Dental Implants for Lincoln Patients - Permanent Tooth Replacement

Many Lincoln patients tell us the 45-mile journey is absolutely worthwhile for the quality of care and expertise we provide. Dental implants are a significant, long-term investment in your oral health, and choosing the right implant dentist is crucial for successful results. We schedule appointments efficiently to minimize the number of visits needed, and many patients enjoy combining their dental visit with a trip to historic Stamford. The journey from Lincoln takes under an hour via the A15 and A1, and the results last a lifetime.

Typically, you'll need 4-5 visits to our Stamford practice from Lincoln: an initial consultation, the implant placement surgery, possibly a follow-up check, abutment placement, and final crown fitting. We schedule these efficiently to minimize travel. The good news is that between the implant placement and abutment placement (3-6 months), you won't need appointments - the healing happens naturally while you're at home in Lincoln.

Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are suitable for dental implants. Factors like gum disease, smoking, and certain medical conditions may need addressing first. We offer free consultations where we'll assess your suitability using 3D imaging if needed. Even if you've been told you don't have enough bone, modern bone grafting techniques mean most people can still have successful implant treatment. Lincoln patients appreciate our thorough assessment and honest recommendations.

With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant post typically remains permanently integrated with your jawbone. The crown on top may need replacing after 10-15 years due to normal wear, similar to natural teeth. Many of our long-term Lincoln patients have enjoyed their implants for decades. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and ongoing support.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during surgery - just pressure and vibration. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter painkillers. Many Lincoln patients drive themselves home after treatment. We also offer sedation if you're particularly anxious about the procedure.

A single dental implant with crown typically ranges from £2,200 to £3,000 depending on complexity. While higher than alternatives initially, implants often prove more economical long-term as they can last a lifetime. We offer flexible finance with 0% interest available. You'll receive detailed, transparent pricing at your free consultation with no hidden fees. Lincoln patients appreciate our honest, upfront approach to costs.

Yes! Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch. We offer implant-supported bridges for multiple missing teeth, and All-on-4/All-on-6 treatments for full arch restoration. We'll recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution during your consultation. Many Lincoln patients have successfully had multiple implant treatments at our practice.

Unlike bridges, implants don't require damaging healthy adjacent teeth. Unlike dentures, they're permanently fixed - no slipping, adhesives, or removal for cleaning. Most importantly, implants preserve your jawbone by stimulating it like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone loss that occurs with dentures and bridges. Lincoln patients consistently tell us implants are the closest thing to having their natural teeth back.
