To do this, a spokesperson said they "utilise cutting-edge technology" to assess patient suitability for dental implants, plan surgeries via "guided technique"s and often place implants at the time of extraction, "significantly reducing treatment time".

The team also expressed "heartfelt thanks" to their patients, acknowledging that their trust and feedback have been "invaluable" in this journey.

Next up is the Private Dentistry Awards in November, where the centre has been selected as a finalist in 10 different categories, bringing their total nominations this year to 16.
