The Implant Process
Relaxed Consultation →
Your first visit is calm, unhurried, and all about clarity. We’ll chat about what’s bothering you, what you’d like to change, and what a great outcome looks like for you. We’ll check your mouth and gums, and if needed we’ll take scans or X-rays to understand the bone and plan safely. You’ll leave knowing your options, the likely timescales, and the costs.
No hard sell, no pressure, and no awkward “decision on the day” feeling. Just honest guidance for replacing missing teeth.
Implant Placement →
Once your plan is agreed, we place the implant with care and precision. This is the small titanium post that acts like a new tooth root. We’ll keep you comfortable throughout, and we’ll explain what you might feel afterwards, like mild tenderness or a bruised sensation, similar to knocking your knee on a coffee table.
Most people return to normal routines quickly, and we’ll give you clear aftercare instructions so healing stays smooth and predictable.
Healing & integration →
Next comes the quiet “behind the scenes” stage: osseointegration. This is where your jawbone naturally bonds with the implant surface, locking it in place so it becomes a stable foundation. This healing phase often takes around 3 to 6 months, depending on your health and bone. We’ll check in as needed, and you’ll know exactly what’s happening and why.
Fitting of Your New Tooth
When the implant is fully integrated, we fit the restoration, the tooth-shaped part you see and chew with. It’s custom-made to blend with your smile, matching the shape and colour so it looks natural.
We’ll carefully adjust the bite so it feels comfortable when you eat and speak, not “high” or awkward. This is the moment many patients describe as a relief: smiling without thinking, enjoying meals again, and feeling like themselves.
That’s the finish line!
FAQs about Implants & Replacing Missing Teeth
How can I cover two missing teeth?
There are a few good ways to replace two missing teeth, and the best fit depends on the gap and the teeth either side. Options often include two implants (one for each tooth), an implant bridge (fewer implants supporting more teeth), or a removable partial denture. At your consultation for dental implants in Fareham, we’ll talk you through the pros and cons in plain English, so it feels like choosing the right pair of shoes, not decoding a manual!
Can missing teeth be replaced?
Yes. Missing teeth can usually be replaced with dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
Implants are a fixed option designed to feel secure when you eat, talk, and smile, while bridges and dentures can suit different budgets and situations.
If you’ve been putting it off, you’re not alone. We’ll keep it calm, explain your options, and help you choose what makes sense for your mouth and your life.
What’s the cheapest option to replace missing teeth?
In most cases, a removable denture is the lowest-cost way to fill a gap. A simple bridge can sometimes be a mid-range option, depending on the teeth next door.
Dental implants tend to be a bigger investment because they replace the root as well as the tooth. We’ll always be clear about costs before you decide, without awkwardness or pressure.
A single tooth implant is likely to cost around £208/month on 0% finance over 1 year.
A full lower denture supported on fixed dental implants is likely to cost around £408.33 per month on 0% finance over one year.
What are the costs?
An implant consultation with Dr. Kovas is £75. This includes a full new patient assessment consisting of:
1. X-rays and photographic records
2. A discussion about your concerns
3. An analysis of the treatment possibilities
4. A full treatment plan and costings
A single tooth implant is likely to cost around £208/month on 0% finance over 1 year.
A full lower denture supported on fixed dental implants is likely to cost around £408.33 per month on 0% finance over one year.
I have really bad teeth. What are my options in the UK?
If your teeth feel beyond saving, there are still options. That might include stabilising gum health, repairing what can be repaired, removing painful teeth, and replacing missing teeth with dentures, bridges, or dental implants. In the UK implants are only provided privately. The key thing is you won’t be judged. We’ll simply work out a plan, step by step, at your pace.
What are the steps of getting dental implants?
Most implant journeys follow four stages:
- A relaxed consultation and planning
- Implant placement (the “new root”)
- Healing while the implant bonds with the bone
- Fitting the final tooth or teeth
We’ll guide you through it like a well lit path, so you always know what happens next and why.
How painful is getting an implant?
During treatment, the area is fully numbed, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Afterwards, most people describe it like a bruised jaw or a tender spot after bumping your elbow, noticeable but manageable. We’ll explain what’s normal, how to keep comfortable, and when to call us if something doesn’t feel right.
Do you get temporary teeth while waiting for implants?
Yes, most often. Depending on your situation, you may be able to have a temporary tooth, a temporary bridge, or a denture while healing happens. Sometimes an immediate temporary is possible, and sometimes it’s safer to let everything settle first. We’ll talk you through what’s realistic for you, so you’re not left guessing.
How long do you have no teeth when getting implants?
Many patients have no visible gap at all, especially when the missing tooth is at the front, because a temporary option can usually be arranged. If a temporary isn’t suitable, the “gap time” depends on healing and the position of the tooth. Either way, we plan ahead so you feel comfortable socially, not like you’re hiding your smile. If you’re considering dental implants in Fareham, book a consultation and let’s map out a plan that fits your life.
