"As I have a huge phobia of dentists, it had been a long time since I last received any dental treatment. However, several issues forced me to finally make an appointment. I had my first visit at the Limes a couple of weeks ago."

The Limes difference
What makes us different
A fully private Gloucester practice with the experience, range and personal care to look after your implant treatment from first call to final crown.
Experienced, skilled team
Our experienced and skilled team delivers a consistent, high standard of care. Andrew Connolly leads implant treatment with an MSc in Implant Dentistry, supported by a wider clinical and hygiene team you'll see at every visit.
Friendly, personal service
From the moment you walk in, the service is personal and friendly. Patients regularly tell us they leave appointments feeling calm, listened to and clear on what's happening next.
One practice, full range of treatment
Implants, dentures, crowns and bridges are all handled in-house on Stroud Road. Consultation, 3D scans, surgery and your final restoration happen with the same team. For complex surgical adjuncts like bone grafts or sinus lifts, we refer to a trusted specialist only when it's clinically the right call for you.
Fully private, no NHS constraints
We're a fully private practice, so we don't compress appointments into NHS time slots. You get the consultation length, the planning detail and the aftercare your treatment actually needs.
How it works
Your implant journey, in three steps
A clear path from the first conversation to your final smile.
1
Free welcome consultation
Sit down with one of our team for a relaxed, no-pressure chat about your situation, your options and what treatment could involve. No clinical work on the day.
2
Planning and placement
If implants are right for you, your full clinical consultation covers 3D scans, impressions and detailed planning, followed by gentle surgery with a 3–6 month healing window — primarily on Stroud Road, with specialist support only where your case calls for it.

Your final smile
A custom crown fitted to look and feel like a natural tooth. Annual hygiene visits then keep it that way for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental implants
How long does an implant treatment take?
Most treatments are completed within 3–6 months from placement to final crown, depending on healing and whether any bone preparation is needed. We'll explain the typical timeline at your free welcome consultation, with precise dates confirmed once your clinical planning is complete.
Is the procedure painful?
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic and most patients report little more than mild soreness for a few days afterwards. We will talk you through pain relief and aftercare in detail before treatment begins.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost depends on your individual case — the number of implants, any preparation work and the type of crown chosen. At your free welcome consultation we'll give you a clear idea of what's involved, with detailed costs confirmed once your clinical planning is complete.
How long do implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular hygienist visits, many patients report their implants lasting 15 years or more. We schedule aftercare visits to help keep yours in great condition.
Am I a suitable candidate for implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are suitable. Your free welcome consultation is a relaxed chat about your situation and options; if implants look right for you, suitability is confirmed at a later clinical consultation that includes any necessary scans.
What about dentures or bridges as an alternative?
We also offer dentures and dental bridges. At your free welcome consultation we'll talk through all the options for your situation, so you can choose what feels right for you — there's no pressure either way.
