How this treatment works

## How dental implant treatment works

Treatment happens in stages, with a healing period between placing the implant and fitting the new tooth.

1. Before you travel

    ### Online consultation

    Send a recent X-ray or photos of your teeth. A dentist replies with a personalised plan and a written quote.
2. Stage 1

    ### Examination and planning

    Your dentist examines your mouth and checks your jawbone on X-rays. Your plan should explain each stage and its cost.
3. If needed

    ### Bone grafting

    If there is not enough bone, a graft builds it up first, which can add 4 to 6 months. In the upper back jaw, a sinus lift makes room for new bone.
4. Stage 2

    ### Placing the implant

    Under local anaesthetic, the implant is placed in the jawbone and the gum is closed with stitches. Discomfort should last no more than about a week.
5. Healing

    ### The implant bonds with the bone

    The implant bonds with the bone, usually over around four months. Implants buried under the gum need a small procedure to uncover them.
6. Stage 3

    ### New teeth and aftercare

    The crown, bridge or denture is attached. Clean around it daily with interdental brushes and keep regular check-ups.

These are the usual steps of this treatment at Vita Smile. Timelines depend on your bone, your health and your plan; your dentist confirms them after examining you.
