Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are suitable for most healthy adults. You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth due to decay, injury, or extraction
- Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support an implant
- Do not smoke, or are willing to quit during the healing period
- Are free from uncontrolled diabetes or other systemic conditions affecting healing
- Are looking for a long-term, fixed solution rather than removable dentures
Your Dental Implant Journey at W12 Dental & Implant Centre
We make the implant process as clear, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
Here is what to expect at every stage:
- Free Consultation & Assessment — Our implantologist reviews your dental and medical history, examines your mouth, and takes digital X-rays or 3D CBCT scans to evaluate bone density and plan precise implant placement.
- Personalised Treatment Plan — You receive a detailed plan including timelines, costs, and finance options. There are no hidden fees.
- Implant Placement — Under local anaesthetic (sedation available), the titanium post is placed into the jawbone. Most patients describe the procedure as surprisingly comfortable.
- Healing & Osseointegration — Over the next 6–12 weeks, the implant fuses with your bone. A temporary crown may be provided during this time.
- Abutment & Final Crown — Once healed, an abutment is placed and your custom-made permanent crown is fitted. The result: a tooth that looks and feels completely natural.
- Aftercare & Ongoing Support — We provide comprehensive aftercare guidance and schedule follow-up check-ups to ensure your implant lasts for years to come.
Aftercare: How to Look After Your Dental Implant
One of the most common questions we hear at W12 Dental is: how long do dental implants last? With the right care, they can last a lifetime. Here is how to protect your investment:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
- Floss or use interdental brushes around the implant daily
- Attend regular check-ups and hygiene visits at W12 Dental & Implant Centre
- Avoid smoking, which significantly reduces implant success rates
- Limit hard foods such as ice or hard sweets that could damage the crown
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth

Types of Implants We Offer at W12 Dental
Single Tooth Implants
The most common type. A single titanium implant post replaces one missing tooth with a precision-crafted crown on top. Ideal for patients who have lost one tooth and want a permanent, natural-looking solution without affecting adjacent teeth.
Multiple Teeth Implants (Implant-Supported Bridge)
If you have lost several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge uses two or more implant posts to anchor a multi-tooth restoration — without filing down healthy neighbouring teeth.
Full Arch / All-on-4 Implants
For patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, the All-on-4 technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This is a life-changing treatment that provides a complete, fixed smile in fewer visits than traditional methods.
Same-Day Dental Implants
In selected cases, W12 Dental & Implant Centre can place an implant and attach a temporary crown on the very same day. This option is assessed on a case-by-case basis and depends on jawbone quality and individual clinical needs.

Dental Implants - Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. It is performed under local anaesthetic, and you should feel no pain during the placement. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. We also offer sedation for anxious patients.
Age alone is not a barrier to dental implants. Many of our patients are in their 60s, 70s, and beyond. The key factors are overall health, bone density, and gum condition — all of which we assess during your free initial consultation.
Dental implants are not routinely available on the NHS and are considered a private treatment in most cases. At W12 Dental & Implant Centre, we offer transparent private pricing with flexible finance to make implants accessible.
