Dental Implants for Grantham Patients - Permanent Tooth Replacement

Our Stamford practice is just 18 miles from Grantham, making it easily accessible for implant treatment. The journey takes approximately 25 minutes via the A1, making us one of the most convenient specialist implant practices for Grantham residents. Many of our patients appreciate being able to access expert care close to home without traveling to larger cities like Nottingham or Leicester.

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are suitable candidates for dental implants. Factors like gum disease, smoking, and certain medical conditions may need addressing first, but rarely prevent treatment entirely. We offer free consultations where we'll thoroughly assess your suitability using examination and 3D imaging if needed. Even if you've been told you lack sufficient bone, modern bone grafting techniques mean most Grantham patients can still have successful implant treatment.

With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant post typically remains permanently integrated with your jawbone - it becomes part of you. The crown on top may need replacing after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear, similar to how natural teeth sometimes need restoration. Many of our long-term Grantham patients have enjoyed their implants for 20+ years with excellent results.

The implant placement procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during surgery - just some pressure and vibration similar to having a filling. Most Grantham patients tell us the procedure was far more comfortable than they expected - often easier than having a tooth extracted. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and manageable with standard over-the-counter painkillers for a few days. We also offer sedation options if you're particularly anxious.

A single dental implant including the crown typically ranges from £2,200 to £3,000 depending on the complexity of your case. While the initial investment is higher than alternatives like bridges or dentures, implants often prove more economical long-term as they can last a lifetime and don't require replacing adjacent teeth. We offer flexible finance options with 0% interest available to make treatment affordable. You'll receive detailed, transparent pricing at your free consultation with no hidden costs.

If you've experienced bone loss from missing teeth or gum disease, you may still be an excellent candidate for implants. We offer bone grafting procedures to build up the jawbone before implant placement. While this adds time to the process, it allows us to provide stable, long-lasting implants. During your free consultation, we'll use 3D CT scans to assess your bone volume and discuss all your options honestly.

Absolutely! Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch. We offer implant-supported bridges that can replace several teeth without needing an implant for each missing tooth - this is often more cost-effective. For patients missing all their teeth, we provide All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatments that restore a full arch with just four or six strategically placed implants. Many Grantham patients have had multiple implant treatments successfully.

Dental implants offer significant advantages over traditional options. Unlike bridges, they don't require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth for support. Unlike dentures, they're permanently fixed - no slipping, no adhesives, no removal for cleaning. Most importantly, implants preserve your jawbone by stimulating it like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone loss and facial changes that occur with dentures and bridges. Grantham patients consistently tell us implants are the closest thing to having their natural teeth back.
