Are dental implants expensive?
Dental implants are a big investment. We focus on expert planning, quality care & materials, ensuring long-term results, that enhance function & confidence.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Dental implants are mostly painless with local anaesthesia. You may feel pressure but no sharp pain. Sedation is available for complex or multiple implants.
Will I need to have bone grafting?
Thanks to advanced techniques, many patients can avoid bone grafting. When needed, we use synthetic materials that are quickly replaced by the body’s bone.
If my tooth is removed will I be left with a gap?
Instant implants and temporary teeth can prevent gaps after extraction. If infection occurs, healing is needed, but temporary options ensure no gap remains.
What are the dental implant treatment timescales?
Dental implant treatment typically takes 8-10 weeks for simple cases, but complex treatments can take up to a year. Timescales are determined at assessment.
What happens if the dental implant fails and are there any guarantees?
If a dental implant fails, The Implant Centre offers either a full refund or a free replacement. With a 97% success rate, second failures are extremely rare.
Do I need to have my tooth extracted by my dentist before coming to see you?
No, you don't need your tooth extracted before visiting. We prefer to assess the area first to create the best treatment plan for your tooth replacement.
My teeth have been missing a long time, can I still have dental implants?
Even if teeth have been missing for a long time, dental implants are often possible. We use X-rays & 3D imaging to assess bone availability & ensure safety.
