Dental Implants

Dental Implants at Spring Hill Dental

Are you embarrassed to smile, or do you suffer from confidence issues because of missing or loose teeth?

Do you find it difficult to eat your favourite foods, enjoy a meal out or bite an apple?

If so, we can help. We offer a Specialist Dental Implant Solution providing you with the highest quality dental care at a competitive price.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are considered a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Our Specialist Restorative dentist, Matthew Jerreat, will fit them directly in your jawbone to create an artificial replacement for the root of your missing tooth.

They can support crowns, bridges, or dentures, to create a very similar look and feel to that of natural teeth. Dental implants can not only help restore your smile and confidence but improve your overall function to help you chew and eat normally

How much do Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of implants can vary depending on the situation clinically but you can expect the cost for a dental implant to be £3000.

We appreciate that the cost can sound expensive, but our ultimate goal is for our patients to have confidence in the care we provide.

Our prices reflect that of seeing a specialist with his extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. We believe it is an investment that will improve quality of life and function which far outweighs the cost long term.

Is there a Finance Option Available?

We offer 0% finance over 10 months. The cost of implants is naturally broken down into amounts over the course of the treatment due to healing periods and different stages, which will be explained in full at consultation.

What can I expect during Implant Surgery? Is it painful?

The implant surgery is done in the dental chair under local anaesthetic so you will experience no pain during the procedure. The majority of our patients tell us that they much prefer it to an extraction! The appointment will last around 1 hour 30 minutes and we ensure you are always comfortable and happy with what is going on. You will be provided with detailed post-op care advice and we are always available if you have any concerns.

How long do Dental Implants take?

Usually, the process can take anywhere between 10 – 20 weeks, depending on complexity and whether extractions are required. An accurate time frame can be given once the assessment has taken place.
