Frequently asked questions

  • What are dental implants?

    A dental implant is a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. The implant is then used to support a new tooth (crowns) or teeth (bridge/denture).

  • Why should I choose dental implants?

    There are other options available for teeth replacement, including bridges and dentures. However, neither of these offers the same strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal as teeth implants. By fusing to the jawbone, implants create the next best thing to a natural tooth root, removing any potential eating or speech issues.

  • Am I suitable for dental implant treatment?

    Most people are suitable candidates for a tooth implant if they are generally healthy and in good oral health. We will thoroughly discuss your overall suitability for implant treatment at your initial consultation.

  • Are dental implants safe?

    The implants we use at this practice are manufactured by a British / Swiss implant company with decades of research and development behind them. They are made of a lightweight biocompatible material in strictly sterile conditions. Dental implants were first placed 1967 so we have nearly 50 years of research to show they are safe.

  • How long does the dental implant treatment process take?

    The whole process, from consultation with the treatment coordinator to your secure fixed replacement teeth, can take several months. The implant surgery is a relatively quick procedure, but the implants themselves need around 3-6 months to heal and fuse before fixed permanent teeth can be placed. The treatment process will be longer if you need a bone graft or other procedure first, but your new smile will be more than worth it in the end.

  • How long do dental implants last?

    Statistics show dental implants last on average 10-15 years, making them the ideal treatment for teeth replacement. However, they can last much longer provided they are surgically placed correctly and accurately, and looked after properly. This includes maintaining an excellent brushing and flossing routine, looking after your general health, and attending regular check-up appointments with your dentist. The crown or bridge that the implant supports may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear.
