Treatment Questions

Your treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we'll examine your teeth, mouth, and gums. We'll discuss all available options with you whether that's single implants, full mouth implants, or alternative treatments. If we can save your natural teeth, we'll always explore that option first.

Once you're happy with your treatment plan, you'll have an appointment with our dental hygienists to ensure your mouth is completely healthy and ready for treatment. Your implant will then be fitted to the jawbone and topped with a crown. We'll schedule a follow-up appointment to check everything has settled properly before you enjoy your new smile.

Dental implants preserve your adjacent healthy teeth and typically last significantly longer than bridges, making them the preferred choice for most patients with missing teeth. Unlike bridges, implants don't require us to file down neighbouring teeth for support.

Leaving a missing tooth untreated can have long-term effects on your oral health, jaw structure, and teeth alignment. The surrounding teeth may shift position over time, and the jawbone can begin to deteriorate. Dental implants help maintain your oral health and prevent these complications.
With proper care and regular check-ups, dental implants typically last 20-30 years and often a lifetime. They're truly an investment in your smile.
We use local anaesthetic during the procedure, so you shouldn't feel any pain while your implant is being placed. Some patients experience mild discomfort and swelling in the days following treatment, but this is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is.
Most adults with good general health are suitable candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we'll assess your jawbone density, gum health, and overall oral condition. If your jawbone has deteriorated, bone grafting may be an option to help support the implant. We'll always be honest about whether implants are right for you.
We recommend sticking to soft foods for the first few days after your procedure while the area heals. Most patients return to their normal diet within a couple of weeks. Once your implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, you'll be able to eat all your favourite foods without restriction.
Caring for dental implants is simple – treat them like your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend your routine check-ups and hygiene appointments. With proper care, your implants will stay healthy and functional for decades.
Dental implants are permanently fixed into your jawbone, providing a stable, natural-feeling solution that doesn't move or slip. Dentures are removable and sit on the gums. Implants also help preserve jawbone density, which dentures cannot do. Many patients find implants more comfortable and convenient for everyday life.

Before Your Treatment

Yes, a hygiene appointment is mandatory before implant treatment at Space Dental. This ensures your teeth and gums are in optimal health for the procedure. Our dental hygienists remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, creating the ideal conditions for composite bonding to adhere properly. This pre-treatment hygiene session typically takes 45-60 minutes and significantly improves your results and longevity.

Space Dental accepts multiple payment methods for your convenience: cash, all major credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and flexible finance options through our partners. We offer 0% APR finance plans allowing you to spread treatment costs over 6-48 months (subject to status, minimum spend £500). Our Treatment Consultants will discuss all payment options during your consultation and help create a payment plan that suits your budget.

Most adults with good general health are suitable for dental implants at Space Dental. Key requirements include adequate jawbone density, healthy gums, and commitment to oral hygiene. Factors that may affect suitability include uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, active gum disease, or certain medications. Age isn't a barrier - we've successfully treated patients in their 80s. Our comprehensive assessment includes CBCT 3D scanning to evaluate bone density and create your personalised treatment plan.

No, you don't need a referral to visit Space Dental for dentistry treatments. As a private cosmetic dental practice, we accept self-referrals for all treatments including dental implants, and smile makeovers. Simply book a consultation directly through our website or call our clinics in Wakefield, Sheffield, or Stockport. We also accept referrals from general dentists for complex cosmetic cases or specialist treatments.
