Bollington Dental Practice

Replace missing teeth for good

At Bollington Dental Practice, we place & restore dental implants with custom-made crowns or bridges.

We provide the placement and the restoration work in-house, so there is no referral to another practice and one team is responsible for your result from start to finish. Your replacement teeth are functional, natural-looking, and comfortable.

Many of our implant patients travel to us from Macclesfield and the surrounding villages, and we’re just a ten-minute drive from the town centre with free parking beside the practice. Find out more about visiting us as your dentist in Macclesfield.

What happens during implant treatment

  1. Consultation and imaging (£180). A detailed assessment of your teeth, gums and bone, with the imaging needed to plan your case properly.
  2. A written plan with the exact cost. You will know precisely what is involved and what it costs before anything goes ahead.
  3. Implant placement. The implant is placed under local anaesthetic here at the practice, then left to bond with the bone over a few months.
  4. Your new tooth. A custom-made crown or bridge is fitted to the implant, matched to your natural teeth.

Dental implant costs

An implant consultation costs £180, and a single implant with its restoration starts from £3,000. The consultation fee includes the assessment and imaging, and you will receive a written treatment plan with the exact cost before anything goes ahead. All prices are on our fees page, and our guide to what dental implants cost in the UK explains what is included and why prices vary so much between practices.

Dental implants in Macclesfield

If you are looking for dental implants in Macclesfield, it is worth knowing where the work is actually carried out. A number of practices assess you locally and then refer you elsewhere for the surgical stage, which means a second team, a second location and often a second set of fees. We place and restore implants here at the practice, so the person planning your case is the person doing it, and you come back to the same familiar surgery at every stage.

You will find us at 19 Bollington Road, Bollington, Macclesfield SK10 5EJ, roughly ten minutes from Macclesfield town centre on the main road through Bollington, with free parking directly outside. Patients travel to us from Macclesfield, Prestbury, Tytherington, Poynton and across the SK10 area.

Frequently asked questions

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular hygiene care, implants routinely last decades, and many last a lifetime. They are the closest thing dentistry has to a natural tooth: fixed, comfortable, and strong enough to eat anything.

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Placement is done under local anaesthetic and most patients are surprised how comfortable it is, often comparing it to having a filling. Expect some soreness for a few days afterwards, usually managed with ordinary painkillers.

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Most healthy adults are. What matters is healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant, which is exactly what the consultation and imaging assess. Smoking and untreated gum disease reduce success rates, and we will always tell you honestly if an implant is not the right option for you.

What if I am missing several teeth?

You rarely need one implant per missing tooth. Two or more implants can support a bridge, and implants can also secure loose dentures. We will talk through every option, including conventional bridges and dentures, before you commit to anything.

How long does the whole process take?

A straightforward single implant usually takes three to six months from placement to final crown, because the implant needs time to bond with the bone before it can carry a tooth. Larger cases, or those needing bone grafting, take longer. You will have a timeline specific to your case in your written plan before treatment starts.

The implant placement process

  • Assessment and planning: Your dentist and the implant dentist will evaluate your oral health and organise 3D CBCT scans to assess bone quality, position, and planning for implant placement.
  • Tooth extraction (if required): Any remaining damaged teeth may need to be removed before placing the implant.
  • Assessment and planning: Your dentist and the implant dentist will evaluate your oral health and organise 3D CBCT scans to assess bone quality, position, and planning for implant placement.
  • Tooth extraction (if required): Any remaining damaged teeth may need to be removed before placing the implant.
  • Surgical placement of the implant: The titanium implant is inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Sedation can be used during the placement to make the appointment more comfortable.
  • Healing and osseointegration: The implant integrates with the jawbone over 3-6 months, providing a stable foundation for the crown or bridge. You may need a temporary solution for your missing teeth during this healing phase.
  • Restoration: Once healing is complete, we take impressions or scans, then fit a custom-made crown or bridge designed to match your natural teeth.

Caring for nervous patients

We understand dental implants can sound intimidating. Our team will explain every step, answer your questions, and ensure the restoration process is comfortable and reassuring.

Caring for your implant restorations

Proper care ensures long-term success and comfort:

  • Brush twice daily using an electric toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
  • Floss or use interdental brushes around the implant to remove plaque.
  • Attend regular check-ups to monitor the health of the implant and surrounding gum tissue.

Timeline

  • Simple single implants: often completed in 3-6 months, including healing.
  • Larger cases with multiple implants or bone grafting may take longer, depending on individual needs.

Benefits of implant restorations

  • Fixed, strong, and natural-looking teeth.
  • Preserves jawbone and facial structure.
  • Restores chewing, speech, and smile aesthetics.
  • Can replace single or multiple teeth without affecting other healthy teeth.

Fantastic care. My teenage daughter broke her front tooth badly. Within 4 hours of calling, they were able to squeeze in an emergency appointment, and Ellie and the team did the most fantastic cosmetic repair, such that it looked like nothing had happened at all. Really good service, and really appreciated. Thank you.

I hadn’t visited a dentist for many years as I wear dentures. However, I needed some new dentures, and as I live in Bollington, I decided to book at my local surgery. I cannot praise them enough. They were very easy to deal with, and Ellie, the dentist who took care of me, was very helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend the surgery.
