Dental implants are often the best option for replacing missing teeth. They’re long-lasting, natural-looking, and can restore both function and confidence. A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, which acts like the root of a tooth. It holds a custom-made crown in place and helps maintain bone structure by transferring biting force just like a real tooth would.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implants can help you feel like yourself again. You’ll look better, speak more clearly, and enjoy food without discomfort or worry.

Meet Your Dental Implant Dentist

What Is the Dental Implant Process?

Consultation

You’ll meet with our Implant Dentist, who will discuss what you want to achieve, assess your needs and take X-rays to check your suitability.

Implant Placement

At the next appointment, we’ll place the implant under local anaesthetic. It’s a straightforward procedure, and most patients return to work the next day.

Healing Phase

The implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone. This usually takes a few months.

Abutment Placement

Once healing is complete, we make a small incision and place a little button (abutment) which supports the final crown. This needs to heal for 2-3 weeks.

Impressions & Lab Work

We’ll take moulds of your mouth, which are then sent off to the lab to create your bespoke crown.

Crown Fit

Once your crown is ready, we fit it securely and check everything is comfortable. Your implant is now complete.

Dental Impant FAQs

Yes, all dental implants are carried out in-house at our Marlow-based practice. We don’t outsource any part of the process.

An implant is placed directly into the jawbone and acts like a replacement tooth root. A bridge relies on neighbouring teeth for support.

Absolutely. That’s exactly what we’ll cover during your initial consultation. If implants aren’t the right option, we’ll discuss the alternatives with you and provide quotes for each.

This depends on the amount of bone remaining in the area. We’ll assess your bone structure at your first appointment and advise on the best next steps.

Dental implants are placed under local anaesthetic, just like a filling. We’ll make sure you’re fully numb and top up the anaesthetic as needed. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but it shouldn’t be painful.

We recommend taking it easy on the day your implant is placed. Most patients are fine to return to work the next day unless they have a physically demanding job.

Yes. We can place multiple implants during a single appointment if necessary. We’ll discuss your treatment plan in detail during your consultation.

In some cases, additional bone is needed to support the implant. Bone augmentation starts from £250, and we’ll go through all potential costs upfront.

Yes, once healed, your implant will function just like a natural tooth. Just don’t use it for opening bottle caps!

This depends on healing time and your specific case, but it usually takes a few months from implant placement to final crown fit.

Just like a natural tooth! Brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments.

Yes. We regularly treat nervous patients and will adapt our approach to suit your comfort level. Whether you want everything explained or nothing at all, we’ll take it at your pace. We’re always happy to crack a joke if it helps you relax!
