Dental Implant Placement Procedure

At London Dental Specialists, the dental implant placement procedure is a crucial step in restoring your smile. This surgical phase involves precisely inserting the implant into your jawbone, creating a sturdy foundation for your new tooth.

What Happens During Implant Placement

• Local Anaesthesia: We ensure your comfort by thoroughly numbing the treatment area.


• Precise Incision: A small cut is made in the gum to expose the jawbone.


• Implant Insertion: Using advanced techniques, we carefully place the titanium implant into your jaw.


• Initial Stability Check: We confirm the implant is securely positioned before closing the gum.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Results

Our clinic utilises cutting-edge technology to enhance the precision and success of your implant placement:

• 3D-guided Surgery: Ensures exact implant positioning for optimal aesthetics and function.


• Computer-assisted Planning: Minimises risks and improves overall outcomes.


• High-quality Implant Materials: We use only premium, biocompatible titanium implants for long-lasting results.

Post-Procedure Care

After the implant placement, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions:

• Pain Management: Guidance on managing any discomfort with prescribed or over-the-counter medications.


• Oral Hygiene: Specific instructions for keeping the surgical site clean without disturbing healing.


• Dietary Recommendations: Advice on suitable foods to eat during the initial healing phase.


• Activity Restrictions: Guidelines on activities to avoid to ensure proper healing.

The Healing Process

Following implant placement, a period of healing called osseointegration begins:

• Duration: Typically 3-6 months, depending on individual factors.


• Process: The jawbone grows around and fuses with the implant, creating a strong anchor.


• Monitoring: Regular check-ups to ensure proper healing and integration.

Next Steps in Your Implant Treatment

Once healing is complete, we proceed to the next phases:

1. Abutment placement


2. Creation of your custom crown or prosthetic


3. Final fitting and adjustments

At London Dental Specialists, our expert team ensures your dental implant placement is carried out with the utmost precision and care. We're committed to providing you with a comfortable experience and exceptional results, restoring both your smile and confidence.

Post Dental Implants Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your dental implants. At London Dental Specialists, we provide comprehensive guidance to ensure your implants integrate successfully and last for years to come. This final step in our process is crucial for maintaining your new smile.

Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours)

• Bleeding Management: Some minor bleeding is normal. Gently bite on gauze pads and replace as needed.


• Pain Control: Take prescribed medications as directed to manage discomfort.


• Ice Application: Apply cold packs to the outside of your face to reduce swelling.


• Rest: Avoid strenuous activities for at least 48 hours after surgery.

Short-Term Care (First Two Weeks)

During the initial healing phase, follow these guidelines:

• Soft Food Diet: Consume soft, nutritious foods and avoid chewing near the implant site.


• Oral Hygiene: Clean your mouth carefully, avoiding direct brushing of the surgical area.


• Avoid Smoking: Smoking significantly impairs healing and can lead to implant failure.


• Rinse Gently: Use prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash to keep the area clean.

Long-Term Maintenance

Once your dental implant has fully integrated:

• Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule examinations every 6 months to monitor your implants.


• Professional Cleanings: Regular hygiene appointments help prevent peri-implantitis.


• Daily Home Care: Use soft-bristled brushes, interdental brushes, and unwaxed tape floss.


• Avoid Hard Foods: Protect your implants by avoiding excessive force on hard or sticky foods.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Contact us immediately if you experience:

• Persistent Pain: Discomfort that increases rather than decreases after surgery.


• Excessive Bleeding: Bleeding that continues beyond 24 hours.
