What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once placed, the bone grows around it and a custom-made crown or bridge is attached on top. The result looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.

Replace one tooth

A single implant supports a single porcelain crown. Most common, most straightforward.

Diagram of multiple teeth replaced with implant-supported bridge

Replace multiple teeth

Two or more implants supporting a fixed bridge. Fewer implants than missing teeth thanks to clever bridge design.

Replace all teeth

A full implant-retained denture or fixed bridge replaces an entire arch of teeth. Life-changing for long-term denture wearers.

We use Prama implants by Sweden & Martina

There are hundreds of dental implant systems on the market. We chose Prama deliberately, for three specific reasons that affect long-term outcomes.

Prama dental implant showing the gum-attaching neck design
01

Gum-attaching neck design

The neck of the Prama implant is designed for the gum to attach directly to it, protecting the bone underneath. Studies show this reduces the rate of peri-implantitis, a gum-disease-like condition around implants and the most common cause of implant failure.

Grade 5 titanium implant material used in medical applications
02

Made from grade 5 titanium

Grade 5 titanium is already the standard in medical implants because it's biocompatible: the body accepts it and the bone fuses with it. Same material grade as orthopaedic implants used in hips and knees.

CLEAN certification logo from the Independent Clean Dental Implant Foundation
03

CLEAN certified

Prama is certified as "CLEAN" by the Independent Clean Dental Implant Foundation. This independent body verifies the implant surface is free of contamination, which is itself thought to contribute to implant failure. Not all implants carry this certification.

More on the Clean Implant Foundation →

Why this matters: implant systems are an area where most patients can't see the difference. We could choose a cheaper system and you'd never know. We use Prama because the long-term failure data is materially better, and an implant is meant to last decades.

Three implant pathways

Most patients fall into one of these three scenarios. Your free smile report will recommend the right approach for your specific situation.

01

Single tooth

Replacing one missing tooth with one implant and a porcelain crown

Implants
1
Timeline
3 to 4 months
From
£2,600

The most common case. A clean, predictable solution that looks and feels like the tooth it replaced.

02

Multiple teeth

Replacing two or more missing teeth using fewer implants than teeth, supporting a bridge

Implants
1 to 4
Timeline
3 to 4 months
From
£5,800

Bridge design lets us replace more teeth than implants. The simplest case is one implant supporting two teeth (one crown plus one pontic). Each additional pontic on the same structure is £500.

03

Full arch

Replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, either as a secure denture or a fixed bridge

Implants
2 to 8
Timeline
4 to 6 months
From
£5,000–£15,509

Two ways to do this: a clip-on secure denture (from £5,000, 2 to 4 implants) or a permanent fixed bridge (from £15,509, 6 to 8 implants). The next section explains the difference.

Secure denture vs fixed bridge

If you're replacing all the teeth in one jaw, this is the most important decision you'll make. Both attach to implants. They differ in how permanent the result is, how it feels day to day, and how much it costs.

CostFrom £5,000From £15,509

Our recommendation: if you've been wearing a loose denture for years, a secure denture is genuinely life-changing and is the option most patients choose. A fixed bridge is the gold standard if budget allows and you want a result indistinguishable from natural teeth. We'll talk both options through fully at your assessment.

What your implant journey looks like

Most cases take 3 to 4 months from first appointment to final restoration. Here's what happens at each stage.

  1. Step One

    Consultation

    A friendly conversation about what's going on, what you want to achieve, and which options might fit. About 30 minutes, no obligation.

  2. Step Two

    CT scan & planning

    A 3D CT scan of your jaw shows exactly where the bone is, where the nerves are, and where each implant should go. Your treatment plan is built around this scan.

  3. Step Three

    Plan, fees & consent

    You receive a detailed written plan with itemised fees and finance options. Nothing happens until you've had time to consider and consent.

  4. Step Four

    Implant placement

    The implant is placed under local anaesthetic in a comfortable, calm setting. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the surgery itself is.

  5. Step Five

    Healing & final restoration

    The implant fuses with your jawbone over 3 to 4 months. Once healed, the final crown, bridge, or denture is fitted and you walk out with your finished smile.

What implant patients say

★★★★★

"My experience after more than one year, with normal routine visit, cleaning and one dental implant was amazing. Alejandra did an excellent job. All the team is friendly and very professional. I recommended it to my girlfriend and my friends which they joined as well and are very happy!"

★★★★★

"Perfect Unfortunately I’ve been poorly and had many metal tubes put down my throat and my front teeth became very loose. I was advised I needed 5 implants straight away, decided to have a second opinion from 360 and after having scans I was told there wasn’t anything wrong with my teeth roots and only needed coating I decided to whiten my teeth and have caulking work to fill gaps, a metal strengthening strip behind front teeth, bottom teeth coated too and back teeth built up to take the strain off my front teeth.

That’s the dental work but the moment you open 360 practice door and enter with Liz smiling at you and offering a tea or coffee any worries you may of have, drift away. All work needed is explained, simply and prices are clear no hidden costs. If you’re someone who ‘hates’ the clinical smell of dentist’s there isn’t one. Jayme is so knowledgeable and caring, saved me months of work and so much money I can’t recommend him and his team highly enough."

★★★★★

"Absolutely love the outcome of my smile. Thank you to the lovely team, after many years fearing the dentist, I was at ease here! Always a warm welcome from Kayla at reception, Hayley was lovely, Alejandra made my dental implants quick and relaxing, and overall huge thank you to Jayme. From the start Jayme has known my fear with dentists but made sure every visit I was relaxed and talked me through everything, and now I have a smile I absolutely love!

Thank you all again."

★★★★★

"After some apprehension about having teeth implants i decided to visit 360 Dental after reading some impressive reviews. I was glad that i did , I found the place very warm and friendly and the staff are very professional in every aspect of their job. Jayme Adams is the Captain of the ship and his expertise and thoroughness is exemplary. Their is no doubt that he's a perfectionist and a master of his craft. His attention to detail is paramount in the final outcome and I was very pleased indeed with the final result.

So thank you to Jayme who is a credit to the profession and my sincere thanks to all the team at 360 Dental."

★★★★★

"I had a lot of work to do, including an implant, bridge and crown. Right from the start Jayme and the team impressed me with their fantastic knowledge, enthusiasm and reassurance. I am extremely impressed with the detailed research done, the eagerness and ability to ensure I was 100% satisfied and the amazing overall result. I always felt that my health and well being were of paramount importance and most of all I was made to feel valued and cared for as a client.

I will miss you guys! Thank you!"

Implant FAQs

The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthetic so you don't feel pain during surgery. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the placement is. Afterwards there's typically some swelling and mild discomfort for a few days, easily managed with standard pain relief. The vast majority of patients return to normal activity the next day.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants are one of the longest-lasting tooth replacements available. Studies show success rates of over 95% at 10 years and many implants last 20 years or more. The crown or bridge attached to the implant may need replacing eventually (typically after 10 to 15 years), but the implant itself usually doesn't.

Most adults in good general health are suitable. The main factors we assess are bone volume in the jaw (sometimes a bone graft is needed first), gum health (we'll treat any gum disease before implant placement), and overall medical history. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes both increase failure risk and we'll talk through any concerns at your consultation. Most "borderline" cases are still possible with the right planning.

Typically 3 to 4 months from start to finish for a standard case. The longest part is the healing phase (osseointegration), where your bone fuses to the implant. This needs 2 to 3 months and isn't something that can be rushed without compromising long-term success. Complex cases involving bone grafts or full-arch reconstruction can take 6 to 9 months.

There are hundreds of implant systems and many of them work well. We chose Prama by Sweden & Martina for three reasons: the gum-attaching neck reduces peri-implantitis (the most common cause of long-term failure), the grade 5 titanium is the same medical-grade material used in hip and knee replacements, and Prama carries CLEAN certification from the Independent Clean Dental Implant Foundation, which verifies the implant surface is free of contamination. The detailed comparison is in the Prama section above.

Titanium is the established standard for dental implants and what most patients receive. Zirconia is a newer ceramic alternative, sometimes preferred for its tooth-coloured appearance (helpful in thin gums where a metal post might show through) or for patients who prefer a metal-free option. Dr Dharmista Adams trained at the Biohealth Clinic in Switzerland in zirconia placement and we offer both materials. We'll recommend whichever is right for your specific situation.

Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons patients come to us. Long-term denture wearers often have some bone loss in the jaw, which can affect implant placement. We'll take a 3D CT scan first to see exactly what bone is there. If there isn't enough, a bone graft may be needed before implant placement, which adds time but is very routine. The transition from a loose denture to an implant-retained solution is genuinely life-changing for most patients.

Implants preserve your jawbone (because the bone has something to attach to and stay healthy around). They don't rely on adjacent teeth for support, so the neighbouring teeth stay untouched. They feel and function like natural teeth. They last decades rather than the 5 to 10 years a typical bridge or denture lasts. The trade-off is a higher upfront cost and a longer treatment timeline, but the long-term value is usually significantly better.

Almost never. The NHS only funds implants in very rare medical cases (for example, after oral cancer surgery) and the threshold is high. For most people, dental implants are a private treatment. We're a private practice and offer 0% finance over 12 months via Tabeo, plus longer-term finance at 9.9% APR over 3 to 5 years to spread the cost.

We're based on Southern Street in central Manchester (M3 4NJ), three minutes from Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop and Deansgate rail station. Patients travel in for dental implants from across Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Altrincham, and the wider Cheshire commuter belt. We have implant patients who travel from across the UK and abroad. Implant treatment is a journey of several visits over months, but the visits themselves are spaced and manageable.
