Does the implant procedure hurt?

A local anaesthetic blocks pain, so you will feel pressure rather than discomfort during placement. IV sedation is also available. Most people are back at work the next day with only mild soreness eased by ibuprofen.

How long do dental implants last?

Implants use medical-grade titanium that fuses naturally with your jawbone. With good home care and yearly hygienist visits they often last 20 years or more.

What if I don't have enough bone?

Bone often shrinks after extractions, but modern ridge-preserving techniques restore width. Guided bone regeneration starts from £750. We discuss all grafting options and costs before you decide.

How much do dental implants cost?

A single implant with crown starts at £2,750. Full-arch All-on-4 restoration starts from £13,000 per arch. We offer affordable payment plans over 5 years.

Dental Implants - Permanent Teeth That Look and Feel Like Your Own

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a permanent, stable foundation that looks and feels like your natural teeth. At Danbury Dental Care in Essex, our experienced implant team has placed over 1,000 dental implants. Using precise 3D CBCT scanning and guided placement techniques, we ensure predictable, long-lasting results. IV sedation is available for patients who feel anxious about treatment. A single implant with crown starts at £2,750. With proper care and regular hygiene visits, dental implants can last 20+ years — making them one of the most cost-effective long-term solutions for missing teeth.

Permanent Teeth That Feel Like Your Own

Gaps from missing or extracted teeth can dent your self-esteem and limit your food choices. More importantly, they collect plaque and allow surrounding teeth to shift, leading to gum disease and alignment problems. Dental implants solve this by replacing the root itself. The titanium post bonds firmly with your jawbone, offering dependable support for your new tooth. You regain the ability to eat steak, apples and crusty bread without a second thought. The restored bite keeps your cheeks full and your smile balanced, preserving your natural facial structure over time. Patients tell us the real win is renewed confidence — the freedom to talk, laugh and eat in company without worry about dentures slipping or gaps showing.
