You either have a missing tooth or a bad tooth which can no longer be saved

​

Your dentist will either send you for a CT scan (3D x-ray to ascertain how much bone you have for the implant screw) or a consultation with the Implant Surgeon

​

The Implant Surgeon will assess your issue and give you advice on your treatment options

​

You may be given information forms to take away to read | Finances may also be discussed

​

You have your implant screw placed | It may be possible to have the tooth removed and the implant screw placed on the same day | It may be possible to attach a fixed temporary tooth on top of the implant screw

​

The implant is left alone for 3-4 months to allow it to fully fuse with your jawbone | The construction of the prosthesis which goes on top of the implant (crown or bridge) now begins | For simple crowns, this process takes 3-4 weeks

​

After your final crown or bridge is fitted, we will tell you the best way to look after it for a long-lasting result
