At your first appointment, you will receive an examination from one of our Dental Implant Dentists. The Dental Implant process will be explained to you through imaging and models. X-rays may be taken if you decide to proceed with the treatment to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support the Implant.
At your next appointment, the original tooth will be extracted if it is still there before fitting you with the titanium post or posts under a local anaesthetic or IV sedation. Multiple posts can be fitted in one appointment if you are having more than one Implant. O
nce the gum has healed, we will take an impression of your mouth in order to design the ceramic prosthesis. The final step is to attach the prosthesis to the titanium Implant. You will be fitted with a temporary Resin Bridge in the case of full teeth replacement to give the Implants time to stablise. The entire process takes about six to eight months and after which you can treat your Implant just like a normal tooth.
