For more information about our dental implant treatments, please book an appointment to discuss the best procedure for your needs.
Dental implants are placed in our Southampton implant clinic by surgically inserting titanium posts into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Unlike removable dentures, they’re a permanent solution for replacement teeth.
These fixtures then function similarly to natural tooth roots, stimulating the bone underneath. Without tooth roots, the body can reabsorb the bone, which can affect the shape of the face as well as the bite.
While cosmetic dentistry can change your appearance, getting fixed teeth implants in Southampton can fully restore your bite function, too.
At Smilemakers, our implantologist team provides all aspects of implant treatment with the utmost care, from listening to your concerns and taking X-rays to placing and restoring your implants and final crowns.
Dental implants usually take 3 to 6 months to integrate with the jawbone. During this healing period, a temporary crown can be provided until you’re ready to fit the final artificial tooth (or teeth).
This will result in a new smile that looks like your natural teeth!
If you’re embarrassed by tooth loss but aren’t sure how to restore your smile, it’s best to speak to a dental implant specialist, who can assess your teeth and jawbone during a dental implant consultation.
We’re proud to offer a range of implant treatments at Smilemakers, using special techniques and implant dentistry equipment to improve your smile and oral health.
Our experienced dentists can provide more information about how each treatment works, which procedure would provide the best results for your teeth, and how the healing process can affect your lifestyle while you’re undergoing treatment.

Your mouth can affect your whole health, so it’s important to give yourself a healthy and fully functional bite if you have missing teeth. More than just leaving empty spaces in your mouth, damaged or lost teeth can cause problems from bad breath to decay and infection, but dental implants can help to address these issues.
Dental implants are an exceptional form of dental care for most healthy adults. It’s most effective when the patient has good oral hygiene and an overall healthy lifestyle.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a fixed solution that also replaces the tooth root rather than just resting on top of the gums, giving more support.
When you first visit the practice for a dental implant consultation in Southampton, our dentists will conduct an in-depth assessment of your teeth and mouth to ensure you have a stable foundation for the procedure. Smilemakers has an on-site CBCT scanner, which allows us to assess your bone quickly with a high degree of accuracy.
If our dentists don’t think that you’re a suitable candidate, they can use their expertise to discuss other options to deliver a superlative smile that you can be proud of.
We aim to give our patients the confidence to make informed decisions about their dental care with comprehensive support. To book your first appointment or make an enquiry about your treatment options or costs, please contact the practice today.
Treatment lengths and durations vary from patient to patient. Some dental implant placements can be relatively quick and simple. However, should you have more complex requirements, the process can sometimes take a little longer.
We will discuss this in full before you start treatment so that you know what to expect from each visit. Anaesthesia will ensure you don’t feel pain during the procedure, but if you are an especially nervous patient, sedation may be available (please enquire about sedation during your initial consultation if you have this concern).
We’ll do all that we can to make sure you feel comfortable during every stage of your treatment plan. The high level of experience and expertise at Smilemakers ensures that getting a dental implant is no more stressful a procedure than having a tooth removed.
Of course, after the implants have been inserted into your jaw through the gum, you’ll need to wait a few months for the tissue to heal before getting your final teeth.
However, if you would prefer faster results, we offer a cutting-edge teeth in a day service to replace missing teeth the very same day that the implant posts are fitted.
This is an extremely successful and long-lasting solution for a confident smile, which means that if you’re eligible for this option, you could leave the practice with gleaming new teeth and newfound confidence in as little as four hours.
It’s hard to say how much Southampton dental implants cost without knowing the condition of your teeth and which implant procedure you would need.
A single tooth replacement in Southampton with an individual implant will cost less than full-mouth dental implants in Southampton. However, there are different options depending on your needs – for example, an implant-retained denture may be more affordable than an all-on-four “teeth in a day” procedure.
Here at Smilemakers, we believe that every patient should have access to their dream smile. That’s why the starting costs at our clinic are transparent, reflective of our superlative dentistry, and extremely competitive compared to other practices in the area.
We also offer payment plans with 0% interest-free credit available to help eligible patients split the cost into smaller, more manageable payments across several months – making implant dentistry affordable. Our dedicated treatment co-ordinator would be happy to chat with you about your payment options.

“We joined Smilemakers when the practice opened in Southampton. We have both had major treatment, which included crowns, bridges, veneers and tooth whitening.
Before this treatment, we were both conscious that our teeth were not attractive and more than showed our age. In spite of lengthy sessions of treatment, we were both put at ease and had complete confidence in the work being carried out.
At all times Smilemakers made our comfort and wellbeing paramount and great care was taken to make the treatment as pain-free as possible.
We are both very pleased with our teeth, and Smilemakers has now given us the confidence to smile more openly.
We have always been pleased with the service we have received from Smilemakers and have always been dealt with promptly and in a friendly and courteous manner. We definitely would, without hesitation, recommend Smilemakers to family and friends.”
