Read more about Shahrokh hereA dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It’s placed securely into the jawbone, where it naturally bonds over time, creating a strong and stable foundation. Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is fitted on top to restore the visible part of the tooth.
Because implants are fixed in place and designed to match your natural teeth, they look, feel and function just like the real thing. Unlike removable dentures, there’s no plastic or metal on show, and no one will know you have an implant unless you tell them.

We understand that dental implants are an important investment in your smile and wellbeing, which is why we offer a range of flexible payment and finance options to make your treatment more affordable and manageable —helping you spread the cost in a way that best suits your needs.
In the long run, implants often save money while providing a much more comfortable, stable, and natural-looking solution.
Your Peace of Mind is Guaranteed. Our Promise to You:
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. With local anaesthetic, you’ll feel pressure but no pain during surgery. Post-surgery discomfort is typically less than having a tooth extracted and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Some patients opt for treatment with sedation to make the process more comfortable.
Dental implants are designed to last long-term. With proper care and maintenance, they can last up to 15 years or even longer.
Daily brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups are essential. We will provide tailored care advice to help you maintain implant health.
Suitability for implants depends on factors like general health and gum and bone condition. All of this will be assessed during your initial consultation. We find that most people are suitable for dental implants, including some who may have been advised in the past that they can’t have implants.
From consultation to final teeth: 4-6 months typically. Some more complex cases take around 1 year. The actual implant placement surgery is around 1-2 hours. Most people return to work the next day.
Yes. Our implants come with a clinical guarantee of 1 year, subject to regular reviews and following aftercare guidance. At Brightside Dental, we also provide an insurance backed guarantee which we pay for the first year and you will be invited to renew the policy after that for a small fee. This gives you extra peace of mind that you are covered in the event of any future issues.
Yes. The crown or restorations are custom-made to match your natural teeth in shape, size and colour for a seamless result. You will be able to see an approve them before being fitted.
Smoking can increase the risk of complications, but doesn’t mean you can’t have implants. We will assess your individual case and provide guidance if you smoke.
Age isn’t usually a limiting factor. We’ve successfully placed implants in healthy patients from 18 to 85. Your overall health matters more than your age.
Modern techniques like bone grafting can create the foundation needed for implants in most cases. Our 3D imaging shows us exactly what’s possible.
If a missing tooth isn’t replaced, the nearby teeth begin to shift into the gap within just 6 months. This can make chewing more difficult and may even affect your speech.
Over time (2–5 years), the remaining teeth experience extra wear, your bite changes, and your facial structure may alter- sometimes creating a prematurely aged appearance. It could also mean treatment in the future becomes more complex and costly.
Yes. Beyond the physical effects, missing teeth often lead to reduced self-confidence, making social interactions and smiling less comfortable.
Absolutely. In the long term, missing teeth can lead to significant bone loss in the jaw. This not only weakens the jawbone but also increases the likelihood of losing more teeth.
Yes. Gaps in your teeth make chewing less effective, which may cause digestive issues because food isn’t broken down properly before swallowing.
