- Cheshire’s TOP Dental Implant Dentist
Advanced Dental Implants & Smile Restoration by Dr Nikhil Oberai
If you have missing teeth, failing teeth, or a smile you have quietly stopped showing people, I want you to know that a permanent, natural-looking solution is almost certainly possible. I have spent over a decade helping people across Cheshire and beyond get there, including the cases other practices said were too complex.
OVERVIEW
Dr Nikhil Oberai (BDS, MSc Dental Implantology, GDC No. 150126) is a dental implant expert based in Cheshire, UK. He holds a Master’s Degree in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester and serves as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow at the same institution, where he teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate MSc implant students.
Dr Oberai is the principal dentist at two CQC-regulated private practices in Cheshire: Croft Dental and Implant Practice at 64 Manchester Road, Wilmslow SK9 2JY, and Brunner Court Dental and Implant Practice at 95 Witton Street, Northwich CW9 5DR.
He specialises in dental implants, All-on-4 full arch reconstruction, Smile-in-a-Day procedures, zygomatic implants, bone grafting, and corrective implant treatment including cases referred after failed treatment abroad. He holds a 99.5% implant success rate across more than a decade of specialist practice and is a Key Opinion Leader for Osstem UK.
Dr Oberai accepts patient referrals from dental practices across the North West and offers structured mentorship programmes for implant dentists. A free 3D Smile Assessment is available at both Cheshire practices.
I help people across Cheshire and beyond get their smiles back.
Most tooth replacement options sit on top of the gum. A dental implant goes where the tooth root used to be, into the bone itself. That single difference is why implants preserve your jaw, restore full function, and last a lifetime in a way that dentures and bridges simply cannot match.
It’s why I’ve dedicated my entire career to them.
I’m Dr Nikhil Oberai. I hold a Master’s Degree in Implant Dentistry from the University of Manchester, and I’ve been placing implants at my two Cheshire practices for over a decade. If you have a missing tooth, failing teeth, or dentures that don’t feel right, your first appointment with me is free, and there’s no pressure to go any further until you’re ready.

- Real Patient Results
Thousands of Smiles Transformed
Missing or failing teeth change more than your smile. They change how you live.
What Patients Are Living With
- Avoiding food you love - hard, crunchy or chewy foods become off-limits with missing teeth or loose dentures
- Hiding your smile - turning away from photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, never smiling openly
- Denture anxiety - the constant fear of dentures slipping during a meal, a meeting, or a conversation
- Bone loss and facial ageing - without tooth roots stimulating the jawbone, the face begins to change shape over time
- Being told “no” turned away by other practices due to low bone density, gum disease, or complexity
- Failed treatment abroad - implants placed overseas that are now failing or causing pain
Life After Dental Implants
- Eat anything, freely - 100% of your natural chewing power restored. No restrictions, no anxiety
- Smile without hiding - get back in photos, laugh openly, speak with confidence in every situation
- Completely secure - implants are fixed permanently. They do not move, slip, or shift under any circumstances
- Preserve your jawbone - implants stimulate the bone just like natural roots, preventing loss and facial changes
- Permanent, lifetime solution - brush them like natural teeth. No soaking, no adhesives, no maintenance routine
- Spread the cost interest-free - 0% finance through Tabeo. Same quality, same outcome, paid in manageable instalments
- TREATMENT PATHWAYS
What we Offer
From a single missing tooth to a complete full-arch restoration. Select any treatment to learn more about what’s involved and what it means for your quality of life.
The gold standard for tooth replacement. A titanium post is placed directly into the jawbone, fusing with bone over 6–12 weeks before a custom crown is fitted on top. The result looks, functions, and feels identical to a natural tooth.
- Starting from £2,550
- Treatment time 3–6 months
Replace a single missing tooth without grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. One titanium implant, one custom crown, indistinguishable from your surrounding natural teeth.
- Starting from £2,550
- Appoinments: 2 - 3 visits
An implant-supported bridge can replace multiple teeth using just two or three implants, preserving bone and avoiding removable partial dentures entirely.
- Starting from £5,900
- Treatment time: 3 - 5 months
For patients who have lost all or most of their teeth. A full set of implant-supported fixed teeth, upper arch, lower arch, or both, that look natural, feel permanent, and never leave your mouth.
- Starting from £11,500
- Finance 0% via Tabeo
A complete arch of fixed teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants. Frequently completed in a single day. Dr Nik’s All-on-4 cases include complex bone-loss patients typically turned away elsewhere.
- Starting from £11,500 / arch
- Treatment 1 day procedure
A full aesthetic planning process considering facial proportions, gum line, tooth shape, and colour to design a smile that is natural and uniquely yours. Often combined with implants, veneers, or whitening.
- Design fee From £150
- Consultation Free 3D Assessment
Fixing failed implants — whether placed abroad or at another UK practice. Dr Nik regularly corrects cases involving poorly placed implants, infection, nerve issues, or prosthetic failures. Patients travel from across the UK for this service.
- Free assessment 3D scan included Speciality
- Complex correction
When jawbone volume has been lost, bone grafting rebuilds the foundation required for implant placement. Dr Nik also uses sinus lifts and pterygoid implants to reduce or eliminate the need for grafting entirely.
- Healing time 3–6 months
- Often combined with Implant placement
Carried out under local anaesthetic, with patient comfort as the priority. Where possible, Dr Nik plans implant placement at the same appointment, reducing total visits and starting the restoration process immediately.
- Duration 30–60 minutes
- Follow-up Implant planning
Implant-retained dentures click securely onto two to four implants, eliminating movement and adhesives entirely, while remaining removable at night. The best of both worlds for patients who want security with flexibility.
- Starting from £5,000
- Implants needed 2–4 per arch

- FOR DENTAL PROFESSIONALS
If you are a dentist, there are two ways I can help you.
The first is patient referrals. If you have a complex implant case, bone loss, sinus involvement, failed treatment, or a patient who simply needs more than straightforward implant placement, I accept referrals under a strict patient return guarantee. Your patient comes back to you for all ongoing care.
The second is mentorship. I run structured, one-to-one live patient mentorship programmes for dentists who are serious about building their implant skills. Hands-on, clinically supervised, and built around the cases you actually want to place.
I have mentored clinicians at every stage of their implant journey. If this is something you are thinking about, I would love to have a conversation.
