Dr Shekha Bhuva is a Specialist Periodontist and Implant Surgeon with more than 20 years of experience in dentistry.
The majority of Shekha's practice is now dedicated to implant dentistry. She provides treatment ranging from simple single-tooth replacement through to complex implant rehabilitation and full-arch procedures, with a particular understanding of the gums and bone that are so important to successful implant treatment.
Known for her gentle manner, meticulous approach and honest advice, Shekha takes time to make sure patients understand their treatment and feel comfortable at every stage.
One missing tooth
A single dental implant can replace a missing tooth without relying on the neighbouring teeth for support.
Once restored with a carefully made crown, it can look, feel and function much like a natural tooth.
Several missing teeth
If you are missing several teeth, dental implants can be used to support a bridge or multiple replacement teeth securely.
Treatment is carefully planned around your remaining teeth, gums and available bone to create a strong, natural-looking result.
Full mouth implants
Full arch dental implants can provide a fixed solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or who are struggling with failing teeth or uncomfortable dentures.
Our full arch solutions use a carefully planned number of implants to support a complete arch of replacement teeth.
Advanced implant treatment under one roof
Not every implant case begins with straightforward implant placement. Sometimes additional treatment is needed to create a healthy, stable foundation first.
Because Shekha combines specialist periodontal expertise with extensive experience in implant dentistry, she can provide many of these more advanced procedures as part of your overall treatment plan.
Bone grafting
Following tooth loss, the jawbone can gradually reduce in volume. Where there is not enough healthy bone to predictably support an implant, bone grafting may sometimes be recommended to rebuild or preserve the area.
The type and extent of grafting required varies considerably, and Shekha will explain whether it is necessary after assessing your individual case.
