Implants
A small titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, with a crown fixed on top. It doesn't come out and it doesn't rely on the teeth either side.

What an implant actually is
A tiny surgical-grade titanium post placed in the jaw bone, acting as a tooth root. Bone and tissue grow around it, which is what makes it solid enough to carry a crown or support a denture.
Who it suits
People missing one tooth, several teeth, or anyone tired of a denture moving around. You need healthy gums and enough bone — the CBCT scan at your consultation tells us for certain.
Why people choose it over a bridge
The teeth either side are left completely alone, and the implant keeps the bone in that spot working instead of shrinking away.
Which implant system
We place three, and every price below includes the zirconium crown on top:
- MIS implant — from £1,500. A well-established system, and the most affordable of the three.
- Straumann implant — from £2,000. Swiss-made, and one of the most widely used implant systems in the world.
- Nobel Biocare implant — from £2,000. Another long-established premium system, placed the same way.
The surgery is the same whichever you choose. The difference is the manufacturer behind the component that stays in your jaw, which matters years later if a part ever has to be matched or replaced. We will tell you which we would suggest at the consultation, and why.
Common questions
What is a zirconium crown?
The white ceramic tooth that sits on the implant. No metal, so no dark line at the gum, and the shade is matched to the teeth either side. It is included in every implant price here.
Does it hurt?
The placement is done under local anaesthetic, which is free here. Most people compare it to having a filling.
How long do implants last?
Looked after, decades. They need the same brushing, flossing and check-ups as natural teeth.
