Meet Dr Adeel Ali, SMILEWELL’s Founder and leading dental implant expert! With decades of experience in full-arch, ‘Teeth in a Day’ dental implants, Dr Ali has transformed countless patients’ smiles. And today, we’re asking him all about this life-changing procedure – so take a break, grab a coffee and dive in!

How does full-arch dental implant treatment work, and what are its benefits?
Completed in one surgical appointment, full-arch dental implants completely rebuild a full mouth of teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. They offer many advantages over traditional dentures in that they don’t move, there’s no need for adhesives, they stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss, and they look and feel just like natural teeth.
Can you walk us through the procedure?
Sure! The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at our dental implant centre in Hertfordshire. During this appointment, we’ll assess your oral health and take 3D digital scans to help us plan your treatment. During the following surgical appointment, any remaining teeth in the arch are removed, and the implants are placed using very strong, durable titanium posts, which act like the tooth’s roots. A temporary prosthesis made in our in-house dental lab attaches to these posts, allowing you to leave our practice with a completed smile on the same day as your surgery. My team will monitor your progress throughout a short healing period, after which your final prosthesis will be fitted.

What would you say to someone who is frightened of having surgical treatment?
My team and I understand that dental surgery can feel daunting. However, the SMILEWELL ‘Teeth in a Day’ approach is considered a minimally invasive surgery designed to be as gentle as possible. Thanks to advanced techniques and precise planning, we deliver a comfortable experience for the patient with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery. It’s fair to say many of our patients are pleasantly surprised by how smooth and pain-free the process actually is.
Why do you advocate for patients to replace their missing teeth with dental implants?
Damaged or missing teeth can inhibit your daily life and cause serious oral health risks if left untreated. Sadly, this patient’s life had been severely affected by badly decayed, painful and missing teeth. With expert full-arch implant treatment and a caring and communicative approach, we’ve created their dream smile in just one surgical appointment. As you can imagine, this patient left my chair with a whole new attitude to life!


And finally, what would you recommend for those looking to start their implant journey?
The best thing you can do if you’re suffering with missing or failing teeth is to seek help from a professional who makes you feel confident in your treatment. A great implant dentist will make you feel empowered in your choice to regain your smile. Luckily, our team at SMILEWELL Dentistry & Implant Centre is dedicated to providing compassionate, personalised care to ensure that you feel supported every step of the way.
