Our experienced team offer a complete dental implant service, from single missing teeth to more complex cases such as teeth in a day, including grafting techniques and sedation if required.
We have embraced progressive technology especially when it makes treatments more comfortable and predictable for our patients. We have been using digital scanning technology to overcome issues with traditional impressions for many years. We use 3Shape Trios scanner which has won multiple awards in the field of digital impression solution. It allows us to capture a digital record of your teeth. As well as being precise and an integral part of our digital workflow, it is a comfortable patient experience.
An on-site CBCT scanner, for 3D diagnostic imaging, allows our clinicians to accurately plan your treatment. Our Planmeca CBCT scanner covers the whole dentition making it an excellent option for full arch dental 3D imaging needs.
There are three main parts to dental implant treatment including:
Surgical – Placement of the dental implant.
Healing – Time after surgery to allow implant to integrate with the bone.
Restorative – Fitting of the crown or bridge.
All aspects of your treatment are provided under one roof at our clinic in Belfast by our dedicated team, working in collaboration with our on-site digital laboratory team. This collaborative approach with our on-site digital dental laboratory allows us to deliver a streamlined, comprehensive tailored service for our patients.

Benefits of dental implant treatment:
1. Stability
2. Improved chewing function
3. No restriction on your food choices
4. Increased confidence
5. Natural look
6. Reduces risk of losing further teeth
7. Prevents bone loss which can give an older look
What is a Dental Implant and who is it suitable for?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. After the implant fuses with the bone in the jaw it serves as a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or crown. Dental implants are suitable for individuals who have lost one or more teeth and who have good oral health, sufficient bone density in the jaw, and healthy gums. Your dentist will assess your individual situation following a consultation to determine if implants are suitable for you.
How long does the process take and last?
The entire process can take several months. After the initial placement surgery follows a healing period known as osseointegration, and after that the attachment of the crown, bridge, or denture is then done. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years and evidence shows that they can last longer when individuals continue to visit the dentist as recommended and maintain their oral hygiene as appropriate. Caring for dental implants is like caring for natural teeth and includes regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings.
What is the success rate of Dental Implants?
Dental implants have a success rate of 95% over 10 years and while this is an impressive rate of success for a medical procedure it is important to note that this does not completely guarantee a successful result and there are unfortunately occasions where the implants may not be successful. People who have suffered from gum disease and bone loss have an increased risk of an unsuccessful implant, although some can potentially benefit from bone grafting which is available to alleviate this risk.
What are the advantages of Dental Implants over dentures?
Dental implants offer several advantages over dentures, including stability, improved chewing ability, superior comfort and a more natural look. Dental implants reduce the risk of losing further teeth that occurs when teeth shift after other teeth in the mouth have been lost. Dental implants function much like natural teeth, allowing you to eat a wide range of foods comfortably, meaning you do not need to restrict your diet as you might with removable dentures. Dental implants offer greater confidence as there is no risk of them potentially falling out in a social situation.
Does the Dental Implant placement procedure hurt?
Dental implants are placed gently and under local anaesthetic that should minimise any potential pain. You are advised to take pain medication for several days after the procedure as swelling and discomfort are common for a short period. After care advice is provided which should be followed to avoid any potential pain or complications.

My recent experience at the Marlborough clinic has been very positive. From the outset I was well informed of the process with verbal & written information and my management plan was tailored for me by Mr Nelson. All of the staff I encountered were friendly & approachable. However, Mr Nelson's extensive knowledge & expertise in the field of dental implants instilled a confidence that remained throughout my treatment. The end result is better than I could have hoped for. I have no hesitation in recommending the Marlborough clinic & Mr Nelson to anyone considering dental implants.
I attended a private dermatology appointment with Dr Julia Toland and Dermatology Nurse Clare Mitchell. From the moment I arrived at the clinic, until I left the whole experience was very friendly and professional.They took time to ask me in detail about my history and after an examination recommended what they felt was the most appropriate course of treatment. I couldn't be happier. I honestly wish I'd have gone sooner, as my persistent skin problem was completely resolved after one appointment! I highly recommend dermatology at the Marlborough clinic.
i was very apprehensive but the relaxed professional way i was treated the whole time really made me feel relaxed, i have had a 2500 grafts frontal area transplant, the whole procedure was made easy by the staff, the procedure itself was done so easily the day flew by i was continually re-assured. the results are amazing i have a new hairline after only three months, this has given me renewed confidence i truly feel this was the right decision to go ahead with the operation and i definitely picked the right clinic.
My treatment completed today, 2 implants c/w bridges fitted expertly. A relatively painless experience with great care provided by David and his team in the most pleasant of surroundings, namely Marlborough House.I have no hesitation in recommending David to anyone in need of implants, excellent job, well done. Thanks David..
I had a wonderful experience at Marlborough Clinic and thank David and his team for the high standard of care, attention to detail and expert advice that I received at every stage of my treatment plan.The process started with a review of a troublesome baby tooth which had served me for 48 years. David guided me through the process of having it extracted and replaced. In my case this involved a sinus graft. David provided me with the most professional, considerate and attentive care with clear communication and information about the procedure. Any apprehension I may have felt was further relieved by the friendly and comfortable environment of the Clinic with its state-of-the-art facilities.I am absolutely delighted with my implant and my ability to smile confidently again. I would highly recommend David and his team.

Total professionalism, attention to detail and treatment delivered in a kind and caring way.

After years of wear and tear due to grinding, I needed extensive composite bonding to build up my teeth. I am so glad I got referred to Andrew Wallace and the team at Marlborough Clinic.From the moment I arrived I couldn’t fault any of the care I received. There was a genuine warmth and friendliness from the ladies at reception.Andrew always took time to explain the steps involved in the treatment I needed. His skill was evident in the specialist work he did. It is a fantastic result that gives me more confidence smiling and natural looking teeth. The dental nurse Elaine worked so well with Andrew and put me at ease with her smile and humour. I also attended Tracy, who is a fantastic experienced dental hygienist.My overall experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend Andrew Wallace and the team. I traveled from Dublin and could still claim 20% tax relief on the bonding treatment.Brigid Hennessy
As a patient who was very nervous about the most routine dental appointments, I was very anxious to discover that I required tooth extraction, bone graft and implant procedures.David and his team at Marlborough Clinic ensured that each stage of the process was pain free and I was treated with professional care and respect as they supported me through each appointment.The result is a healthy bone graft, better dental health, and an amazing implant – I look like myself again!A bonus outcome after this excellent care is that I’m now more confident at the dental surgery for routine checkups.I can assure anyone facing similar procedures that they can place their trust in David Nelson and his team at Marlborough Clinic and that you will receive the highest standard of care and treatment.
I had an implant placed years ago in Dublin. I didn't know what type it was but needed my crown replaced. David took an xray and found out exactly what type and what equipment was required. He then expertly removed the crown and my new crown has been fitted - made at his excellent laboratory. A friendly and modest man, gentle hands and very professional, made me feel relaxed and well looked after. The nurses were lovely and the reception team were welcoming and explained things carefully.An excellent experience and could not recommend this clinic any higher!!
I highly recommend Dr David Nelson for anyone considering dental implants. David and his team - Laura and Sandra - were exceptional in their care and professionalism. I am a nervous dental patient and their gentle approach and expertise made me feel comfortable at all times. David took time to explain all the options to me and before I knew it I had my teeth back which are impossible to distinguish from my natural teeth.Additionally, the clinic helped me schedule appointments which was very helpful, making sure that my appointment times worked with my busy schedule.Thank you David and team for your skill and care.
I recently had my wisdom tooth extracted by Callum and he was fantastic.The staff on arrival were also very welcoming and pleasant.I had been in a lot of pain and was luckily able to get an appointment quite quickly.Callum made me feel as comfortable as possible and explained the procedure, what to expect and aftercare.He talked me through the whole procedure as it was happening, advising what he was doing and reassuring me so I able to relax as much as possible.I would highly recommend Marlborough Clinic and thank you for such a good experience.
Excellent treatment. From arrival you are dealt with efficiently with excellent staff. I had an implant procedure and throughout all the stages the procedures were well explained and painless. This practice offering the highest level of service where nothing was a problem.
I had spent a considerable amount of time researching various clinics to have a hair transplant carried out. I decided to book a consultation with Dr McCleery at the clinic. The appointment was everything I had hoped it would be, Dr McCleery was extremely helpful, advising me on what he thought would give me the best end result, I decided there and then I would get the procedure done at Marlborough clinic. The staff in the clinic were amazing right from that first telephone call, throughout the consultation, the procedure itself and the aftercare was second to none. I had a slight accident a few days following the procedure and contacted Dr McCleery for advice, within one hour he met me at the clinic, checked everything over and provided reassurance that all was ok. Dr McCleery went over and above. If you are looking for excellent care, provided in a clean and safe environment with professional, knowledgeable staff I cannot recommend the clinic enough.
My gradual hair loss had become more noticeable and I was keen to explore solutions but had decided I did not want to travel abroad. Whilst researching options for having the treatment completed in Northern Ireland I found Marlborough Clinic Belfast. I could have my consultation and hair transplant procedure completed at this clinic in Belfast. No travel outside of Northern Ireland required. When I contacted the practice I understood it is an RQIA approved clinic for hair transplant treatment and they only carry out one hair transplant per day. I have recently had my FUE hair transplant completed by Dr McCleery. Each step of the process was clearly explained to me and any questions I had were answered. The procedure itself lasted most of the day and I was kept comfortable throughout. The team were both professional and attentive and made me feel at ease. I am looking forward to seeing the results over the upcoming months. I would highly recommend Dr McCleery and the team at Marlborough Clinic Belfast for anyone considering a hair transplant.
Having just substantially completed an extensive course of dental implant treatment in the expert hands of David Nelson and his team, I can't recommend Marlborough Clinic highly enough. After referral by my own dentist for the specialist work, the whole experience has been first class at every stage - arrival at Reception (friendly welcome by Joy and her colleagues), bright airy waiting room, the appointment sessions (careful, professional, courteous treatment by David and his team) and the accompanying checks by Hygienist Tracey.The whole "vibe" in Marlborough Clinic is guaranteed to put even the most nervous of patients at ease, in the confidence that they could not be in better hands.Thank you, Marlborough!
I had been interested in getting a hair transplants for the past few years. After researching the procedure, I decided I wanted to attend a clinic in Northern Ireland. Dr McCleery took my consultation and he was very knowledgeable and informative. The process was thoroughly explained and he was willing to answer any questions I had. Once I decided to proceed with the treatment it was straightforward and fast. My recovery has been smooth, and I am delighted with my results so far. The clinical team were friendly and helpful and ensured I was comfortable throughout. The practice facilities were spotless. I would certainly recommend Marlborough Clinic Belfast and Dr McCleery to anyone thinking of getting a hair transplant.
Excellent is the only word I can use to describe my recent experience at the Marlborough Clinic Belfast. Having recently had a bone graft and implant with Dr David Nelson, I can say that his attention to detail and skill is second to none. Being a nervous patient I was extremely apprehensive about the procedure. My fears proved wholly unfounded. I was expertly guided through the process and I’m delighted with the final result. Thank you to all the team.
I recently had dental implants at Marlborough Clinic and it was incredibly smooth and stress-free. All the team are so friendly, caring and professional and David Nelson is the best of the best. I'm delighted with the results and can't recommend Marlborough Clinic enough.
Highly recommended. Recently had hair transplant with Andrew who along with his team were very professional. Detailed info about procedure was provided in advance and any questions I had answered so I knew exactly what to expect before during and after procedure. Excellent!Staff at reception friendly/helpful also
Dr McCleery did my hair transplant procedure (FUE). He was very gentle and was checking on me from time to time during the procedure to make sure I was okay. The process was very smooth and the staff were very friendly. He gave me post-transplant aftercare to ensure my scalp heals properly. He is easy to access when I had queries about on how to look after my new transplanted hair.I highly recommend him and his team!The clinic itself was very clean and tidy.
I am always nervous about going to the dentist, especially for more major surgery. David and his team made me feel completely at ease from start to finish on the process. I have not experienced the level of professionalism anywhere else, after living in New York for a number of years.When it came to the actual surgery and implant, the standards that David and team hold themselves to is impeccable. I did not feel any discomfort before, during and after surgery. The surgery is clean, calm and organised. It has improved my confidence in keeping my visits up more regularly and on top of teeth health.Thanks to the Marlbourgh clinic for a fantastic service that is worth every penny.
A fantastic dental practice. So clean!! And attention to detail from the moment you walk through the door.
