For patients who want a fixed tooth but feel uneasy about the word surgery
An implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth. The idea of having something fitted into bone puts many people off, and some live with a gap for years because of it. At our Khar clinic we spend the first visit talking, not treating, so you can decide with clear information.
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb throughout. For patients who are tense about the procedure, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can be given alongside to take the edge off. You remain awake and in control the whole time.

Unlike a conventional bridge, a single implant does not need the teeth on either side to be trimmed down for support.
Implant treatment happens in stages over several months. Each stage is explained beforehand, and you can ask for sedation at any surgical visit.
Assessment: the dentist checks your gums, bite and general health, and takes X-rays. A 3D scan may be advised to measure the bone. Not everyone is suited to an implant straight away. Low bone volume, gum disease, smoking and poorly controlled diabetes can all affect the plan, and we will tell you plainly if they apply to you.
Placement day: after the anaesthetic takes effect, you will feel pushing and vibration but should not feel sharp pain. The implant is placed, the gum is closed, and you go home the same day. Most single implants take less time than patients expect.
The first week: some swelling, tenderness and occasionally bruising are normal. Soft food, cold compresses and the medicines prescribed by your dentist usually keep this manageable. We will explain how to keep the area clean without disturbing it.
Healing and the final tooth: the bone needs time to bond with the implant. This commonly takes a few months and varies from person to person. Once the implant is stable, impressions or scans are taken and a crown is attached. This last stage is not surgical and is usually comfortable.
Get StartedThese points come up in almost every implant consultation. Knowing them early makes the decision less daunting.
Bone shrinks after a tooth is lost. Scans show whether there is enough to hold an implant, or whether bone grafting might be suggested first.
From placement to final crown often takes several months. Extra steps such as extractions or grafting add to this. Your dentist will give a timeline for your case.
Tell us about diabetes, heart conditions, blood thinners, pregnancy and any regular medicines. These do not always rule out implants, but they change how we plan.
Implants cannot decay, but the gum around them can become infected. Daily cleaning and regular check-ups are needed to keep an implant healthy.
Most implants integrate successfully, yet a small number do not, and the risk is higher in smokers and in people with untreated gum disease. We would rather discuss this openly at the start than surprise you later. If an implant is not right for you, we will explain the alternatives.
