What To Expect During Dental Implant Treatment
01
Initial Assessment And Discussion
A dentist will review your medical and dental history, examine your mouth and discuss your goals and suitability for implants.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays or digital scans may be taken to plan implant position, restorations and to assess bone and gum tissue.
03
Preparatory Care If Required
Gum treatment, extractions or bone grafting may be needed before implant placement to optimise outcomes in some cases.
04
Implant Placement
A titanium post is placed into the jawbone, usually under local anaesthetic; the team will explain perioperative care and surgical aspects.
05
Healing And Review
Time is allowed for the implant to integrate with bone and the clinician will schedule reviews and interim restorations as appropriate.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
When healed, a crown, bridge or denture is fitted and you will receive cleaning and recall advice for ongoing care.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Dental implants may be suitable if you are missing one or more teeth and have adequate bone and healthy gums, but only a clinical assessment can confirm this. We consider oral and gum health, bone levels and your medical history, including medicines and lifestyle factors such as smoking, when assessing suitability.
Some people require additional procedures such as bone grafting to create a stable foundation; implant placement is a surgical procedure and there is a small risk an implant may not integrate with the bone. Your dentist will explain alternatives such as bridges and dentures, together with likely costs, maintenance and time involved so you can make an informed choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
An implant can support a single crown to replace one missing tooth when there is enough bone and healthy gum tissue; your dentist will compare this with a bridge and explain clinical advantages, limitations and maintenance during your assessment.
If an implant fails to integrate the clinician will review likely causes such as infection or health factors, allow healing and then discuss options including replacing the implant or other restorative choices depending on your case.
Cleaning around implants typically involves careful brushing, interdental cleaning and regular professional hygiene visits; your dental team will demonstrate techniques and recommend a maintenance schedule tailored to your restoration and gum condition.
Bone grafting replaces or augments lost jawbone to support an implant when necessary; not everyone needs grafting and any recommendation follows imaging and clinical assessment so you understand the reason, likely procedure, healing time and aftercare.
Smoking can increase the risk of complications and affect healing around implants; your dentist will discuss how smoking may influence suitability and outcomes and advise on steps to reduce risk before, during and after treatment.
Bridges or dentures may be preferable for clinical, financial or personal reasons and your dentist will explain the pros and cons of each option in relation to your oral health, maintenance expectations and treatment goals.
