A permanent tooth
that feels like your own
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth permanently. It is fixed in place, looks natural, and lets you eat, speak and smile without thinking about it. Placed by Dr San Chatterjee — MID Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh, 24 years of experience.
Includes examination, X-rays and a written treatment plan with costs. £40 refunded if you proceed.
A missing tooth affects more than your smile
You stop eating on that side. You learn to smile with your mouth closed. If you wear a denture, you know the daily frustration — the adhesive, the movement, the worry that someone will notice.
And you may have looked into implants before and hesitated. Too expensive. Too surgical. Not sure if it is worth it. Those are normal concerns — and they are exactly what the consultation is for.
An implant is the only tooth replacement that actually replaces the root. It preserves bone, supports a permanent crown, and gives you back a tooth that functions exactly like the one you lost.
How an implant works
A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone where the root used to be. Over 3–6 months, bone fuses around it. A porcelain crown is then fixed on top — permanently. You brush it like a normal tooth. You eat with it like a normal tooth. Most patients forget it is there.
Implants are the closest thing to having your own tooth again — unlike dentures or bridges, they do not move, do not rely on other teeth, and feel completely stable.
What to expect — step by step
Full examination, X-rays, discussion of your goals. Written plan and quote. No commitment.
CT scan if needed. Implant position planned precisely. Any preparatory work completed first.
Under local anaesthetic. Most patients say it was easier than they expected. You go home the same day.
Bone fuses with the implant. You may have a temporary tooth during this time. No pain — just waiting.
Custom porcelain crown fitted and shade-matched. Permanent. Indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

Cost and finance
Exact cost depends on whether bone grafting or additional procedures are needed. Everything confirmed in a written quote before treatment begins.
The price we quote is the price you pay. 0% finance subject to status.
Common concerns
The placement is done under local anaesthetic — you feel pressure, not pain. Most patients say it was easier than they expected. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards, managed with standard painkillers.
Most adults are. What matters is bone quality and gum health, not age. The consultation determines suitability. If implants are not right for you, we will say so and discuss alternatives.
The titanium post can last a lifetime with good hygiene. The crown may need replacing after 15–20 years. Published research shows 95%+ survival at 10 years.
Failure is uncommon — around 2–5% of cases. If the bone does not fuse properly, the post is removed, healing occurs, and we can usually try again. All risks are explained before you decide.
