Implant treatment is usually carried out over several stages.

The process is structured and planned carefully to ensure stability, healing, and a predictable final result.

1. Assessment and Planning

Your treatment begins with:

  • Clinical examination.
  • Digital scans of your teeth.
  • CBCT (3D imaging) to assess bone.
  • Discussion of treatment options.

This stage is focused on planning the final result before treatment begins.

2. Implant Placement

The implant is placed in the jaw under local anaesthetic.

  • The procedure is typically well tolerated.
  • Discomfort is usually manageable with simple pain relief.
  • You will be given clear post-operative instructions.

3. Healing Phase

After placement, the implant is left to heal and integrate with the bone.

  • This may take several weeks to a few months.
  • Temporary solutions may be provided where needed.
  • The implant is not usually loaded during this phase.

4. Restoration Phase

Once healing is complete:

  • A digital scan or impression is taken.
  • The final crown, bridge, or denture is made.
  • The restoration is fitted and adjusted.

5. Review and Maintenance

After completion:

  • The implant and restoration are reviewed.
  • Cleaning and maintenance are discussed.
  • Ongoing care is arranged.
