Consultation and Planning
Your dental implant journey begins with an assessment of your teeth, gums and overall oral health. Relevant imaging may also be used to help determine suitable treatment options and whether any additional dental care is required before proceeding.
Implant Placement and Healing
If implant placement forms part of your treatment plan, your dentist will explain the next steps and how the treatment will be coordinated. Once an implant has been placed, a healing period is generally required before the final restoration can be completed. The time needed varies depending on individual healing, oral health and treatment requirements.
Treatment Timeline
Dental implant treatment usually takes place over several appointments and may extend over several months because healing is required between stages. The overall timeframe varies depending on individual healing, the number of implants, oral health and whether any additional treatment is required.
Final Implant Restoration
Once the implant and surrounding tissues are ready, a custom crown, bridge or other implant-supported restoration can be fitted to replace the missing tooth or teeth and support everyday function.
Ongoing Care
Regular dental reviews and good oral hygiene remain important after treatment. Our team can provide advice on caring for your implant restoration and surrounding teeth and gums.

Yes, dental implants may be included as part of a broader treatment plan where clinically appropriate. Depending on your dental health and goals, this may also include treatments such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening or clear aligners. Our dental team can discuss suitable options following an assessment.
Dental implants are generally considered once jaw growth is complete. For younger patients, alternative treatment options may be recommended until they are old enough to be assessed for implant treatment.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root and is paired with a custom crown to restore function and appearance.
A crown also repairs a damaged tooth by covering it like a cap. Bridges use nearby teeth to support one or more replacement teeth.
Unlike implants, bridges and crowns don’t replace the tooth root.
Yes. Regular dental check-ups help monitor the implant, surrounding gums and nearby teeth. Ongoing reviews and good oral hygiene are important for maintaining implant-supported restorations and overall oral health.
Yes, flexible payment options may be available for eligible patients. Our team can explain the available plans, payment terms and any applicable eligibility requirements so you can consider the option that suits your circumstances.
The cost of dental implant treatment varies depending on the number of teeth being replaced, the type of restoration, imaging requirements and whether additional treatment is needed. Following an assessment, our team can provide an individual treatment plan and cost estimate. Flexible payment options are also available.
Age alone does not determine whether someone is suitable for dental implant treatment. Suitability depends on factors such as general health, oral and gum health, available bone, medications and individual treatment needs. Patients in their 70s can be assessed to determine whether implant treatment or another tooth-replacement option may be appropriate.
Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
