The information gained will be presented to you, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. This will be followed by a comprehensive treatment plan that outlines your treatment options, the associated costs, and the expected duration of treatment.

The implant is safely, gently and securely placed in its planned position, using local anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. The length of the procedure can vary, depending on the complexity of the treatment, and can range from 45 minutes to two hours. Stitches will be involved, and you can expect mild pain, discomfort, and swelling afterwards.

We’ll provide you with all the necessary advice before and after the procedure, including any medication you need to take to ensure a speedy recovery. We have found that our patients are generally very positive about the procedure. We will review the area’s healing progress 1-2 weeks after implant placement and remove any stitches as needed.

Once the healing phase is complete, typically 8-10 weeks after the implants are placed, we can begin creating your new teeth. This treatment phase typically consists of three appointments.

The first appointment is to uncover your implant and confirm its stability. This is done under local anaesthetic and the appointment usually lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the number of implants you have.

2 weeks later, we will take the measurements to make your new teeth. We use a digital scanner for this, so there’s no need for those dreaded impressions.

The final appointment is the one you have been waiting for – the fitting of your new teeth. You will leave this appointment with your new teeth firmly secured to your implants and will be ready to use them immediately. We will review this a week later, to ensure you are happy and comfortable with your new teeth.

It is essential that your implants are properly monitored and maintained to ensure they last a lifetime. AirFlow therapy is ideal for ensuring excellent oral hygiene around your implants, and we recommend this be done every 3 months, along with a thorough assessment of your implants on an annual basis.Our Gold and Platinum Membership plans are perfect for this.
