The NUYU Implant Experience: From Consultation to Smile Reveal

What actually happens during a dental implant experience, and how can it feel precise and reassuring from start to finish? At NUYU Dental & Aesthetics in Cheltenham, every step is thoughtfully designed. You can expect advanced digital planning, calm surroundings, and clear guidance at each stage. It feels considered, modern, and personal.

For implant and advanced restorative care, you may see Dr Natalia Agalakova. She is known for meticulous planning, restorative artistry, and has published a clinical case report with Straumann, a global leader in implant systems. 

As part of NUYU’s SmileFast Centre of Excellence, Dr Natalia blends modern digital workflows with a gentle, patient-first approach. The result is a natural-looking smile designed for long-term comfort and confidence.

Your visit begins in our relaxing lounge. Our concierge team greets you, helps you settle in, and offers a coffee from the bar.

We share the plan for your appointment, so you feel prepared and looked after from the start.

You will visit our digital scanning suite for iTero scans and CBCT imaging. These precise 3D views show your teeth, gums, and jaw in detail.

They feed into digital planning that supports accuracy and comfort.

What this means for you:

• Precision. Implant positions are planned in 3D to respect your natural anatomy.

• Predictability. The digital plan reduces surprises on the day.

• Personalisation. Your plan reflects your goals and the unique shape of your smile.

Real-life benefit: you can see what we see on screen, which makes decisions feel easier.

With imaging complete, your clinician completes a full oral health check. We talk through your goals, answer questions, and design a plan together.

If your gums need support or bone levels need attention, we include this in your timeline with clear reasoning.

Your plan might include:

• A single implant to replace one missing tooth

• Multiple implants to restore several teeth

• Preparatory care such as hygiene therapy or gum treatment

• A staged approach with time for healing between steps

Everything is explained in plain language. Confidence comes from understanding.

Great dentistry should feel accessible. NUYU offers a range of finance options to help you spread the cost.

You can expect:

• A transparent outline of your investment and what is included

• Timelines for each phase of care

• Available finance options and how they work

Finance is subject to status. Our team will guide you through the details at your pace.

When it is time to place your implant, the digital plan guides every step. We create a custom guide from your 3D scans and digital planning.
It acts like a roadmap for accurate positioning.

The benefits:

• Targeted positioning that respects bone, gum, and nerve pathways

• A focused appointment designed for comfort

• Strong foundations for a natural, durable result

Depending on your plan, placement may be completed in one visit or over staged appointments. Our Cheltenham team keeps you informed and comfortable throughout.

After placement, the biocompatible titanium foundation naturally fuses with your bone over time. This usually takes a few months.

We may provide a temporary replacement tooth to protect the area and maintain your smile during healing. You will receive simple, everyday guidance for eating, cleaning, and comfort.

When healing is complete, we take precise digital impressions for your final crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration. You can view digital smile previews to explore shape and shade before the fit.

Previews are indicative rather than guaranteed, however they are a valuable guide. Together, we refine the details for a result that looks natural and feels like you.

Many patients choose small enhancements at the smile reveal to create harmony across the whole smile:

• Professional teeth whitening to balance colour

• Facial aesthetic treatments for soft, natural facial balance

Our aesthetic clinicians can advise if enhancements could support your goals. The aim is always natural-looking harmony.

Implants can last for many years with healthy gums and good home care. NUYU offers tailored maintenance to keep everything on track:

• Regular check-ups to review implant health and your bite

• Gentle hygiene visits using modern techniques

• Personalised guidance for at-home cleaning around implants

We will recommend brush types, interdental aids, and simple routines. These small habits make all the difference to keeping your implants strong for years.

• Digital precision from start to finish. Every case begins with iTero and CBCT imaging, planned with digital software for accuracy you can trust.

• Calm, concierge-style experience. From the lounge welcome to clear timelines, we remove friction so you can feel well cared for.

• Clinician excellence. With published case reports and advanced restorative training, Dr Natalia Agalakova is known for meticulous planning and natural results.

• Tailored plans and transparent finance. You will understand your choices, costs, and timeframes before anything begins.

• Aesthetic artistry. Restorations are crafted to complement your facial features, not simply to fill a gap.

Wondering what your first day might feel like?

• Arrive and unwind in our lounge with a coffee

• Meet your clinician and share your goals

• Experience iTero and CBCT scanning in our digital suite

• Review your 3D images and receive your bespoke plan

• Explore finance options with our team

• Leave with a clear timeline and next steps

You leave feeling informed, confident, and in control of your plan.

A dental implant is a small, precision-made titanium post that acts like a new root for your tooth. It naturally integrates with your bone, creating a secure foundation for a custom crown or bridge. Once integrated, it functions like a natural root and is designed to support your smile for many years.

Our patients often tell us the blend of precision and calm stands out. We are passionate about 3D imaging, guided placement, and digital planning. It is how we use them, to reduce uncertainty, enhance comfort, and make decisions together, that makes the experience feel different.

Your care is planned to feel calm, precise, and personal. Every confident smile begins with this level of attention.
