Losing a tooth doesn’t have to mean living with discomfort or gaps in your smile. At our clinic in Walton on the Hill, Tadworth, we provide high-quality tooth implant treatments designed to restore the natural look, feel and function of your teeth. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or need a more extensive solution, our experienced team is here to help with tailored, long-lasting care.

As a trusted implant dentist in Surrey, we’ve supported many patients in rebuilding their smile and confidence through careful planning and skilled treatment. Dental implants are considered the most reliable, secure and natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. They not only improve your appearance but also help preserve jawbone health and bite alignment – things that dentures or bridges can’t always guarantee.

If you're looking for a permanent solution to missing teeth, we’d be happy to assess your suitability and guide you through the process. Our team offers implant consultations in Tadworth and Walton on the Hill, supported by clinical experience, advanced technology, and a calm, respectful approach.

What Is a Tooth Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. It acts as a replacement tooth root and supports a crown (for a single tooth), or a bridge or denture (for multiple teeth). Once the implant integrates with the bone – a process known as osseointegration – it provides a stable, durable foundation that feels very similar to a natural tooth.

Tooth implants are often the preferred option for patients looking for a fixed, low-maintenance alternative to removable dentures or traditional bridges.

Is a Tooth Implant Right for Me?

Dental implants are suitable for most adults who are missing one or more teeth and have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density. Even if you’ve been missing teeth for some time, or have worn dentures, you may still be a candidate – we’ll carry out a full assessment to determine the best course of action.

A good candidate for tooth implants in Tadworth or Walton on the Hill will typically:

• Be in good general and oral health

• Be free from active gum disease

• Not smoke or be willing to stop during healing

• Have sufficient bone in the jaw (or be suitable for bone grafting if not)
  

We’ll always provide a detailed treatment plan with timelines, costs, and any preparatory steps needed to ensure success.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing a tooth implant in Surrey provides several long-term benefits compared to other tooth replacement options:

• Fixed and stable – no movement, slipping or adhesives required

• Preserves jawbone health by stimulating the bone like a natural tooth root

• Improves chewing and speech, particularly compared to dentures

• Protects adjacent teeth, unlike bridges which rely on neighbouring support

• Highly durable – with good care, implants can last many years

• Natural appearance – custom-made crowns blend seamlessly with your smile
  

If you're concerned about the look, feel or impact of missing teeth, an implant may be the most effective and discreet solution.

Types of tooth replacement with implants

Single- and multiple- teeth gaps can be filled with the use of implants. A single tooth replacement is where a crown is placed onto one implant to replace one tooth. Implants can also be used to hold bridges in place, meaning that in some cases three teeth can be replaced from two implants. If there are a number of teeth missing in an area, dentures can be fixed to implants to provide anchorage. Traditional dentures can be uncomfortable and move around without these foundations holding them in.

Prices start from £2500 per single-implant. Implant-retained dentures start from £5500 per arch. This includes 2 implants and the denture.

How is treatment carried out?

Phase 1: Treatment Planning - Thorough assessment of your medical health, oral health, the way your teeth fit together and bone volume will be performed to produce an individualised treatment plan.

Phase 2: Surgical Treatment - A minor surgical procedure is carried out to place titanium fixtures into bone. If bone and/or soft tissue are insufficient, there may also be a need for additional bone or soft tissue grafting procedures.

Phase 3: Restorative Treatment - After integration of the implant fixtures to the bone, ‘new permanent teeth’ will be designed and fabricated to fit over the dental implants.

How long does the treatment take to complete?

It normally takes about four months to a year to complete the entire treatment. This would depend on case complexity as well as the need for additional procedures like bone grafting.  ‘Immediate loading’ implant, where the entire implant treatment is completed within the same day, is possible for a few selected cases.

How do I maintain these implants?

These ‘new teeth’ are maintained in much the same way as normal teeth. Specific brushing and flossing techniques will be taught, as well as regular dental checks on the implants. Good oral hygiene is required to ensure the long-term success of your implants. It is vital to maintain regular hygiene appointments after treatment to prolong the life of the implant.

How long will the implant fixtures stay in the bone?

If the titanium fixtures have successfully integrated to the bone and are properly maintained, they should last for many years. However, just as you would expect conventional crowns, bridges and fillings to need occasional repairs or replacements during the course of their lifetime, your implant-supported teeth may also need similar maintenance.
