Over Woodhead: why Glossop patients choose Deepcar

Glossop's own practices offer implants, one or two with same-day teeth, and a couple publish a starting price of around £2,000. Beyond that, most say ask at consultation. What no Glossop page does is discuss what can go wrong. Implant dentistry is surgery, and the honest version of the sales pitch is that it works very well for most people, some of the time it does not, and you deserve to know the difference before you pay. Glossop usually looks west to Stockport and Manchester for private dentistry; the Woodhead Pass makes the Yorkshire side an option too.

Deepcar Dental Care is 40 minutes east over the A628, in Deepcar just past Stocksbridge. Implants are placed and restored by Dr Ibraheem Ijaz, who has placed over 200 since 2022 and holds a postgraduate diploma in implant dentistry, with visiting implant clinician Mohammed Anabtawi on complex surgical cases. Every risk on this page is discussed again, in person, at the consultation, and the ones that apply to you are written on your plan. Prices are on the fees page; opening is 8am to 8pm seven days a week.

The risks of dental implants, stated plainly

Most implants integrate, work and stay. Here is what happens to the rest, roughly in the order you would meet it.

Swelling, bruising and soreness.

Expected, not a complication. Worst on day two, gone by the end of the week. Bruising on the cheek or neck after a lower implant looks dramatic and is harmless.

Early failure.

A few implants in every hundred never bond to the bone. It shows up in the first three months as looseness or a dull ache. The implant is removed under local anaesthetic, the site heals for about three months, and a new one is placed; the second attempt usually succeeds. Smoking is the single biggest avoidable cause.

Infection.

Uncommon with clean surgery; treated with cleaning and, where there is spreading swelling, antibiotics.

Nerve injury.

In the lower back jaw the nerve to your lip and chin runs through a canal that the implant must stay clear of. Damage causes numbness or tingling of the lip, usually temporary, occasionally permanent. This is why we plan on a CBCT scan and not a flat X-ray, and why we keep a 2 mm margin.

Sinus involvement.

Upper back implants sit close to the sinus. A small perforation of its lining is usually patched on the day; rarely an implant has to be taken out and the site left to heal.

Damage to a neighbouring root.

Rare, and again the reason for 3D planning.

Aesthetic problems.

On a front tooth, the gum can recede over years and show a dark line at the edge of the crown, or the gum between teeth may not fill in completely. Thin gum, a high smile line and heavy bone loss all raise this risk, and we will tell you if you have them.

Peri-implantitis.

Gum disease around the implant, years later, leading to bone loss. It is the main cause of late failure, more likely in smokers and people with a history of gum disease, and largely prevented by cleaning and hygienist visits.

Mechanical wear.

Screws loosen, porcelain chips. These are repairs, not failures, and screw-retained crowns make them straightforward.

Medicine-related bone problems.

Patients on intravenous bisphosphonates or denosumab risk jawbone that will not heal. Tablet bisphosphonates for osteoporosis carry a much smaller risk that we discuss with you and your GP.

How we reduce them: a CBCT scan for every case, established Neodent, Straumann and Nobel Biocare systems, treating gum disease before surgery, asking smokers to stop through the healing months, and one dentist responsible from start to finish. And if something does go wrong, it is managed here, not referred away. More on the treatment itself is on the implants hub.

The Woodhead Pass and the A616 to Deepcar

From Glossop take the A57 to Hollingworth and join the A628 Woodhead Pass eastbound, over the moor and past the reservoirs to the Flouch roundabout. Turn onto the A616 towards Stocksbridge, drop down past Langsett, and carry on through Stocksbridge onto Manchester Road; Deepcar Dental Care is number 334 with free parking outside. Allow 40 minutes on a clear day. Woodhead closes in snow and high winds, and when it does we rebook without fuss, so do not attempt it. The Snake Pass and the A6102 through Hillsborough is the longer alternative. Ground-floor surgeries.

Questions, answered

Questions from Glossop patients

Woodhead or the Snake Pass from Glossop?

Woodhead. The A628 to the Flouch and the A616 down to Stocksbridge is about 40 minutes. The Snake Pass brings you into Sheffield at Hillsborough and adds twenty minutes or more.

What if the pass is shut on the day of my appointment?

Call or WhatsApp and we will move it, usually within the week. Nothing in an implant plan is so time-critical that a few days matter, and we would rather you stayed off the moor.

What happens if my implant fails?

If it fails to integrate in the early months, it is removed, the bone is left to heal for about three months, and it is placed again. What that costs you is set out on your written plan before you start, so there are no surprises.

Could I lose feeling in my lip?

It is possible with lower back implants, which is why the CBCT scan is not optional. With 3D planning and a 2 mm margin from the nerve canal, lasting numbness is rare, and we will tell you if your anatomy makes it more likely.

Would a Manchester clinic be cheaper than Deepcar?

Some will be, some will not. Compare the complete price of implant, abutment, crown and scan, and ask who places it and how many they have done. Our figures are published so the comparison is easy.

Are implants safe if I have osteoporosis?

Usually, yes. Osteoporosis itself is not a bar. The concern is bisphosphonate medicines, especially by injection or drip, and we will look at exactly what you take before advising.

Excellent experience from start to finish. I recently received a dental implant and the level of care was outstanding. The surgeon Ibraheem Ijaz explained every step of the process, from the initial scan to the final fitting. Healing was quick with minimal discomfort.

I’m extremely pleased with the dental implant I had at Deepcar Dental Care. From my first consultation through to the final fitting, I felt I was in very good hands. Ibraheem Ijaz took the time to explain the treatment clearly and made sure I understood what to expect at each stage.
