Dental Implants in Liverpool & London

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. A titanium implant is placed into the jawbone, like a screw, to act as an artificial tooth root, which can then support a dental crown, bridge or denture. Once healed, dental implants provide a secure, natural-looking replacement that functions just like a natural tooth.

Dental implants are suitable for people who have lost one or more teeth and want a secure, long-term replacement. Your overall oral health, gum health and available bone will all be assessed during your consultation to determine whether implants are suitable for you.

‍

If you have experienced bone loss or have previously been told you're not suitable for implants, there may still be advanced options available, including zygomatic or pterygoid implants.

Dental implants at Dental Excellence start from £1,463 for a single implant, while full sets of implants across both the upper and lower arches start from £12,500. The final cost will depend on the number of implants required and the complexity of your treatment.

During your consultation, we'll provide a personalised treatment plan and explain all costs involved. Flexible finance options are also available.

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last a lifetime with good care and regular dental check-ups. Their lifespan varies between patients and depends on factors including your oral hygiene, gum health, lifestyle and how well the implants are maintained.

Dental implants are placed into the jawbone, where they gradually fuse with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has healed and is securely integrated, a crown, bridge or denture can be attached to restore the missing teeth.

‍

In some straightforward cases, a damaged tooth can be removed and replaced with an implant on the same day. More complex cases may require additional treatment to stabilise your oral health or improve the available bone before an implant can be placed.

The healing time varies depending on the individual case, but the implant typically needs several weeks to fuse with the jawbone before the final restoration can be fitted. Your dentist will monitor your progress and let you know when your implant is ready for the next stage of treatment.

‍

During the healing period, we'll provide temporary teeth where appropriate, so you don't have to live with visible gaps while your implant heals.

Dental implant treatment is carried out using local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable during the procedure. We also offer sedation options where appropriate, which can help make treatment a more relaxed experience for nervous patients.

In some straightforward cases, yes. If you have good bone health and your individual circumstances are suitable, a damaged tooth can sometimes be extracted and replaced with a dental implant on the same day. Your dentist will assess your teeth and bone before determining whether this approach is appropriate.

Full arch dental implants are designed to replace a complete row of upper or lower teeth using a number of strategically placed implants to support a fixed set of replacement teeth. Also known as All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants, they provide a secure alternative to traditional removable dentures.

Yes. Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, several teeth or an entire arch. Depending on your individual needs, implants can support individual crowns, bridges, full arch restorations or dentures.

There are several ways to replace missing teeth, including implant-supported bridges, traditional tooth-supported bridges and removable partial dentures. The most appropriate option will depend on your oral health, the number of teeth you're missing and your individual preferences.

During your consultation, we'll explain all the available options so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

Once complete, dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. The implant itself is a small titanium post hidden beneath the gum, while a bespoke crown, bridge or denture sits above it to recreate the appearance of your natural teeth.

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, clean carefully around the implant and use interdental brushes or floss where recommended by your dentist. Regular dental check-ups and professional hygiene appointments are also important for maintaining the health of your gums and implants.

Yes. Missing teeth or loose dentures can affect the way you speak. Because dental implants provide a secure foundation for replacement teeth, they can help improve speech clarity and confidence compared with loose or poorly fitting dentures.

Replacing missing teeth can restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably while improving the appearance of your smile. Replacing missing teeth can also help maintain the structure of your mouth and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting into the space.

Bone loss does not necessarily mean you cannot have dental implants. Your dentist will assess the amount and quality of bone available during your consultation. Depending on your circumstances, additional treatment may be needed, while advanced implant options such as zygomatic or pterygoid implants may be suitable in some more complex cases.
