Dental implant dentist
Dr Andrew Fennell
BDS
My interest has always been aesthetic dentistry.
A number of years ago this led to membership of the British Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry where I 'woke up' to the aesthetic possibilities of well-placed implants. I am a mentor for the ADI and have completed Ashok Sethi's year course.
For me, it became essential to become involved not just in the restoration of implants but in the surgical placement as well. This way it is possible for me to have direct control over implant position, type and the necessity (or not) for bone augmentation.
These days I am performing grafts most frequently to ensure a satisfactory aesthetic outcome rather than to provide enough bone for physically placing the implant.
Patient Consultations
Initial consultations with the implantologist are free of charge at Winning Smiles. The implantologist will have an informal chat with you and discuss:
- Whether implants are possible for you
- Whether implants are appropriate treatment for you
- A broad outline of costs
- An idea of how long the treatment may take
Occasionally a small x-ray will be taken to preview bone height – there is no charge for these.
Once the free consultation is complete and if you decide to go ahead with your treatment at Winning Smiles the next step would be to book your Implant Assessment and CT scan (where necessary). We have a CT scanner in-house.
Assessment fee from £150
CT scan (if required) £150
The assessment allows us to check bone volume and exact size, plan the treatment and gather the information required for us to write your treatment proposal/report. The assessment includes:
- Any conventional (2D) x-rays
- Impressions for models where necessary
- Photographs
- Treatment proposal/report
- CT scan where necessary

What patients say
'I would like to say a huge thank you for the wonderful front tooth implant you did for me recently..the thought of spending the rest of my life with a front tooth missing was a pretty depressing feeling…but thanks to your knowledge and skill I now have a tooth that fits perfectly with my own.'
'I have had a front tooth and one just to the side done so it was obviously very important that the implants looked good, matched the colour of my other teeth and looked like my own teeth. They do look good, they do match and they do look like I grew them myself! Not only has Andrew worked miracles with my teeth, he has also stopped me being terrified....no mean feat!'
