Dental implants replace missing teeth with a titanium post placed into the jawbone. All-on-Implants™ use 4–6 implants to support a full arch of teeth.

Important information

• Implant treatment may involve additional procedures (bone grafting, sinus lifts).

• Treatment usually requires 3 to 6 visits. Some temporary adjustments to daily routines may be needed.

• Recovery varies; most patients resume normal activity in a few days, though full healing may take months.

• Long-term maintenance and strict oral hygiene are essential.

Potential risks and considerations

• Surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, swelling, bruising, and rarely sinus or nerve complications.

• Implant failure: Sometimes implants don’t integrate with bone and need replacement.

• Recovery: Discomfort, swelling, and fatigue are common but usually managed with medication. Smoking increases risks.

• Lifestyle changes: Soft foods are advised during healing. Avoid strenuous activity for 7–10 days.

• Prosthesis care: Implant-supported teeth (crowns, bridges, or full-arch) need regular maintenance and eventual replacement.

Important information

• Veneer treatment may involve additional procedures (e.g. gum reshaping). These carry their own risks.

• Treatment usually takes 2 to 6 visits depending on complexity. Most patients continue daily activities as normal, but some may require short rest or recovery.

• Healing times vary. On average, teeth settle within two weeks after placement.

• Ongoing care is essential. Your dentist will provide a personalised maintenance plan, which may involve additional costs.

Potential risks and considerations

• Tooth preparation & sensitivity: Enamel is removed permanently; sensitivity may occur.

• Durability: Veneers may chip, fracture, or detach—especially with grinding or clenching.

• Aesthetic outcomes: Results are matched closely to natural teeth but may not meet expectations.

• Gum health: Poor hygiene or ill-fitting veneers can cause irritation or inflammation.

• Post-treatment effects: Bite adjustments may be needed. Rarely, patients may react to anaesthetics or materials.

Important information

• Treatment is long-term and requires wearing retainers indefinitely to maintain results.

• Treatment time varies depending on complexity and compliance.

• Daily routines usually continue as normal, but lifestyle adjustments may be required.

• Mild discomfort when changing aligners is common.

• Ongoing monitoring and maintenance may involve additional costs.

Potential risks and considerations

• Compliance: Poor wear time can prolong treatment or reduce effectiveness.

• Treatment limitations: Severe bite/jaw issues may need extra procedures.

• Oral health: Inadequate hygiene may cause decay, gum disease, or enamel markings.

• Functional effects: Temporary speech changes, salivation differences, or gum irritation may occur.

• Retention: Teeth may shift without consistent retainer wear.

• Other: Some cases require attachments or minor enamel reshaping.
