Dental implants
At No45 Dental, we understand the impact tooth loss can have—not only on your smile, but on your confidence, comfort, and overall wellbeing. Dental implants offer a long-term, highly effective way to replace missing teeth with strength, security, and a beautifully natural appearance. Whether you're missing a single tooth or require a full arch restoration, we provide advanced, patient-focused care led by highly experienced implant clinicians.
A lasting solution for a complete, confident smile
A lasting, natural-looking solution
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, placed carefully into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Once healed, they restore both function and appearance—allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Because implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, they’re one of the most conservative and reliable ways to replace missing teeth, with long-term benefits for your bone health and facial structure.
Frequently asked questions
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, they can support a crown, bridge, or denture, creating a natural-looking and secure replacement that feels and functions like your own teeth.
What are dental implants?
Full arch dental implants
Most people are suitable for dental implants, but we’ll carry out a full assessment of your oral and general health, including digital scans and x-rays, to determine if implants are the right option for you. Good bone density and healthy gums are important for long-term success, but in many cases, we can offer bone grafting or other preparatory treatments if needed.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Implant treatment is typically carried out in stages. First, the implant is placed into the jaw under local anaesthetic, followed by a period of healing. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, we’ll fit your final restoration—custom-made to match your natural teeth in both form and colour. Throughout the process, we’ll guide you at every stage and make sure you feel comfortable and well-informed.
What is the implant process like?
Most patients find implant placement more comfortable than expected. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and many say it's no more uncomfortable than having a filling. You may experience some mild soreness or swelling afterwards, which is typically well managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Does dental implant treatment hurt?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last many years—and often a lifetime. They are considered a highly reliable and durable option for tooth replacement, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and excellent ongoing dental care.

Smile in a Day
All-on-4 dental implants
For patients facing complete tooth loss—or those struggling with loose dentures—Smile in a Day (also known as All-on-4) offers a transformative solution. This advanced technique allows a full set of fixed teeth to be placed on the same day as implant surgery, restoring your smile, confidence, and ability to eat and speak comfortably.
At No45 Dental, Dr Adam Slade leads our Smile in a Day service, bringing years of experience and specialist knowledge in full-arch rehabilitation. The treatment involves placing four or more carefully positioned dental implants into the jaw, onto which a custom-made bridge is attached—delivering immediate results with long-term stability.
This technique is ideal for patients with failing teeth, severe bone loss, or long-term denture wear. Adam will guide you through every step of the journey—from detailed digital planning and surgery to the final aesthetic result—ensuring you feel informed, supported, and comfortable throughout.
Smile in a Day is more than just a dental treatment—it’s a life-changing experience, giving you back a confident, functional, and beautifully natural-looking smile in just one visit.
