Why have dental implants?
Rediscover your smile with dental implants.
Dental implants are an excellent, lasting solution to fill gaps in your smile, offering a secure alternative to partial dentures – without the visible clasps or metalwork.
But dental implants do more than just restore your smile; they help prevent further bone loss that naturally occurs when a tooth is missing. With a dental implant, you can eat, drink, laugh, and smile confidently, knowing that no one will be able to tell the difference between your implant and a natural tooth.
Choosing a dental implant is a popular, long-term solution to bring back the comfort, function, and beauty of a complete smile. It’s not just about filling a gap – it’s about restoring the confidence to enjoy life fully.
- Natural look and feel – they blend seamlessly with your smile
- Enjoy easy, comfortable eating and chewing
- Speak clearly and confidently
- Protect surrounding teeth and prevent bone loss
- Straightforward procedure for most patients
- Rediscover the confidence to dine out and smile freely

How it works
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth. It functions as an artificial tooth root, crafted from titanium, and is securely placed into your jawbone to provide a solid foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, ensuring they remain stable and reliable.
The goal of a dental implant is to create a strong bond with your jawbone. Titanium is the material of choice because it integrates seamlessly with bone, forming a lasting support for your new teeth.
With the right care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine visits to our clinic will keep them in top condition. Invest in your smile and enjoy the confidence, comfort, and functionality that dental implants provide!
How many teeth can be attached to an implant?
One tooth, several, or a whole smile.
The number of implants required depends on several factors, such as the volume and density of available bone tissue. At Southport Road Dental, we’ll discuss all your options with you in detail, helping you choose the best solution for your smile.
An implant-supported bridge
If you have multiple missing teeth, it's not always necessary to place an implant for each missing tooth. One implant can support a bridge or a partial denture, covering multiple teeth.
A full implant-retained bridge
For a full smile reconstruction, where 10 or more new teeth are needed on either the upper or lower jaw, we generally use a minimum of 5 implants to provide stable support.
From £14,995 · same-day fixed teeth from £20,995
An implant-secured denture
Secure your loose dentures and eat the foods you love again. Dentures are made here, by our in-house clinical dental technician.
Upper (4 implants) from £9,200 · lower (2 implants) £5,500–£9,700

Who can get implants?
Most people with a healthy mouth.
Most people who have a healthy mouth will be suitable for the treatment. There are some cases where you would not be suitable for them or where there would be an increased risk of the treatment failing. These include:
-
Heavy smoking & excessive alcohol intake
This can disrupt the healing of your gums.
-
Gum disease
Any gum disease must be treated before the implant treatment. Gum disease is a major cause of bone loss. A thorough assessment of your gums would take place before treatment begins to ensure the success of the implant.
-
Immunocompromised individuals
Patients who are taking forms of steroids, suffer from an auto-immune disease or who are undergoing radiation treatment.
-
Teeth grinders
A splint that is worn at night can remedy this.
Nervous about treatment?
Built around nervous patients. Sedation if you need it.
Most practices treat nervous patients; this one is built around them. We deal with the fear first, then rebuild what has been lost with careful, diagnosis-led treatment planned to last. 'Pain Free' describes our approach, and we measure it afterwards: 98.6% of 168 patients surveyed reported their treatment was pain-free*.
Many patients tell us they no longer have a dental phobia after treatment with us.
At Southport Road Dental, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, so you feel confident in your treatment decisions. Sedation is available for anyone who needs it, at £422.69.

Additional FAQs
The questions people ask about implants.
Is the Implant Procedure Painful?
The implant procedure is done with local anaesthesia, so you'll feel minimal to no discomfort during treatment. Some soreness afterward is normal, but this is usually managed well with over-the-counter pain relievers. Many patients find the recovery to be easier than they expected.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike other dental restorations, implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth.
How Long Does the Entire Implant Process Take?
The process varies based on individual needs but generally takes several months. After the implant is placed, it takes about 3–6 months for it to fuse with the jawbone. Once fully integrated, the crown, bridge, or denture can be attached.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most people in good health are candidates for implants, but adequate bone density is essential. If you have bone loss, options like bone grafts may make implants possible. We'll assess your case during a consultation to determine the best treatment approach.
How Should I Care for My Implants?
Dental implants should be cared for just like natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and routine dental visits will help keep your implants in excellent condition and support their longevity.
Can Implants Be Done If I've Had Gum Disease?
In many cases, implants are possible after gum disease, but the health of the gum and bone tissue needs to be assessed first. With the right treatment and care, you may still be a candidate for implants.
How much do dental implants cost?
As a guide, a single implant with its crown is £3,495, and a full upper or lower implant-retained bridge is from £14,995. Your exact fee is confirmed in writing in your treatment plan before anything starts. Finance is available through Medenta. Ask us about the options when you receive your treatment plan.
I'm nervous. Can I be sedated?
Yes. Sedation is available for implant treatment, and many of our implant patients are nervous to begin with. Nothing happens until every question is answered. Sedation is £422.69.
