Replace missing teeth with natural‑looking dental implants
"I hate my dentures, I struggle to eat, I feel embarrassed to smile.”
We understand.
Dental implant treatment at Floss & Smile is deeply personal to us - inspired by the experiences that shaped our journey into implant dentistry and our commitment to helping patients regain comfort, confidence and the simple joy of eating and smiling again.

We’ll guide you.
Increase your confidence and get the smile you deserve with our range of dental implant treatments that achieve natural results.
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth using a small titanium post placed into the jawbone with a custom-made crown attached on top. It looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth while protecting the surrounding teeth and bone.

If you are missing several teeth, multiple implants can be used to support individual crowns or an implant-supported bridge. This restores your smile securely without relying on neighbouring teeth for support.
Full mouth dental implants (All-on-4 or All-on-6) replace a full arch of missing teeth using four to six strategically placed implants. A fixed set of natural-looking teeth is attached to the implants, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence again.
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that are securely anchored to dental implants in the jaw. They provide far greater stability than traditional dentures, helping prevent slipping while improving comfort and chewing ability.

Dental implants don’t just replace teeth - they restore how you feel every day.
Tooth loss can:
- Make you feel uncomfortable about smiling or eating in public
- Affect your self confidence and impact your daily life
- Cause the jaw bone to shrink from lack of stimulation
- Make you look prematurely aged
- Affect your bite, your face shape and your ability to eat
- If untreated, can cause loss of bone in the jaw and can affect the position of surrounding teeth

Are dental implants the right choice for me?
Whether you’ve lost teeth due to an accident, tooth decay or a gum disease, a dental implant serves as a realistic substitute for a natural tooth.
At Floss & Smile, we have treated patients of all ages, and during your dental implant consultation, we will assess your specific situation in preparation for offering you the very best treatment.

At Floss & Smile, we improve your quality of life with long-lasting, natural-feeling implant solutions designed around you.
A dental implant can replace a single tooth or several teeth, depending on your needs, and is designed to look, feel and function just like a natural tooth. Unlike alternatives such as bridges or dentures, implants help preserve your jawbone and provide a long-term, reliable solution.
Your natural tooth roots play an important role in keeping your jawbone strong. When teeth are missing, the bone can weaken and shrink over time. Dental implants act like natural roots, helping to maintain bone strength and prevent deterioration.
Replacing missing teeth with implants helps maintain the structure of your face. By supporting the jawbone, implants prevent the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss, helping you look and feel more like yourself.
Dental implants are a long-term, highly effective solution. When placed by experienced clinicians and properly cared for, they are designed to last for many years - often a lifetime.
Traditional dentures can move, require adhesives, and need regular maintenance or replacement. Dental implants offer a fixed, secure solution - allowing you to eat, speak and smile without worry or restriction.
Removable dentures can affect how you pronounce certain words and take time to adjust to. Because implants function like natural teeth, your speech remains clear, natural and effortless.
Unlike bridges, which may require neighbouring healthy teeth to be altered, implants are placed directly into the jawbone. This protects surrounding teeth and helps prevent them from shifting over time.

Dental implants at Floss and Smile

Our patients get extra reassurance by having access to a text mobile 24/7 during and after the treatment.
I have a loose denture. Can dental implants help me?
Yes they can. Dental implants are an excellent solution for the millions of people who have loose dentures and offer many advantages over conventional dentures. Conventional dentures are often uncomfortable and, due to the movement, limit a person’s ability to speak and eat normally. Because of this, many people feel self-conscious wearing their dentures. The dentures can be secured into place by locking on to 2-4 implants. Implants are commonly used to replace individual missing teeth, but they can also be used to secure or stabilise loose dentures in either the upper or lower jaws. Instead of having a crown (cap) fitted to the top of the implant a precision-made attachment is fitted which inserts into the underneath surface of the denture, securing the denture to the implant. In the lower jaw this can be achieved with as few as two implants. If there is sufficient bone available and you are willing to have more implants inserted then you can often be fitted with a completely solid set of teeth attached to the dental implants (a full-arch bridge). This set of teeth would stay in permanently and would look and feel very similar to a natural set of teeth.
Is dental implant placement painful?
Dental implants are typically placed under local anaesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment. If you are very nervous or suffer from dental phobia we can offer you sedation. Our whole team has trained extensively in caring for nervous patients, and over the years, we've successfully treated many people with high levels of anxiety. We've not only transformed their smiles and improved their oral health but also significantly reduced their dental treatment-related anxiety.
How long does it take to place dental implants?
Your dental implants may be placed in as little as 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the location and the number of implants being placed. Your dentist will be able to give you a clear idea of the treatment time during your first appointment with us.
When will I receive my new teeth?
Treatment time varies for each patient. Typically, you will have some type of temporary teeth until your implants bond to the bone. We can provide a time estimate based on your treatment needs, during your initial consultation here in Dunstable.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Home care for your implants consists of brushing and flossing. Regular dental visits are required for long term health and success.
How long can dental implants last?
Implants can last many years if cared for properly. Many implants have been in place for more than 40 years.
How does the long term value of dental implants compare to other options?
Dental implants are low maintenance and provide stability and confidence in your smile. Therefore, the long term value of dental implants far exceeds conventional treatment options.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes, dental implants are considered a safe and effective treatment option for replacing missing teeth. At Floss and Smile, our dentists have a special interest in dental implant surgery and have restored hundreds of smiles over the years, using gold standard implants.
How long does it take to get dental implants?
The journey to receiving dental implants varies based on personal factors like oral health, potential need for procedures such as bone grafting, and the body's healing response. Typically, from the first consultation to achieving a complete restoration, the process spans several months. This period allows for the implant to fuse securely with the jawbone (known as osseointegration), a critical phase lasting approximately 3 to 6 months.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Dental implant treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable it is, and any mild discomfort afterwards can usually be managed easily. We also offer sedation options if you feel anxious.
Can I get dental implants if I don’t have enough bone?
Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone, you may still be suitable for dental implants following a full assessment. We use advanced 3D scans to evaluate your bone, and in many cases additional treatments such as bone grafting or specialist implant techniques can help make implants possible.
What happens if a dental implant doesn’t heal as expected?
Dental implants have a very high success rate when carefully planned and maintained. In the unlikely event that an implant doesn’t heal as expected, we will support you every step of the way and guide you through the most appropriate next steps. Your peace of mind is important to us, which is why implants are covered by our one-year guarantee.
Are your dental implants guaranteed?
Yes - for your peace of mind, all dental implants at Floss & Smile are covered by our one-year guarantee.
If your dental implant needs to be replaced within the first 12 months, there will be no charge for the implant itself, provided certain conditions are met.
The guarantee may not apply in the following situations:
- Additional treatment (such as bone grafting) was recommended before implant placement but was not carried out
- A different treatment option was advised as more suitable but not followed
- The restoration provided was intended to be temporary
- A like-for-like replacement is not clinically appropriate
- Further treatment has been carried out on the tooth or implant since the original procedure
Why do you use UK-based dental laboratories?
We choose to work with trusted UK-based dental laboratories to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety and reliability throughout your treatment. These laboratories are highly regulated and GDC-compliant, providing exceptional craftsmanship, full traceability of materials, and restorations that are durable, natural-looking and tailored to you.
Working with local laboratories also allows for faster turnaround times and close collaboration between our clinical team and technicians, resulting in more precise, accurate outcomes. In addition, UK labs follow strict infection control and safety regulations, giving you complete peace of mind at every stage of your treatment.
