We’ve been on Manchester Road in Droylsden for over 40 years, we’re family-owned and family-run, and we hold a 4.9★ Google rating from 400+ patient reviews. Many of our implant patients live in Dukinfield, have been with us across multiple generations, and tell us they chose us because we’re family-run.

Single dental implant from £2,750. All-on-4 from £10,000 per arch. All-on-6 from £12,000 per arch. Implant consultation £50, fully redeemable against treatment.

A family practice in the Tame Valley since 1984 — just 12 minutes from Dukinfield

We’re at 253 Manchester Road in Droylsden, sitting in the heart of the Tame Valley — part of the same Tameside borough as Dukinfield. A pleasant drive along the valley from Dukinfield town centre gets you to us in about 12 minutes. No sitting in Ashton’s traffic, no driving into central Manchester.

The practice was founded on Manchester Road in 1984 by Stephen and Heather Walmsley, and is run today by their son Dr Edward Walmsley (GDC No. 203897) and his wife Emma Walmsley. Walmsley Dental has been a family practice in the Tame Valley since 1984.

That continuity matters for implant patients. Implants are a long-term tooth replacement, and the practice that places them needs to still be there in 5, 10, 20 years for hygiene, monitoring, and any repairs. We’ve been here for over 40 years, with 400+ five-star Google reviews behind us, and we’re not going anywhere.

It’s not just the family clinicians who’ve stayed. Our receptionist Loren joined the practice as a 16-year-old in the 1980s and is still on the front desk today, 40+ years later. Many of our Dukinfield patients have been seeing the same familiar faces across two — sometimes three — generations of their own family.

You can see what life inside the practice is actually like on our Instagram — @walmsleydental — where we regularly share before/after implant cases, treatment journeys, and behind-the-scenes content from the team.

Dukinfield implant FAQs

Why do Dukinfield patients choose a family practice for implants?

We offer continuity of care: the same clinician year after year, and we recommend only the treatment you need. Patients who come to us tell us they wanted to know the person placing their implant will be there for the next 20 years.

What is the actual driving time from Dukinfield to your practice?

Dukinfield town centre is about 12 minutes from us along a pleasant route through the Tame Valley — no motorway, no sitting in Ashton or Manchester traffic. Many Dukinfield patients tell us the short, quiet drive along the valley is actually a selling point.

How much do dental implants cost?

Single implants are from £2,750, All-on-4 from £10,000 per arch and All-on-6 from £12,000 per arch, with a fixed written quote after your £50 consultation. Fixed written quote after consultation — no surprise add-ons. Single implants are from £2,750, All-on-4 from £10,000 per arch and All-on-6 from £12,000 per arch, with a fixed written quote after your £50 consultation.

Can I switch to Walmsley Dental if I’m registered elsewhere?

Absolutely. Many Dukinfield patients come to us for implant treatment while staying registered with their existing dentist for routine care. Or you can transfer all your care to us with your consent.

Is the implant procedure done in one visit?

For most cases, no — placement is a single appointment under local anaesthetic, then 3–4 months for the implant to integrate before fitting the final porcelain crown.

What if I need bone grafting before I can have implants?

Bone grafting and sinus lifts are quoted separately and depend on what your CBCT scan shows. Many patients don’t actually need grafting once we’ve taken the scan.

Who runs Walmsley Dental?

Family-owned and family-run. Founded by Stephen and Heather Walmsley in 1984, now run by their son Dr Edward Walmsley with his wife Emma. Continuity of care, no rotating clinicians, no upsell pressure.
