A family practice 2 miles from Failsworth — just over the borough line

Failsworth patients already know the journey: straight down the A627 towards Droylsden, and you’re at our door in under 10 minutes. We’re at 253 Manchester Road, Droylsden, M43 6HE — same familiar Manchester Road corridor that runs through both boroughs.

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 an independent family practice since 1984, and for implant patients that means one practice for your hygiene, monitoring and any future care.

For Failsworth residents, crossing the borough boundary to reach us isn’t a compromise — it’s a choice. You’re choosing a practice that’s been family-run for two generations, where implant patients see the same clinicians year after year.

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 Failsworth 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.

Implant treatments available

Single dental implant + crown — from £2,750. Replaces one missing tooth with a titanium screw integrated into your jawbone, topped with a custom porcelain crown. 4–6 month treatment timeline.

All-on-4 full-arch implants — from £10,000 per arch. A fixed full set of teeth secured on just four implants per arch. Often delivered in a single visit.

All-on-6 full-arch implants — from £12,000 per arch. Same concept as All-on-4 but with two additional implants for greater stability.

Same-day implants. For straightforward cases with adequate bone, we can place an implant immediately after extracting a damaged tooth, with a temporary crown the same day.

Bone grafting and sinus lifts. When the jawbone needs rebuilding before implant placement. Quoted separately.

Failsworth implant FAQs

Why do Failsworth patients travel to Droylsden for implants when there are dentists in Oldham?

Failsworth patients who come to us tell us they wanted a proven, long-established practice with a strong track record (40+ years, 400+ five-star Google reviews), premium implant systems, and the confidence that the same clinicians will still be here in 5–20 years for ongoing care. The 2-mile journey is a small price for that continuity.

Is crossing from Oldham to Tameside going to be complicated for NHS referrals?

No. We welcome both private and mixed-treatment patients from Failsworth. If you’re currently registered with an NHS practice in Oldham, you can come to us privately for implants without any friction — your NHS dentist can continue with routine care, or you can transfer all your care to us. We’ll handle the record requests.

How much do dental implants cost?

Fixed written quote after consultation — no surprise add-ons. Our All-on-4 full-arch price is £10,000 per arch, and you get a fixed written quote after your consultation.

Can I see a written treatment plan before I commit?

Yes — every implant patient leaves their first appointment with a written treatment plan and fixed quote. The £50 consultation fee is fully redeemable.

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 need grafting once we’ve taken the scan.

Is the implant procedure done in one visit?

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

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.
