Dental implants are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, topped with a custom crown that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

This treatment is ideal if you

  • Anyone with one or more missing teeth
  • Those unhappy with the fit or feel of removable dentures
  • Patients wanting a permanent, fixed tooth replacement
  • People who want to eat, speak and smile with full confidence again

How it works

01

Assessment and planning

We carry out a thorough examination including X-rays or a 3D scan to assess your bone levels, discuss your options, and plan your implant with precision.

02

Implant placement

The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Most patients report far less discomfort than they expected.

03

Healing and integration

Over the following months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through osseointegration, creating a stable, permanent foundation for your new tooth.

04

Your new tooth

Once fully healed, a custom-made crown is fitted to the implant, precisely matched to your surrounding teeth so the result looks completely natural.

The gold standard for replacing missing teeth

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root. Once placed in the jawbone, it integrates with the bone over several months (a process called osseointegration), creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Benefits of Implants

Implants look and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They help preserve jawbone density, don't require alteration of adjacent teeth, and with proper care, can last a lifetime. They're the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back.

Are You a Candidate?

Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. You'll need adequate jawbone density to support the implant, healthy gums, and commitment to good oral hygiene. We'll assess your suitability during a thorough consultation.

The Implant Process

Getting an implant typically involves several stages over 3-6 months. First, the implant is surgically placed. After a healing period, an abutment is attached, and finally, a custom crown is fitted. While the process takes time, the results are worth the wait.

Common questions

Am I a suitable candidate?+
Most adults in good general health are suitable for implants. You'll need sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums. We assess this thoroughly at your consultation and will always explain all your options.
How long does the whole process take?+
From implant placement to the final crown, the process typically takes 3-6 months. Some cases are faster; others involving bone grafting may take a little longer.
Is the surgery painful?+
We use local anaesthetic throughout, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness and swelling in the days afterwards is normal and manageable with over-the-counter painkillers.
How long do implants last?+
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing after 15-20 years, but the implant itself is designed to be permanent.

Robert Heaven
Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.

Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
Alex Brandon
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Sarah Philbrook
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend

So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
