What To Expect When Having Dental Implants
The dental implant procedure is broken down into 4 simple steps for you to get your new smile. If you have any specific questions are friendly team are on hand to help, and we will happily see you for a free consultation.
Step 1
Free Implant Consultation
The first step of the dental implant procedure is to come and see us for a no obligation free consultation. We will examine your mouth, listen to what your unhappy about, take any necessary scans/x-rays and devise a bespoke treatment plan based on the suitable options for you.
You will have time to decide which option is best for you and our friendly team will always be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Step 2
Implant Placement
Our implant surgeon will numb the area of the mouth having the implant and will then place the titanium post/s in the required areas (single/multiple implants depending on your case).
The appointment will usually take between one to two hours and will be painless due to the local anaesthetic. You will feel some mild discomfort when the implant is placed, but this will quickly pass and then the healing process will begin.
Depending on the treatment you have gone ahead with, either a temporary restoration will be fixed to your implants, or your final restoration (same day smiles). So when you leave you will not be left with a gap during the healing phase of the treatment.
Please note: Implant placements can be carried under sedation if you are a really nervous patient.
Step 2
Step 3
Biological Integration
This forms part of the healing phase following implant placement. Your implants will start to merge with the bone, which will create the stability & security you are after. This usually takes between 8-12 weeks to fully heal – but can take longer.
The implant when fully integrated will offer a robust & sturdy platform to anchor in your new crown, bridge or denture.
Step 4
Restoring The Implant
The final step of the dental implant procedure is to fit your new teeth securely onto the implants.
Following the creation of molds of the implant’s position, the final “teeth” can be individually designed, manufactured, and cemented or screwed into the implant. They will look, feel, and function just like a real tooth once they are in place.
