Dental implants offer a fixed, long-term way to replace missing teeth, designed to restore function while creating a natural-looking result that feels at home in your smile.
*Treatment time, number of appointments and fees vary according to individual clinical needs. A personalised plan and full costs will be provided following assessment.
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over time, the surrounding bone heals around the implant, creating a stable foundation for a replacement tooth. Once the implant has integrated, it can support a natural-looking crown. Implants can also be used in carefully planned combinations to replace several missing teeth or support more extensive restorations. Every implant journey begins with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, and available bone to determine whether implant treatment is appropriate for you.
Carefully planned restorations are designed to complement the shape, colour and character of your natural smile.
With good oral hygiene, regular professional care and appropriate maintenance, dental implants can provide a long-term solution for missing teeth.

Dental implants can be an excellent option for replacing one or more missing teeth, but they are not suitable for everyone. Your consultation includes a comprehensive assessment to understand your goals, oral health and whether implant treatment is appropriate for you.
Dental implants can be used in different ways depending on how many teeth are missing, the condition of the remaining teeth and bone, and your individual needs. Following a comprehensive assessment, we’ll explain the appropriate options for you.
An implant can support an individual crown to replace a single missing tooth without relying on the neighbouring teeth for support.
Where several teeth are missing, implants may be used to support individual restorations or an implant-supported bridge, depending on your individual situation.
For patients who have lost, or are facing the loss of, most or all teeth in an arch, implant-supported full-arch solutions may be considered following detailed assessment and planning.
We listen to your concerns, assess your oral health and use appropriate digital imaging to understand your teeth, bite and available bone before creating a personalised treatment plan.
Your implant is carefully positioned according to your treatment plan. Local anaesthetic is normally used, with additional comfort or sedation options discussed where clinically appropriate.
The implant is given time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. Healing time varies from person to person and according to the treatment required.
Once healing is complete, your final crown, bridge or other implant restoration is carefully designed and fitted to restore function and create a natural-looking result.

Most patients experience some temporary tenderness, swelling or bruising following implant placement. This usually settles during the early healing period, and we’ll provide clear personalised aftercare instructions before you leave. Good oral hygiene and ongoing professional maintenance are essential to the long-term health of dental implants.
Implant treatment usually takes place over several stages, with healing time between appointments. The overall timeline varies according to your individual treatment plan, how quickly the implant integrates with the surrounding bone and whether additional procedures such as extraction or bone grafting are required. Following your assessment, we’ll explain the expected stages and likely treatment time for your individual case.
Many adults with one or more missing teeth may be suitable for dental implants, but a detailed assessment is essential.
We’ll assess your teeth, gums, bite, available bone and relevant medical history before recommending treatment. Factors such as gum health, smoking, certain medical conditions and the amount of available bone can affect treatment planning and implant success. If additional treatment is needed before implant placement, we’ll explain this as part of your personalised plan.
Dental implant treatment has a strong clinical track record, but as with any surgical procedure, it carries risks and success cannot be guaranteed. Possible complications include infection, delayed healing, implant failure or loss, gum or bone problems and damage to nearby teeth or structures. Depending on the position of the implant, there can also be risks involving nerves or the sinus.
Your individual risks depend on factors including your anatomy, oral and general health, smoking status and the treatment required. These will be assessed and discussed with you as part of the consent and treatment-planning process before you decide whether to proceed.
Dental implants are not the only way to replace missing teeth, and they may not be the right option for everyone.
Depending on your individual circumstances, alternatives may include a dental bridge, a removable denture, or, in some situations, choosing to leave the space and monitor it.
Where a tooth is still present, preserving and restoring your natural tooth may also be preferable to removing it and replacing it with an implant where this is clinically achievable. We’ll discuss the appropriate options, including their advantages, limitations and likely long-term maintenance, so that you can make an informed decision.
Dental implants are designed as a long-term treatment, but their lifespan varies, and no implant can be guaranteed to last for life. Long-term success depends on factors including oral hygiene, gum and bone health, smoking, general health, bite forces and regular professional maintenance. With good home care and ongoing dental and hygiene reviews, implants can function successfully for many years. The crown or other restoration attached to the implant may require maintenance or replacement over time.
We understand that implant treatment can represent a significant investment. Flexible finance options may be available to help spread the cost of treatment, subject to eligibility, terms and the finance arrangements available at the time. We’ll always provide your full treatment plan and costs before you decide whether to proceed.
