Implant Dentistry

We create a complete dental and medical history for our patients. This may include taking basic x-rays, using a CBCT scanner to create a 3D image of your mouth, and taking conventional impressions and digital impressions with an intra-oral scanner. There is also time in the consultation to discuss your dental concerns and take photos of your smile.

A bespoke treatment plan is created to meet your smile needs. There may be different treatment options to discuss, which will be explained fully by our experienced and skilled dentist. This may include 2D and 3D simulations.

Once we have agreed on a treatment plan, we will begin the dental implant process. Preparatory work, such as hygiene sessions or bone grafts, may be needed before implants can be placed. This will have all been discussed in the planning stage so you will know exactly what to expect.

Once the dental implant post has been placed, a healing process needs to occur in which the bone fuses around the implant making it firmly fixed in place. It varies from patient to patient but can take between eight and twelve weeks, during which time a temporary prosthesis will be fitted.

Once the implant is healed, a final prosthetic crown or bridge is fixed to the implant. 

Caring for your dental implants is an essential part of treatment - this involves keeping on top of your oral hygiene and maintenance with regular visits for checkups and hygiene appointments.
