Are you looking for a permanent solution to replace missing teeth? Dental implants at Larkham House Dental Practice , Plymouth are the answer you’ve been searching for. Dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Dental implants are titanium tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or implant-retained dentures, all designed to match your natural teeth. Dental implants not only improve the appearance of your smile but also enhance your oral health by preventing bone loss and maintaining the structure of your jaw.
Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. This allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing that your teeth are secure and natural-looking.
Durability and Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are a more durable and reliable option compared to traditional dentures and bridges, which may need to be replaced or adjusted over time.
Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require the alteration of adjacent healthy teeth. This helps preserve the integrity of your natural teeth and promotes better long-term oral health.
Prevent Bone Loss: Dental implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing. This maintains your facial structure and prevents the sunken appearance that can result from missing teeth.
The cost of dental implants typically ranges from £3,000 to £5,000 per tooth, depending on your individual needs. This variation is influenced by factors such as the number of implants required, the complexity of the case, and whether additional treatments—like bone grafting or sinus lifts—are needed to ensure a stable, long-lasting result. Following a detailed consultation and assessment, we’ll provide a personalised treatment plan with a clear breakdown of costs so you know exactly what to expect.
The dental implant process at our Plymouth practice is carefully planned to ensure long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive oral assessment to understand your overall dental health and goals.
A 3D CBCT scan is taken to evaluate your jawbone’s health, structure, and suitability for implant placement. This high-tech imaging ensures precise planning and optimal outcomes.
Based on the clinical and imaging findings, a personalized treatment plan is crafted. If needed, preparatory procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts are discussed to build a solid foundation.
Before implant placement, a professional cleaning with one of our hygienists ensures your mouth is healthy, clean, and free from inflammation — setting the stage for successful healing.
Under local anaesthesia, the titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone. The procedure is designed to be efficient and comfortable.
Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your bone in a natural process called osseointegration, creating a stable base for your new tooth.
Once healed, detailed impressions are taken to design your prosthetic ( Crown/Bridge/Denture) that seamlessly blends with your existing teeth.
The final step — attaching the custom crown/bridge or denture to your implant — brings your confident, functional smile to life.
Most dental implant treatments are completed over several months, ensuring the implant integrates fully for a strong, long-term result.
At Larkham House, we offer a full range of advanced dental implant treatments. Some patients may require additional procedures, such as bone grafting or sinus augmentation, to ensure the success of their dental implants. We provide these advanced treatments in-house, eliminating the need for referrals to other specialists. Our use of the latest CBCT imaging technology allows us to precisely plan and execute even the most complex implant cases, ensuring the best outcomes for our patients.

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.
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.
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.
