Maria Hardman – special interest implantology with a reputation for excellence
When it comes to dental implants, few clinicians bring the depth of knowledge, hands-on experience, and international training that Maria Hardman offers. With a career spanning more than 40 years, Maria has become one of the most respected names in UK implant dentistry so much so that patients regularly travel from across the country to seek her care.
Maria graduated from Birmingham University in 1985 and has since held a variety of associate, locum, and principal roles running her own practice since 1990. Her passion for implant dentistry began in 1996, and since then, she has pursued an extraordinary educational path, attending advanced implant courses across Europe and North America. Her commitment to excellence culminated in earning a Master’s degree in Implantology from the prestigious Lille University Medical School in 2004.
Always driven to understand every detail of her craft, Maria also earned a Certificate and Diploma of Honour in Clinical Radiological Anatomy of the Head and Neck in 2006 further enhancing her diagnostic precision and surgical planning.
Maria has successfully completed over 200 full arch immediate loading cases, showcasing not only her technical expertise but also her ability to deliver complex, life changing results efficiently and safely. She has worked extensively with leading implant systems including Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Astra, 3i, Ankylos, Osteocare, Biohorizons, Adin, and Bredent, giving her the versatility to tailor treatment to each patient’s unique needs.
Beyond her clinical practice, Maria has played a major role in shaping the next generation of implant dentists. She was the founder and former president of the Oxford Society of Oral Implantology which was inaugurated in 2004; where she mentored postgraduate dentists in implantology and shared her insights at advanced levels. She has served as a clinical tutor on the Implant Masters Programme at the University of Central Lancashire, as well as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow at the University of Warwick.
Maria says: I’m a dentist with a special interest in dental implants; it is an area that has fascinated me for a long time - and I've been directly involved with dental implants since 1997. I’ve completed many courses in the UK, Europe and the USA, and have learnt from some of the grandfathers of implant dentistry such as Leonard Linkow (who was one of the real pioneers) and Hilt Tatum. I was an honorary clinical teaching fellow at Warwick Medical School at Warwick University on their Implantology Masters Programme and a clinical tutor for the University of Central Lancashire. I now teach implantology to other dentists with Tipton Training as well as mentoring colleagues. I have lectured in New York, Germany, Lithuania, Dubai, Singapore, South Africa, Morocco, Barbados and extensively throughout the UK.
In 2006, Maria realised her vision of designing and creating her ‘perfect practice,’ incorporating purpose built clinical and training facilities and designed to provide world-class care in a calm, welcoming environment. It was with these thoughts in mind that the blueprint for Clinic 95 was first conceived and the rules put in place for a truly state-of-the-art facility, which opened in 2010. Every detail of Clinic 95 reflects her commitment to innovation, safety, and patient comfort.
Maria is a proud member of the British Dental Association, the Association of Dental Implantology, the Joint Dental Faculties of the College of General Dentistry of England, and the Faculty of Dental Surgeons at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
For Maria, dental implants are about more than replacing teeth, they’re about restoring confidence, function, and quality of life. Her combination of skill, experience, and warmth makes her a trusted choice for patients seeking exceptional implant care.
What Maria's patients are saying about her

"The service that I have received from Maria and her wonderful team at Clinic95 has been nothing short of phenomenal. I have had several implants in my upper jaw and cannot describe how confident and safe I felt. Maria is a true perfectionist and has fulfilled her promise of improving my dental flaws. The after service has been brilliant and nothing has been too much for any of the staff there. - Laney Parker |
"Over the past year I have been a patient of Maria Hardman and she has replaced both my bottom and top teeth with ‘fast and fix’ implants. It has been a long journey and whilst I have suffered virtually no pain throughout there have been times when I needed reassurance and advice regarding my treatment. Maria and her wonderful staff have offered this in abundance and at all times have made me feel welcome, important and cared for. The procedure to replace my teeth has seen me face ‘highs and lows’ on the emotional scale but now the work is complete I have no doubt in stating that I have absolutely no regrets. Maria and John have ensured that I have received a first class product under their very professional management." - A.Cole |
"I am so delighted by my implant treatment, and I am thankful for Maria’s kindness and clear explanation at every appointment. I'm so impressed with Maria’s skill and experience at placing implants having seen the results of my husband’s implant treatment. My bridge failed and I knew that an implant would be the next step for me. I can’t wait for the confidence it will give me to smile again. I am thankful for Maria and the team for everything they are doing for me." - E.Gibson |
Ann's dental implant success story
Ann's message for Maria: "Finally, I’d like to say thank you so much. I was so pleased that my dentist recommended Maria. She’s given me the confidence to smile. It’s great! The team are really fantastic. They’ve been so professional, so caring, kind and the aftercare has been superb. All the staff have just been wonderful, they are a really nice bunch, and make you feel at ease, which is lovely."
Watch Ann's dental implant testimony
In all other ways healthy and happy, Ann had invested a lot in her smile. But the time and effort of having repeated work done wasn’t effective; she was left with a series of crowns that simply kept falling out. As someone who really looks after herself, failing teeth weren’t acceptable. Something had to change.

Ben "I’ve been here for few years now and have seen the clinic develop a lot. Maria is very forward thinking in terms of her dentistry."

Maria Hardman:
"I created Clinic 95 so I can use the very best of dental innovation to provide the highest possible standards of dentistry.
In the clinic I designed myself, you’ll find an extraordinary range of dental treatment options.
And yet, I think the most striking thing about Clinic 95 is just how caring and friendly the team is. I think you'll enjoy meeting them."
