Why the Foundation Matters for Your Implant
We focus on the longevity of your investment.
Many clinics focus solely on the placement of the titanium post. At Parkhill Dental, we focus on the longevity of your investment.
Successful dental implants require a healthy biological environment. Because our Clinical Director, Dr Agata, has an advanced interest in gum health and bone stability, every implant case we undertake is planned with a deep understanding of soft-tissue health.
This “foundation-first” philosophy helps to maximise the success, aesthetics, and long-term stability of your new smile.

At Parkhill Dental, you benefit from the combined expertise of two highly experienced clinicians. This “Team Approach” ensures every stage of your journey—from the first health check to the final placement—is managed by the right expert.
Dr Pratik Agarwal — Dentist & Implantologist

Dr Agata Ciukiewicz — Clinical Director
GDC No. 71556 With over 25 years of experience and a Master’s in Periodontology, Dr Agata ensures the foundation is ready. She provides the initial periodontal assessment, gum stabilisation, and the critical long-term maintenance planning that ensures your implant stays healthy for decades.
Stress-Free Treatment: Sedation for Nervous Patients
We offer conscious IV sedation to ensure you feel completely relaxed
We understand that the thought of implant surgery can be daunting. As a leading provider of sedation dentistry in Torquay, we offer conscious IV sedation to ensure you feel completely relaxed and at ease.
- 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.
No Memory of the Procedure: Most patients remember very little of the treatment, making it the ideal choice for those with dental anxiety.
Your Implant Journey: The Parkhill Process
A thorough clinical exam, digital imaging
- The Advanced Assessment: A thorough clinical exam, digital imaging, and a periodontal health check to ensure you are a suitable candidate.
- The Foundation Phase: If required, we stabilise the gums or bone to create the perfect environment for your implant.
- Precision Placement: Performed by Dr Pratik using the latest techniques, often under sedation for your comfort.
- Integration & Restoration: After the implant has bonded with the bone, we fit your bespoke, hand-crafted crown or bridge, designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.
- Lifelong Support: We provide a tailored maintenance programme to protect your investment for the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most adults are candidates for implants, but the biological foundation must be healthy. We specialise in treating patients who may have been told elsewhere they lack the bone or gum health for implants. We assess every patient on an individual basis.
2. I have been told I have gum disease. Can I still have implants?
Yes, but the disease must be controlled first. This is where our periodontal expertise is invaluable. Dr Agata’s Master’s-level training enables us to treat and stabilise periodontal issues, ensuring your implants are placed in a healthy, disease-free environment for maximum longevity.
3. What happens if I don't have enough bone?
Over time, missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. At Parkhill Dental, we use advanced imaging to assess your bone volume. If there isn’t enough bone, we can often perform bone grafting or sinus lifts to “rebuild” the foundation before placement.
4. How long do dental implants last?
When placed correctly and maintained well, dental implants are designed to be a lifelong solution. Our focus on “foundation-first” planning and our dedicated maintenance programme are specifically designed to protect your investment for decades to come.
5. Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, meaning you won’t feel pain during treatment. For those who are nervous, our IV Sedation provides a state of deep relaxation, and most patients report feeling very little discomfort during the healing phase.
6. How much do dental implants in Torquay cost?
Implant treatment is a bespoke investment. Following your assessment, we provide a fully transparent, written treatment plan with no hidden costs. We focus on value and longevity rather than the “cheapest” option, ensuring you receive high-quality materials and expert care.
7. How many appointments will I need?
While every case is different, the journey typically involves an assessment, a placement appointment, a review, and a final fitting. For complex cases involving foundational work, the timeline may be longer to ensure the bone and gums are fully healed.
8. Will my new teeth look natural?
Absolutely. We work with master dental technicians to ensure your new teeth perfectly complement your existing smile and facial features in shade, shape, and translucency.
9. How do I look after my dental implants?
You care for them much like natural teeth—with regular brushing and flossing. However, because implants are susceptible to a condition called peri-implantitis (gum disease around an implant), we provide a tailored periodontal maintenance schedule to keep your foundation healthy.
10. Why choose a periodontally-led practice for my implants?
Choosing a practice with a Master’s level focus on Periodontology (gum health) means you are prioritising the long-term success of your treatment. We don’t just “fit” teeth; we manage the complex biological environment surrounding the implant to prevent future complications.
