Charles Quail Dentist providing dental implant treatment at Dunluce Dental.


A dental implant is a small, screw-like metal post, usually made of titanium, that is surgically placed into your jawbone to act as a replacement root for a missing tooth. 


We take the time to truly understand you, your oral health and the outcome you wish to receive. Only after a thorough assessment and planning process can we provide you with a bespoke treatment plan, including a clear outline of costs. 


It is important to note that the time spent in the surgery is only a small part of the overall journey. Careful planning, detailed diagnostics and precise laboratory work are essential to achieving predictable, long-lasting results. The time and expertise required behind the scenes are reflected in both the success of your treatment and the fees involved.
