DENTAL IMPLANTS

A Permanent Solution to Replace Missing and Damaged Teeth with Dental Implants

Book Your Free Discovery Call

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a permanent and reliable solution for replacing damaged, decayed, broken or missing teeth. At Stella Dental, implants are placed by securing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. This post then supports a carefully crafted porcelain crown or zirconia bridge, restoring both appearance and function in a way that looks and feels natural.

How do dental implants work?

Treatment is carried out using advanced local anaesthetic, with sedation available for patients who feel anxious, ensuring a comfortable and pain free experience. With expert planning, high quality materials and good oral care, dental implants can last between 20 and 30 years, and in many cases, a lifetime.

Whether you require a single dental implant to replace a missing tooth, multi-teeth dental implants to restore several missing teeth, a single arch dental implant using the All-on-4 technique, or full smile dental implants using the All-on-6 approach to restore all teeth in the upper and lower jaws, our multi-award-winning implant clinicians at Stella Dental, recognised among the UK’s best, provide bespoke dental implant treatment tailored to your needs, comfort, and permanent results. 

At Stella Dental, every implant treatment is carefully planned to deliver permanent results, natural aesthetics and renewed confidence in your smile.

Worried About Pain or Suitability? Let’s Make It Clear

Is Dental Implant Treatment Painful?

Dental implant treatment is not painful. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, which fully numbs the treatment area so you should not feel pain, only some pressure.

For patients who feel anxious or are undergoing more complex treatment, sedation options are also available. These help you feel deeply relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure and, in many cases, reduce memory of the treatment.

After the procedure, some mild swelling or discomfort is normal, but this is usually short-lived and easily managed with pain relief. Most patients find the experience far more comfortable than they expected.

Am I eligible for dental implants?

Most adults with missing or damaged teeth may be suitable for dental implants, provided they have healthy gums, sufficient jawbone, and good general health. Factors such as bone density, oral health, medical conditions, and lifestyle habits all play a role in suitability, which is why a full dental assessment is essential. There is no upper age limit, and even clients who smoke, have a history of gum disease, or reduced bone levels may still be eligible following additional treatments or lifestyle changes, such as gum treatment, bone grafting, or smoking reduction.

Benefits of Dental implants

Dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth with a success rate of over 99.98 percent. They preserve jawbone and facial structure, protect surrounding teeth, prevent dental drift, and restore confident chewing and speech. Secure and comfortable, implants eliminate the slipping and maintenance issues of dentures and, with proper care, can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective long-term option that significantly improves overall quality of life and self-esteem.

What are dental implants made of?

Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials designed to safely fuse with the jawbone and provide long-term strength. The implant root is usually titanium or zirconia, the abutment is commonly titanium or ceramic, and the visible crown is custom-made from porcelain, ceramic, or sometimes acrylic. Titanium is the most widely used due to its durability and excellent bone integration, while zirconia is a metal-free, tooth-coloured alternative. All materials are strong, safe for MRI scans, and chosen to closely mimic the look and function of natural teeth.

Our Dental Implant Treatment Process

We follow a comprehensive three-step approach to ensure the best results for your treatment.

1

Initial consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment at your local Stella Dental clinic. This includes a detailed oral examination, advanced imaging where appropriate, and the creation of a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your clinical needs and long-term goals.

2

Treatment procedure

Treatment is carried out under appropriate sedation to ensure your comfort throughout. The implants are placed with precision, and where planned, temporary teeth or bridges are fitted on the same day to restore function and appearance while healing takes place.

3

Final Fit

Once healing is complete, your final restorations are carefully crafted to suit your smile. These custom-made, hand-finished bridges are then fitted, providing a natural look, comfortable function, and a long-term solution designed to last.

Process Clarity

1

Initial Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment. This includes a detailed clinical examination and, where appropriate, 3D CT imaging to assess bone quality, spacing, and bite alignment. From this, a personalised treatment plan is created, designed specifically around your oral health and long-term needs.

2

Preparatory Treatment (If Required)

In some cases, additional preparation may be needed before implant placement. This could include bone grafting to strengthen areas where bone volume is insufficient, or allowing time for healing following tooth extraction. These steps are taken only when they are necessary for long-term stability.

3

Implant Placement

The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available if appropriate. A small opening is made in the gum, and the titanium implant is carefully positioned within the jawbone according to the treatment plan. The area is then closed, and a temporary component may be placed where suitable.

4

Healing and Integration (Typically 3 to 6 Months)

Over the following months, the implant gradually integrates with the jawbone in a natural process known as osseointegration. During this time, the implant is protected to allow secure bonding and long-term strength.

5

Abutment Placement

Once healing is complete, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. This forms the foundation for the final tooth or teeth.

6

Final Restoration

Precise digital scans are taken to create a custom-made crown or bridge that matches your surrounding teeth in shape, colour, and function. Once fitted, the restoration is secured to the implant, completing the process and restoring comfort, confidence, and function.

Without a doubt the best experience I’ve had at a dentist. Dr. Dash was so welcoming, kind and informative. Inside it doesn’t feel/look harsh or clinical but calming and stylish. Every aspect has been thought of to make you feel comfortable, especially as an anxious patient — particular thanks to Chloe for great communication before I came in. I’d definitely recommend Stella Dental without hesitation. 10/10

Dental Implant FAQs

Find answers to common questions about dental implants

Gum disease must be treated and stabilised before dental implants can be placed. Healthy gums are essential for long-term implant success. Once gum health is restored, implants may still be a suitable option following assessment.
Smokers can have dental implants, but smoking increases the risk of implant failure and delayed healing. Reducing or stopping smoking before and after treatment significantly improves success rates.
Many medical conditions, including diabetes, do not automatically rule out implants. As long as conditions are well controlled, implants may still be possible. A full medical assessment will be carried out before treatment.
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. Suitability depends on overall health rather than age. Many older adults successfully receive implants and enjoy long-term benefits.
Bone loss does not necessarily mean implants are not possible. Bone grafting or advanced implant techniques may be used to create a stable foundation. This will be assessed during your consultation at Stella Dental.
Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild jawbone where bone has been lost. Not everyone needs it. Advanced imaging allows us to determine whether grafting is required.
Dental implants have a very high success rate, but failure can occur due to infection, smoking, poor oral hygiene, or medical factors. Careful planning and good aftercare greatly reduce this risk.
Traditional implant treatment can take several months to allow for healing. However, options such as Same Day Dental Implants can significantly shorten treatment time for suitable clients.
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is not painful. Mild discomfort afterwards is normal and usually manageable with standard pain relief.
A titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The area is then allowed to heal and integrate with the bone before the final tooth is fitted.
The number of appointments varies depending on the treatment type. Same Day Dental Implants typically requires fewer visits than traditional dental implant treatment.
With proper care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene are essential.
Soft foods are recommended initially. Most clients return to a normal diet once healing progresses, depending on the treatment type.
In some cases, implants can be placed on the same day as tooth removal. This depends on bone condition and overall oral health.
Suitability depends on bone levels, oral health, and medical history. A detailed assessment and scan will determine whether Same Day Dental Implants is appropriate.
Smile in a Day provides fixed teeth on the same day as implant placement, while traditional implants involve a healing period before teeth are attached.
Full-arch treatments typically use four to six implants per jaw to support a complete set of fixed teeth.
The implants are permanent. The initial teeth fitted on the day are temporary and later replaced with a final long-term restoration.
Once healing is complete, the temporary teeth are replaced with a bespoke, permanent set designed for long-term strength and aesthetics.
Most clients resume normal activities within a few days. Full healing and integration take longer but usually do not interfere with daily life.
Soft foods are recommended initially. Gradual reintroduction of normal foods follows as healing progresses.
Dental implants should be brushed and cleaned like natural teeth. Regular check-ups and professional cleaning are essential.
Most clients return to work within one to two days, depending on the procedure and personal comfort.
Signs may include persistent pain, swelling, bleeding, or loosening of the implant. Any concerns should be addressed promptly.
At Stella Dental, dental implant treatment is tailored to individual needs and budgets, starting with a full dental implant assessment priced at £95.

For clients requiring more extensive treatment, full single-arch dental implants are available from £8,000, and full smile dental implants using an all-on-6 solution start from £16,000.

The implant root is usually titanium or zirconia, the abutment is commonly titanium or ceramic, and the visible crown is custom-made from porcelain, ceramic, or sometimes acrylic. Titanium is the most widely used due to its durability and excellent bone integration, while zirconia is a metal-free, tooth-coloured alternative. All materials are strong, safe for MRI scans, and chosen to closely mimic the look and function of natural teeth.
Dental implants are rarely available on the NHS and usually limited to exceptional medical cases.
Funding is typically restricted to trauma, cancer treatment, or congenital conditions.
Implant treatment involves specialist expertise and materials not routinely covered by NHS funding.
Dental implants abroad, including in Turkey, often appear cheaper upfront. However, the quoted price usually does not include aftercare, follow-up visits, corrective treatment, or long-term maintenance. In the UK, implant costs reflect regulated clinical standards, high-quality materials, experienced clinicians, and comprehensive aftercare.
UK dental implant treatment follows strict clinical regulations, uses certified implant systems, and includes thorough planning, advanced imaging, and long-term aftercare. Costs also cover professional indemnity, hygiene standards, UK-approved materials, and ongoing patient support — all of which protect your long-term oral health.
Some clinics abroad provide acceptable treatment, but standards, training, and regulation vary widely. Patients often travel based on cost rather than verified clinical outcomes. If complications occur once you return to the UK, corrective treatment can be complex, costly, and sometimes irreversible.
Common risks reported by UK dentists include:
  • Poor implant placement or incorrect angulation
  • Inadequate bone assessment before surgery
  • Low-quality or non-traceable implant systems
  • Infections due to limited follow-up care
  • Difficulty finding UK dentists willing to repair failed work
Dental implants are not just cosmetic — they are a medical procedure requiring precision and long-term monitoring.
Most overseas clinics cannot provide in-person aftercare once you return home. UK dentists are not obligated to repair or maintain implants placed abroad, especially if implant systems are unknown or incompatible. This often results in additional costs or, in some cases, implant removal.
UK clinics may assess implant work done abroad, but corrective treatment is not always possible. If the implant system is unfamiliar, poorly placed, or the bone has been compromised, treatment options can be limited. Many patients require complex restorative or surgical intervention.
Not always. In the UK, implants must meet strict regulatory standards and are fully traceable. Some overseas clinics use cheaper or unbranded systems, which can affect longevity, compatibility, and future repairs. Using recognised implant systems ensures parts and expertise are available long term.
Yes. UK implant treatment includes structured aftercare, routine reviews, hygiene support, and monitoring of bone health and implant stability. Dental implants are designed to last decades, and long-term success depends heavily on ongoing professional care.
Often, yes. While overseas treatment may seem cheaper initially, patients frequently face additional costs for corrections, maintenance, or replacement. UK implants are planned for longevity, safety, and predictable outcomes, reducing the risk of costly future intervention.
Choosing UK dental implants means:
  • Regulated clinical standards
  • Experienced implant clinicians
  • High-quality, traceable materials
  • Personalised treatment planning
  • Accessible aftercare and accountability
  • Legal protection and patient safety
Dental implants are a long-term investment in your health - not a short-term cosmetic fix.
Absolutely. A full implant consultation allows you to understand your bone health, suitability, costs, and options before committing. This clarity helps you make a confident, informed decision without pressure.
