From a young age, our Clinical Director, Dr. Prakash Promod, has been captivated by the world of Swiss mechanical watches. As a boy, he would cut out pictures of complicated timepieces made by Patek Philippe and Rolex from magazines, imagining the craftsmanship behind each design. His fascination only grew during his years as a young dentist and medical student, when, despite having little money, he would explore Swiss watch shops in person just to see these incredible creations up close.
Through his study of watches, Dr. Prakash learned the value of using the finest materials and paying meticulous attention to detail – principles that would shape his approach to dentistry. And through his visits to these watch shops, he discovered the power of exceptional customer service, witnessing firsthand how every visitor was treated with care, dignity, and respect, regardless of their ability to make a purchase.
These lessons from the world of Swiss watchmaking (and the principles of precision, quality and craftsmanship that lasts) continue to inspire the high standards of precision and patient care at Alban City Dental & Surgical Centre. Just as Swiss watches are meticulously engineered to perform flawlessly for decades, our Swiss dental implants are designed to provide long-lasting results, matching the durability of your natural teeth when cared for properly. In recognition of our exceptional results, Alban City Dental & Surgical Centre was awarded Best Implant Dentistry Practice in the UK at the Clinical Dentistry Awards 2024.
Swiss watches are crafted to the highest possible standards, and we bring the same philosophy to dental implants. Each implant – a titanium screw placed in the jaw – serves as a durable, biocompatible root for a natural-looking prosthetic tooth, typically made of ceramic or zirconium. Using our state-of-the-art CBCT scanner and digital mouth and face scanners, we can assess your bone quality, structure, and surrounding anatomy before any extraction. This allows us to create a highly detailed and accurate plan, often enabling us to place the implant at the same time as the tooth removal. The result is fewer surgical procedures, reduced treatment time, and a seamless, natural-looking smile that fits perfectly with your existing teeth.
Just as quality materials are non-negotiable in watchmaking, we use premium Swiss implant systems such as Straumann, which are built to last. While high-quality materials come at a cost, we maintain competitive pricing while guaranteeing durability and performance, ensuring your investment serves you for many years.
Just as a Swiss watch offers more than functionality, great dental care is about more than treatment; it’s about how you feel throughout the journey. At Alban City Dental, we recognise that dental care can be a significant investment. That’s why we always recommend what we believe is the very best treatment for your long-term health and smile. At the same time, we are happy to tailor our plans to suit your budget and circumstances. Importantly, we never make assumptions about what a patient can or cannot afford. Instead, we treat everyone with dignity, respect, and transparency, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable, and empowered to make the choice that’s right for you.
With thousands of successful implant procedures and over 80 years of combined experience, our team ensures your implants are built to last. Properly maintained, they should match the longevity of natural teeth, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
From planning and placement to aftercare, our implant procedures reflect Swiss precision, exceptional craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality. Like a fine watch, your dental implants are more than just functional; they’re a lasting investment in your health and smile.
