Step 1: Your initial consultation
This is the exciting part for us, as we meet you for the first time! During our consultation, we will get to know you and learn all about your dental concerns. Once we have a good idea of your problems, we will explain how we can help you overcome them with implant treatment. You have a few options, such as:
Replacing one tooth with a single implant
Replacing multiple missing teeth, including an entire mouth
Replacing dentures with implants
Securing existing dentures to make them more sturdy
Our practice has the most cutting-edge technology that dentistry has to offer, including 3D scanners to help us plan your treatment at the consultation stage. We can even use these to show you a simulation of what your smile could look like after implant treatment!
During this session, we will inform you of all the potential treatment options, risks, benefits, and costs. This way, you can ask questions and go into the procedure armed with all the facts.
Step 2: The implant placement
You might be dreading this part, but trust us! It’s relatively painless, mainly due to the local anaesthetic we administer before the procedure. If you’re particularly nervous about the treatment, we can offer IV sedation; this means you will be conscious during the procedure but in a state of deep relaxation.
The procedure will only take around 20 minutes per tooth, and patients often report it as less painful than a tooth extraction! In most cases, we will temporarily replace your missing tooth with a crown until we fit your permanent replacement tooth.
Discomfort in the days following the procedure is normal, and we recommend painkillers such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen to manage this.
Step 3: Creating and fitting your crown
Now, this is the most exciting part for you. Around three to four months after your placement, the titanium implant will have fused with your jaw in a process called ‘osseointegration’. It’s there to stay!
We will take an impression and send it to our expert dental lab. They will tailor-make a crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly.
Around two weeks later, after the lab has created your crown and returned it to us, we will see you at the practice to screw it into your dental implant. And voilà! A replacement tooth that looks and functions just like your natural teeth.
