If you are considering dental implants, Maida Smiles offers an implant service led by Dr Pedro Gutierres, who places all of our dental implants.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth, and it holds a crown, bridge or denture in place. Single implants at Maida Smiles start from £2,500, including the abutment and crown, and your first step is a consultation, so you know your own plan and cost before anything begins.
Dental implants suit adults who have lost one or more teeth, have healthy gums and have enough jawbone, or are willing to have bone built up first. They are not the only route. A bridge or a denture can also replace missing teeth, and the right choice depends on your mouth, your budget and how you feel about each option. Our fee guide lists dental bridges at £1,050 per unit, acrylic dentures from £1,050 and cobalt chrome dentures from £1,250, so you can compare them with implants before your visit.
If you have gum disease, it will usually need treating before any implant is placed, and smoking can slow healing. Your dentist will go through your medical history and your habits at the consultation. That conversation is better had in person than guessed at from a web page, which is why we start every implant plan with a consultation rather than a quote over the phone.
Dental implants are one of the main ways to replace missing teeth without relying on neighbouring teeth, and they are the main reason many of our patients travel to us from across London. According to the NHS, an implant is a fixture placed into the jawbone that holds a replacement tooth, and it needs enough healthy bone and healthy gums to be placed.
If you live or work around Paddington, Bayswater, Little Venice or Paddington Basin, the practice is on a direct line from your station, so you do not need to cross central London to reach us. For more on how we serve the area, our Paddington dentist has the details.
We are a private practice, and our website footer states that we are GDC registered and CQC registered. Dr Gutierres places all of our implants, and our specialist services listing states he has a masters in implantology.
We do not promise a particular result or timeline. Your dentist will tell you plainly whether implants are right for you, and if another option such as a bridge or denture suits you better, we will explain that too.
New patients can book online or call 020 3583 9809. A new patient exam is £110 and an existing patient exam is £95, with a £50 refundable deposit at booking.

An implant consultation is a first appointment to look at your mouth, discuss which teeth are missing and what you want, and decide whether implants suit you. It is also where you find out how many visits to expect, so you can plan your travel and time off work. You can read the detail of what happens at an implant consultation.
Your dentist will check your teeth, gums and bone. A 3D CBCT scan is a scan that shows the depth, width and density of the jawbone, which helps to plan where an implant can go. Our fee guide lists CBCT at £175 per arch, and you can see how CBCT scans work. If bone is thin, a bone graft or sinus lift may be discussed first.
The fee guide shows a dental implant consultation at £115, which is taken as a deposit and refunded when you attend, and a free consultation with a treatment coordinator is also offered.
Implants are placed under local anaesthetic. After placement the jaw needs time to heal around the implant, which can take several months. Our consultation notes give a healing gap of roughly three months, and say osseointegration can take three to eight months. Most of that time you do not need to be at the clinic, which matters if you are travelling in from Paddington.
Follow up appointments are scheduled 7 to 14 days after placement, according to our aftercare advice, and any stitches are removed at that visit. Our implant aftercare notes list the cold drinks, soft foods and mouthwash advice for the first days.
Once healing is complete, the final crown, bridge or denture is fitted. For one missing tooth, a single implant and crown is the usual route, and you can read more about single dental implants. Your dentist will explain the exact stages and the number of visits when they plan your treatment.
"I was very nervous about having a dental implant but was immediately put at ease by Dr Pedro Gutierres. The procedure was explained in full and the care both during and after treatment has been of the highest standard. I received advice on how to look after my implant and have had no problems. I highly recommend."

"I couldn't recommend Maida Smiles enough: the care, attention to detail and the way Dentists and Nurses made sure I felt comfortable and safe throughout the treatments was incredible. Dr Pedro explained the treatments in detail to me and I have never felt under pressure to proceed... but I am very glad I did as I am happy and confident to smile again!"

These are the fees on our website. They are for guidance, and your own plan will depend on what your consultation finds. You can see all of them on our dental implant fees listing, with a fuller breakdown of implant costs.
| Treatment | Fee |
|---|---|
| Single dental implant (implant, abutment and crown) | From £2,500 |
| Implant bridge | From £2,000 |
| Implant dentures | From £6,500 |
| All on 4 (full arch) | From £16,000 |
| Bone graft | £950 |
| Sinus lift | £1,950 |
| Dental implant consultation | £115 deposit, refunded on attendance |
| CBCT scan | £175 per arch |
Possible extra costs such as bone grafts, sinus lifts and gum treatment are not included in the single implant fee.
Spreading the cost is possible. We offer 0% finance over 12 months, arranged through dental finance, so a £2,500 single implant works out at £208.33 a month over 12 months at 0% APR, according to our costs breakdown. Finance is subject to status, and we act as a credit broker, not a lender. Without finance, our costs breakdown says 50% is paid up front and the rest three months after healing.
Maida Vale is on the Bakerloo line, and Paddington is two stops away through Warwick Avenue. From Maida Vale tube station, the clinic is a two minute walk. If you drive, paid parking is available through ParkBee on Lanark Road, the road next to the practice.
The journey is a short tube ride rather than a long trip across the city. Many patients combine the visit with work or a commute home, and we are open until 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
| Day | Opening hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 to 18:00 |
| Tuesday | 09:00 to 20:00 |
| Wednesday | 09:00 to 18:00 |
| Thursday | 09:00 to 20:00 |
| Friday | 09:00 to 18:00 |
| Saturday | 09:00 to 18:00 |
Many patients from Paddington work nearby or commute through the station, so we plan visits with travel in mind. Treatment is made up of a handful of appointments spread across several months, with the longest gap being the healing period, when you usually do not need to be at the clinic.
A practical approach is to ask about a Tuesday or Thursday evening, when we are open until 8pm, or a Saturday, then take the Bakerloo line home. If you are unsure about the journey, call us on 020 3583 9809 and we will talk you through the route and what to bring, such as a list of your medicines and details of any previous dental work.
No. Our clinic is in Maida Vale. It is two stops from Paddington on the Bakerloo line, and two minutes on foot from Maida Vale tube station.
A single dental implant is from £2,500 on our fee page, including the abutment and crown. Implant bridges are from £2,000 and implant dentures are from £6,500. Your dentist will give you a written plan after your consultation.
Take the Bakerloo line from Paddington northbound towards Harrow and Wealdstone, then get off at Maida Vale. The practice is a two minute walk from the station. Check the live TfL journey planner on the day, since services can change.
Yes. A consultation, usually with scans, is where your dentist checks your gums, bone and the rest of your teeth, and agrees a plan with you. The steps are set out above.
We offer 0% finance over 12 months, subject to status, and we are a credit broker, not a lender. A £2,500 single implant is £208.33 a month over 12 months at 0% APR, according to our costs breakdown.
It depends on your case. Healing around an implant can take several months, so the full course is longer than a single visit. Your dentist will give you an estimate at your consultation, and most of the healing time does not need you at the clinic.
We are open until 8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 09:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays.
Book your implant consultation: call 020 3583 9809 or book online.
Address: 207-209 Sutherland Ave, London W9 1RU. Get directions.
Paid parking is available using ParkBee on Lanark Road (the road right next to the practice). For public transport users, we are a two-minute walk from Maida Vale tube station.

I could not be more satisfied with my experience at Maida Smiles - A special mention to Dr Gurteurez who is one of the most friendly and professional dentists I have ever met
Adam
I had my first visit and the team was very warm, caring and professional. The online booking platform makes it very easy to arrange your appointment. Doctor Pedro made me feel comfortable despite this being my first appointment since Covid. He is incredibly knowledgeable and offers you the best treatment for your specific condition. I would highly recommend them
Gian Paolo Ziletti
Professional. Friendly. Informative. Maida Smiles offers great dental services including cleanings, oral surgery and realignment. I feel very lucky to have them so close by. I had an appointment just this week that was quick, thorough and safe.
Emily Chmura
Being very nervous about using dentists after a terrible experience when I was younger, I came to Maida Smiles and loved the calm patient demeanour of Pedro. You can clearly see Pedro and the team take pride in what they do and are perfectionists. The whole experience was great and I will never go to another dentist again.
Reena Nathwani
Delighted with the outcome of my treatment by Pedro. Meticulous attention to detail explaining exactly how the procedure would be carried out from first consultation to completion backed up with supporting guidance notes. Clearly an expert in his field and someone who cares passionately about the outcomes for his patients. Highly recommended.
George Jones
I loved my first visit to Maida Smile Dental Clinic. The staff member at reception was very warm, welcoming and professional. My dentist, Priscilla, and her assistant were fantastic. I have quite sensitive teeth near my gums and I can find the probing and investigation quite uncomfortable during a consultation, but this wasn’t the case at all. I didn’t experience discomfort and felt in very safe hands. This also applied to the hygienist work. I didn’t even have to ask Priscilla to avoid using the ultra sound cleaner on the sensitive areas of my teeth. I’m looking forward to going back, and that’s not often you can say that about going to the dentist!
Simone Gibson
Since I first had the luck to be recommended and book an appointment with Dr. Pedro Gutierres over 8 years ago, I have never trusted my dental health nor my family’s to anyone else. It’s very hard to find a dentist who ticks all the boxes and even goes beyond any expectations you may have, from service, sympathy, professionalism, and expertise, etc., 5 stars are not enough to rate him. I was so happy when he opened his own clinic and surrounded himself with the best professionals you can find, I cannot recommend Maida Smiles Dental Clinic enough.
Sofia Gouveia
Maida Smiles Dental Clinic is excellent!! The staff is very friendly, professional and always aiming for the customers best experience! A special thank you to Dr. Pedro Gutierres who is truly amazing. I am absolutely satisfied with the results and highly recommend this great dental clinic!

Dr. Pedro Gutierres is the best Implantologist I have come across. His work is amazing and of very high quality! I would highly recommend him and Maida Smiles to all my friends and family. If you want the perfect smile this is the place to go.
Blossom
“Pedro was so patient and professional throughout my treatment for my implants.. I chose to have my treatment with a local anaesthetic rather than any sedation and have a very bad gag reflex when anything touches the back of my throat. His patience throughout the experience was wonderful, completely putting me at ease and he also gave me a technique to help me in the future. I have seen him for my follow up and fully intend to book an annual visit in 2020. which is no small thing as I live 60 miles away.I can thoroughly recommend him for any treatment.”
Denise Gilbert
I was very nervous to pull my ingrown wisdom tooth. Dr Pedro Guiterres made me feel really comfortable and the job was completed very professionally. It didn’t take long at all and I didn’t feel any pain. I would definitely recommend his service at this practice.
Jihan Daoud
From the day I made my first appointment. The team at Maida smile were amazing. They didn’t treat me like a customer but more like family. They have been great in every step in FINALLY GETTING MY DREAM SMILE from the receptionist to my dentist Pedro Laranjeira I can’t thank you enough and of course Pedro Laranjeira beautiful wife…… they are very professional and understand that I had to change my appointment now and then for work commitments and they were very understand. I will defo recommend them 100% not forgetting how chic the office is
Tracy Mensah
I was very nervous about having a dental implant but was immediately put at ease by Dr Pedro Gutierres. The procedure was explained in full and the care both during and after treatment has been of the highest standard. I received advice on how to look after my implant and have had no problems. I highly recommend.
Dawn Briggs
I had 7 implants installed by Dr Pedro Gutierres, including one which required a bone graft. In my 70 years I’ve had some bad experiences with dental treatment so it takes a lot for me to relax but, from my initial consultation, through to the end of the treatment, I had complete trust in Pedro’s expertise: preparations for the treatment and after-care were extremely thorough and fully explained, the treatment itself was surprisingly endurable (considering what was involved) and the implants have made a major difference to my life. If you are considering implants then I would whole-heartedly and sincerely recommend Pedro for this work.
Russ Hickman
I couldn’t recommend Maida Smiles enough: the care, attention to detail and the way Dentists and Nurses made sure I felt comfortable and safe throughout the treatments was incredible. Dr Pedro explained the treatments in detail to me and I have never felt under pressure to proceed… but I am very glad I did as I am happy and confident to smile again!
Mariana Pinheiro
Highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a friendly and trustworthy practice with an incredibly friendly and patient staff. Dr Pedro has been one of the best dentists I’ve ever had, he made me feel comfortable and were very knowledgeable in explaining every step of what he was doing and answering all of my questions. Amazing thorough the procedure, excellent communication, superb and professional treatment. I hope they keep it this way for a long time.
Joas Souza
Dr Pedro is a very good, confident and experienced professional. I’ve known him for some years now and always felt well cared for, either for small or bigger treatments.The facilities of the clinic are amazing and all the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.”
Nelson Cafruni
I went to different clinics before, and nobody could really convince me until Maida Smiles did. The team here makes you comfortable , shows you different options and different budgets , and doesn't try to make you go only for one plan. I felt that the team was knowledgeable and wanted to help me , so that's why I decided to start
Diogo
I was referred to Dr. Pedro who did such a wonderful job with my teeth. The staff was extremely professional, they put you at ease, and it just made the whole experience easier. I've never looked back since
Theresa
"I told him, 'I want beautiful teeth, beautiful but natural, I don't want fake looking teeth.' Now I smile, I talk... it just makes you more confident. If you wear a beautiful nice suit... you have beautiful teeth, then it's like a perfect."
Louca
"I went to my hygienist a little while ago, and she said to me they were the best implants that she'd ever seen and she would never have known that they weren't my real teeth."
Sharon
Dr. Pedro explained the process of Invisalign to me. It sounded easy, it was quite a quick process, and the end result is my teeth moved back, so I'm quite happy.
Soula
I feel like I've not just developed a professional relationship with my dentist and the staff... they become more like friends as well, because of the kind of compassion and sympathy that they give you during treatment.
Alvin
"After a friend recommended the clinic, I was referred to Dr. Pedro, who did such a wonderful job with my teeth. The staff was extremely professional; they put you at ease, and it just made the whole experience easier. They have more than met my expectations. I have to have a few more implants, and I'm not afraid anymore. Now, finally, I can live again."
Lesley
"After not having a great experience with previous dental treatments, I was desperate for someone that I trusted. I broke a tooth, and even before I saw Dr. Pedro, he reassured me that I was going to be fine. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. It was an amazing experience, from not only Dr. Pedro but also all the staff in the clinic, and I would definitely recommend [them] ".
Mariana
I chose Maida Smiles because of the reviews and a friend who was really happy with the results. The results definitely met my expectations. My expressions are much more smooth than before and it really makes the difference
Carolina
I’m very grateful for the quick and efficient service I received when I needed an emergency appointment. The staff were kind and accommodating, and the dentist provided clear, helpful advice that made a real difference. The whole experience was reassuring. Highly recommend their professionalism and expertise!
Safiya Guled
I am always anxious when having to see the dentist and this was one of my first experiences with Maida Smiles. The dentist, Benedict Harrison was very reassuring and immediately put me at ease. He was quite lucid in his explanations of what had to be done, etcetera, and is making good progress with the ongoing treatment. Also, the rest of the staff were friendly and just plain nice.
John Jacobs
Wow wow Dr Claudia is the best dentist in London, my kid adores her and it is always a pleasant visit. Can’t recommend her enough
Bel Cohn
I am delighted with the results of my replacement veneers.
Dr Benedict Harrison was very good at talking me through the whole process and keeping me informed during the treatment if there were any issues - which there weren’t.
He has a charming demeanour which is an added advantage in a dentist, who I think we all agree are not our favourite people, overall a 5 star experience.
Karen Shepherd
I went to the Maida Smiles Clinic for the first time and had the most wonderful experience! I am dentist phobic but strangely left the place with a big smile on my face (literally!). The receptionist was super kind, Susan was impeccable and very helpful, and I had my appointment with the most amazing dentist Dr Mafalda Vilhena. Couldn’t recommend her enough. She explains the whole procedure and is very rigorous in her work. Congratulations to Dr Pedro Gutierres for creating such an excellent working environment and to all the team. I will be back and bringing my family along and we don’t even live in Maida Vale. Thank you for such an impeccable job on my teeth and for taking my fear of dentists away. Note: they don’t cover NHS, only private bookings or with insurance.
