What a implant dentist covers
Implant dentistry focuses on replacing missing teeth with dental implants — small titanium posts placed in the jawbone that support a crown, bridge or denture. Treatment involves planning the placement with X-rays or a 3D scan, the surgical placement itself, and the restoration that goes on top, followed by healing and long-term maintenance. Whether implants are suitable depends on your bone, gum health and general health, which are assessed before treatment.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually starts with your dental history and concerns, an examination and often X-rays or a scan. The implant dentist will explain what they find, outline the options with their pros, cons and typical costs, and answer your questions so you can decide without pressure.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring a list of your medicines and medical conditions, any recent dental X-rays or referral letters, and note down your main concerns and questions. If cost matters to you, it is reasonable to ask for a written treatment plan and estimate before starting.
After your consultation and follow-up
You may leave with a treatment plan, a follow-up appointment, or a referral for further care. Complex treatment is often staged over several visits, with reviews to check healing and results. Good day-to-day oral hygiene and attending reviews help protect the outcome.
Booking, referrals and fees
Many patients book directly; some are referred by their general dentist. Fees vary with the treatment and the individual case and are not quotes — confirm current charges with the clinic. Ask whether MediSave or insurance applies to any surgical portion of your treatment.
Common questions
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular reviews, implants can last many years; longevity varies with the individual case and how well the surrounding gum and bone are maintained.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Suitability depends on your jawbone, gum health and general health. The dentist will assess these — sometimes with a 3D scan — before recommending implants or an alternative.
Is implant surgery painful?
Placement is usually done under local anaesthetic, with sedation available in some cases. Mild discomfort and swelling afterwards are common and typically settle within a few days.
How long does the whole process take?
Implant treatment is often staged over a few months to allow healing between placement and the final restoration, though timelines vary with the case.
