Who is suitable for Dental Implants?

Dr Howard Jones here at Bealby and Jones Dental will be able to determine for certain if you are suitable for dental implants. He will assess the general condition of your mouth and look at the quantity and quality of bone to see if dental implants are an appropriate treatment for you. Radiographs (x-rays) will be taken at your Implant consultation appointment, of the area which will give an indication of the amount of bone available for implant placement.

How is a Dental Implant placed?

Dental implants are usually placed under local anesthetic in a very gentle manner. Following this you should expect a degree of discomfort and swelling for several days, but you will be able to continue normally fairly soon afterwards. Full after care advice is given following this procedure and if you are in any doubt we provide a telephone number where we can be contacted to offer you reassurance and advice.

Does it Hurt?

The procedure is relatively straightforward and is commonly done under local anesthetic. You may experience discomfort post surgery but you will likely be advised to take painkillers after the surgery to help with any pain you may experience.
