Frequently Asked Patient Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about dental implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once integrated with your bone (a process called osseointegration), they support artificial teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. They're the closest thing to natural teeth, providing a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your original teeth.
What happens during the consultation?
Your consultation includes a comprehensive oral exam, medical history review, and 3D CT scan to assess bone density and structure. The dentist will discuss your goals, explain treatment options, and create a customized treatment plan. You'll receive a detailed timeline, cost breakdown, and have all questions answered.
What's the average cost of dental implants?
In the UK, a single dental implant typically costs between £2,000-£4,500. This includes the implant fixture, abutment, and crown. The exact cost depends on factors like location, dentist expertise, need for additional procedures (like bone grafting), and the quality of materials used.
How should I prepare for implant surgery?
Two weeks before: stop smoking (if applicable) and increase vitamin C intake. One week before: arrange transportation and time off work, fill prescriptions, and prepare soft foods. Night before: get good sleep, don't eat/drink after midnight if having sedation. Mental preparation is important too - most patients say anticipation was worse than reality.
Can seniors get dental implants?
Age is not a barrier to dental implants - successful placement in patients 80+ is common. In fact, seniors often benefit most from implants' stability and improved nutrition. Key factors are overall health, not age: controlled medical conditions, adequate bone density, and ability to maintain oral hygiene matter more.
What credentials should I look for in an implant dentist?
Look for specialists with advanced training: oral surgeons, periodontists, or prosthodontists have 3-4 years additional education beyond dental school. General dentists with extensive implant training (300+ hours) and certification from organizations like AAID or ICOI are also qualified. Ask about annual implant volume - experienced providers place 50+ yearly.
