Dental Implant Process

Your journey to a healthy, confident smile.

Our specialist team combines advanced technology with proven techniques to deliver precise, predictable, and long-lasting implant results. From consultation to final restoration, every step is tailored to your individual needs.

What Is a Dental Implant?

The most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once integrated with the bone, it provides a secure foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration.

Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth while helping to preserve the jawbone and maintain long-term oral health.

At Newn Ham Dental, we use premium implant systems supported by decades of clinical success, ensuring exceptional strength, reliability, and aesthetics.

Precision Planning for Exceptional Results

Advanced digital technology for predictable outcomes.

Successful implant treatment begins long before the procedure itself. Using state-of-the-art 3D imaging and digital treatment planning, our specialists carefully assess your bone structure, gum health, and overall oral condition.

This detailed planning process allows us to place implants with exceptional accuracy while reducing treatment time and improving long-term success.

Your Dental Implant Journey

A step-by-step approach to restoring your smile.

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and advanced digital scan. We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Implant Placement

Using precision-guided techniques, the implant is carefully positioned within the jawbone to create a stable foundation for your future restoration.

Minimally invasive procedure
Comfortable treatment experience
Sedation options available
Same-day temporary teeth available for suitable patients

Step 3: Healing & Integration

Over the following months, the implant naturally bonds with the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration. This creates the strong, stable support needed for a long-lasting result.

Regular reviews allow our team to monitor healing and ensure everything is progressing as planned.

Step 4: Your Bespoke Restoration

Once healing is complete, your final restoration is expertly crafted to match the shape, colour, and appearance of your natural teeth.

Whether it’s a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration, every detail is designed to achieve a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Step 5: Long-Term Care & Maintenance

Dental implants are designed to last for many years with proper care. Regular dental hygiene appointments and good oral hygiene at home play an important role in maintaining the health of your implants and surrounding tissues.

Our team will provide ongoing guidance and support to help protect your investment and keep your smile looking its best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having lived with crowded teeth for most of my life, I was delighted when Dr Abela told me that straightening them might well be possible. From his initial assessment to completing the treatment, he and his team have been professional and thorough, friendly and reassuring. He explained what was happening and what to expect. Two years on, my teeth are beautifully straight, they look and feel so much better and are easier to keep clean and healthy. I am delighted with the outcome. Thank you, Dr Abela.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m very impressed by Dr. Stefan’s competency and professionalism. As a transfer patient who has received contradictory advice from other orthodontists, Dr. Stefan was able to deliver a persuasive opinion backed up by digestible evidence. He reviewed the materials I shared in advance of my appointment, and within minutes of examining me, he was able to provide a diagnosis and articulate the rationales to me. He listened to my concerns and promptly followed up with referrals. I feel heard and assured. The administrative staff is responsive, patient, and professional. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Stefan.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Dr. Milisha enough. She is so caring and thoughtful and I am really happy with the end result. Absolutely no pain felt at all through the process of providing me with 3 dental implants and not many dentists would phone you to check you are ok after undergoing the preparatory work. I just couldn't face living my life with a dental plate and now I have a smile to be proud of thanks to her first class treatment. Thank you so much.

Common Questions

FAQ's Treatment Process

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are advanced tooth replacement solutions designed to replace missing tooth roots. Made from biocompatible titanium, implants are placed into the jawbone and provide a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth while helping to preserve jawbone health.

Who Is Suitable for Dental Implants?

Most adults with good oral and general health are suitable candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone support is important, but even patients with reduced bone volume may still be eligible for treatment through advanced implant techniques and customised treatment planning.

A comprehensive consultation will determine the most appropriate solution for your individual needs.

What Does the Dental Implant Process Involve?

Dental implant treatment typically includes several stages:

Comprehensive consultation and assessment
Digital imaging and treatment planning
Placement of the dental implant
Healing and integration with the jawbone
Attachment of the final restoration

In many cases, temporary teeth can be provided during treatment, allowing patients to maintain comfort and confidence throughout the process.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

With proper care and regular dental maintenance, dental implants can provide a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Good oral hygiene, routine professional care, and regular reviews all contribute to the long-term success of implant treatment.

Are Dental Implants Better Than Dentures?

Dental implants offer several advantages over removable dentures, including:

Improved stability and comfort
Enhanced chewing ability
Natural appearance and feel
Preservation of jawbone structure
Greater confidence when speaking and eating

Many patients choose implants because they provide a fixed, reliable solution that closely replicates natural teeth.

What Is Full-Arch Implant Treatment?

Full-arch implant treatment uses strategically placed dental implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. This approach can often provide a fixed alternative to removable dentures and may reduce the need for extensive bone grafting in suitable cases.

Can I Have Dental Implants If I Have Bone Loss?

Yes. Many patients with bone loss can still benefit from dental implant treatment. Depending on your individual situation, advanced procedures may be recommended to create a stable foundation for implant placement.

A detailed assessment will help determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of dental implant treatment varies depending on the number of implants required, the complexity of treatment, and the type of restoration being provided.

Following your consultation, we will provide a personalised treatment plan with clear pricing and a full explanation of all available options.

How Do I Care for Dental Implants?

Dental implants should be cared for in much the same way as natural teeth.

We recommend:

Brushing twice daily
Cleaning between teeth and implants regularly
Attending routine hygiene appointments
Visiting your dentist for regular reviews
Avoiding smoking where possible

Proper maintenance helps ensure the long-term health and success of your implants.
