A well-planned implant begins long before the procedure itself
A dental implant is a modern solution for a missing tooth. The key to a good result is careful assessment and planning — exactly what this consultation is for.
What it is
At the consultation we assess whether an implant suits your case: the bone and gums, neighbouring teeth, your bite and general health. We discuss stages, timelines and alternatives. Where a surgical stage is needed we work together with an oral surgeon, while the prosthetic part — the crown on the implant — is planned and made with us.
Who it's for
- A single missing tooth
- Several missing teeth
- An unstable denture in need of firmer support
What happens at the consultation
You'll get an honest assessment of whether an implant is suitable, what the path to the finished crown involves, and what the alternatives are. The decision always remains yours.
Approximate stages
Implant treatment usually takes several stages over some months — assessment and planning, the surgical stage, a healing period and the prosthetic restoration. Exact timelines depend on the case.
Benefits and limitations
An implant replaces a missing tooth without affecting the neighbouring teeth. Suitability depends on bone volume, general health and habits such as smoking. Outcomes and longevity depend on the individual case and maintenance.
Alternative options
Alternatives are a bridge or a removable denture. At the consultation we compare the advantages and limitations of each option for your case honestly.
Treatment suitability and results depend on your individual clinical case and are determined after an examination.
Questions about this service
Is an implant suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on bone, gums, general health and habits. That's exactly why the first step is always an examination and individual assessment.
