Dental implants FAQs
I am worried dental implants will hurt
Make sure you go for trust and experience. An experienced oral surgeon will provide good local anesthesia. The majority of patients say the treatment is relatively painless.
How much do dental implants cost?
The costs vary considerably. Most dental surgeons will allow you to pay monthly to reduce the initial costs significantly. The price depends on complexity, cosmetic demands and many other factors. To get an implant price from a telephone discussion is not always accurate, so request a free consultation.
Is it expensive?
It is the more expensive aspect of dental treatment. We are replacing all your teeth in the jaw. But if you look after them – you will get many many years of trouble free, natural beautiful teeth.
Am I too old for dental implants?
No. It is very rare to be too old.
I am worried they will fail, is there dental implants insurance?
There is insurance. Many patients contact their insurance broker to discuss options. They are more qualified to give you this advice.
What happens if they fail?
Then can fail but we are so confident we offer a warranty. 5 years. After 5 years you can take out your own insurance.
Will I get screwed in teeth day 1?
Our aim is to do this yes. This means no dentures even during the healing phase.
Will they look fake?
You can have them look as real as you want. As well as picking the colour, shape & size. The finished teeth are handcrafted for you. So extremely natural.
Will I get screwed in teeth day 1?
Our aim is to do this yes. This means no dentures even during the healing phase.
Will I need to take time off work after I have had a permanent tooth implant?
It is rare to have to take time off. As well as this, we can make sure you are not left with a gap during the healing phase.
I have been told I don’t have enough bone. Does that mean I can’t have screw in teeth?
This usually means the All On 4 is suitable for you. The implants and procedure is designed for patients with advanced bone loss.
Will I get food stuck under the bridge?
Like your normal teeth, the bridges need cleaning regularly.
Our 5* Reviews
“I am really impressed with the treatment I had here. I was completely pain free during my implants procedure. The staff are all very professional and caring. I was contacted by Richard and Ed over the following couple of days to ask if everything was ok. Couldn’t speak highly enough of all the staff.”
“My local Dentist recommended I consult Richard and the Team at Hale Dental & Implant Clinic regarding issues I was having with an old implant. Despite being officially closed over the Christmas / New Year period, Richard reviewed X-rays and photos of my teeth and arranged to see me at the earliest opportunity. I subsequently received treatment that was simply first class in all aspects and have no hesitation is recommending to others.”
“Once I had made my decision to have a large tooth from the back of my mouth removed (after speaking to 2 consultants at the practice to get all the options clear in my mind), my appointment was quickly made and even though I was quite nervous Richard was so kind and patient with me. It was quite a difficult extraction (but absolutely no pain) and I expected to be sore and swollen the next day – but to my surprise all was fine. I can highly recommend Hale Dental and especially Richard.”
“I found Hale Dental to a very Professional practice and the premises are very clean. The practice has all the latest equipment and experience which meant that they were able to deal with all my dental needs. The staff were also both very efficient and polite. I was kept informed with every stage of my treatment plan and I found the treatment to be competitively priced.”
“I would highly recommend Hale Dental and Implant Clinic to everyone. They are not just professional but extremely kind, helpful and sensitive at what can be a very nervous time. From Hayley on reception who was so friendly and took time out to explain there were road works and it may delay my journey, to Donna, my care coordinator, who was so positive and reassuring to Jonny my dentist who is the most understanding and patient practitioner I have come across in all my time visiting the dentist. I would not go any where else. Thank you to all of you.”
“Thank you to all the staff at Hale Dental Clinic who were kind and supportive throughout my treatment. I am really happy with the results and can’t stop smiling.”
“I have a phobia of the dentist after previous bad experiences. Dentist Sophie is amazing. I wouldn’t see anyone else. She now looks after my little boys teeth too and is great with him. The hygienist is brilliant too, talked to me step by step about what was happening and what I could do better to keep my teeth healthy. All the staff at Hale are really friendly and welcoming. The ladies on the desk are always really kind to my little boy. Thanks to everyone and we look forward to our next visit.”
“..Sophie is a lovely, gentle, professional and talented lady, and I am so incredibly pleased with the small (yet amazing) change she’s made to my smile! I keep smiling at myself in the mirror!! 🤣 I feel like I want to return because it was a lovely experience, but I have nothing to return for. You can even watch TV whilst having treatment, there is a TV on the ceiling! I feel this would help to relax nervous patients. I will be referring anyone I know to Sophie, because I’d know that they are in safe hands..”
Really happy with the service provided, special thank you to Nina, who was really patient with me (I am a very nervous customer). This is not the first time I attend Hale Dental, considering it is quite far from where I live, I will still be using their services. Highly recommend.”

After receiving all my wedding photos I can’t thank Sophie enough for honestly giving me the most perfect smile. I couldn’t imagine having all these wedding photos of the most special day of my life with my old uneven teeth.
