Dental Implants for Handforth Patients

A fixed, long-term replacement for missing teeth, planned and placed in-house at Cheadle Dental Clinic. Implants from £1,800, with a free consultation to find out if they are right for you.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed in the jaw to hold a replacement tooth. Once it has healed, a crown is fixed on top, so the new tooth looks, feels and works like a natural one. Implants are an alternative to dentures and bridges for closing a gap.

At Cheadle Dental Clinic every stage is carried out in-house, from your first consultation to the final crown.

Why choose an implant?

• It is fixed in place, so there is nothing to remove at night
• The teeth either side are left untouched, unlike a bridge
• You can eat, speak and smile with confidence
• It helps maintain the bone and the shape of your face where a tooth has been lost
• With good care it is a long-term solution

Your implant treatment, step by step

1. Free consultation. We examine your mouth, discuss your options and answer your questions.
2. X-rays or scans are used to plan the position of the implant, and you receive your written plan and costs.
3. The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. Sedation is available if you are anxious.
4. The implant bonds with the bone. This usually takes a few months.
5. Your new tooth. A custom-made crown is fitted to the implant and matched to your other teeth.
6. We review your implant at regular check-ups and show you how to keep it clean.
