The Gold Standard
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant has fused with the bone — a natural process called osseointegration — a custom-made porcelain crown, bridge or denture is attached to it, creating a permanent, natural-looking replacement tooth.
Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike dentures, they are fixed in place and do not move. Unlike bridges, they do not require neighbouring teeth to be filed down. They look, feel and function like natural teeth — and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
At Dental Clinic London, our experienced GDC-registered dentists place implants in-house using high-quality titanium implant systems, digital X-rays and precise surgical planning. Published success rates for dental implants are approximately 95–98% over 10 years.

Benefits
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer advantages that no other tooth replacement can match.
Permanent Tooth Replacement
Unlike dentures, dental implants are a permanent, fixed solution. The titanium implant fuses with your jawbone and is designed to last a lifetime — there is nothing to remove, no adhesive and no slipping.
Look & Feel Like Natural Teeth
Custom-made porcelain crowns are colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Most people cannot tell the difference between an implant and a real tooth.
Preserve Your Jawbone
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink (resorb). Implants stimulate the bone just like a natural tooth root, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.
No Damage to Other Teeth
Unlike a bridge, implants do not require neighbouring teeth to be filed down. Your healthy teeth are left completely untouched.
Eat Whatever You Like
Implants restore full chewing function — eat steak, apples, nuts and crusty bread with confidence. There are no dietary restrictions once the implant has fully healed.
95–98% Success Rate
Dental implants have one of the highest success rates in medicine. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, they can last a lifetime.
Your Options
Types of Dental Implant Treatment
The right implant solution depends on how many teeth you are missing and your bone quality. Your dentist will recommend the best option after your consultation and X-rays.
Single Tooth Implant
The most common implant procedure. A single titanium implant is placed into the jawbone to replace one missing tooth. After a healing period of 3–6 months (osseointegration), a custom-made porcelain crown is attached to the implant. The result is a permanent, natural-looking tooth that functions exactly like your own.
Implant-Supported Bridge
When you are missing two or more adjacent teeth, an implant-supported bridge avoids the need for individual implants for every missing tooth. Two or more implants are placed to support a fixed bridge of connected crowns. This is more cost-effective and preserves more jawbone than individual implants for each tooth.
Implant-Retained Denture
For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, implant-retained dentures offer a dramatically more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Two to four implants are placed in the jaw and the denture clips securely onto them — eliminating the slipping, clicking and adhesive associated with conventional dentures.
Same-Day Teeth (Immediate Loading)
In suitable cases, a temporary crown or bridge can be attached to the implant on the same day it is placed — so you leave the clinic with teeth. The permanent restoration is fitted after full healing. Suitability depends on bone quality, implant stability and the position of the tooth. Your dentist will advise whether same-day teeth are appropriate for you.
Making the Right Choice
Implants vs Bridge vs Denture
Compare the three main options for replacing missing teeth.
| Feature | Dental Implant | Bridge | Denture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | Lifetime (with care) | 10–15 years | 5–10 years |
| Looks Natural | Excellent | Very good | Good |
| Feels Natural | Yes — like own tooth | Fixed but bulkier | Removable, can move |
| Preserves Bone | Yes | No | No — bone shrinks |
| Affects Other Teeth | No | Yes — teeth filed down | Clasps may affect teeth |
| Surgery Required | Yes (minor) | No | No |
| Treatment Time | 3–6 months | 2–3 weeks | 2–4 weeks |
| Cost (Single Tooth) | From £2,950 | From £2,985 (3 units) | From £795 |
| Success Rate | 95–98% | 90–95% | N/A |
Costs and lifespan are approximate and depend on clinical factors. Your dentist will discuss all options and recommend the most suitable for your situation.
Your Implant Journey
How Dental Implants Work
From consultation to final crown — here is what happens at each stage of dental implant treatment.
Free Short Consultation (15 min)
Your implant journey begins with a free 15-minute short consultation. Meet a dentist, discuss your options and find out if dental implants are right for you — with no cost and no obligation. If you decide to proceed, a new patient examination (£30) with X-rays provides a full clinical assessment and detailed treatment plan with confirmed costs.
Implant Placement (Surgery)
Under local anaesthetic, a small incision is made in the gum and the titanium implant is precisely placed into the jawbone. The gum is closed with stitches. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes per implant. You may receive a temporary tooth to wear during the healing period.
Healing & Osseointegration (3–6 Months)
Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a natural process called osseointegration. This creates an extremely strong foundation for your new tooth. During this time, you can eat and speak normally — the implant is beneath the gum and not visible.
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the top of the implant. This protrudes just above the gum line and will hold your final crown. A short healing period (1–2 weeks) allows the gum to settle around the abutment.
Final Crown Fitting
A custom-made porcelain crown — matched precisely to the colour, shape and size of your natural teeth — is securely fixed onto the abutment. Your dentist checks the bite and makes any final adjustments. The result is a permanent, natural-looking tooth that functions and feels like your own.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth — brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. With good oral hygiene, implants can last a lifetime. We recommend 6-monthly hygiene appointments and annual implant reviews to ensure long-term success.

Long-Term Success
Caring for Your Dental Implants
Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Follow these guidelines to maximise the lifespan of your implant.
Brush Twice Daily
Use a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush to clean around the implant crown, paying attention to the gum line. An interdental brush or water flosser is particularly effective for cleaning around the abutment.
Floss Daily
Use dental floss, interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean between the implant and adjacent teeth. This removes plaque from areas a toothbrush cannot reach and prevents peri-implantitis (gum disease around implants).
Attend Regular Hygiene Appointments
Professional cleaning every 6 months removes calculus build-up around implants that home care cannot. Our hygienists use specialised instruments designed for implant surfaces to avoid scratching the titanium.
Annual Implant Review
An annual X-ray and clinical check of your implant ensures everything remains healthy. Your dentist will check the bone level, gum health, bite and crown condition — catching any issues early.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure and peri-implantitis. If you smoke, quitting is the single most important thing you can do to protect your investment in dental implants.
Protect Against Grinding
If you clench or grind your teeth (bruxism), a custom night guard (Michigan splint) can protect your implant crown from excessive force. Discuss this with your dentist at your consultation.
