What our Patients Say
Dental Implants FAQs
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It acts as a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, restoring both the function and appearance of a natural tooth.
What are the benefits of a dental implant?
Dental implants are widely considered the best option for replacing missing teeth. They are fixed in place, so unlike dentures, they don’t need to be removed daily. Unlike bridges, they don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support. Implants offer the best chewing ability and provide the most confidence when eating or socialising, as there’s no risk of them slipping or falling out.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Treatment usually takes between four to six months. However, it can take longer in more complex cases or if a tooth needs to be extracted before the implant is placed.

How do I know if I have enough bone for a dental implant?
We begin with a consultation to assess your suitability. If you’re a candidate, we’ll refer you for a CBCT (3D bone scan) to determine how much bone is available. If there’s been significant bone loss—often the case when a tooth has been missing for a long time—bone or gum grafting may be needed. Replacing a missing tooth sooner rather than later helps reduce the likelihood of needing additional procedures.
Am I suitable for a dental implant?
Suitability is determined through a consultation that reviews your medical and dental health. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll arrange a CBCT scan to assess your bone volume and begin planning your treatment.
Am I too old for dental implants?
No. As long as there is enough bone to place the dental implant, you will be eligible for this treatment. If there is not enough bone, extra bone can often be grafted. In cases where missing teeth have been left untreated, some bone loss may already have occurred, which is a common risk but can usually be managed with appropriate planning. Generally, the dentist will need to take a CBCT scan to assess the amount and thickness of bone currently present.
What are my options if I’m not suitable for a dental implant?
If implants aren’t suitable, other options include a dental bridge or a denture. Each has its own advantages and limitations, which we’ll discuss with you during your consultation to help you make an informed decision.
Will I be left without teeth during dental implant treatment?
No. We will ensure you have a temporary crown or some sort of replacement tooth to fill any missing spaces while the dental implant integrates with the bone. In all cases it will be explained exactly how the implant will be placed, temporised and then finally restored, ensuring no surprises or embarrassing days with missing teeth.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
We will take every measure to ensure you are comfortable and pain free during the dental implant procedure. All treatments are carried out under local anaesthetic and after the implants are placed we supply painkillers to ensure that our patients remain comfortable. We also offer sedation for those patients who are really nervous and would rather be in a state of complete relaxation.
Would I need to do anything prior to dental implant treatment?
Yes. As part of our consultation we will screen your gums and bone for any infections. Prior to dental implant placement your remaining teeth and gums need to be healthy. We will offer any additional treatment to ensure that your mouth is healthy prior to having dental implants.
Can I leave the gap where my tooth was?
Leaving a gap is generally not recommended. Over time, the surrounding and opposing teeth may shift into the space, which can affect your bite and increase the risk of damage to those teeth. Gaps can also lead to cosmetic issues, such as black triangles between teeth, which trap food and plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease and decay. The longer a gap is left, the more complex and costly the treatment may become.
Can I get dental implants abroad for less?
While implants may be cheaper abroad, there are important risks to consider. Proper implant treatment takes at least three months to allow the implant to integrate with the bone and for the gum to heal. Rushing this process can increase the risk of implant failure. The quality of materials and implant systems used abroad can vary, and some may not offer long-term support or follow-up care. UK dentists are highly regulated, ensuring a high standard of care. Many UK practices will not take over the care of implants placed abroad, which could leave you without local support if issues arise. Regular reviews are essential for long-term implant success, and this aftercare is often not included in overseas treatment packages.
