Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants in Coventry varies according to factors including the complexity of your case and the number of implants needed. At our practice, we always provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan and are happy to discuss costs and payment options with you.

Dental implants are incredibly long-lasting, with the potential to last for the rest of your life, as long as they are looked after properly. Ensure you keep up with an excellent oral hygiene routine at home and visit your dentist for regular check-ups to help your implants last as long as possible.

Most adults are suitable for dental implants to replace teeth, providing they are in good general and oral health and have sufficient jawbone density to hold the implants in place. We always carry out a full consultation and assessment to ensure dental implants are right for you.

Implants are fixed securely in place, so they won’t move when you are eating and speaking. Traditional dentures can become loose and uncomfortable over time, stopping you eating or smiling in public for fear of slipping. Dental implants also sustain your gum, helping to prevent bone loss and maintain your natural facial structure.

Yes, dental implants are designed to look and feel just like natural teeth, and exactly mimic the function of a natural tooth root. The crown or bridge that sits on top of your implant is carefully created to match the colour, shape and size of the surrounding natural teeth so it seamlessly blends into your smile.

It’s easy to look after your dental implants! Simply treat them in the same way you treat your natural teeth, brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. It is also important to visit your dentist and hygienist regularly.

If your jawbone has thinned or become lost over time, we can often perform a straightforward bone graft or sinus lift to increase bone volume and create a solid foundation. This makes a successful dental implant procedure much more likely, and can make the treatment possible for people who may have been told they were not suitable candidates.

The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the treatment itself. Most people find the recovery process very manageable with standard over-the-counter pain relief, similar to how you might feel after a simple extraction.

Yes, dental implants are among the most researched and well-established treatments in modern dentistry, with success rates typically exceeding 95% when placed by an experienced clinician. At Cathedral Dental, implants are placed by dentists with advanced surgical and implant training, and every case begins with a detailed consultation and scan to map your jaw before treatment starts. As with any surgical procedure, there are small risks, such as infection, implant failure, or (rarely) nerve involvement, but careful planning helps identify and minimise these in advance. Once integrated, implants function and feel like natural teeth, provided you maintain good oral hygiene and attend follow-up check-ups.
