Stop hiding your smile.
Start living your life.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that's surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over the weeks following placement, the implant fuses naturally with the bone (through a process called osseointegration) creating a stable, permanent foundation. A custom-made crown is then attached on top, designed to match the shape, shade and feel of your natural teeth. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, functions and feels completely real. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don't rely on surrounding teeth for support and won't slip, shift or need removing at night.

It depends on your individual treatment plan. For our Teeth In A Day patients, the entire process from removing failing teeth to fitting a full arch of new ones happens in a single appointment. For single tooth implants, the process typically involves a consultation, an implant placement appointment, a healing period of several weeks while osseointegration takes place, and a final fitting for your permanent crown. Throughout every stage, you'll have a clear timeline and a dedicated care manager so you always know what's coming next. We don't believe in leaving patients in the dark or stringing treatment out longer than necessary.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is. Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, and IV sedation is available for anyone who feels anxious, keeping you relaxed and completely at ease throughout. You may experience some mild soreness, swelling or tenderness in the days following your procedure, which is entirely normal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. The vast majority of our patients tell us the reality was far less daunting than they expected. Our team's job is to make sure you feel safe, informed and comfortable at every stage, not just in the chair.

With the right care, dental implants can last 25 years or more and for many patients, a lifetime. The titanium implant itself is designed to be a permanent fixture, fusing with your jawbone and preserving the structure of your jaw over time. The crown attached to the implant is crafted from premium ceramic and porcelain for durability as well as aesthetics. Longevity largely comes down to how well you look after them: good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and avoiding smoking all make a significant difference. We'll give you everything you need to protect your investment for the long term.

Yes and for most patients, this is one of the most life-changing parts. Unlike dentures that can slip, restrict your diet or make eating uncomfortable, dental implants are fixed permanently into your jawbone. That means you can eat, chew and bite just as you would with natural teeth, without worry. Steak, apples, crusty bread nothing is off limits. In the immediate period after your procedure, we'll advise you to stick to softer foods while your implants heal, but once fully integrated, your new teeth are built to handle everyday life without compromise.

For the vast majority of patients, absolutely. Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth that modern dentistry can offer they look real, feel real and function the same way. Unlike dentures, they don't slip or need removing. Unlike bridges, they don't rely on damaging surrounding teeth. They preserve your jawbone, protect your facial structure and remove the daily inconvenience of living with missing or failing teeth. When you weigh up the long-term cost against years of confidence, comfort and not having to think twice about smiling most patients tell us it's one of the best decisions they've ever made.

If you're looking to replace a full arch or all of your teeth, Teeth In A Day is widely considered the gold standard. It gives you a complete set of fixed, permanent teeth in a single appointment, no dentures, no prolonged treatment spread across months. Each case is different though, and the right solution depends on your bone density, oral health and personal goals. That's why we start every journey with a thorough consultation and 3D scan, so we can recommend the most effective option for your specific situation.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your treatment and how many implants you need. At Space Dental, single implants, full arch treatments and Teeth In A Day all have clear, transparent pricing discussed at your consultation, no hidden fees. We also offer 0% finance and monthly payment plans so the cost doesn't have to be a barrier. As a general benchmark, Teeth In A Day starts from £11,995 for one jaw and £19,995 for both. We'd always encourage you to compare what's included, not just the headline price.

Missing teeth cause more problems than most people realise. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it starts to deteriorate because it's no longer being stimulated by a tooth root. Over time this can change the shape of your face, cause surrounding teeth to shift, and make future implant treatment more complex. It can also affect your bite, leading to jaw pain and uneven wear on remaining teeth. The sooner missing teeth are addressed, the simpler and more predictable the treatment tends to be.
