Dental Implants in Barnet,
Planned and Made Under One Roof
Mona Lisa Smiles provides dental implants in Barnet for patients who want a fixed, permanent way to replace missing teeth. An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone that supports a natural looking crown, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence again. Dr Khosro Basirat MSc Implantology leads treatment at our New Barnet practice. We have on-site CT scanning and our own dental laboratory, and we welcome patients from across North London and Hertfordshire.
Dental Implants: New Roots, Not Just New Teeth
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to act as replacement tooth roots. Once the bone has bonded with the post, it gives a firm base for a custom-made [implant crown or bridge] or an [implant-supported denture]. This means one implant can replace a single missing tooth, and several implants can restore a whole arch.
Every dental implant consultation at Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet includes a 3D CBCT scan on our on-site CT scanner. The scan lets Dr Khosro Basirat see your jawbone in detail and plan the exact position of each implant before treatment begins.
Unlike dentures that rest on top of the gums, implants sit within the jaw itself, so your new teeth are held firmly in place for biting and chewing. Your crown is made in our own dental laboratory and shaped to suit the teeth around it, which means fewer trips to separate clinics.
Replace missing teeth in Barnet with dental implants for:
A single missing tooth
A missing front tooth
Several missing teeth
A full arch of teeth
Loose or uncomfortable dentures
At Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet, we use well-researched implant systems with a long clinical track record, so you know exactly what is going into your mouth. Because each implant is anchored in the jawbone, it restores firm biting strength and helps preserve the surrounding bone and gum. A denture or conventional bridge resting on top cannot do this.
Why Replace Missing Teeth Sooner?
Replacing missing teeth protects your jawbone, your bite and your remaining teeth, not just your smile. At Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet, many patients first come to us about the gap they can see. The effects of tooth loss, though, usually go much further than appearance.
When a tooth is lost, the bone beneath it no longer gets stimulation from chewing and gradually shrinks. Over time, this can change the shape of the face and contribute to premature ageing and bone loss after missing teeth. A dental implant sits in the jaw like a natural tooth root, which helps keep the surrounding bone active.
Gaps left untreated can also lead to:
- Difficulty chewing certain foods
- Changes in speech
- Extra strain on your remaining teeth
- Neighbouring teeth drifting into the gap
- An uneven bite
- Feeling self-conscious when you smile
Acting sooner usually means more of your natural bone is still in place for an implant. If some bone has already been lost, Dr Khosro Basirat will check your CT scan to see whether bone augmentation is needed first.

Dental Implants: The Everyday Difference
Are You Suitable for Dental Implants?
Dental implants at Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet suit many adults who have lost one or more teeth. At your dental implant consultation, Dr Khosro Basirat reviews your oral health and medical history, and checks your bone levels on a CT scan. This shows whether implants are right for you.
You may be suitable if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have healthy gums, or have any gum disease treated first
- Keep up good oral hygiene at home
- Have enough jawbone, or can have bone augmentation
- Attend regular check-ups and hygiene visits
Been told you don’t have enough bone? Dental implants with bone loss may still be possible after bone augmentation to rebuild the jawbone. If your gums need attention first, our hygienists can help through treatment for gum disease and periodontitis.
The Dental Implant Procedure in Five Steps
The dental implant procedure at Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet follows five clear stages, from your first scan to your finished tooth. Scanning, planning, making and fitting all happen under one roof at our New Barnet practice.
1
Consultation and CT Scan
Your dental implant consultation includes a full examination and a conversation about your goals. You’ll also have a 3D CBCT scan on our on-site CT scanner to check your bone and gums.
2
Digital Treatment Planning
Dr Khosro Basirat uses your scan to plan the exact position of each implant and the type of tooth it will support, all before treatment begins.
3
Implant Placement
The implant is placed into the jawbone in the position mapped out in your plan, and your comfort is checked at every stage of the appointment.
4
Healing and Bonding
Over the following months, the bone bonds with the implant through a natural process called osseointegration. This gives your new tooth a firm, stable root.
5
Your New Tooth
Your custom crown, bridge or denture is made in our own dental laboratory and fitted to the implant, which restores both the look and function of your smile.
Single Tooth Implants: One Gap, One Fix
A single tooth implant at Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet replaces one missing tooth on its own. It doesn’t need the healthy teeth on either side to be filed down or used for support.
Why patients choose a single implant:
- A crown shaped and shaded to match your own teeth
- Stands on its own, with no support from neighbouring teeth
- Healthy adjacent teeth left untouched
- Firm biting and comfortable chewing
- Designed for long-term stability
Missing a front tooth? A front tooth implant is planned on your CT scan and finished in our own dental laboratory, so the crown suits your smile line. Ask about it at your dental implant consultation.
Missing Several Teeth?
Dental implants at Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet can replace several missing teeth without needing one implant for every tooth. A small number of carefully positioned implants can hold a fixed implant-supported bridge across the gap. This gives you firm, stable teeth with fewer implants, and less surgery and healing time as a result.
Full Arch Implants: Teeth That Stay Put
Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet can restore a full arch with dental implants for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. A small number of implants can anchor an implant-supported denture or a full-arch restoration, chosen after a CT scan of your jaw.
Compared with traditional dentures, implants offer:
- Teeth held firmly in place
- Less rubbing and pressure on the gums
- A stronger bite for everyday foods
- No need for denture adhesives
- More confidence when speaking and laughing
Already wearing dentures that slip? Dr Khosro Basirat can check whether implants could stabilise them, or talk you through our fixed and removable denture options. Patients visit our New Barnet practice from Potters Bar, Cockfosters, Arkley and across Hertfordshire.
Dental Implant Aftercare Made Simple
How long dental implants last depends largely on everyday care, and looking after them is much like caring for your natural teeth. Mona Lisa Smiles in Barnet supports you long after treatment with routine dental check-ups and hygiene visits.
We recommend:
- Brushing twice a day
- Cleaning between your teeth and around implants daily
- Regular hygiene appointments
- Routine check-ups, typically every six months
- Stopping or cutting down on smoking
We have two dental hygienists available every day at our New Barnet practice, so booking hygiene therapy and aftercare appointments is easy. These visits help keep your implants and gums healthy for years to come.
