About Dental Implants

Dental Implants at Ilkley Dental Practice

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile — they can impact your bite, speech, confidence, and even facial structure. At Ilkley Dental Practice, we offer in-house dental implants — the gold standard in tooth replacement — to restore both function and appearance with long-lasting results.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium fixtures that act as artificial tooth roots. Surgically placed into the jawbone, they integrate naturally with your bone and provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or support full sets of dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • Function: Enjoy improved chewing ability and a wider diet, without the worry of slipping dentures.

  • Aesthetics: Restore balance and symmetry to your smile by filling visible gaps.

  • Stability: Implants help preserve jawbone density, preventing shrinkage and changes in facial shape.

  • Confidence: Speak, smile, and eat freely without self-consciousness.

Your Implant Journey

We provide personalised treatment plans that consider your unique situation and all possible tooth replacement options.

Step 1: Consultation
We’ll begin with an in-depth consultation, which may include a digital scan and X-ray. If you’re suitable for implants, we’ll proceed with advanced 3D imaging (CBCT scan) to assess bone quality and plan your treatment precisely.

Step 2: Treatment Plan
You’ll receive a detailed plan by email, including:

  • Number of visits required

  • Full cost breakdown

  • Time scales and recovery expectations

We’ll also ensure you have time to ask questions and attend review appointments if needed.

Step 3: Implant Placement
Implants are placed under local anaesthetic in our Ilkley practice, ensuring a comfortable and controlled experience. We guide you through every step and follow up carefully to support your healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Most healthy adults are good candidates. We’ll assess your bone quality, general health, and oral hygiene before confirming suitability through scans and examination.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 10–15 years or even longer. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups are key to longevity.

Is the procedure painful?

Implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic and is generally well tolerated. Some mild soreness may follow, similar to other dental procedures, and we’ll provide full aftercare support.
