Cheshire's Leading Dental Implant Expert
Dental Implants and Smile Restoration by Dr Nikhil Oberai
If you have missing teeth, failing teeth, or a smile you have quietly stopped showing people, a permanent, natural-looking solution is almost certainly possible. 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.
Missing or failing teeth change more than your smile. They change how you live.
Most patients I meet have been managing the situation for years. If any of this sounds like your day, that is exactly what the free assessment is for.
Avoiding food you love
Hard, crunchy and chewy foods have quietly come off the menu, and it has cost you more than you let on.
Hiding your smile
Turning away from photos. Covering your mouth when you laugh. Smiling with your lips closed without thinking.
Denture anxiety
The background worry that they might move, click or slip at the worst possible moment.
Bone loss and facial change
Without tooth roots, the jaw slowly shrinks and the face changes with it. Most people are never told.
Being told no
Turned away elsewhere for bone loss, gum disease or complexity. It is rarely as final as it sounded.
Failing work from abroad
Implants placed overseas that are now loose, painful or infected. Correcting this is something I do often.
There is a permanent answer
Here is what life looks like on the other side of it.
The word patients use most often at their final review is free. Free to eat, free to laugh, free to stop thinking about their teeth at all.
Eat anything, freely
Natural chewing power restored. No restrictions, no soft-food workarounds, no anxiety about the plate.
Smile without hiding
Back in the photos. Laughing openly. Confident in every situation, including the exhausting ones.
Completely secure
Fixed permanently. They do not move, slip or shift. You simply forget they are there.
Your jawbone preserved
Implants stimulate the bone like natural roots, protecting your facial structure long term.
A lifetime solution
Brush them like natural teeth. No soaking, no adhesives, no nightly routine.
Spread the cost
0% finance through Tabeo, from as little as £213 per month. Same quality, manageable instalments.

Meet Dr Nikhil Oberai
The dentist other dentists refer their complex cases to
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.
Patients travel to see me because the cases other practices turn away are the cases I take on and because a 99.5% success rate over ten years means they can trust the outcome.

- FOR DENTAL PROFESSIONALS
Referrals and clinical mentorship
I accept complex implant, sinus lift and bone grafting referrals from practices across the North West under a strict patient return guarantee. Your patient stays yours.
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.
Before You Book
Common questions my patients ask me about dental implants
Rarely. A large share of my work is patients told 'no' elsewhere due to bone loss, gum disease or age. A full 3D scan tells the real story, and the options are usually wider than people have been led to believe.
Single implants start from £2,550 and full-arch treatment from £11,500 per arch. The free assessment gives you an exact figure, with 0% finance available through Tabeo from as little as £213 per month.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and comfort is the priority throughout. The most common thing nervous patients tell me afterwards is that it was far easier than they had feared.
Around 45 minutes: a full CT scan, an examination and an honest conversation about what is realistic for you. There is no obligation to proceed and no pressure at any point.
