Dental implants in Truro
New teeth.
Carefully planned around you.
Replacing missing teeth starts with understanding what matters to you. Explore your options with a team who will take time to listen, explain and plan your care.
Understanding dental implants
A foundation for your new teeth.
An implant sits in the jawbone and supports a replacement tooth or teeth. The right approach depends on your mouth, your health and what you would like to achieve.
A single crown.
An individual replacement tooth supported by an implant.
An implant bridge.
A connected set of replacement teeth supported by implants.
A steadier fit.
Implants can help retain a removable denture where suitable.
Implants are one option. We will also discuss suitable alternatives, such as a bridge, denture or leaving a space.
Your treatment journey
Your care, step by step.
Your plan is individual to you. These are the usual stages, with time for healing and questions along the way.
Listen & assess
We discuss your priorities and examine your teeth, gums and bite. X-rays, scans or impressions are taken where needed to help plan your care.
Plan together
We explain the suitable options, expected timetable and personalised costs. If bone or gum grafting is needed, this is included in the planning discussion.
Place the implant
Treatment is carried out with local anaesthetic. If you feel anxious, we can discuss additional support, including sedation where appropriate.
Allow time to heal
We review healing and advise when your implant is ready for the next stage. This usually takes several months and may take longer if grafting is needed.
Fit your new teeth
We take records and make your crown, bridge or denture. We check the fit, appearance and bite before completing treatment.
Care for the long term
Daily cleaning, regular dental checks and professional maintenance help protect your implant and surrounding tissues. We will show you what to do.

Your questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth. It sits in the jawbone and can support a crown, bridge or denture.
Are dental implants suitable for me?
Your consultation includes an assessment of your teeth, gums, bite and available bone, together with a discussion of your health and what you would like to achieve. We will explain whether implants are suitable and talk through the options with you.
What are the alternatives to implants?
Depending on your mouth and the teeth you are missing, alternatives may include a removable denture or a dental bridge. Explore our Digital Dentures page, or speak with us about which option would suit you.
How long does implant treatment take?
Treatment takes place over several appointments. The implant needs time to heal in the bone before the final teeth are fitted. Your team will explain the expected timetable, including any extractions or bone grafting needed.
Will I be awake during treatment?
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic. If you feel anxious, let us know so we can discuss how to support you, including sedation where suitable.
How much do dental implants cost?
Every implant case is highly individual and requires careful planning. The cost is determined following an implant consultation and treatment-planning discussion, where we assess your needs, listen to your goals and explore the options available to you. We will explain the proposed treatment, its stages and the personalised costs before you decide how to proceed.
How do I look after my implants?
We will show you how to clean around your implant and recommend regular reviews. Your replacement teeth and surrounding gums need ongoing care. Our dental hygiene team can help you maintain a cleaning routine.
Can implants be part of a wider smile treatment plan?
If you also want to improve the appearance of your other teeth, we can discuss the options together and plan the order of treatment. Visit our Cosmetic Dentistry page to explore treatments for your wider smile.
What should I know about risks and long-term care?
Implants need ongoing care and are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Healing problems, infection, gum or bone changes and repairs to replacement teeth can occur. Your clinician will explain the risks relevant to your treatment, including any nearby nerves or sinus, before you decide.
