About Dental Implants

A dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing a missing tooth. It uses an implant placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, helping restore both function and appearance.

A straightforward implant treatment can take around three months from implant placement to completion, largely because the implant needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone.

Some cases can take longer, particularly where additional procedures such as bone grafting are required. Your dentist will explain your expected timeline before treatment begins.

Implant treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure.

Some discomfort, swelling or tenderness can be expected during the healing period. Your dentist will provide appropriate aftercare instructions and explain what to expect.
