"Most people who think they aren't, are."
Including people who've been told no elsewhere. The only way to know for sure is a free consultation.
If you have failing, missing, or no teeth, and you want a fixed solution, SureFix® is almost certainly an option for you.
The only way to know for sure is to come and see us. The consultation is free, and you'll leave knowing where you stand.
Six patient quotes we hear week in, week out. With six honest answers.
This is exactly the situation SureFix® was designed for. Whether you have four missing teeth or no teeth at all, the treatment plan is the same: a full set of fixed teeth supported by implants. If your remaining teeth are unstable, broken, or causing pain, we extract and replace them as part of the same procedure. You don't lose teeth twice.
SureFix® replaces dentures with fixed teeth that stay in. No adhesive. No removal at night. No more covering your mouth when you laugh. Most of our denture-replacement patients tell us they wish they'd done it years ago. If you're wearing dentures right now, you're already past the harder decision: losing the teeth. The next decision is easier.
Implant suitability depends heavily on the experience of the team assessing you. We're the largest implant team in North Wales, meaning we see more cases, and more complex cases, than any single-dentist practice. The most common reasons people get turned away, like not enough bone, gum disease, or previous implant failures, are all things our team plans for routinely. We won't promise an outcome before we've seen you. But we will give you a real answer where you may not have had one before.
Most medical conditions are not a barrier to SureFix®. They mean we plan more carefully, sometimes liaise with your GP or specialist, and adjust the treatment to suit. Bring your medications and any letters from your medical team to your consultation. We'll tell you honestly what your condition means, if anything, for treatment.
Nearly all SureFix® patients are nervous. This is treatment most people have put off for years, sometimes decades. Local anaesthetic always. Sedation available. We go at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and never push you to make a decision in the chair.
→ Read how we look after nervous patientsSureFix® starts from £11,250 per jaw at the Essential tier. Finance is available, with monthly options that bring treatment within reach for most patients. Your consultation is free, with no obligation, so you'll know exactly what your treatment would cost before any financial decision. Most patients tell us afterwards that they could afford it. They just hadn't done the maths until they spoke to us.
We believe in being honest about what we can and can't do. Some situations need to be addressed before SureFix® becomes possible. A few make SureFix® unsuitable altogether. This is not common, but it does happen.
We'd treat the gum disease first, then plan SureFix®.
Significantly lowers implant success rates. We'll discuss this openly with you.
These need careful clinical assessment.
Extra planning is needed and sometimes treatment isn't possible.
SureFix® is an adult treatment; jaw growth needs to be complete.
Even in these cases, we explain why and what your options are. We won't refuse you a consultation, and we won't refuse you treatment without a conversation.
A clinical examination of your teeth and gums, including any teeth giving you trouble.
High-resolution imaging that shows us exactly how much bone you have to work with, in three dimensions.
Your medications, conditions and any relevant correspondence from your GP or specialists.
What you've struggled with, what you've avoided, what you'd like to be different, and what success looks like for you.
What's involved, what each option costs, and which we'd recommend for your situation.
You leave knowing whether SureFix® is right for you, what your treatment would look like, and what it would cost. Nothing is decided that day unless you want it to be.
Our implant team is the largest in North Wales. Read about them, what they specialise in, and how they came to be at West End Dental.
Possibly, but not always. A CBCT scan at your consultation tells us exactly how much bone you have. SureFix® uses techniques that often allow implants to be placed in available bone without grafts. Where grafts are needed, they can usually be done at the same time as implant placement.
Yes, but you should know that smoking significantly lowers implant success rates and increases the risk of long-term complications. We discuss this with you openly. Many patients use SureFix® as the prompt to quit, and we'll support you in doing so if you want.
Yes. Many patients have SureFix® on one jaw only, most often the upper, where bone loss tends to happen faster. The other jaw might need different treatment, or might be healthy enough to leave alone. We plan each jaw on its own merits.
Severe bone loss is the situation we're best equipped to handle. SureFix® uses techniques designed specifically for patients with reduced bone, including angled implants that anchor into stronger areas of the jaw. Bone loss is rarely a barrier; it's usually something we plan around.
Not always. If your remaining teeth are healthy and well-positioned, we may keep them. If they're failing, contributing to gum disease, or in the way of implant placement, we'd remove them as part of the SureFix® procedure. Your consultation will tell you exactly what's planned for your existing teeth.
"The hardest part isn't the treatment, it's making the decision. We can help you with both."
A relaxed conversation, with the scans and the time to give you a real answer.
