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
“My first visit to the clinic was very positive. I am extremely anxious at dental appointments but they were so patient with me. Everything was done to minimise my anxiety. I feel confident going ahead now, with a full programme of implant work in the next few months. This is a huge step for me and I have full confidence in the team I met at the clinic who explained the whole procedure to me. Thank you! This dentophobe is actually looking forward to starting treatment.”
“Over the course of the previous 3 months, I’ve been undergoing cosmetic treatment at Hale Dental Clinic. I must say it has been the most pleasant time; watching as my uneven, slightly yellowed teeth have transformed in to an unrecognisable, unbowed, white smile that I never thought I’d have. The treatment was performed by the delightful Sophie Parker. Sophie is a master of the field, who has not only provided me with stellar results, but also with a genuinely friendly, amazing, personal service. Thank you so much again Sophie and Hale Dental clinic. If and when I require further treatment, you are the only place on my list.”
“Many thanks to Dr. Bradshaw and staff at Hale Dental Clinic for all their help with my emergency at very short notice. It was very much appreciated. Thank you.”
“I would highly recommend Hale dental to everyone. The staff are professional, highly skilled, friendly and courteous. I had some serious dental work carried out and the standard of the work is amazing. I had no pain and the standard of care is second to none . I can only say top class and would recommend the skills of this practice from initial consultation to the finished product.”
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.”
“This may seem bizarre but I actually look forward to visiting a Dentist!!! Yes, I know, very strange, however once you visit Hale Dental you will not want to go anywhere else. All of the staff are fabulous. Receptionists, dental nurses, hygienists – all are friendly and welcoming. As for Richard, well he is THE BEST BAR NON. Enough said, I think.”
“I’ve been going to see Richard and the team for several years at Hale Dental. The whole team are super professional and make you feel comfortable the minute you walk in, with a comfortable lounge area and drinks facilities. This is a practice that’s ahead of the game with technology, its always appealed to me to know that you are getting the best service available. Thank you to all the team for everything you do.”
“I have been attending The Hale Dental and Implant Clinic for years! I travel a long distance to attend and would not feel comfortable going to anyone else, especially as they know and understand my dental history! I have always received excellent care within a professional, caring and friendly environment!”
“Such good care at Hale Dental. Everyone there is so kind and efficient- I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend- and I have done!”

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.
