The implant process
What to expect, step by step
1
Consultation & 3D scan
We check your bone and gums, answer your questions and give you a written plan with costs.
2
Placement
The implant is placed under local anesthetic, with sedation if you like. Most people are back at work the next day.
3
Healing
Over three to four months the implant fuses with the bone. You wear a temporary tooth in the meantime.
4
Your new tooth
We fit a custom porcelain crown, shade-matched to your smile.

Questions
Implants & oral surgery FAQ
Does getting an implant hurt?
The area is fully numbed, so you feel pressure but not pain. Afterwards most people need only over-the-counter pain relief for a few days.
Am I a candidate for implants?
Most healthy adults are. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and bone loss can affect healing, but bone grafting often makes implants possible. The 3D scan tells us for sure.
Should my wisdom teeth come out?
Not always. We recommend removal when they’re impacted, keep getting infected, or are damaging the teeth next to them. A panoramic X-ray shows what’s going on.
Can I drive home after sedation?
After laughing gas, yes. After IV sedation, no: please bring someone to drive you home and stay with you for the rest of the day.
