Yes. Your first visit covers an examination, a discussion of options and a clear plan. Call or message us to book.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years, often decades. Gum health and habits like smoking affect longevity.

Placement is done under local anaesthesia. Most patients describe mild soreness afterwards that settles in a few days with simple medication.

Most healthy adults are. Bone volume, gum health and conditions such as diabetes are assessed at your consultation before we recommend a plan.

One implant replaces one tooth. Several implants can support a bridge or full denture, so you do not need one implant per missing tooth.

Usually two visits: one to prepare the tooth and one to fit the final crown, with a temporary in between.

A crown covers an existing tooth. A bridge replaces a missing one. After examining you, we recommend what protects the surrounding teeth best.

Yes. The shade, shape and translucency are matched to your neighbouring teeth.

Brush twice daily, clean between teeth or under the bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes, and keep regular check-ups.

Whitening lightens the natural tooth colour. Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of teeth to change colour, shape or small alignment issues.

When planned and done by a trained dentist, yes. We check your gum and tooth health first and avoid treatments that would harm them.

With good care, many years. Habits such as grinding or biting hard objects can shorten their life, and we may suggest a night guard.

Yes. Single-tooth bonding, a veneer or a crown can be colour matched to blend with your other teeth.

Most people adapt within a few weeks. Small adjustments after fitting are normal and we schedule them with you.

Start with soft foods and cut food into small pieces. Implant-supported dentures give better chewing stability than conventional ones.

Remove them daily, brush with a soft brush and denture cleaner, and soak them overnight in clean water.

They are reviewed regularly. Gums and bone change over time, so relining or replacement is often needed every few years.

You should feel pressure but not pain because the area is numbed. Mild soreness afterwards is common and manageable.

Most people feel better within a few days. The gum heals over one to two weeks.

Avoid rinsing hard, spitting, straws and smoking for the first day or as advised, to protect the blood clot.

Usually yes. A gap can let neighbouring teeth drift. We discuss implants, bridges or dentures at the same visit.
