Implant treatment is usually carried out over several stages.

The process is structured and planned carefully to ensure stability, healing, and a predictable final result.

1. Assessment and Planning

Your treatment begins with:

Clinical examination.
Digital scans of your teeth.
CBCT (3D imaging) to assess bone.
Discussion of treatment options.

This stage is focused on planning the final result before treatment begins.

2. Implant Placement

The implant is placed in the jaw under local anaesthetic.

The procedure is typically well tolerated.
Discomfort is usually manageable with simple pain relief.
You will be given clear post-operative instructions.

3. Healing Phase

After placement, the implant is left to heal and integrate with the bone.

This may take several weeks to a few months.
Temporary solutions may be provided where needed.
The implant is not usually loaded during this phase.

4. Restoration Phase

Once healing is complete:

A digital scan or impression is taken.
The final crown, bridge, or denture is made.
The restoration is fitted and adjusted.

5. Review and Maintenance

After completion:

The implant and restoration are reviewed.
Cleaning and maintenance are discussed.
Ongoing care is arranged.
