Implant restorations can be designed to support normal chewing forces and help you eat a wider range of foods when treatment is appropriate.

What To Expect During Dental Implant Treatment
01
Initial Assessment
A clinical review of your gums, remaining teeth, bite and medical history to consider whether implants are appropriate.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays or digital scans may be taken to plan implant position, number and type; this helps explain the proposed dental implant treatment.
03
Preparatory Care
Any necessary treatments such as gum therapy, extractions or bone grafting are completed before placement where required.
04
Implant Placement
The implant post is placed in the jaw under local anaesthetic; the clinician will explain what to expect before and after this surgical stage.
05
Healing And Review
Time is allowed for the implant to integrate with bone; the team will review healing and any temporary restorations.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
A crown, bridge or denture is fitted once healing is clinically sufficient, and a plan for ongoing review and hygiene is agreed.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Dental implants may be suitable if you have one or more missing teeth and wish to explore replacement options. Suitability depends on gum health, remaining teeth, bite, jawbone quantity and quality, your medical history, medicines and smoking status, plus your personal goals.
Not everyone needs additional procedures such as bone grafting, and some patients may be advised to consider alternatives such as a bridge or denture depending on their individual situation. The only reliable way to confirm whether implants are appropriate is through clinical assessment and any necessary imaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
An implant-supported crown replaces a single tooth and typically requires one implant, while replacing several adjacent teeth may need multiple implants supporting a bridge. The exact plan depends on bone availability, bite and the condition of surrounding teeth, which are assessed during consultation and imaging.
If an implant fails to integrate with bone, the clinician will review possible causes and discuss options such as removing the implant, allowing healing and considering replacement or alternative restorations. Any further steps are agreed with you following discussion of risks and benefits.
Cleaning around implants involves careful brushing, interdental cleaning and regular professional hygiene visits. Our team will demonstrate techniques suited to your restoration type and recommend a maintenance schedule to reduce plaque, protect gums and support long-term success.
Some patients require bone grafting when jawbone volume or quality is insufficient to support an implant. Not everyone needs a graft and the need for additional procedures can only be confirmed after clinical assessment and imaging, when the clinician explains the options and timing.
Smoking can increase the risk of complications and may affect healing after implant surgery. We will discuss smoking status during assessment and explain how it may influence suitability and outcomes so you can make an informed decision before treatment proceeds.
Choosing between implants, a bridge or a denture depends on oral health, number of missing teeth, bone levels, budget and personal preferences. We will explain the pros and cons of each option during a consultation so you can decide which approach aligns with your goals.
