Dental Implants in Burnt Oak — Toothi, Edgware
If you are looking for dental implants in Burnt Oak, Toothi is one Northern line stop up the road. We are a fully private cosmetic and implant clinic at 1 Handel Parade, Whitchurch Lane, Edgware HA8 6LD — in the same HA8 postcode as much of Burnt Oak itself. Single tooth implants start from £1,995 including the crown, the first implant consultation is free, and every implant is planned and placed personally by Dr Ali El-Kabengi (GDC 270807), a Private Dentistry Awards finalist who has narrowed his own clinical list to implant and cosmetic work.
Why Burnt Oak patients come to Toothi
Burnt Oak has no shortage of dentists along Watling Avenue and Burnt Oak Broadway, and for check-ups and fillings many of them serve the area well. Implant dentistry is a different kind of treatment: it is minor surgery with a restorative outcome, and the result depends far more on planning and experience than on how close the practice is to your front door. Fortunately, in this case you do not have to choose — we are five minutes up the A5.
At Toothi you meet the dentist who will place your implant at the very first appointment, and the same dentist fits the final crown. Nothing is handed off to a visiting implantologist you meet once on the day of surgery. We take a 3D CBCT scan before we quote, so the written plan you receive is based on your actual bone rather than an estimate — and if the scan shows the site cannot take an implant without grafting first, we tell you at the consultation, not halfway through treatment.
What we can replace
- A single missing tooth — one implant and one crown, from £1,995. The healthy teeth either side are left untouched.
- Several missing teeth — implants can carry a bridge, so a three-tooth gap often needs only two implants rather than one per tooth.
- A full arch — an implant-retained denture on two to four implants is £7,995 and puts an end to a loose lower denture moving when you eat or speak. All-on-4 and All-on-6 fixed bridges are quoted after assessment.
- An implant placed elsewhere that is giving trouble — including implants fitted abroad. We assess it and give you an honest view on whether it can be saved.
Implant, bridge or denture — the honest comparison
An implant is not automatically the right answer, and we will say so when it is not. If the teeth either side of the gap are already crowned or heavily filled, a conventional bridge from £595 per unit can make more biological sense, because those teeth are compromised anyway. If several teeth are missing and budget is the deciding factor, a well-made denture from £595 still does a genuine job. Heavy smoking and poorly controlled diabetes both reduce implant success rates, and we would rather tell you that at a free consultation than after you have paid.
What it costs
- New implant consultation — free
- Single tooth implant including the crown — from £1,995
- Implant-retained denture (two to four implants) — £7,995
- All-on-4 / All-on-6, bone grafting, sinus lift — quoted after assessment
- Routine implant review examination — £95 · implant hygiene therapy — £150
Every figure is confirmed in a written treatment plan before anything starts, and 0% finance over ten months is available on treatment over £250 — a single implant works out at roughly £200 a month over that term, or a smaller monthly amount over a longer low-interest plan. The full price list is on our fees page.
How long it takes
A straightforward single implant is usually three appointments over three to four months: consultation and CBCT scan, placement (about an hour, under normal local anaesthetic), then the crown once the bone has fused with the implant. Bone grafting or a sinus lift adds a few months to the timetable. You are not left with a visible gap in the meantime — a temporary is made where the tooth shows. There is a step-by-step guide on the implant journey and full clinical detail on our main dental implants page.
Getting here from Burnt Oak
We are genuinely close. From Burnt Oak station the Northern line runs one stop to Edgware — about two minutes — and we are a five-minute walk from Edgware station. Driving from Watling Avenue or Burnt Oak Broadway takes around five minutes straight up the A5 towards Edgware, with parking in Edgware town centre, and several bus routes run along the Broadway towards Edgware station. From the Watling estate side you can even walk it in under half an hour. Patients from Burnt Oak, Colindale and Queensbury make up a large part of our list; there is more on our Burnt Oak practice page and the areas we cover.
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday 9am–6pm, Sunday 10am–5pm — open seven days. Implant surgery is normally booked on a weekday morning, but consultations and reviews can happen at the weekend, which suits patients who cannot take time off work at Sainsbury’s, the hospital or anywhere else with an unforgiving rota.
Dental implants in Burnt Oak — frequently asked questions
How much does a dental implant cost near Burnt Oak?
At Toothi in Edgware, one stop from Burnt Oak, a single implant including the crown starts from £1,995, with a free first consultation and 0% finance over ten months on treatment over £250. Central London clinics commonly charge £2,500–£3,500 for the same treatment, which is why many Burnt Oak patients look locally first.
Can I get a dental implant on the NHS?
Only in narrow clinical circumstances, such as after facial trauma or cancer treatment. Routine replacement of a missing tooth is a private treatment wherever you go, which is why we publish our fees in full rather than asking you to come in to find out.
What if I have been told I do not have enough bone?
That is not necessarily the end of it. Bone grafting and sinus lifts can rebuild enough volume for an implant in many cases, and sometimes a different implant position avoids the problem altogether. The 3D scan at your free consultation shows exactly what is possible before you commit to anything.
Does having an implant placed hurt?
Not during the procedure — the area is completely numb, and placement usually takes about an hour. Afterwards expect two or three days of soreness similar to having a tooth out, managed with ordinary painkillers. Most patients are back at work the next day.
Is it cheaper to get implants done abroad?
The headline price often is — but aftercare is where it unravels. If something needs adjusting six months later you are looking at another flight, and UK dentists cannot always source parts for unfamiliar implant systems. We see patients from Burnt Oak who have had implants fitted abroad and need them reviewed; we are glad to help, but it is worth pricing the follow-up into the comparison before you book anything.
