Titanium Root Placement
A biocompatible titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable anchor for your new tooth.
Restore your confidence with clinically proven, long-lasting dental implants. Our GDC-registered specialists at Bridge Dental provide single tooth, multiple tooth and full-arch implant solutions — right here in Richmond.
What are Dental Implants?
If you've lost one or more teeth through decay, injury or gum disease, dental implants offer the most natural and long-lasting solution available in modern dentistry. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace the entire tooth structure — root and all.
A small titanium screw is gently placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone over several weeks — a process called osseointegration. Once integrated, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is attached on top, giving you a result that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.
A biocompatible titanium post is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable anchor for your new tooth.
Over 3–6 months, the titanium fuses with your living bone tissue. This biological bond is what gives implants their exceptional strength and stability — unlike any other tooth replacement.
Once healing is complete, a precision-crafted porcelain crown, bridge or denture is fitted to the implant abutment — creating a seamless, natural-looking result matched to your existing teeth.
Implant Solutions in Richmond
Whether you've lost a single tooth or require a full-mouth restoration, we offer a range of implant solutions tailored to your clinical needs and budget. All treatments are carried out at our Richmond practice by our experienced implant team.
The ideal solution when you've lost one tooth. A single titanium implant supports a custom crown — no need to grind down adjacent healthy teeth as with a bridge. Looks completely natural.
£2,500When several adjacent teeth are missing, implant-supported bridges restore both function and aesthetics without compromising surrounding teeth. We plan each case individually using digital imaging.
£4,000Replace a full arch of missing teeth using just four strategically placed implants. Often completed in a single day, All-on-4 provides fixed teeth without the need for denture adhesives.
£9,500 per archA narrower titanium implant ideal for patients with lower bone density or those seeking a less invasive procedure. Particularly effective for stabilising lower dentures. Shorter healing time.

We guide every patient through a clearly structured process — from your very first consultation through to your final crown fitting. Here's how your treatment journey at Bridge Dental in Richmond typically unfolds.
Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation. We take digital X-rays and, where needed, a 3D CBCT scan to assess your bone structure and overall oral health. We'll discuss your goals, explain the process in full, and provide a personalised treatment plan with transparent pricing before you commit to anything.
Some patients require preparatory treatment before implant placement — such as a tooth extraction, bone graft, or sinus lift procedure to build adequate bone volume. Not every patient needs this stage, and your scan results will confirm whether it's necessary.
Under local anaesthesia, your implant dentist carefully places the titanium post into the jawbone at the precise site of your missing tooth. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. A temporary restoration is usually fitted the same day so you leave with a complete smile.
This is the critical healing phase. Over the coming months, the titanium fuses with your living bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, you'll have regular check-up appointments at our Richmond practice to monitor progress. You can eat and speak normally throughout.
Once fully integrated, impressions are taken and your bespoke porcelain crown (or bridge/denture) is crafted and fitted. We make final adjustments to ensure a perfect bite. You'll leave with a complete, natural-looking smile and a full aftercare plan to keep your implants healthy for life.
Life-Changing Benefits
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that replicates the complete structure of a natural tooth. Here's why thousands of patients choose implants over dentures or bridges every year.
When a tooth is lost, the underlying bone begins to resorb. Implants stimulate the bone exactly like natural tooth roots, preserving your facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance common with long-term tooth loss.
Custom-crafted to match your existing teeth in colour, shape and size, implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. No one will know you have an implant unless you tell them.
Unlike dentures which can slip or restrict diet, implants are fixed permanently in your jaw. You can bite and chew with the same force as natural teeth — enjoy apples, steak, crusty bread and more without worry.
Traditional bridges require grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth to provide support. Implants stand independently, leaving adjacent teeth completely intact and healthy.
With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years or even a lifetime. Compared to dentures (replaced every 5–8 years) or bridges (10–15 years), implants are often the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Missing teeth can affect your self-esteem, speech and willingness to smile. Implants restore a complete, natural smile permanently — patients consistently report dramatic improvements in confidence and quality of life.
