At West Beach Dental, many of our patients are pleasantly surprised to discover that undergoing a dental implant procedure/treatment is a more efficient and straightforward experience than they initially thought.

The duration of your dental implant treatment with us varies based on several factors. These include:

1. The number of implants you require,
2. Whether additional treatments are necessary, such as bone grafting, tooth extractions, or a sinus lift.

To ensure the success of your dental implant at West Beach Dental, there are some key requirements.

Firstly, it’s crucial to have healthy gums and a robust jawbone. Without these, the implant may not fully integrate with your jawbone, risking the success of the procedure.

Secondly, maintaining your implant is vital. While dental implants are resistant to decay, regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups at West Beach Dental are essential to prevent gum diseases that could affect your implant.

Thirdly, it’s important to understand that, like any medical procedure, dental implants come with potential risks, all be it small risks. These include the chance of infection or other complications. To learn more about this please call our dentists or discuss this in the free dental implant consultation that we are providing patients in 2024.

Some clients inquire about the possibility of completing their dental implant in one visit. Typically, the complete treatment process at West Beach Dental, from the initial consultation to the final abutment placement, spans approximately six months.

However, depending on individual circumstances, this period can extend up to twelve months for the final tooth placement.

At West Beach Dental, we are committed to providing a personalised and comfortable experience for each step of your dental implant procedure.
