Your dental implants treatment journey
1
Consultation
We begin your dental implants treatment journey with a detailed consultation. We carry out a full assessment of both your oral and general health, and how your teeth fit together, and take X-rays to ensure you have sufficient density in your jawbone. We ask you about your ideal outcome from treatment, explain the process, and answer any questions you have.
2
Planning
Using digital X-rays and state-of-the-art technology, we create your treatment plan. We carefully make a note of the precise places for your implants to be fitted in your jaw. If you need a bone grafting procedure to ensure a solid foundation for your new teeth, we arrange and carry this out at this stage.
3
Implant surgery
Your titanium implants are inserted into your jaw by our skilled implant dentist. We use local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort, and the surgery is a relatively simple procedure. The implants need several months to heal and fuse with your jawbone, so we fit temporary teeth to protect your gum during this time.
4
Your new smile
When your implants are settled and fully healed, we create your custom crown, bridge or denture to your exact specifications. We fit your replacement teeth to your secure implants and reveal your beautiful new smile!

What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are a very effective and long-lasting way to replace missing teeth and complete your smile. A dental implant is a small titanium post, which is inserted into your jaw to directly mimic a natural tooth root and provide a solid base for a beautifully natural-looking replacement tooth. Titanium is used as it is very well tolerated by the body, and integrates with your jaw bone over time.
Implants can transform the way you feel about your smile. Gone are the days of refusing to smile in photos or feeling self-conscious when speaking or eating in public. Dental implants help you rediscover the look, feel and function of natural teeth and boost your confidence, whether you replace one, multiple, or even a whole arch of missing teeth.

Dental implants offer numerous advantages, including improved chewing function, enhanced speech clarity, boosted self-confidence, and the preservation of jawbone structure. Unlike traditional dentures, implants prevent bone loss and provide a more secure fit.
The dental implant process typically involves multiple stages and can take several months to complete. This includes implant placement, bone healing (osseointegration), abutment placement, and the creation and placement of replacement teeth. The exact timeline can vary, but we can give you an estimate based on your individual case at your consultation.
With proper care, dental implants can last for many years or even a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your implants.
To determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants, a comprehensive oral examination is necessary. Factors such as overall health, bone density, and gum condition will be assessed and evaluated. Your dentist will discuss your treatment options and expectations.
Modern dental techniques and local anaesthesia minimise discomfort during dental implant surgery. Most patients report mild to moderate pain afterwards, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication as advised by your dentist. Regular post-operative care is essential for a smooth recovery.
