Frequently Asked Questions
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are considered good candidates. During a consultation, your oral surgeon will evaluate your bone volume, gum tissue condition, and medical background to determine whether implants are the right fit for your individual situation.
Treatment length depends on how quickly you heal and whether any preparatory steps are required beforehand. From the first consultation through to the final restoration, the overall process commonly spans several months, giving the implant adequate time to fuse securely with the jawbone.
The placement procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, so discomfort during the surgery itself is typically minimal. Some post-operative soreness in the days that follow is expected and can generally be managed well with appropriate pain relief, rest, and attentive aftercare.
When bone density falls below what is needed, a bone grafting procedure may be recommended to build up the area prior to implant placement. Your oral surgeon will walk you through all preparatory treatment options at your consultation so that you have a clear picture of the process before anything begins.
No specialised tools are required. Routine brushing, careful flossing around the implant site, and regular dental check-ups are all it takes to keep your implant in excellent condition. Your care team will offer personalised hygiene recommendations suited to your specific restoration type at follow-up appointments.
