What happens, step by step
We explain each step before we do it.
- 01
Assessment
We check the bone and gums to make sure an implant will hold.
- 02
Placement
The titanium post is placed under local anaesthesia in a single appointment.
- 03
Healing
Over three to four months the bone grows around the implant. If the gap is visible, you get a temporary tooth meanwhile.
- 04
Crown fitting
A zirconia crown is matched to your shade and fixed onto the implant.
Before you book
- Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes lower the success rate. We discuss this before you decide.
- An implant is cleaned like a natural tooth: brush and floss daily.
How long does an implant last?
With good care an implant can last for decades. The crown on top may need replacing sooner.
Is the surgery painful?
It is done under local anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain during it. Mild swelling for a couple of days is normal.
Implant or bridge?
A bridge is faster and cheaper, but the teeth next to the gap have to be cut down. An implant leaves them alone. We explain both options for your case.
