Foundation of Dental Implants
Natural-Looking Dental Implants Built on a Healthy Foundation in Devon
Successful implant treatment depends on the health of the gums and bone that support it. At Parkhill Dental, implant care is planned collaboratively, with our periodontal specialist assessing and stabilising gum health where needed, while our implant dentist plans and places the restoration for a natural, lasting result.

Successful implant treatment depends on the health of the gums and bone that support it. At Parkhill Dental, implant care is planned collaboratively.

Why the Foundation Matters for Your Implant
We Focus on the Long-Term Success of Your Dental Implant in Devon
Our planning goes beyond placing the titanium post. We assess gum health and bone support first, then plan the bite and final restoration for lasting results.
At Parkhill Dental, successful implants depend on a healthy biological foundation. Our Clinical Director, Dr Agata, has an advanced interest in gum health and bone stability, so every implant case in Devon is planned with a deep understanding of soft-tissue health.
We take a foundation-first approach to every case. Our planning considers gum health and bone support, then addresses function and appearance over time, aiming to protect the long-term health of your implant.
Comprehensive Implant Solutions in Torbay
We Provide Precision-Planned Dental Implant Solutions in Devon
Whether you’re looking to replace a single missing tooth or require a full-arch restoration, our approach to dental implants in Devon is planned around your unique anatomy.
- Single Tooth Implants: Replace one missing tooth without preparing the neighbouring teeth for a conventional bridge.
- Multiple Tooth Implants: Implant-supported bridges may be used to replace several missing teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Implants can improve the support and retention of a denture, reducing movement for suitable patients.
- Complex Restorative Cases: For patients with bone loss or gum recession, additional gum or bone treatment may be recommended to improve the foundation before implant placement.
A Collaborative Team Approach
From the first health check to the final placement
At Parkhill Dental, your care is coordinated between clinicians with complementary training and experience. With this team approach, each clinician contributes at the appropriate stage of your treatment, from the initial assessment through to implant placement and long-term care.
Dr Pratik Agarwal – Dentist & Implantologist
GDC No. 274996. Dr Pratik provides surgical implant placement and restorative implant care. His approach focuses on careful planning, function and patient comfort. Conscious IV sedation may be available for suitable nervous patients following assessment.
Dr Agata Ciukiewicz – Clinical Director
GDC No. 102539. With over two decades of clinical experience and an MSc in Periodontology, Dr Agata assesses gum health and stabilises the periodontal foundation where needed before implant treatment. She provides the initial periodontal assessment, gum stabilisation where needed, and long-term maintenance planning to support the health of the gums and tissues around your implant.
Sedation Options for Nervous Patients
Conscious IV Sedation for Added Comfort During Your Dental Implant in Devon
We understand that the thought of implant surgery can feel daunting. Conscious IV sedation may be considered for suitable patients to reduce anxiety and help them feel calmer during treatment, with suitability assessed on an individual basis.
- Deep Relaxation: You will remain conscious and able to talk, but in a state of deep calm.
- Time-Efficiency: Complex or multiple procedures can often be completed in a single, comfortable visit.
Reduced Awareness: IV sedation can reduce awareness of the procedure, and some patients remember little afterwards. Individual experiences vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most adults with good general health and sufficient gum and bone support are suitable candidates. We assess this fully during your consultation at Parkhill Dental.
2. I have been told I have gum disease. Can I still have implants?
Gum disease needs to be treated and stabilised first. Our team will assess your gum health and recommend any preparatory treatment before implant placement.
3. What if my jawbone isn't strong enough for an implant?
A bone graft can build up the area beforehand to give the implant a solid base. We check this using your scans and plan accordingly.
4. How many years can I expect an implant to last?
An implant can last for decades with proper care and routine check-ups. We support this with a long-term maintenance plan tailored to you.
5. Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The area is numbed during placement, so most patients feel little to no pain. We also offer sedation for patients who want extra comfort.
6. What's the price range for dental implants in Devon?
Pricing depends on your specific treatment needs, including any bone or gum work required first. You’ll get a clear breakdown after your consultation.
7. How many visits does the full treatment take?
Treatment usually spans a consultation, the implant surgery, and a final restoration fitting. Cases needing bone or gum work first may require extra appointments.
8. Will people be able to tell I have implants?
No, your new crown or bridge is custom-crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.
9. What's involved in taking care of my implants long-term?
Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits keep implants in good shape, just like natural teeth. We’ll walk you through a routine suited to you.
10. What makes Parkhill Dental the right choice for implants in Devon?
Our foundation-first approach is guided by a Clinical Director with advanced training in periodontology, giving every implant case a strong start built on gum and bone health.
