What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is typically a titanium screw that is carefully drilled into the jawbone and it is used as the foundation to replace a missing or damaged tooth.
Once fitted, this provides the foundation for a longer term replacement tooth such as a crowns, bridge or denture which is added on top.
Key Points:
- An implant is the titanium screw drilled into the jawbone
- A more natural looking tooth is added on top such as a crown or bridge (for multiple teeth)
- Treatment takes between 3 to 6 months
- The procedure is popular because it is long-lasting and effective

Our Step-By-Step Approach To Dental Implants
Step 1 – Consultation & Treatment Planning
You’ll begin with a consultation with one of our experienced dentists, including a full dental examination, X-rays, and 3D scans of your teeth. Using these results, your dentist will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2 – Implant Placement Procedure
Your dental implants will be fitted under local anaesthetic, and sedation may also be available to help you feel relaxed during treatment. The length of the procedure will vary depending on the complexity of your case and the number of implants being placed.
Step 3 – Healing & Final Restoration
After the implants are placed, a healing period of around three to six months is usually needed to allow the mouth to heal properly. Temporary teeth may be fitted during this time. Once healing is complete, your custom-made artificial tooth or teeth will be attached to the implants, carefully matched for the right size, shape, and colour.
Why Might I Need Dental Implants?
Dental implants may be recommended if you have one or more missing teeth and want a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to restore your smile. Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance — they may also make it difficult to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper oral health.
Over time, gaps left by missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift and may even lead to bone loss in the jaw. Dental implants act like artificial tooth roots, helping to support replacement teeth while maintaining the structure of your mouth and jawbone.
You might also consider dental implants if your dentures feel uncomfortable or unstable, or if you want an alternative to bridges that does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support. Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, giving many patients greater confidence in everyday life. With the right care and maintenance, dental implants can provide a strong, durable, and reliable solution for many years.

FAQs
How Long Does Dental Implant Treatment Take?
Typically, dental implant treatment typically takes between 3 to 6 months to complete from start to finish. This timespan allows for the implant to properly fuse with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration). In more particular cases, procedures like bone grafting may be required which could make the treatment take a little longer to complete overall.
Is Dental Implant Treatment Painful?
No, most of our patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. The implant placement is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during treatment. After this, it is common to have mild soreness or swelling for just a few days and this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last For Once Fitted?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last 10–15 years or more with good care. In fact, for some patients, dental implants can last a lifetime. To maximise their longevity, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene and add regular dental check-ups.
Am I Eligible For Dental Implants?
You will need sufficient bone density in your jaw to support the implant, good general and oral health.
Patients with certain medical conditions or those who smoke heavily may require additional assessment or treatment before proceeding.
How Do I Care For My Implants?
Once fully fitted, you should look after your implants like you would do for any regular teeth. This includes brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending routine dental visits. Good oral hygiene helps to prevent complications such as gum disease, which can affect the success and effectiveness of the implant over time.
Can I Get Implants On The NHS?
Only in very rare cases can dental implants be offered on the NHS because it is deemed as cosmetic treatment and is therefore paid for. QAD largely does private dental work and implants falls under this.
