A Long Term Dental Solution

Dental implants are considered one of the most effective long-term solutions for missing teeth. Designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth, implants are securely placed into the jawbone and topped with custom restorations to create a natural-looking result.

Whether you are missing a single tooth, multiple teeth or require a full arch restoration, our experienced implant team will guide you through every stage of treatment with personalised care and attention.

We understand that every patient is different, which is why we take the time to assess your oral health, discuss your goals and create a tailored treatment plan designed around your needs and lifestyle.

Single Dental Implants

Single dental implants are ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting neighbouring healthy teeth. A titanium implant is placed into the jawbone and restored with a custom-made dental crown designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth. Single implants provide a stable, long-lasting and highly aesthetic solution for individual tooth loss.

Multiple Dental Implants

For patients missing several teeth, multiple dental implants can be used to support individual crowns or implant-supported bridges. This treatment helps restore both appearance and function while avoiding the need to place excessive pressure on surrounding natural teeth. Multiple implants provide excellent stability and a natural feel when eating and speaking.

Denture Implants

Implant retained dentures, sometimes referred to as denture implants, combine traditional dentures with the added stability of dental implants. The dentures securely attach to implants placed within the jaw, helping to reduce movement, slipping and discomfort. This treatment can significantly improve comfort, confidence and overall quality of life for denture wearers.

All On 4 Dental Implants

All On 4 dental implants are designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth using four strategically placed implants. This treatment offers a secure alternative to traditional dentures and can often provide a full fixed smile with fewer implants required. All On 4 is popular with patients looking for improved comfort, stability and confidence.

All On 6 Dental Implants

All On 6 dental implants use six implants to support a full arch restoration, offering additional stability and support where suitable. This option may be recommended for patients requiring enhanced strength and long-term durability. All On 6 treatment can restore full chewing function while creating a natural-looking smile.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made from titanium, which are placed directly into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone to create a strong and stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures.

Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed securely in place and designed to function much like natural teeth. This makes them a popular option for patients looking for a long-term, reliable solution for tooth loss.

Dental implants can help restore chewing ability, improve speech and maintain facial structure by preventing bone loss in the jaw. They are also highly aesthetic, with restorations carefully matched to the colour and shape of your existing teeth for a natural appearance.

Treatment is carefully planned using detailed examinations and imaging to ensure implants are placed accurately and safely. Our team will always discuss your suitability for treatment and explain the options available to you before proceeding.

What to expect from dental implant treatment

Your dental implant journey begins with an initial consultation, where we assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine whether implants are the right option for you. This may include digital scans or X-rays to evaluate the condition of the jawbone and surrounding structures.

Once treatment has been planned, the implant is carefully placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Healing time varies between patients, but the implant will gradually fuse with the bone over the following months to create a stable foundation.

After healing, a custom-made restoration such as a crown, bridge or denture is attached to complete your new smile. Throughout the process, our team will provide clear guidance, support and aftercare advice to help ensure the best possible outcome.

Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the process feels and how significantly implants improve their confidence and day-to-day quality of life.

This is the most professional (and plush!) dentistry surgery i have ever been to! They have an array of ultra-modern scanning and plotting equipment and the ability to really be able to show you what’s going on.

I then got great long-term planning and referrals to start a complicated treatment and implants plan. I couldn’t be happier, trust the advice given utterly and feel like I am in very safe hands. A very different experience to what I am used to.

Well deserved winners of Practice of The Year. Thank you to all the team.

Dental Implant FAQs

Here are some answers to the most common questions we get asked. Our dental team would be happy to answer any questions you have during your appointment.

Are dental implants painful?

Dental implant treatment is typically carried out under local anaesthetic, making the procedure comfortable for most patients. Some mild soreness or swelling afterwards is normal, but this usually settles within a few days and can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Many patients are surprised by how straightforward the treatment feels.

Are dental implants permanent?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implants can last for many years and often decades.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes, dental implants are considered a safe and well-established treatment for replacing missing teeth. Modern implant dentistry is supported by extensive clinical research and long-term success rates when treatment is carefully planned and maintained properly.

Can dental implants cause headaches?

Dental implants themselves should not normally cause headaches. Some temporary discomfort can occur after treatment while healing takes place, but ongoing headaches are uncommon. If patients experience unusual symptoms after treatment, our team will always be available to provide support and advice.

Can smokers get dental implants?

Smokers can still be suitable for dental implants, although smoking can increase the risk of complications and affect healing. Reducing or stopping smoking during the healing process can help improve the chances of long-term implant success.

Can you get dental implants on the NHS?

Dental implants are generally considered a private dental treatment and are not commonly available on the NHS. In some exceptional medical circumstances, NHS implant treatment may be offered, but most patients choose to have dental implants carried out privately for a wider range of treatment options and flexibility.

Can you have dental implants with gum disease?

Patients with gum disease may still be able to have dental implants, although it is important to treat and stabilise the gum disease beforehand. Healthy gums and supporting bone are essential for the long-term success of dental implant treatment.

Can you have dental implants with receding gums?

In many cases, patients with receding gums can still be suitable for dental implants. However, careful planning is important to ensure the implants are placed correctly and achieve a natural-looking result. Our team will assess your gums and discuss the most suitable options during your consultation.

Does dental implant treatment hurt?

The implant placement procedure is typically carried out under local anaesthetic, making treatment comfortable for most patients. Some mild soreness or swelling afterwards is normal, but this usually settles quickly.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution and can often last for decades when properly cared for. Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and maintaining healthy gums all play an important role in the long-term success of dental implants.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implant treatment depends on the type of treatment required and the complexity of the case. Factors such as the number of implants needed and whether additional procedures are required can all affect pricing. Following your consultation, we will provide a personalised treatment plan with a full breakdown of costs. In general, dental implants start at around £3,400.00.

Which areas do you offer dental implant treatment in?

Dentistry on the Groves provides dental implant treatment for patients throughout Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Patients regularly visit us from areas including Winton, Moordown, Charminster, Southbourne, Boscombe, Westbourne, Branksome, Littledown, Muscliff, Northbourne, Canford Heath and the surrounding Dorset areas.

Who can benefit from dental implants?

Dental implants can be suitable for patients missing a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full arch of teeth. They are also commonly recommended for patients struggling with loose dentures or uncomfortable gaps in their smile. Dental implants can improve confidence, chewing ability and overall oral function.

Who may not be suitable for dental implants?

Many people are suitable candidates for dental implants, but factors such as bone density, gum health and general health can influence treatment suitability. Smoking, untreated gum disease and certain medical conditions may affect healing and implant success rates. During your consultation, our team will carry out a full assessment to determine whether dental implants are appropriate for you.

Is there a link between gum disease and diabetes, cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s disease?

Increasingly, scientific evidence links poor oral health—particularly gum disease—to broader systemic conditions. Research shows significant associations between untreated periodontal disease and an elevated risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even Alzheimer’s disease. By caring for your gums today, you are investing not only in a healthy mouth but in your overall wellness for years to come.
