and very pleasant. The facilities are clean and a nice design and layout in the dentist. Overall great experience
I am relatively new to dental house but my experience so far has been very pleasant right from Wendy at the reception, to the appointments with thr hygienist.Wendy has been very warm, welcoming and accommodating when I’ve needed to book appointments on weekends around my work schedule.I have had 2x hygienist appointments with Raj Gill and she has been very helpful with helping me keep on track with getting my teeth back to normalVery informative, patient and thorough during my appointments... even giving me one on one demonstrations on how to properly look after my teethHighly recommend dental houseread more
The best service I can ever remember receiving from anyone.Every appointment was kept; each service offered was fulfilled; all times were kept.A new client was introduced to them just before Christmas, and thanks to them they were able to have a Christmas dinner.From Wendy Howe on Reception, to Jonathan Howe, the Clinical Technician, all was pleasentness and efficiency.I live miles away from them, and these details were arranged over the 'phone, for someone in a care home, without my... needing to make a personal visit, eitherThanks very, very much indeed for being an example to all.read more
Before visiting Dental house this time last year I hadn’t been to the dentist for 15ish years and was really apprehensive. Raashi, the hygeinist and assistant team have taken such good care of me I would recommend them to anyone. From basic dental care through to completing Invisalign with this practice, they have been patient and kind to me. More recently Shamir has supported and the handover of are felt seamless. The confidence I have gained through completing this journey and getting my... teeth healthy and straighter is noticeable. Thank you Dental House team!read more
Amazing practice! Originally discovered them when I had a dental emergency and my usual practice was fully booked. The dental house saw me within 48 hours and solved the problem so quickly! I then signed up my son who has autism to the practice, and I cannot stress how wonderful they were with him, to the point where he's asking when he can next go! Amazing service and a friendly team all round. I'm glad I made the change to here!
My father whom has Dementia had an appointment recently and my Mother has the following feedback: My experience from the start was very good. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed.I really like the team here at the Dental House Surgery. The care during the process and after care was fantastic. They look after their patients very well with a smile and are very polite. I found everyone from the receptionist to all staff, Dentist and the hygienist Dr Shamir... very friendly and very professional. My husband felt very comfortable and we are very happy with their service. Thank you.read more
I can’t praise this Dental Practice enough. I first came here in April 2023 and from the second I stepped foot inside I have received excellent care and work on my teeth. Caroline on reception makes you feel so welcome and put me at ease instantly. I saw both Dr Raashi Mehta and Dr Shamir Chandarana for a root canal, fillings, and the replacement of a very old, poorly fitted crown. They both made me feel so at ease in the chair and all my anxiety went away. They also gave me excellent advice... on how to continue to care for my teeth. I’m thrilled with the results and I highly recommend this Dental Practice.read more
First visit to a dentist today in 10 years. Bad tooth ache and was petrified. Was very quickly put at easy and everything was explained to me. Made for a very pleasant experience. Would highly recommend.
Very happy with the service received at Dental House.Friendly and helpful receptionist, excellent hygienist and dentist.Highly recommend.
Dental House is the answer to all your tooth related issues. They are very kind, professional, efficient, well run, reasonably priced and sympathetic. I had a root canal and a crown on what was effectively only half a tooth and it's amazing! The crown is just like a real tooth. If you need great dentists, look no further.
I regularly travel for over 1.5 hours each way specifically to attend this clinic to care for my teeth. Both dentists there are absolute life savers and have helped so much in emergency situations. They are so gentle, professional, prompt and super friendly. They soon put you at ease and I've never felt uncomfortable unlike past experiences at other dentists. Highly recommend. 👌🏽
I would highly recommend dental house. Hassan dealt with my case with great care from start to finish. Had many comments on how good my teeth look and that's all down to Hassan and his quality of work. Thank you.
Great experience, makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Dental house.
The whole team was amazing, extremely happy with the results and very professional
Really great experience. They could see me same day I called and offered thorough explanation of the process. Treatment fees are fair. Absolutely the Dentist to see if you have anxiety about dentists or treatments. They make you feel confident and comfortable from reception to treatment and after. Really grateful I found them.
My first visit to Dental House today. Was very impressed with everything and everyone. My dentist Hassan was really kind and pleasant. He explained everything to me and I felt really relaxed during the check up.Wendy was amazing and made me feel so welcome. I will definately recommend Dental House to My friends.
Dr Hassan has been amazing from start to finish. I walked in hating my smile and at the end of the process, I walked out loving it. Hassan made me feel at ease throughout every appointment and there’s no one I would trust more with my teeth. Have already recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so - THE place to go for all your dental needs!!
Fantastic experience at Dental House. The staff are kind, professional and extremely knowledgable.
