Dental Implants for Sleaford Patients - Permanent Tooth Replacement

Many Sleaford patients tell us the 28-mile journey is worthwhile for the expertise and quality of care 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 travel, and the results you'll enjoy for decades make the journey well worth it. The drive takes approximately 35-40 minutes via the A15 and A17.

Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are suitable 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 assess your suitability using clinical examination and 3D imaging if needed. Even if you've been told you lack adequate bone, modern bone grafting techniques mean most Sleaford 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. The crown on top may need replacing after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear, similar to natural teeth. Many of our long-term Sleaford patients have enjoyed their implants for 15-20+ years with excellent results and no complications.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during surgery - just pressure and vibration. Most Sleaford patients are surprised by how comfortable it is - often easier than having a tooth extracted. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter painkillers for a few days. Many patients drive themselves home after treatment. Sedation is available if you're particularly anxious.

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 and don't require damaging adjacent teeth. We offer flexible finance with 0% interest available. You'll receive detailed, transparent pricing at your free consultation with no hidden costs.

Absolutely! Dental 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 Sleaford patients have successfully had multiple implant treatments at our practice.

If you've experienced bone loss, you may still be a 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. We'll use 3D CT scans to assess your bone volume during your free consultation and discuss all your options honestly.

Implants offer significant advantages over traditional options. Unlike bridges, they don't require grinding down 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 roots, preventing bone loss and facial changes. Sleaford patients consistently tell us implants feel like having their natural teeth back.
