Dental implants at Bupa Dental Care Poundbury

We offer the smile in a day, same-day implant technique to replace missing teeth with implants in one day. Get in touch with us to book an initial assessment so we can talk you through your options.
Our implant team
Our implant dentist, Theo, joined us in 2016 and is passionate about implants. He’s been placing, restoring and replacing dental implants for over a decade and holds a diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons
We understand that some people may be anxious about visiting the dentist and the thought of having implants can be a little daunting. Our team will go the extra mile to make you feel at-ease during your treatment.
Supporting implant treatments
As well as placing implants, we carry out bone grafts at the practice, which are sometimes needed before you have an implant placed. If you need a bone graft, we’ll talk you through everything you need to know and reassure you before the procedure.
Our on-site CBCT scanner allows us to create a 3D model of your jaw to understand where exactly your implants should be placed.
Referrals welcome
We accept referrals from other dentists for dental implants and CBCT scans. Get in touch to learn more about our referral services or refer a patient.
Implant procedure
Learn about the step-by-step treatment process for having dental implants, from your initial consultation right through to aftercare.
First, you’ll have a free* phone consultation with one of our dedicated treatment coordinators. We’ll talk you through your options, give you an indication of price and can book you in for an initial assessment with your implant dentist if you choose to go ahead.
Clinical assessment
Next, you’ll have a clinical assessment to make sure you’re eligible for treatment. Your dentist will take X-rays and decide exactly where your implants need to be placed. They’ll also talk you through the cost of treatment and let you know if you need a supporting treatment, such as a bone graft.
Placing your implants
This is where your dental implants are fixed into your jawbone. It’s a surgical procedure normally performed under local anaesthetic, so it’s relatively pain-free. If you feel nervous, your dentist may be able to offer sedation to put you at ease. Your bone and gums will need time to heal before attaching your replacement teeth, so we’ll fit you with some temporary teeth until you’re ready.
Fitting your replacement teeth
It’s normal to wait four to eight months for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone, before your permanent, replacement teeth are fitted. They will be custom-made to fit the size, shape and colour of your existing teeth.
Aftercare
Keeping your implants clean and healthy is no more difficult than it is with your natural teeth. But if you find any areas tricky to reach, or if you come across any problems, we’re here to help. We’ll provide you with all the aftercare advice you need to have a successful implant.
No, orthodontics for adults is becoming more and more common. We can talk through your options with you.
We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.
Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.
Fillings repair small holes in your tooth enamel. If they aren’t filled, the decay will deepen. You’ll start to feel pain, and you could end up needing root canal treatment, which is much more significant and costs more. So although you might not feel pain right now, it’s best to repair these holes as soon as possible.
