Do implants hurt? Will everyone notice? Am I the right age? If these questions sound familiar, you are not alone. Dental implants are trusted, yet old ideas still linger. At NUYU Dental & Aesthetics in Cheltenham, we combine calm, concierge-style care with digital planning so you feel informed, relaxed, and confident.
Implant dentistry has evolved quickly. Stories about long appointments or old-style impressions do not reflect today’s approach. With digital planning, 3D scans, and guided placement, every step is designed around you. That means precise positioning, smoother healing, and a natural result that feels part of you.
The fact: Most people are surprised by how comfortable treatment feels. Detailed digital planning sets the exact position, angle, and depth before your visit. At NUYU, we use iTero scanning, Cone Beam CT, and digital planning for accuracy. Guided placement helps protect the gums and supports steady healing. You will have local anaesthetic on the day, and most people find any tenderness manageable with over-the-counter relief. If you feel anxious, we can explore comfort options and a pace that suits you.
How that helps you feel: More ease on the day, more confidence as you heal, more time for life.
The fact: A dental implant is a small, precision-made titanium post that acts like a new root. It needs time to naturally integrate with your bone, which is what creates long-term stability. The good news is that digital workflows streamline the parts we can control. At NUYU, custom placement guides and well-planned visits often mean fewer appointments. In suitable cases, you can have a temporary tooth while you heal, so you can smile in photos and enjoy social moments.
How that helps you feel: In control of your timeline, comfortable in daily life, clear on each step.
The fact: Many adults are great candidates, whether a tooth was lost through injury, decay, or a natural absence. It is less about age and more about gum health, bone volume, overall health, and lifestyle. If needed, bone grafting or sinus lifting can prepare the area for a stable result.
How that helps you feel: Reassured that options exist and tailored to your needs.
The fact: Natural aesthetics are planned, not guessed. With high-resolution scans and a digital smile preview, we design shape, shade, and proportions to suit your features. NUYU’s customised ceramics and careful colour-matching help your implant crown blend beautifully with neighbouring teeth.
How that helps you feel: Confident in photos, relaxed in conversation, happy with a smile that feels like you.
The fact: Implants are an investment designed for confidence and long-term comfort. Over time, they can be more cost-effective than repeated denture or bridge replacements. They also help maintain jawbone volume, which supports your facial shape. NUYU offers bespoke finance options. We explain each stage and fee clearly, so you can choose what works for you.
How that helps you feel: Clear on costs, empowered to plan, confident in value.
Every stage is guided by high-accuracy diagnostics and planning. It is all designed for comfort, clarity, and consistent results.
Advanced 3D iTero scanning: Fast, precise digital impressions without traditional moulds. This boosts accuracy and can reduce chair time.
CBCT imaging: Detailed 3D views of bone, sinuses, and nerves to support safe, precise planning.
Digital planning: Intelligent planning helps set ideal position and depth for a stable, natural look.
Guided placement: Custom placement guides translate the plan into exact positioning, helping to minimise tissue disruption.
Digital smile preview: See a realistic mock-up before we begin, so we can refine your goals together.
Together, these steps help you feel prepared, comfortable, and confident from start to finish.
Imagine enjoying your favourite meals again, smiling at a family event, and feeling like yourself at work. That is the difference a well-planned implant can make.
