Dental implants
Inside a real implant procedure
A dental implant is a small titanium post that becomes part of the jaw bone and later supports a ceramic crown. These are one real patient's surgery photos and X-ray, unedited.
Placing the implant
The gum is gently opened and the titanium implant is placed in the bone.
Implant in place
The implant sits in the bone and is left to heal, typically for a few months.
Checked on X-ray
An X-ray confirms the position. The crown is made and fitted after healing.
Timelines vary from person to person. Suitability is confirmed after examination.
Composite bonding & ceramic veneers
Two ways to transform a smile
Pick one to see where it does better. The right choice depends on your teeth and is made together at your consultation.
| Porcelain veneers | Composite bonding | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Porcelain made in a dental lab | Resin sculpted by hand on the tooth |
| Tooth preparation | A thin layer of enamel is usually removed | Little or none, often reversible |
| Visits | Usually 2–3 | Often 1 |
| Stain resistance | Very high, keeps its colour | Can pick up stains over time |
| Typical lifespan | Often 10–15 years or more | Often 5–7 years, with polishing |
| Repairs | A chipped veneer is usually replaced | Small chips repaired in one visit |
| Best for | Large changes in colour and shape | Small gaps, chips and edges |
Typical figures from dental literature. Your own outcome depends on your bite, habits and care.

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the treatment and how many teeth are involved. After your examination you receive a written plan with the full cost before anything starts, so you can decide in your own time.
Composite bonding or porcelain veneers?
Bonding is quicker, needs little or no drilling and is easy to repair. Porcelain is more stain-resistant and usually lasts longer, but needs some tooth preparation. Read the full comparison.
Will it look natural?
That is the point of the planning. Shape, length and shade are chosen to suit your face and your other teeth, and you agree the plan before treatment.
How many appointments will I need?
Bonding is often done in one visit after the consultation. Veneers usually take two to three appointments. Implants take several months to allow healing.
