How a Dental Implant Works
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis.

Understanding the process helps you know what to expect at each stage.

Your Step-by-Step Implant Journey

Step 1: Clinical Examination
We assess your bone levels, gum condition, bite, and overall oral health. We also review your medical history to ensure implant treatment suits your situation.

Step 2: Digital Planning
We use digital scans and x-rays to plan implant placement precisely. We show your scans and explain how bone support, tooth ...
... position, and bite alignment influence your treatment plan.

Step 3: Implant Placement
We place the implant in the planned position under local anaesthetic. If sedation suits your needs and health history, we discuss this option before treatment.

Step 4: Healing and Integration
The implant bonds with the surrounding bone over several months. We schedule review visits to monitor your healing and ensure the site remains healthy.

Step 5: Crown or Prosthesis Placement
Once healing progresses, we take impressions or scans for your final crown, bridge, or prosthesis. We focus on comfort, function, and alignment during this stage.

Step 6: Long-Term Maintenance
We guide you on cleaning techniques, recommended hygiene tools, and review schedules. Consistent care plays a key role in supporting implant health over time.
