After

Single implant and crown · 4 months

Upper right first premolar, lost to a fracture.

02 · What it is

An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jaw, which then holds a crown. It does not rely on the teeth beside it, and it does not come out.

03 · What happens

01
Assessment and scan
A 3D scan shows the bone and where the implant can sit. About an hour.
02
Placement
The post is placed under local anaesthetic. Most people go back to work the next day.
03
Healing
Three to four months while the bone grows around the post. You leave with a temporary tooth.
04
The crown
The final tooth is made and fitted. One appointment.

04 · Questions

The things people actually ask

Does it hurt?+

The placement is done under local anaesthetic. Most people describe the following days as an ache rather than pain.

How long does an implant last?+

With good hygiene, decades. The crown on top may need replacing sooner.

What if I don't have enough bone?+

A graft can build it up first. This is decided at the scan, not on the day.
