At Cotteswold House, your implant is designed by two clinicians who each own a different part of the outcome, and who've been working together long enough to know exactly where one's job ends and the other's begins. No generalism. Just dentistry done properly, the first time.

Your information is kept private and never shared.
These are the concerns we hear from patients every day, and the reason we offer a complimentary consultation to talk through your options.
Avoiding photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, or feeling self-conscious in social situations.
Struggling with certain foods, favouring one side of your mouth, or avoiding meals you enjoy.
Noticing differences in how you speak or pronounce certain words since losing or damaging teeth.
Worn or broken teeth can crack further, and gaps allow neighbouring teeth to drift and shift over time.
Every patient's situation is different. At your complimentary consultation, Jess will help you understand which approach makes clinical and practical sense for you, before you commit to anything.
One titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone, topped with a crown designed by Souad to match your surrounding teeth. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. It also preserves the bone beneath it, which a bridge or denture doesn't.
Where two or more adjacent teeth are missing, implants can anchor a fixed bridge, without touching the healthy teeth on either side. A more stable long-term option than a conventional bridge, and far more comfortable than a partial denture.
A full or partial denture secured to implant posts, so it stays firmly in place: no adhesives, no movement when you eat or speak. Implant dentures give you the stability and confidence of fixed teeth, with a more accessible cost than a full arch restoration.
A full arch of teeth, upper or lower, supported by four or six strategically placed implants. A fixed, permanent result that replaces every tooth in an arch without requiring an implant for each one. Planned in detail by Guy and Souad together before any surgery begins.
Before we place anything, we look at why you lost the tooth in the first place.
Most practices treat the gap. We treat the mouth.
The bacteria responsible for gum disease and tooth loss don't disappear on their own. If they're still present when an implant is placed, they will attack it the same way they attacked your natural teeth. It's one of the most common reasons implants fail. It's also entirely avoidable.
The Cotteswold House Way starts with your foundations: your gum health, your bone, your body's ability to heal. We address what's there before we add what's missing. Only when the environment is right do we begin to rebuild.
The result is an implant that has every reason to last.
We assess the full picture: gum health, bone levels, bite, and any existing disease. Not just the gap you want filling. Problems we find here change the treatment plan. That's the point.
If gum disease or harmful bacteria are present, we treat them first. An implant placed into an unhealthy mouth is an implant under threat from day one. We don't take that risk with your treatment or your money.
Where bone volume has reduced (which is common after a tooth has been missing for some time), we'll advise on bone grafting or other preparation if it's needed to give your implant the best possible foundation.
Once your mouth is healthy and your case is fully mapped, digitally, by both Guy and Souad, placement goes ahead with confidence. Nothing is rushed. Everything is ready.
Dental implants are carried out in carefully planned stages, with healing time between each. Here's what the process typically looks like.
A thorough assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite to understand what needs addressing and whether implants are right for you.
Souad and Guy review your case together. The final crown is designed first, so placement serves the restoration, not the other way around. 3D imaging maps your jaw before any treatment begins.
The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone. Sedation is available for nervous patients or longer treatments.
Once healed, your beautiful new permanent tooth or teeth are fitted: natural-looking, durable, and designed to last a lifetime.

Most dental implants are placed by one clinician who plans the case, places the post, and fits the crown. They're the surgeon, the designer, and the quality check. All at once..
At Cotteswold House, we do it differently.
Your implant is planned by Souad Maddi, a cosmetic and complex restorative dentist whose focus is the crown, the bite, and the long-term aesthetic outcome. The placement is carried out by Guy Bailey, an implant surgeon who has been placing implants since 2014, trained across the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland, and is a member of the International Team for Implantology.
They work together from day one. That means the final result is built into the plan before a single incision is made.
It's a more considered approach. More thorough than a single clinician working alone. And it produces better outcomes. That's the Cotteswold House Way.
Souad designs the final restoration first, so Guy's placement serves the crown, not the other way around. That precision at the planning stage is what produces a result that looks natural and lasts.
Using 3D imaging and digital scans, Guy and Souad map the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant before treatment begins. No guesswork. A restoration that fits the first time.
Guy asks: is this placement precise, stable, and safe? Souad asks: does this foundation produce a crown that looks right, functions correctly, and will still be performing in 15 years? Both questions get answered before you sit in the chair.
Guy is Straumann-trained and works exclusively with original Straumann componentry. Not equivalents. Not alternatives.. Souad's restorative work is chosen for longevity. You'll know exactly what you're getting and why it costs what it does.
When your case comes to Cotteswold House, it goes to two clinicians with different roles in the same outcome: a restorative dentist and an implant surgeon, working together from first plan to final crown. Neither makes a significant decision without the other.
Guy graduated in Medicine from University College London in 2004 before completing the renowned three-year dental programme for medical graduates at King's College London. He has undergone implant training in the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland, and has been placing implants since 2014. In 2018, Guy was awarded the Diploma in Dental Implantology from the University of Bristol and is a certified IV sedationist, making treatment as relaxed as possible for nervous patients.
Souad's focus is cosmetic and complex restorative dentistry: what your teeth should look like, how they should function, and how they'll hold up over time. For implant patients, she works alongside Guy at the planning stage, designing the final crown and restoration before any surgery takes place. Her training in fixed and removable restorative techniques means the aesthetic and functional outcome is considered from the very first conversation, not retrofitted at the end.
Most practices treat implant planning and implant placement as one job. We've always seen them as two. Souad approaches your case from the restorative end: what your crown should look like, how your bite needs to work, what the long-term picture is. Guy approaches from the surgical end: placement precision, bone quality, timing, sedation where needed.
For complex cases (multiple teeth, full-arch restoration, significant bone considerations), this means your treatment is planned with both surgical and restorative outcomes in mind before you sit in the chair. For straightforward cases, it means you benefit from that same rigour without paying more for it.
Guy Bailey is clearly a very competent and professional dentist. But more than that he communicates clearly, explaining what he is doing in terms I understand, offering options, and adapting his plan where needed. He's chatty and friendly which makes the process easy and stress free.

Your complimentary consultation is with Jess, our Patient Coordinator, not a sales team. She'll listen to what's changed, what you want back, and what you're not sure about. If implants are the right answer, she'll talk you through what treatment with Guy and Souad actually looks like. No pressure, and no one-size-fits-all recommendation.
