What type of dental implants do you need?
Bone Reconstruction for Dental Implants
Been told you don’t have enough bone for implants?
Bone loss doesn’t always mean your implant journey has to end. Our advanced bone grafting, guided bone regeneration and sinus lift procedures can help overcome complex challenges and create a strong, stable foundation for dental implants—even where significant bone has been lost.
Using detailed assessment, advanced 3D imaging and carefully planned surgical techniques, we develop highly personalised treatment plans designed around your anatomy, goals and long-term oral health. Our expertise allows us to manage challenging cases with precision and confidence, helping to make implant treatment possible for more patients.
Your plan will clearly explain the recommended procedure, healing time, costs and alternatives, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Dental Implant FAQs in Dorchester
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With good oral hygiene and regular maintenance, they can last many years — often decades.
At your consultation, we’ll assess your individual case and explain exactly what you can expect long-term.
Can I have dental implants if I’ve been told I have bone loss?
In many cases, yes. Modern implant techniques and bone grafting mean that even patients who have previously been told they’re “not suitable” can often be treated successfully.
We use 3D scanning to assess this properly — so you’ll get a clear, honest answer at your consultation.
Why are dental implants more expensive than dentures or bridges?
Dental implants involve advanced planning, precision surgery, and high-quality materials designed to last.
While the initial cost is higher, many patients choose implants because they are more stable, more comfortable, and a long-term solution.
We’ll always explain your options clearly so you can make the right decision for you.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Most patients report only mild soreness afterwards — similar to a tooth extraction — which settles quickly.
We’ll guide you through the entire process so you feel confident and well looked after.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on your situation. Some patients can have fixed teeth on the same day, while others may require a healing period before final teeth are fitted.
We’ll give you a clear timeline from the start, so you know exactly what to expect.
What’s the next step if I’m considering dental implants?
The best place to start is with a consultation, where we can assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and explain your options clearly.
There’s no pressure — just honest advice so you can decide what feels right for you.
