Patient FAQs
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
Suitability depends on factors such as bone health, overall oral health and your individual circumstances. Tom’s treatment planning includes a CBCT 3D scan and diagnostic impressions, so he can properly assess your suitability and talk you through your options.
How long does the implant process take from start to finish?
This varies from patient to patient depending on the complexity of the case, whether bone grafting is required, and healing time. Tom will give you a clear idea of the expected timeline
for your specific treatment plan at your consultation.
How much do implants cost, and does health insurance cover them?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case and the number of implants required. Many health funds offer some level of cover for implant treatment under extras policies — the team can help you understand your options and provide a personalised quote.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Implant procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout. Some patients experience mild soreness during healing, which is generally manageable with standard pain relief.
How long do implants last compared with a bridge or denture?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants are designed to be a long term solution. Tom can discuss how implants compare with bridges and dentures for your specific situation during your consultation.
