A practice on Manchester Road since 1984 — 10 minutes from Gorton town centre
Gorton is part of east Manchester’s diverse residential belt, and many Gorton families have been with us for decades. We’re at 253 Manchester Road in Droylsden — same road, just up from Gorton, about 10 minutes door-to-door from Gorton town centre. The M60 is nearby, making access easy whether you’re heading west towards the city centre or staying local.
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. 202897) and his wife Emma Walmsley. That makes Walmsley Dental one of the longest-established dental practices serving Gorton and east Manchester.
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 the rare repair. We’ve been here for over 40 years, with 340+ five-star Google reviews behind us, and we’re not going anywhere. Many of our Gorton patients brought their children to us — and are now bringing their grandchildren.
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. In that time, Loren has become a familiar, trusted voice for multiple generations of Gorton families. 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.

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 that looks and feels like your natural tooth. 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 (“teeth in a day”).
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.

Gorton implant FAQs
Why do Gorton families choose Walmsley Dental for implants instead of city-centre clinics?
Implants need long-term care and continuity. Many Gorton patients choose us because we’ve been here for 40 years and will be here for the next 40. We’re family-run, not a corporate chain or a city-centre specialist rotating different clinicians. For implant patients in Gorton, that stability and familiarity across decades matters more than flashy claims about being “the biggest.”
How long have Gorton families been with you?
Many of our longest-serving Gorton implant patients have been with us since the 1980s and 1990s — and have brought their children (and sometimes grandchildren) to us for implants and routine care. That multi-generational trust is built over decades and can’t be replicated.
How does your pricing compare to Manchester implant centres?
Competitive with other private implant providers across Greater Manchester and significantly below Manchester city-centre specialist implant centres. We provide a fixed written quote after consultation — no surprise add-ons. All-on-4 (£10,000 per arch) is typically £4,000–£8,000 below city-centre implant clinics.
Can I stay registered with my current Gorton dentist for routine care?
Absolutely — many Gorton patients come to us specifically for implant treatment while staying registered with their existing dentist for routine check-ups and hygiene.
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.
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.
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’s your success rate for dental implants?
Single implants we place have an integration success rate above 97%, in line with the published clinical evidence for premium implant systems placed by experienced clinicians.
What makes Walmsley Dental different from corporate dental chains?
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.
