A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to act as a replacement root. It supports one or more artificial teeth. Both the implant and the attached teeth are commonly referred to as "implants."

Dental implants are an investment in your health and confidence – but Watford Smile Clinic offers some of the most competitive pricing in the UK.

💥 Our current offer: £1250 per dental implant – making us one of the most affordable options in the area without compromising on quality.

This cost-effective solution often avoids the need for more invasive procedures like filing down healthy teeth for bridges. Implants also offer better comfort and stability compared to traditional dentures.

Yes – dental implants are a well-established and reliable treatment. With proper care, over 90% of modern implants last 15 years or more, often much longer.

Absolutely. Whether you're missing a single tooth or need a full arch replacement, implants can be tailored to your needs.

It depends on the quality and quantity of bone in your jaw. We may carry out a 3D scan or other tests to determine suitability. In some cases, a bone graft may be needed before implants can be placed.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic (with or without sedation), so you won’t feel pain during placement. Some discomfort is normal for a few days after surgery, often due to stitches and the healing process.

Not immediately. The implant needs time to integrate with the bone – usually around 3 months in the lower jaw and 6 months in the upper jaw. Temporary teeth will be provided during this healing period.

No more so than natural teeth. However, we will show you the best cleaning techniques to ensure long-term implant health.

Yes, but it’s essential to keep the implants clean. Just like natural teeth, poor oral hygiene or smoking can lead to problems. We'll advise you on how to maintain them properly.

Most implant-supported teeth are fixed in place and can only be removed by a dentist. However, if you have implant-retained dentures with bars or clips, you’ll be able to remove them for cleaning.

No – we carefully place implants to ensure they are not visible during normal speaking or smiling. They’ll look and feel just like natural teeth.

Not necessarily. A few implants can support multiple teeth. For example, five to six implants can support a full arch of teeth.

This is rare. If an implant becomes loose, it can be removed and replaced after healing. Alternatively, other implant-supported teeth may still be used to support a bridge.
