Dental Implants

A dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing one or more of your missing teeth.

The treatment

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth root. Over the following months the bone naturally bonds to the implant, giving it a strong, stable foundation.

A natural-looking crown, bridge or denture is then attached on top. The result looks, feels and works like your own teeth, helping you eat, speak and smile with confidence. Implants are one of the most reliable, long-lasting ways to replace missing teeth.

Your options

What dental implants can replace

From a single gap to a full set of teeth, implants can be tailored to your needs.

A single tooth

One implant and a crown fill the gap without touching or relying on the healthy teeth either side.

Several teeth

A small number of implants can support a fixed bridge to replace several teeth in a row.

A full arch

A set of implants can secure a full fixed bridge or a stable, non-slip denture for a whole jaw.

Why implants

The benefits of dental implants

Look and feel natural

Carefully matched crowns blend with your own teeth, so most people cannot tell which tooth is the implant.

Eat with confidence

A firm, stable bite lets you enjoy the foods you love, without the movement of a conventional denture.

Protect your other teeth

Unlike a traditional bridge, a single implant does not rely on cutting down the healthy teeth beside it.

Preserve the jawbone

By replacing the tooth root, an implant helps keep the surrounding bone healthy and maintains your facial shape.

Built to last

With good care, implants are a long-term solution and can last many years, often a lifetime.

Easy to care for

No pastes or soaking. You simply brush, clean between your teeth and keep up regular dental visits.

What to expect

Your implant journey, step by step

Free consultation & assessment

Your implant surgeon examines your mouth, discusses your goals and checks the health of your gums and bone, including any scans needed to plan treatment safely.

Your personalised treatment plan

You receive a clear written plan setting out the recommended approach, the number of implants, the timescale and the full cost, with time to ask questions.

Placing the implant

The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone during a straightforward procedure carried out under local anaesthetic, so you stay comfortable throughout.

Healing & integration

Over the next few months the bone bonds securely to the implant. Where needed, a temporary tooth can keep your smile looking complete while it heals.

Fitting your new tooth

Once healing is complete, an impression is taken and your custom crown, bridge or denture is fitted, restoring your smile and your bite.

Reviews & aftercare

We review your implant and show you how to care for it, so it stays healthy and lasts for the long term.

Suitability

Am I suitable for implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are suitable for dental implants. The most important factors are healthy gums, enough jawbone to support the implant and a commitment to good oral hygiene.

If you have lost some bone over time, this does not necessarily rule you out. Our surgeon carries out advanced procedures, including bone grafting and augmentation, to rebuild the area and make implant treatment possible for more patients. The only way to know for certain is a proper assessment, which is exactly what your free consultation is for.

Good candidates usually have

  • One or more missing teeth, or a failing tooth
  • Healthy gums, free from active gum disease
  • Enough jawbone, or suitability for bone grafting
  • Good general health
  • A commitment to cleaning and regular check-ups
  • A preference for a fixed, long-term solution
Looking after your implant

Longevity & aftercare

How long do implants last?

The implant itself is designed to be a permanent, long-term solution and, with good care, can last for many years and often a lifetime. The crown or bridge on top may eventually show normal wear and can be replaced if needed.

Looking after your implant well is the single biggest factor in how long it lasts.

Caring for your implant

  • Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth daily.
  • Keep up regular check-ups and hygienist visits.
  • Avoid smoking, which affects healing and long-term success.
  • Mention any grinding or clenching, as a night guard may help.
  • Report any looseness, soreness or bleeding promptly.
Weighing your options

Implants, bridges or dentures?

All three can replace missing teeth. Implants are the only option that replaces the tooth root, which is why they feel so secure and help protect the bone. Your surgeon will talk you through what suits your situation best.

Common questions

Dental implant FAQs

Does having an implant hurt?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during placement. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is, and any mild soreness afterwards is usually well managed with ordinary pain relief.

How long does the whole process take?

From placement to the final tooth, treatment usually takes a few months, mainly to allow the bone to bond securely to the implant. Your surgeon will give you a clear timeline for your case, and in many cases a temporary tooth keeps your smile complete in the meantime.

Will my implant look natural?

Yes. The crown is custom made and shade matched to your surrounding teeth, so it blends in naturally. Most people cannot tell which tooth is the implant.

What if I have lost bone in my jaw?

Bone loss is common after teeth have been missing for a while, and it does not automatically rule out implants. Procedures such as bone grafting and augmentation can rebuild the area so an implant can be placed. Your surgeon will assess this at your consultation.

How do I look after a dental implant?

You care for it much like a natural tooth: brush twice a day, clean between your teeth, and keep up regular check-ups and hygienist visits. Avoiding smoking and mentioning any teeth grinding also help your implant last.

How much do dental implants cost?

Implant placement is £1,650 and the implant crown is £1,250, and your initial consultation is free. The total depends on your individual case, including any additional procedures. You will always receive a clear written quote before treatment begins.
