Dental Implants
Replace missing teeth with natural-looking dental implants.
The modern way to replace missing teeth, allowing you to relax and feel confident about your smile.
From replacing a single tooth, to a full arch restoration – replacing all the teeth in your lower or upper jaw – implants could provide a permanent solution. Unlike bridges, implants require no modification of the surrounding teeth.
When teeth are extracted or lost the bone that previously supported the tooth is no longer required and begins to deteriorate, leading to changes in your facial appearance. Dental implants stimulate and preserve the jawbone, preventing boneloss and maintaining your facial appearance.

During the initial consultation, your dentist will carry out an assessment to determine your suitability for implants. Most people are suitable for the procedure, but in some cases minor bone grafting is required to ensure that the jaw provides enough support for the new implant. In some circumstances, it may also be necessary to carry out a 3D CBCT scan before your implants are fitted, this allows us to assess the structure of hard and soft tissues, and to ensure that optimal results are achieved.
Your dentist will discuss the appropriate implant options with you and may take digital xrays, a digital scan of your mouth, record your tooth shade, and take photographs to assist our treatment planning. All the options and costs will be disussed wth you and you wil have plenty of oportunity to ask any questions.

FAQs
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated, a crown is attached on top to replace the missing tooth, creating a natural-looking and fully functional result. Implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, as they preserve bone and closely replicate the look and feel of a natural tooth.
The cost of a single dental implant at Maple Leaf Dental in Harrogate typically includes the implant fixture, abutment and crown. Please visit our fees page or contact us directly for current pricing. Finance options are available to help spread the cost of implant treatment over monthly payments.
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone volume are suitable candidates for dental implants. Certain medical conditions, medications and lifestyle factors such as smoking can affect suitability and healing. At Maple Leaf Dental, we carry out a thorough assessment including digital scans to evaluate bone levels, gum health and overall suitability before recommending treatment.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant fixture, once fully integrated into the jawbone, is highly durable. The crown on top may require replacement after 10–20 years depending on wear. Regular dental check-ups, professional hygiene appointments and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining your implant long term.
The implant process typically takes between three and six months from placement to final crown fitting. This includes a healing period after the implant is placed, during which it integrates with the jawbone. Some patients may require additional preparation such as bone grafting, which can extend the timeline. We will give you a clear treatment plan at your initial assessment.
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure but not pain during the appointment. Some soreness and swelling in the days following surgery is normal and typically managed well with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients find the procedure more straightforward than expected, and we will ensure you are comfortable throughout.
Leaving a gap after tooth loss can cause surrounding teeth to drift, create bite problems, increase strain on remaining teeth and lead to bone loss in the jaw. Over time, this can affect both your appearance and oral health. Dental implants are one of the most effective ways to prevent bone loss and maintain the structure of your smile.
Yes, in many cases — though patients who have had missing teeth for a long time may have experienced some bone loss, which can affect suitability. A bone graft may be required before implant placement to build sufficient bone volume. A thorough assessment at Maple Leaf Dental will determine the best approach for your individual situation.
Dental implants should be cared for in the same way as natural teeth — brush twice daily, use interdental brushes or floss, and attend regular check-ups and hygiene appointments. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol also helps protect implant longevity. Our hygiene team at Maple Leaf Dental will advise you on the best tools and techniques for keeping your implant clean.
Dental implants are fixed permanently in the jaw and function like natural teeth, with no need for removal or adhesives. Dentures are removable prosthetics that sit on the gum. While dentures are a lower-cost option, implants offer greater stability, comfort and help preserve bone structure. Most patients find implants significantly more comfortable and convenient in daily life.
For most suitable candidates, dental implants offer exceptional long-term value. They look and feel like natural teeth, require no special maintenance, and can last a lifetime with good care. Compared to bridges or dentures, implants preserve bone, don't affect neighbouring teeth, and typically provide a better long-term outcome for your oral health and quality of life.
Implant failure is uncommon but can occur, most often due to infection, insufficient bone integration or certain health conditions. Smoking significantly increases the risk of failure. At Maple Leaf Dental, we carry out thorough assessments before treatment and provide detailed aftercare guidance to minimise risk. If any concerns arise during healing, we will address them promptly.
