Can I get same-day dental implants in Hammersmith?

Are dental implants available on the NHS?

Dental implants are almost always a private treatment in the UK. NHS provision is limited to exceptional clinical cases such as patients with congenital defects or those who have lost teeth due to head and neck cancer treatment. Your dentist can advise if you may qualify.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution. The titanium post can last a lifetime with proper care. The crown on top may need replacing after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check ups are essential for longevity.

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

The implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Most patients report mild discomfort for a few days afterwards, manageable with over the counter painkillers. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The full dental implant process typically takes 3 to 9 months from initial consultation to final crown placement. After the implant post is placed, there is a healing period of 2 to 6 months (osseointegration) while the implant fuses with your jawbone. Same day implant options are available at some clinics.

Do I need a bone graft for dental implants?

A bone graft is needed if you have insufficient jawbone density to support an implant. This is common if you've had missing teeth for a long time. Bone grafting adds £300 to £800 to the total cost and extends the timeline by 3 to 6 months. Your dentist will assess this during your consultation with a CT scan.

What are the alternatives to dental implants?

The main alternatives are dental bridges (which attach to neighbouring teeth) and dentures (removable replacements). Bridges cost £750 to £1,500 per unit and dentures cost £300 to £2,000. Implants are generally considered the gold standard because they don't affect adjacent teeth and feel the most natural.

Can I get same day dental implants?

Yes, some clinics offer same day or immediate load implants where a temporary crown is placed on the same day as the implant post. This is most common with All on 4 treatment. Not all patients are suitable so your dentist will assess your bone quality and clinical situation.
