A reliable way to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants are titanium posts placed into your jaw to replace missing teeth. They act as a strong foundation for a replacement tooth, crown, or fixed bridges.
Designed to blend with your natural teeth, implants restore both function and appearance while preserving remaining teeth and supporting jawbone health.
At Peartree Clinic, our implant dentistry focuses on patient comfort, precise treatment planning, and achieving a beautiful smile you can feel confident about.

Most people are suitable candidates for dental implants, as long as they are generally healthy and have good oral health. However, they are not an ideal option for everyone. Dental implants are not usually offered to younger patients whose jaws are still growing. Smokers and patients with certain medical conditions, including diabetes, may struggle to heal correctly following surgery and increase the risk of implant failure. It is also important that you have enough bone density in your jaw to hold the implants in place, but this can be improved with a bone graft. We will thoroughly discuss your overall suitability for implant treatment at your initial consultation.
We use local anaesthetic during dental implant surgery to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. You won’t be able to feel a thing. After treatment, it is normal to experience some discomfort, and this can be managed with pain relief advised by your dentist. Implant treatment is often less painful than having a tooth extraction, and most patients can return to their usual routines the next day.
The whole process, from replacing missing teeth to securing fixed replacements, can take several months. The implant surgery is a relatively quick procedure, but the implants themselves need around 3-6 months to heal and fuse before fixed permanent teeth can be placed. The treatment process will be longer if you need a bone graft or other procedure first, but your new smile will be more than worth it in the end.
Dental implants can last a lifetime if they are correctly looked after. This includes maintaining an excellent brushing and flossing routine, looking after your general health, and attending regular checkup appointments with your dentist. The crown or bridge that the implant supports may need to be replaced over time from normal wear and tear.
No, dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth. We can match the shape and colour of your existing teeth when creating your final fixed crown or bridge so it blends seamlessly into your smile.
You may find it easier! As your implants are fused to your jawbone and the replacement teeth securely supported, you shouldn’t have any trouble speaking and may find your speech becomes clearer once the gap in your teeth has been filled.
Chris and his assistant were absolutely brilliant. They make you feel at ease. I was very nervous; I don't like the injections. His assistant held my hand and comforted me; it was nice. Chris kept checking to see if I was ok. They laughed, made jokes, and made me laugh. At Peartree Clinic, everyone looks after you. Absolutely brilliant service.
