Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. They are titanium posts placed into the jawbone, which act as artificial tooth roots. Once fitted, they support crowns, bridges, or full arches of teeth that look and feel completely natural.

Most adults with good general health and sufficient bone in the jaw are suitable for implants. Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone, there are advanced techniques and treatments available that may still make implants possible.

With proper care, dental implants can last decades — often a lifetime. Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like smoking all help extend their lifespan.

Most patients report that the procedure is far more comfortable than expected. With modern anaesthetic and sedation options, any discomfort is kept to a minimum, and recovery is usually straightforward.

The timeline varies depending on your individual case. Some treatments can be completed in a single day (often called “same-day teeth”), while others may take several months to allow for healing and optimal results. Your dentist will explain the best approach for you.

All of our UK partner clinics are fully equipped to carry out surgeries on site, meaning you won’t need to travel long distances for treatment. Our experienced clinicians use the latest techniques to ensure the best possible results — from initial consultation through to your final smile.

At Implantly, we believe in clear and transparent pricing. Our treatments start from £11,995 for a single arch dental implant and from £13,995 for full mouth dental implants (top and bottom jaw).

Initial healing usually takes 1–2 weeks, but the bone integration process (osseointegration) can take 3 months. During this time, you will wear a temporary prosthetic before your permanent one is fitted.

After surgery, stick to soft foods to avoid disturbing the implant site. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods (like nuts, crusty bread, or chewy sweets). As healing progresses, you can gradually return to your normal diet following your clinician’s advice.

Dr. Patryk Cesarz is the lead implantologist at Implantly and one of the UK’s foremost experts in full-arch implant rehabilitation. A graduate of the University of Manchester, a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and holder of an MSc in Advanced Oral Implantology from the University of Barcelona, Dr. Cesarz is widely respected for his expertise.He has worked with national implantology providers such as Evo Dental and 21D, and frequently receives referrals for complex cases from other dentists.

Fully guided surgery uses 3D planning and custom 3D-printed guides to place implants with extreme precision—within 100 microns of their planned position. This ensures improved safety, accuracy, and long-term success. Guided surgery is digitally pre-planned and uses surgical guides. Freehand surgery is based on the surgeon’s expertise. Dr. Cesarz is highly trained in both methods and will choose the best one for your case.

We offer oral sedation (tablet form) and IV sedation. IV sedation is £500 and is ideal for patients who feel anxious about the procedure. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed tablet before your procedure, which reduces anxiety and creates a calm, drowsy state while still allowing you to remain awake and responsive. While under oral sedation, most people feel at ease and often remember little about the procedure itself, making the experience much less stressful.

Yes — many patients with gum disease (also called periodontal disease) can still have dental implants, but treatment needs to be carefully planned. Healthy gums are essential for the long-term success of implants, so we will first assess the condition of your gums and overall oral health.In many cases, we can provide treatment to stabilise gum disease before placing implants. This may include deep cleaning, periodontal therapy, or other specialist care to ensure your gums are healthy enough to support implants. Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that gum disease makes you unsuitable for implants, you may still be a candidate with the right preparation. Our clinicians will create a personalised treatment plan to give you the best chance of long-lasting results.

Being told you don’t have enough bone for implants doesn’t always mean you can’t have treatment. Dental implants need strong, healthy bone to hold them in place, but there are advanced solutions available if bone loss has occurred.At our partner clinics, we offer procedures that make implant treatment possible without the need for bone grafting. Our clinicians will carry out a detailed assessment, often using 3D scans, to determine the best approach for your individual case. Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that you don’t have enough bone, you may still be suitable for full mouth dental implants with the right treatment plan.

Yes — many patients with Type 2 diabetes can successfully have dental implants. However, diabetes can affect healing and the body’s ability to fight infection, which means careful assessment and management are essential.If your diabetes is well-controlled, dental implants can be just as successful as in patients without diabetes. Our clinicians will review your medical history, medications, and blood sugar control to ensure treatment is safe and suitable for you.We work closely with patients who have Type 2 diabetes to create a tailored treatment plan and provide additional support during healing. With the right care, dental implants can be a long-lasting solution, restoring both your smile and your confidence.

We offer two high-quality options for your new teeth: PMMA and zirconia–PMMA hybrid.

-PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate):
PMMA is a strong, lightweight acrylic material often used for temporary and permanent implant restorations. It offers excellent aesthetics, is gentle on the bite, and can be adjusted easily if needed making it a popular choice for many patients.

‍Zirconia–PMMA Hybrid:
Our hybrid option combines a zirconia top with a PMMA base. This design offers the best of both worlds: zirconia provides a beautiful, natural-looking smile with strength and stain resistance, while the PMMA base allows for flexibility, comfort, and reduced pressure on the implants.

No matter which material you choose, you’ll benefit from a smile that looks natural, feels comfortable, and is built to last.

Yes —To give you peace of mind after treatment, we offer two aftercare cover options designed to support the long-term health, stability, and performance of your dental implants.

You can choose to join the Implantly care club, a monthly subscription that includes scheduled bridgework replacement at set intervals, ongoing clinical reviews, priority access to urgent appointments, and lifetime warranty while your membership remains active. Alternatively, our Implantly annual maintenance option provides professional reviews on a pay-as-you-go basis for those who prefer flexibility at a fixed cost of £250 per visit.

You can learn more about our aftercare options by visiting our dedicated aftercare and subscription services page.

Caring for dental implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth — good daily oral hygiene and regular check-ups are key to keeping them healthy for life.

‍Brushing twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste

‍Cleaning between your implants and teeth using water flossers

‍Attending regular check-ups and professional cleanings so we can monitor your implant health

‍Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, which can increase the risk of implant problems

‍Maintaining good overall health, as conditions like uncontrolled diabetes can affect implant success

With the right care, implants can last for decades and often a lifetime.
