Before & After
The Dental Implants Procedure
Planning and Diagnosis
A full exam, Study Models and a 3D scan is performed.
The scans are needed to show where your sinuses and nerves are, as well as to see the dimensions of the available bone to determine the best locations for the implants.
The Dental
Implant Process
During the first surgery, an incision is made in the gum where the implant will be placed. A hole is drilled in the bone, the implant is placed into the hole, and the incision is stitched closed.
Two surgeries usually are needed. The first one places the implants in the jawbone under your gums. The second surgery exposes the tops of the implants.
The second procedure comes three to six months after the first. During this time, the bone and the implants integrate (attach and fuse).
Once the implants have become fused with the bone, the second surgery can be scheduled. This surgery is simpler than the first. A small incision is made in your gum to expose the tops (heads) of the implants.
A healing cap is placed on the head of each implant after it is exposed. This guides the gum tissue to heal correctly and is left there for 2 – 4 weeks.
Your gums should now be healed enough for us to make a mould for the laboratory, which will then construct the implant crown. This is then cemented or screwed into place 2-3 weeks later.
We are here to help you answer these & more questions thoroughly.

1. Improved appearance
Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. Because they are designed to attach to bone, they become permanent
2. Improved speech
With ill-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within your mouth, causing you to mumble. Dental implants let you speak without worrying that teeth might slip.
3. Improved comfort
Because they fuse to your bone, dental implants eliminate the discomfort of dentures.
4. Easier eating
Slipping dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants work like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favourite foods with confidence and without pain.
5. Improved self-esteem
Dental implants can restore your smile and make you feel better.
6. Improved oral health
Dental implants don’t need reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridges do. Because surrounding teeth are not changed to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left untouched, improving long-term oral wellness. Single implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
7. Durability
Dental implants are durable and will last for a long time. With proper care, many implants can last a lifetime.
8. Convenience
Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants get rid of the inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Dental Implants
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Here are some of the many benefits of having dental implants:
- Improved facial appearance
- Improved speech
- Easier eating
- Improved self-esteem
- Durable
Who is eligible for dental implants?
Anyone who has a missing tooth and with a sufficient amount of jawbone is qualified for dental implants.
How long does it take to recover from an implant surgery?
After the dental implant procedure, it usually takes at least six months to fully heal.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients feel no pain during and after the procedure. Surgery is usually performed with local anaesthesia, and common analgesic drugs easily control slight pain after surgery.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The process can take several months, involving planning, placement, and healing time to ensure the implant fuses with the bone. It takes 3 to 6 months from implant placement to crown fitting.
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants require much of the same care as natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain oral hygiene and the longevity of your implants.
Are dental implants safe?
Dental implants are recognised today as a more secure and long-lasting treatment option for replacing lost teeth. They have a high success rate, especially when placed by a qualified dental professional.
How long are dental implants expected to last?
As a result, dental implants can last a person’s entire lifetime when adopted according to the required standards and maintained correctly. However, the crowns or prosthetic teeth attached to the implants may need replacement over time due to normal wear.
Can dental implants fail?
While rare, dental implant failure can occur due to insufficient bone, poor oral hygiene, smoking, or certain medical conditions. Your dentist will assess risks during the planning phase.
What happens if I don't have enough bone for an implant?
If you lack sufficient bone, bone grafting or other procedures may be recommended to create a stable foundation for the implant.
