A small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement tooth root.
Over several weeks, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached, completing your smile.
We offer a range of implant solutions depending on your needs:
Replace one missing tooth with a single implant and crown, without affecting neighbouring teeth.
Ideal for multiple missing teeth, using fewer implants to support a fixed bridge.
Secure your dentures with implants for improved comfort, stability, and confidence.
Replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw with a fixed, long-term solution.

Immediately after your procedure, it’s normal to experience:
These symptoms are typically short-lived and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and following your aftercare instructions.
Recovery happens in two stages:
Initial healing (first few days):
Full healing (osseointegration):
During the early healing phase, we recommend:
To support healing and protect your implant:
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the process is. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and post-treatment discomfort is typically mild and short-lived.

We offer a range of before-and-after cases demonstrating natural-looking, long-lasting results in our Smile Gallery.
This dental implant case was completed at our Plymouth practice for a patient who had been struggling with missing teeth.
Dr. Giddani placed 9 dental implants, creating a upper & lower implant retained bridge that brought back her smile and changed her life forever.
We are committed to delivering high-quality, personalised care at every stage of your treatment.
Dental implant treatment is generally much more comfortable than most patients expect. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the implant placement itself—only some pressure.
After the procedure, it’s normal to experience mild discomfort or swelling for a few days, similar to having a tooth removed. This can usually be managed effectively with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients find they recover quickly and are able to return to normal activities within a short time.
At our Plymouth practice, we take extra care to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, and we are experienced in supporting nervous patients throughout every stage of the process.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth and, with proper care, can last for many years—often 10–20 years or more. In many cases, the implant itself (the titanium post placed in the jaw) can last a lifetime, while the visible crown may need replacing after 10–15 years due to normal wear.
The longevity of dental implants depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and lifestyle habits such as smoking. At our Plymouth practice, we use high-quality materials and careful planning to ensure your implant is as durable and long-lasting as possible. With the right care and maintenance, dental implants can provide a reliable, natural-looking solution for restoring your smile.
Most adults with missing teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants, but this depends on your individual oral health and medical history. Ideally, you should have healthy gums and sufficient bone in the jaw to support the implant. Even if bone loss has occurred, additional treatments such as bone grafting can often make implants possible.
Lifestyle factors like smoking, certain medical conditions, or untreated gum disease may affect suitability, but these can usually be discussed and managed as part of your treatment planning. The best way to determine if implants are right for you is through a detailed consultation and assessment.
At our Plymouth practice, we carry out thorough examinations and use advanced imaging where needed to ensure dental implants are a safe and effective option for you.
Yes — smokers can still have dental implants, but smoking can increase the risk of complications and affect the long-term success of treatment.
Smoking reduces blood flow and slows healing, which can interfere with the process where the implant bonds with the jawbone (osseointegration). It also increases the risk of infection and implant failure over time.
At Larkham House, we carry out a detailed assessment including digital scans and evaluation of bone quality to determine whether implants are suitable for you.
💡 Our recommendation:
Stopping smoking — even temporarily before and after implant placement — can significantly improve healing and long-term implant success.
