The London Centre for Implant and Aesthetic Dentistry

What The London Centre for Implant and Aesthetic Dentistry does

LCIAD is a private specialist dental practice operating from a single location at 28 Wimpole Street in London's W1 medical district. Founded by Dr. Koray Feran on 10 October 2010, the practice delivers comprehensive private dental care with clinical emphasis on dental implants, aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, multidisciplinary restorative dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, bone and tissue regeneration, TMJ/bite disorders, sleep apnoea, and treatment of anxious patients. The clinical team comprises 8 dental surgeons supported by 2 hygienists/therapists, 7 dental nurses, and 3 administrative staff, with claimed cumulative experience exceeding 150 years, including specialists with Harvard and international training. The practice is differentiated by a "Slow Dentistry" philosophy that prioritises extended consultations, Medical History and Dental Questionnaires, and bespoke written treatment reports prepared outside practice hours.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model. The core stream is fee-for-service clinical dentistry with quote-based pricing determined after comprehensive consultation; the practice does not publish a price list and emphasises the value of expertise and consultation depth. A secondary education stream runs through LCIAD Academy, offering in-person CPD courses, one-to-one mentoring, and a remote-learning product called SCULPT — a composite resin masterclass built on 3D scanning and printing of replica tooth models — taught by Dr Shiraz Khan and Curran Patel. A third stream, LCIAD Face, provides non-surgical facial aesthetics and sleep medicine services led by Prof Milvia Di Gioia. Distribution is via direct phone/online booking, professional referrals from other dentists, and content marketing through the LCIAD blog, social channels, and an 8-part educational series on Dentinal Tubules (>3,000 views since December 2021).

LCIAD Ltd is a UK private limited company with no disclosed institutional shareholders, parent company, or external funding rounds. The practice is founder/physician-led and does not pursue traditional consumer advertising; patient acquisition relies on professional referrals, peer reputation, the Wimpole Street address, online reviews (Doctify, Google), and clinical-education visibility through Dr Feran's speaking engagements and the King's College London Koray Feran Prize (established 2014).

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Portman Dental Care: One of the UK's largest networks of private-focused dental practices, with multiple specialist and implant offerings across the country. Comparable to LCIAD as a private-practice consolidator operating in the same specialty mix, but at much greater scale and with corporate infrastructure.
• Mydentist (Integrated Dental Holdings): Largest UK dental chain with hundreds of practices delivering NHS and private general dentistry, orthodontics, and implants. Industry incumbent providing general dental services at scale, broadly comparable to LCIAD's service mix but with mass-market positioning.
• Bupa Dental Care: UK-wide chain of dental practices owned by Bupa, offering general, cosmetic, and specialist treatments including implants. Overlaps with LCIAD's service menu but operates as a broad incumbent across many price points and geographies.

Emerging players

• Dentaprime UK: Implant-focused UK dental chain specialising in full-mouth implant rehabilitation at dedicated centres. Comparable to LCIAD's implant, bone regeneration, and sinus grafting offerings, but operates a dedicated-clinic model at lower price points targeting high-volume implant cases.

Others

• Dentinal Tubules: UK's premier online dental education platform. Directly comparable as the distribution channel through which LCIAD Academy and the 8-part consultation methodology are commercialised, an ecosystem partner rather than a competitor.

Direct peers

• The Harley Street Dental Group: Premium private multi-specialty dental group located in Harley Street, central London, offering implants, aesthetic dentistry, and complex restorative care to a similar high-end W1/W1G catchment. LCIAD's direct analogue in the same west-end premium segment with overlapping specialist treatments.
• Fortune Tower Dental / Marylebone Implant Centre type practices: Implant-focused private practices in the W1/Marylebone corridor offering complex implant and aesthetic dentistry. Directly comparable to LCIAD's core implant and aesthetic dentistry offering within the same London catchment.
• Bow Lane Dental Group: Central London private dental practice providing comprehensive general dentistry, implants, and cosmetic treatments to a discerning city-based patient base. Directly comparable to LCIAD in offering full-service private dental care with specialist clinicians under one roof.
• Queens Gate Dental: High-end private dental practice in Kensington/south-west London offering implants, cosmetic dentistry, and specialist treatments. Comparable to LCIAD in delivering premium multi-specialty private care to an affluent London catchment with similar fee positioning.
• The Dental Surgery (London): Established private dental practice in central London offering general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry with a multi-specialty clinical team. Closely comparable to LCIAD's positioning as a high-end, slow-paced, comprehensive private practice in a prestigious London address.
