Many of our most loyal implant patients live in Reddish and surrounding Stockport areas, and have been with us across multiple generations of their families.

A practice on Manchester Road since 1984 — closer than you’d expect for Reddish patients
Reddish sits just south of Droylsden across the M60, which means you’re closer to our practice than you might think. We’re at 253 Manchester Road in Droylsden — just 12 minutes door-to-door from central Reddish, with straight M60 access. Many of our Reddish patients say the quick motorway hop is worth it for a genuinely established practice without the corporate dentistry feel.
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 in the Greater Manchester area — and certainly the most established independent family option accessible to Reddish.
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.
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. That’s the kind of continuity our Reddish patients value — consistency you don’t get with corporate chains.
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 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. Ideal for patients who have lost or are losing all of their upper or lower teeth. Often delivered in a single visit (“teeth in a day”).
All-on-6 full-arch implants — from £12,000 per arch. The same concept as All-on-4 but with two additional implants for greater stability — typically recommended where bone quality allows.
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. Decided case-by-case at consultation.
Bone grafting and sinus lifts. When the jawbone needs rebuilding before implant placement. Quoted separately.
Need full-arch implants? See our dedicated All-on-4 Manchester guide — fixed teeth on four implants from £10,000 per arch, same-day teeth available.

Reddish implant FAQs
Why should Reddish patients travel to Droylsden when there are dental providers in Stockport?
Most Stockport-based implant providers are either further away (town centre locations) or are part of larger corporate chains where you don’t see the same clinician twice. We’re only 12 minutes from central Reddish via the M60, we’re family-owned with the same clinicians who’ve been here for decades, and we have 40+ years of proven track record and 340+ five-star Google reviews. For Reddish patients, we combine proximity with genuine continuity of care.
How does your pricing compare to implant centres in central Manchester or Stockport town?
Our pricing is significantly below Manchester city-centre specialist implant centres (typically £4,000–£8,000 cheaper for full-arch work) and competitive with other private providers in the region. We provide a fixed written quote after consultation — no surprise add-ons.
Can I use my NHS dentist in Stockport while having implants done at Walmsley Dental?
Absolutely — and this is quite common. Many Reddish patients keep their NHS registration with a Stockport practice for routine checkups while we handle specialist implant care. Or you can transfer all your care to us; we’ll request your records from your previous practice with your consent. No obligation either way.
What if I need bone grafting before implants?
Bone grafting and sinus lifts are quoted separately and depend entirely on what your CBCT scan shows. Many patients initially worried about bone don’t actually need grafting. We’ll give you an honest assessment at consultation — and we won’t recommend grafting unless it’s genuinely necessary.
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 against any treatment you choose to proceed with. Nothing is booked until you’re ready.
What makes Walmsley Dental different from corporate dental chains?
We’re family-owned and family-run. The practice was founded by Stephen and Heather Walmsley in 1984 and is now run by their son Dr Edward Walmsley with his wife Emma. That means continuity of care, no rotating clinicians, no pressure to upsell, and a team that genuinely knows your case from year to year.
