Dental Implants in Basingstoke
Losing a tooth doesn’t just affect your appearance - it can also impact how you eat, speak and feel day to day. We understand how important it is to restore your smile in a way that feels natural, looks great, and lasts for years to come. That’s why dental implants are one of the most trusted and popular treatments we provide here in our Basingstoke clinic.
Whether you've lost a single tooth, several teeth, or need full-arch restoration, we take a considered and personalised approach to every implant case. Our patients often come to us after struggling with uncomfortable dentures or gaps they’re self-conscious about. With implants, we're able to offer a fixed, long-term solution that doesn’t just replace teeth - it rebuilds confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed into your jawbone where a natural tooth root once sat. Over time, the bone integrates with the implant - a process called osseointegration - creating a stable base for a crown, bridge, or denture to be securely attached.
This approach means you’re not relying on neighbouring teeth for support, which helps preserve the rest of your smile. The result is a fixed solution that looks incredibly natural and performs just like a real tooth. Implants can be used to replace individual teeth or to support more complex restorations such as full rows of teeth on just a few posts.
We work with trusted implant systems and always begin with a detailed consultation and digital imaging. This allows us to assess bone density, gum health and identify the best approach for your individual case. The process is staged over several appointments, and we’ll talk you through every step, so you know what to expect.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, and with good reason. Here’s what makes them such a worthwhile choice:
Permanent and secure
Once placed and healed, implants provide a fixed and stable solution. They won’t slip, rub or move like dentures, so you can speak and eat with confidence.
Preserve jawbone and facial structure
When you lose a tooth, the bone beneath can begin to shrink. Implants help stimulate the jawbone and maintain your natural facial shape.
Look and feel natural
We carefully shade-match and shape your crowns to blend perfectly with the rest of your teeth. Most people won’t even be able to tell they’re not real.
Protect neighbouring teeth
Unlike dental bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, helping you retain more of your natural tooth structure.
Long-lasting results
With proper care and regular check-ups, dental implants can last decades, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health.
We’ve completed many successful implant treatments for patients from Basingstoke and beyond, each one tailored to the individual. Your experience will always start with a comprehensive consultation so we can discuss your needs and expectations fully.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Most people are suitable candidates, but we’ll need to assess your oral and general health first. Good bone density and healthy gums are important. If needed, we can discuss options like bone grafting or sinus lifts to prepare the area.
Does the implant procedure hurt?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and most people find it more comfortable than expected. Some mild soreness is normal for a few days afterwards, but it’s easily managed with pain relief.
How long does a dental implant take from start to finish?
It varies depending on your case. For most people, the process takes a few months, allowing time for healing between stages. We’ll provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
Will my dental implants look natural?
Absolutely. We carefully craft each restoration to match the colour, size and shape of your existing teeth. Patients regularly tell us how pleased they are with how realistic their implants look.
How do I care for my implants?
Just like your natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing and attending regular check-ups is key. Implants can’t decay, but the surrounding gum still needs care to stay healthy.
