Find out moreDental implants offer a cutting-edge solution for missing teeth, giving you a strong, secure and highly aesthetic smile you can trust. The implant itself is a titanium post, which is placed into your jawbone to exactly mimic a natural tooth root. As titanium is biocompatible, the implant fuses to the surrounding bone, creating a solid foundation for a custom-made replacement tooth fitted on top.
Dental implants are widely considered to be a superior restorative treatment, enabling you to achieve the appearance and function of natural teeth. No-one will be able to tell your implant is there! Significantly improve your quality of life, sustain your facial structure and make eating and speaking easier - book your consultation today!

We begin your dental implant treatment journey with a detailed consultation with our experienced team. We make sure you are suitable for implants and may take digital x-rays to check your jawbone. We explain the procedure and always give you the chance to ask any questions.
We use digital scans and images to carefully plan the precise positions for your dental implants. A single implant is typically placed in the hole left by your missing tooth, while multiple implants are strategically positioned for best results.
Your implant is placed into your jaw during a short surgical appointment, using local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort. A healing period of around 3-6 months is needed for your implant to fuse with your bone, so we fit a temporary tooth to protect your gum during this time.
When your implant has fully integrated, we fit your highly aesthetic custom-made crown or bridge on top. After some personalised advice, it’s time to start enjoying your new smile!

More about Matt
Dental implants are designed to be a very long-term solution, with the potential to last a lifetime if they are properly looked after. The crown or bridge attached on top of your implant may need to be replaced over time due to natural wear and tear.
Most adults who are in good general and oral health are suitable for dental implants. It is also important to have sufficient jawbone density to hold the implants in place, but this can be improved with a bone graft. We welcome you to book a consultation to discuss how dental implants can work for you.
The overall dental implant cost can vary depending on the complexity of your case and how many implants are required. We give you a personalised quote at your consultation. We offer finance options to help you spread the cost of your treatment, subject to status.
Yes, dental implants are a fantastic option for replacing teeth, and deliver outstanding results for a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth or even a full set. The implant becomes a new tooth root to support a custom-made crown or bridge that blends into your smile.
At our practice in Leyburn, we offer a range of dental implant solutions to suit different needs. This includes single implants, implant-supported bridges for multiple missing teeth, and even full arch restorations like All-on-4 dental implants. We can also use dental implants to stabilise your existing dentures if they have become loose or uncomfortable.
The whole process, from missing teeth to secure fixed replacements, can take several months. The implant surgery is a relatively quick procedure, but the implants themselves need around 3-6 months to heal and fuse before fixed permanent teeth can be placed. The treatment process will be longer if you need a bone graft or other procedure first, but your new smile will be more than worth it in the end.
You may find it easier to talk with dental implants, not harder. Since the implants are securely fused to your jawbone, your new teeth are firmly supported, which can actually make your speech clearer than it was before. Once the gap in your teeth is filled, you should have no trouble speaking at all.
You should clean your dental implants just as you would your natural teeth. While the implants themselves are made from artificial materials and can’t decay, it’s essential to brush and floss regularly to keep the surrounding gum tissue healthy. This simple daily routine will ensure your implants stay problem-free and last for many years.
