    What Are Dental Implants

    The gold standard for missing teeth

    A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. Once placed in your jawbone, it fuses with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a rock-solid foundation for a lifelike ceramic crown.

    Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace the entire tooth — root and all — preserving your jawbone and keeping your face looking natural as you age.

    • Look, feel and function exactly like natural teeth
    • Permanent solution — can last a lifetime with proper care
    • Preserve jawbone and prevent facial collapse
    • No impact on surrounding healthy teeth
    • No adhesives, no removable parts, no daily hassle
    Why Choose Implants

    Life-changing benefits

    Dental implants go far beyond replacing a missing tooth. They restore your quality of life in ways no other treatment can.

    Natural Appearance

    Crafted from high-quality ceramic, your crown is colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. No one will know.

    Bone Preservation

    Without a tooth root, the jawbone begins to shrink within months. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural teeth, preventing this deterioration.

    Eat Whatever You Like

    Implants are anchored firmly in your jaw. Bite into an apple, enjoy a steak — no restrictions, no sliding, no embarrassing moments.

    Permanent & Stable

    Once integrated, your implant won't shift, slip or require adhesives. With proper care, it can last decades or a lifetime.

    Protects Adjacent Teeth

    Traditional bridges grind down healthy neighbouring teeth. Implants stand alone, leaving your other teeth completely untouched.

    Speak with Confidence

    Missing teeth and ill-fitting dentures can alter speech. Implants restore normal pronunciation and eliminate self-consciousness when talking.

    Treatment Options

    Which implant is right for you?

    Whether you're missing one tooth or many, we have a solution tailored to your situation and budget.

    Single dental implant crown

    Single Tooth Implant

    The ideal solution for one missing tooth. A single titanium post topped with a bespoke ceramic crown — indistinguishable from your natural teeth and requiring no alteration of neighbouring teeth.

    Multiple dental implants bridge

    Multiple Teeth Implants

    For two or more adjacent missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge uses two implants to support a three or more tooth bridge — more efficient and cost-effective than individual implants for each gap.

    All-on-4 full arch dental implants

    All-on-4 Full Arch

    Replace an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. Often completed in a single day, All-on-4 delivers a full, fixed smile without the need for bone grafting in most cases.

    Implant retained denture

    Implant-Retained Dentures

    A more affordable full-arch option. Two or more implants act as anchors for a removable denture, eliminating the instability and discomfort of conventional dentures while keeping costs lower.

    Your Journey

    What to expect, step by step

    We make the implant process straightforward, transparent and as comfortable as possible from start to finish.

    01

    First Consultation

    We assess your teeth, gums and bone density with digital X-rays and CBCT scan. We'll explain all options, answer every question and provide a detailed written quote with no surprises.

    30–45 minutes
    02

    Implant Placement

    Under local anaesthetic (you'll feel pressure, not pain), the titanium post is gently placed into your jawbone. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is.

    60–90 minutes
    03

    Osseointegration

    Over the next 2-3 months, the implant fuses with your bone, a natural biological process that creates an incredibly strong, permanent foundation.

    3–6 months healing
    04

    Crown Fitting

    Once healed, your bespoke ceramic crown is attached to the implant. Colour-matched and shaped to perfection, you walk out with a complete, natural smile.

    "Dr May is an exceptional doctor and person. During my first appointment she took the time to make a comprehensive assessment of my condition and explained in details the possible treatments. A week later I had my very first wisdom tooth extraction, which she handled very smoothly and professionally. "

    Most patients are pleasantly surprised — you'll feel pressure during placement but not pain, as the area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic. Any mild discomfort in the days after is easily managed with over-the-counter painkillers. Many patients return to work the same day.
    Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are suitable candidates. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect healing, and we assess each case individually. Even if bone has been lost, a bone graft may make implants possible — we'll discuss this at your free consultation.
    The titanium implant itself can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene. The ceramic crown on top typically lasts 15–20 years before needing replacement. Regular hygiene appointments significantly extend longevity.
    From consultation to final crown, the process typically takes 4–8 months, most of which is the healing period (osseointegration). The actual clinical appointments are short — it's the healing time between them that takes longer.
    In some cases, a temporary crown can be placed on the same day as the implant (immediate loading). This isn't suitable for everyone — it depends on bone quality and density — but we'll assess whether you're a candidate at your consultation.
    Yes — we offer 0% interest-free finance through our trusted partner Tabeo, allowing you to spread the cost over 12 months with no added fees. Longer repayment periods are also available.
