Could this help?
Could a dental implant be right for me?
A dental implant is a fixture placed in the jaw to support a separately made crown, bridge or denture. Suitability depends on the missing-tooth space, gums, available bone, bite, health and maintenance needs.
You may wish to discuss
- You are missing one or more teeth
- A tooth cannot be predictably repaired
- A bridge or removable denture does not suit your needs
- You want to discuss a more stable denture option
- You have healthy gums or are prepared to treat gum disease first
- You can commit to daily cleaning and ongoing professional care
Implants, bridges or dentures?
There is no single replacement option that suits everyone. We compare the effect on nearby teeth, surgical requirements, treatment time, maintenance, limitations and cost.
- Dental implant — a fixture in the jaw supporting a crown, bridge or denture after healing
- Dental bridge — a fixed replacement supported by neighbouring teeth
- Removable denture — a removable option for one or several missing teeth
Personalised care

An implant is one option—not automatically the best option for every patient. We explain the practical differences before you decide.

Common questions
Questions about dental implants.
Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.
Am I suitable for a dental implant?
Suitability depends on your gums, bone, bite, medical history, smoking status and the space being restored. An examination and appropriate imaging are required.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Local anaesthetic is used during placement. Tenderness and swelling can occur afterwards, and we provide individual aftercare and pain-management guidance.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Timing varies with healing, bone and gum health, and whether additional procedures are needed. The final tooth is usually fitted only after appropriate healing.
How much does a dental implant cost?
Fees depend on the implant site, records, surgery and final crown, bridge or denture. We provide an itemised plan after assessment.
Can dental implants fail?
Yes. Implants can be affected by poor healing, infection, gum inflammation, bone loss, bite forces or technical complications. No lifetime result can be guaranteed.
What alternatives are there to a dental implant?
Depending on the situation, alternatives may include leaving the space, a dental bridge or a removable denture. We explain the benefits and limitations of suitable choices.
