Dental Implant FAQs
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during treatment. Some tenderness, swelling, or discomfort afterwards is normal and can usually be managed during recovery.
How long does the dental implant process take?
It depends on your individual case. The implant usually needs time to integrate with the jawbone before the final tooth is fitted, so the complete process can take several months.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and proper care, they can potentially last for many years or even decades.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost varies depending on how many teeth need replacing, the type of implant treatment, and whether additional procedures are required. A consultation and examination are needed to provide an accurate treatment plan and quote.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Many adults with missing teeth can be suitable candidates. We assess your gums, jawbone, general health, and dental needs to determine whether implants are appropriate for you.
How long is the recovery after implant surgery?
Initial discomfort and swelling generally settle over the first several days, although healing varies between patients. The bone itself takes longer to fully integrate with the implant.
