Dental Implant FAQs by Dr Nikhil Oberai
If you have a question about dental implants, the answer is almost certainly here. If it is not, call us or send a message and I will answer it personally.
Every question patients ask me. Answered honestly, in plain English.
Over a decade of treating implant patients, I have heard the same questions come up again and again. Sometimes in the consultation room. Sometimes in a message sent at 11pm by someone who has been weighing up treatment for months and finally decided to find out.
Every answer on this page is written by me, in my own words. Not a clinical handbook. Not a list of disclaimers. Just honest answers to real questions, the same way I would answer them if you were sitting across from me at either of my Cheshire practices.
If you have a question that is not covered here, the form at the bottom of this page comes directly to my team. We will get back to you within one working day.

- The basics
Understanding Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Once it has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is fitted on top. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the natural tooth that was there before. The titanium post is invisible beneath the gumline. What you and everyone around you sees is the crown, which is designed to match the colour, shape, and size of the teeth around it. Most patients, and most people they meet, cannot tell the difference. That is the point.
A dental implant is the recommended solution whenever a tooth has been lost, whether through decay, gum disease, an accident, or an extraction, and the patient wants a permanent, fixed replacement. It is the only tooth-replacement option that replaces both the visible tooth above the gumline and the root beneath it. I would say implants should be considered for every patient who has lost a tooth and is in suitable health to have one. Not every patient will go ahead, and not every patient is immediately suitable. But every patient deserves to know that this option exists and what it involves.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. For patients who prefer sedation, that is always available. I make a small incision in the gum and place the titanium post carefully into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. The gum is then closed around the implant. In some cases I place a temporary crown the same day, so there is never a visible gap. In others I allow the site to heal fully before the crown stage. Which approach is right depends on the specific case, and I discuss this at the consultation before anything is agreed. The placement itself typically takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the complexity of the case.
Osseointegration is the process by which the titanium implant fuses with the surrounding jawbone. It is a completely natural biological process. Over a period of 6 to 12 weeks, the bone cells grow into the surface of the titanium post, creating a bond that is just as stable as the bond between a natural tooth root and the bone. This is what makes dental implants so different from every other tooth replacement option. The implant is not just sitting in the mouth. It is genuinely integrated with the jaw. That integration is what gives it the stability, the longevity, and the bone-preserving properties that dentures and bridges cannot replicate.
A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by crowning the two adjacent healthy teeth on either side and suspending a false tooth between them. This requires the permanent alteration of two teeth that may have nothing wrong with them. It also does not prevent the bone beneath the gap from continuing to recede, because there is no root stimulating it. A dental implant stands completely independently. No adjacent tooth is touched. The implant post stimulates the jawbone the way a natural root does. And a dental implant, maintained properly, can last a lifetime. A bridge typically needs replacing after 10 to 15 years. For most patients, a dental implant is the more conservative and more cost-effective long-term solution, even where the upfront cost is higher.
With normal brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups, the titanium root component of a dental implant can last a lifetime. My implant success rate across more than 1,000 cases over 10 years is 99.5%, and that figure reflects the long-term stability of properly planned and placed implants. The porcelain crown on top may need replacing after 15 to 20 years due to normal wear. But the implant itself, once integrated, is designed to be permanent. It is genuinely the last tooth replacement most patients will ever need.
I'll add these as new questions slotted into the relevant existing categories, all in the standard bold-title-with-body format. One flag before they go live: several of the phrases you have pasted are keyword targets rather than natural questions, so I have written each as a real question a patient would ask while keeping the target phrase in the wording so it still works for search and AI. I have also followed the site's compliance rules, so I have avoided unqualified superlative claims like "the best" stated as fact, and instead let the credentials and patient ratings carry it.
Dental implants can be placed by a general dentist with appropriate training, but the most predictable results tend to come from a clinician who has formal postgraduate qualifications in implantology and places implants regularly rather than occasionally. The things worth looking for are a recognised qualification such as an MSc in Dental Implantology, a high volume of cases, an evidenced success rate, and experience with complex presentations rather than only straightforward single teeth. I hold an MSc in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester, teach the same programme as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow, and have a 99.5% success rate across more than 1,000 cases. The free 3D Smile Assessment is where you can judge for yourself whether I am the right clinician for your case.
In many cases yes, though it depends on the specific condition and how well it is controlled. Some autoimmune conditions, and some of the medications used to manage them, can affect healing and integration, which is why a thorough medical history is part of every assessment. Where an autoimmune condition is well managed, implant treatment is often still possible, sometimes in conjunction with your GP or specialist to confirm you are in a suitable position to proceed. Please do not assume an autoimmune diagnosis rules you out. Come in for a proper assessment and I will give you an honest view based on your specific situation.
Yes, many smokers have successful implant treatment. Smoking does increase the risk of implant failure and can slow healing, and I will always be direct with patients about that. It does not make implants impossible. Where a patient smokes, I discuss the increased risk at the consultation and advise on how to reduce it, including stopping or cutting down in the period around the procedure. The decision is yours to make with full information.
- Suitability and assessment
Am I Suitable for Dental Implants?
This is one of the most important questions I can answer honestly, because there is a lot of misinformation out there about what does and does not rule someone out. The factors that can delay or complicate implant treatment are: insufficient bone at the implant site, active gum disease, uncontrolled teeth grinding, certain autoimmune conditions, and a history of radiotherapy in the jaw area. In some cases, certain medications also need to be reviewed before treatment can begin. What I want to make clear is that most of these are not absolute barriers. They are factors that need to be managed or addressed before treatment proceeds. Low bone density can often be resolved with a bone graft or with advanced implant techniques. Active gum disease can be stabilised. Uncontrolled teeth grinding can be managed with a bite guard. If you have any of these concerns, please do not assume you are unsuitable. Come and let me assess the situation properly with a CT scan before drawing any conclusions.
The honest answer is that you cannot know without a 3D CT scan. A standard dental X-ray gives a two-dimensional picture that does not reliably show the volume and density of bone available in three dimensions. The cone beam CT scan I carry out at every free 3D Smile Assessment gives me a precise, complete picture of what is there. If the scan shows that bone volume is insufficient for a conventional implant, that is the starting point for a different conversation, not the end of the road. Bone grafting, sinus lifts, zygomatic implants, and other advanced techniques exist specifically to address bone deficiency. I will always tell you honestly what the options are after reviewing your scan.
Not while the gum disease is active. Placing implants into a mouth with untreated, progressive gum disease significantly increases the risk of implant failure. The disease needs to be brought under control first. Once the gum disease is stabilised through professional treatment and a consistent oral hygiene routine, implants become a viable option for many patients. The key is not to write off the possibility but to address the gum disease properly first. At your free assessment I will review the current state of your gum health and advise on what needs to happen before implant treatment can begin.
No. There is no upper age limit for dental implants. I have successfully treated patients in their eighties and nineties. Age itself is not a barrier. What matters is general health and whether the specific clinical conditions for successful implant placement are met. What I do not do is tell older patients that a denture is what they should accept. Every patient deserves to know what their options are, regardless of age.
Smoking does increase the risk of implant failure and can slow the healing process. That is an honest clinical fact and I will always tell patients this directly. However, it does not make implants impossible. Many smokers have successful implant treatment. Where a patient smokes, I will discuss the increased risk at the consultation and advise on how to minimise it, including stopping or significantly reducing smoking in the period around the procedure. The decision is the patient's to make with full information.
Well-controlled diabetes is not a barrier to dental implant treatment. Uncontrolled diabetes does increase the risk of complications, including slower healing and higher infection risk. Where a patient has diabetes, I work in conjunction with their GP or specialist to confirm that blood sugar levels are well managed before treatment proceeds. If you have diabetes and are interested in implants, please do not assume it is not possible. Come and have a conversation. The free assessment will establish whether and how treatment can proceed for your specific situation.
Yes. I would always encourage this. The cases I find most rewarding to assess are the ones that arrive having already heard no from somewhere else. In a significant proportion of those cases, I find a viable route forward that the previous assessment did not consider or was not equipped to offer. Being told you are unsuitable for implants is sometimes accurate. But it is also sometimes a reflection of the limits of what a particular clinician offers, rather than a definitive statement about what is clinically possible. A 3D CT scan at my practice gives both of us a proper picture of what is actually achievable for your specific anatomy.

One flag before they go live: several of the phrases you have pasted are keyword targets rather than natural questions, so I have written each as a real question a patient would ask while keeping the target phrase in the wording so it still works for search and AI.

The decision is yours to make with full information.
- The procedure
The Procedure: What to Expect
This is the question almost every patient asks first, and the honest answer is that most people are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. It is carried out under local anaesthetic, which means you should not feel pain during the placement, just pressure and movement. The anticipation is almost always worse than the experience. After the anaesthetic wears off, there is typically some tenderness for a day or two. Most patients manage this with standard pain relief. Some experience mild swelling or bruising around the area. My team provides detailed aftercare guidance before you leave, and we are available throughout the recovery period for any questions. Sedation is available throughout the procedure for any patient who would find it helpful, and I am happy to discuss this at the consultation.
Yes, absolutely. We offer IV sedation at both my Northwich and Wilmslow practices, and it is an option I discuss with every patient who has significant anxiety about the procedure. Under sedation, you remain conscious but deeply relaxed and largely unaware of what is happening. Most patients have no memory of the procedure afterwards. If sedation is something you would like, just mention it when you book your free consultation. We will make sure the appointment is arranged accordingly and give you full information about what to expect.
The implant placement itself typically takes between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on the number of implants being placed and the complexity of the case. A single tooth implant on a straightforward site is at the shorter end of that range. A more complex case, or a case where bone grafting is being carried out at the same time, takes longer. For full arch procedures, including All-on-4 and Smile-in-a-Day, the surgical day typically runs three to four hours. I discuss the expected timing in detail at the consultation so there are no surprises on the day.
For a standard single tooth implant, I recommend taking the day of the procedure and the following day to rest, and avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and smoking for at least 48 hours. Most patients return to work the next day or the day after without any difficulty. For more extensive procedures, including full arch surgery, a longer recovery period is advisable. Some patients experience more noticeable swelling or tenderness than others, and individual healing varies. I give every patient a realistic picture of what to expect at the consultation, so they can plan accordingly.
For a single tooth implant, the typical timeline from the free assessment to the fitting of the permanent crown is three to five months. This includes the healing period of 6 to 12 weeks while the implant integrates with the bone. For full arch reconstruction including All-on-4, the timeline from the surgical day to the permanent bridge is typically four to six months. In cases that require bone grafting before implant placement, the total treatment time is longer, usually 9 to 15 months from start to finish, depending on the extent of grafting needed and the healing period required. Every timeline is discussed and confirmed in writing at the free assessment.
A temporary crown is a provisional tooth placed on the implant while it heals and integrates. In the majority of cases I place a temporary crown on the same day as the implant or very shortly after, meaning there is never a visible gap throughout the treatment period. The temporary crown is not the final result. It is functional and looks natural, but the permanent crown that follows is designed in more detail to match the surrounding teeth precisely. Think of it as a placeholder that makes the healing period completely invisible to everyone around you.
- Cost and finance
Cost, Finance, and Value
At my practices in Northwich and Wilmslow, a single tooth dental implant starts from £2,550. This is a complete treatment price covering the free 3D CT scan, implant placement, abutment, and custom porcelain crown. Full arch treatment starts from £11,500 per arch on the Gold Package. Both arches start from £19,500 on the Platinum Package. Zygomatic implants for severe upper jaw bone loss start from £20,000. These are starting prices. Your exact, written, personalised cost is confirmed at the free 3D Smile Assessment, because the final cost depends on the clinical specifics of your case. I will never give you a price that has not been informed by a proper clinical assessment.
Yes. Through Tabeo, all implant treatments at my practices are available on a 12-month interest-free finance plan. The monthly payment is your confirmed treatment cost divided by 12. No interest, no arrangement fee. The total cost of your treatment does not increase because you choose to spread it. For repayment periods beyond 12 months, an APR applies. The exact figure and monthly payment for any extended term are confirmed to you in writing at your consultation before you commit to anything. A single tooth implant starting from £2,550 is available from approximately £213 per month over 12 months at 0%.
I think so, and I am happy to explain why. A dental bridge needs replacing every 10 to 15 years and requires the permanent alteration of two healthy adjacent teeth. Over 30 years that means two to three replacements, plus the long-term clinical cost of the teeth that were ground down to support it. A denture needs replacing every five to eight years and does nothing to prevent the bone from continuing to shrink beneath it. A dental implant, placed correctly and maintained properly, can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacing after 15 to 20 years. But the root component stays. Over 20 or 30 years, the implant is almost always the most cost-effective solution. When you add 0% finance, the monthly cost becomes genuinely comparable.
Because every patient's anatomy is different. The number of implants needed, the condition of the bone, whether bone grafting is required, the complexity of the prosthetic work, and whether sedation is requested all affect the final cost. A price given without a CT scan and a clinical examination is a guess. The precise, written cost for your case is the one I give you after the free assessment. Not before.
A single tooth dental implant in the UK typically costs between roughly £2,000 and £3,000 as a complete treatment, depending on the practice, the clinician's experience, the implant system used, and what is included in the price. At my practices in Northwich and Wilmslow, a complete single tooth implant starts from £2,550, which covers the 3D CT scan, implant placement, abutment, and custom crown. Full arch treatment starts from £11,500 per arch. Be cautious of prices that look unusually low, as they sometimes exclude the scan, the crown, or follow-up care. Your exact written cost is always confirmed at the free 3D Smile Assessment.
Yes. Through Tabeo, all implant treatments at my practice can be spread over 12 months at 0% interest, which means the total cost does not increase because you choose to pay monthly. A single tooth implant starting from £2,550 works out at approximately £213 per month over 12 months. For repayment periods beyond 12 months, an APR applies. The exact monthly figure for your treatment is confirmed in writing at your free assessment before you commit to anything.
Yes. Monthly payment is available on every implant treatment at both practices through Tabeo. The standard option is 12 months at 0% interest, with longer terms available where an APR applies. Whether you are having a single tooth implant, a bridge, an implant-retained denture, or a full arch reconstruction, the cost can be spread monthly. Your personalised monthly payment is calculated from your confirmed treatment cost at the free 3D Smile Assessment.
This is a more common question than people might expect, and there are a few honest answers. First, 0% finance through Tabeo spreads the cost over 12 months with no interest added, which brings monthly payments down to a level many patients find more manageable than the headline figure suggests. Second, treatment can often be staged, starting with the most urgent work and planning the rest over time. Third, the free 3D Smile Assessment costs nothing and gives you a complete written plan and cost breakdown, so you can make a clear decision without any pressure or upfront spend. The best first step is simply to come in and find out what your options actually are.
- Aftercare and long-term care
Looking After Your Implants
Exactly the same way you look after a natural tooth. Brush twice a day. Floss daily. Attend regular check-ups and hygiene appointments. That is it. There is no special cleaning kit, no overnight removal, no adhesive. An implant is designed to be maintained as part of your normal oral hygiene routine. Where multiple implants or a full arch bridge is involved, I provide specific guidance on cleaning technique at the fitting appointment. An interdental brush and water flosser are useful tools for cleaning around implant crowns, and my team will show you the technique that works best for your specific restoration.
Yes, implants can fail, though it is uncommon when treatment is planned and placed correctly. My implant success rate is 99.5% across more than 1,000 cases. The most common causes of implant failure are insufficient osseointegration, infection at the implant site (called peri-implantitis), poor oral hygiene, smoking, and in some cases systemic health factors. The most important things a patient can do to protect the long-term success of their implant are to maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend regular check-up and hygiene appointments, avoid smoking, and contact the practice promptly if anything does not feel right.
Peri-implantitis is an infection around the implant site that causes inflammation of the gum and bone loss if left untreated. It is the implant equivalent of gum disease, and like gum disease, it is preventable with good oral hygiene and professional maintenance. The best prevention is regular professional cleaning appointments, good home oral hygiene, and catching any early signs of inflammation before they develop further. If you notice bleeding around an implant, tenderness, swelling, or any change in how the implant feels, contact us promptly rather than waiting to see if it settles.
No. The titanium used in dental implants is not ferromagnetic, which means it is not affected by the magnetic fields used in MRI scanning. Dental implants do not need to be removed before an MRI and do not interfere with the imaging. If you are ever asked by a medical professional whether you have any metal implants, mention your dental implant, but it is extremely unlikely to cause any issue.
- Complex and advanced cases
Complex Cases and Advanced Treatment
Please do not accept that conclusion without a proper 3D CT scan assessment from a clinician who offers advanced implant techniques. Conventional implant placement does have bone requirements that cannot always be met. But there are techniques that were specifically developed for exactly this situation. Bone grafting can rebuild bone volume at a specific site over a period of several months. Zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone rather than the jaw, bypassing the area of bone loss entirely. Pterygoid and transinus implants use the dense bone at the back and side of the upper jaw. Most patients who arrive at my practice having been told they have no bone for implants leave their assessment with at least one viable treatment option. Come and find out what is actually possible before accepting a conclusion that was reached without a proper scan.
Yes, in most cases. The main factor after a long-standing extraction is how much bone remains at the site. Bone does resorb over time after a tooth is removed, but the extent varies. A 3D CT scan tells me precisely how much bone is there and whether any grafting is needed before an implant can be placed. In some cases where extraction was recent, I recommend placing a bone graft at the extraction site straight away to preserve the volume for a future implant. If your extraction was some time ago and you are considering an implant now, come in for an assessment. The scan will give us the answer.
Yes. This is a case type I treat regularly. Patients who have returned from overseas dental treatment with complications ranging from failed integration to poorly fitting prosthetics to ongoing infection. The fact that the original treatment was placed abroad makes the case more complex, not impossible. I start every corrective case with a thorough 3D CT scan assessment to establish exactly what has happened at the site, what the bone condition is, and what the most appropriate treatment pathway is. In the majority of cases I see, a viable solution exists. Bring whatever records and scans you have from the original treatment, though they are not essential. The CT scan gives me the information I need.
Yes. The Smile-in-a-Day protocol, which is built on the All-on-4 technique, is a clinical procedure in which all remaining teeth in an arch are extracted, implants are placed, and a fixed temporary bridge is fitted in a single appointment. You arrive without a functional smile and leave the same day with one. It is not the right approach for every patient and the suitability has to be assessed from a CT scan. But for patients who do qualify, it is exactly what it sounds like. I have performed this procedure many times at both my Northwich and Wilmslow practices. The question is whether your specific anatomy makes it the right option, and the free assessment answers that.
I will let my patients answer that. Over 320 of them have left a 4.9-star rating on Google across both my Cheshire practices. I hold an MSc in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester, have a 99.5% success rate across more than 1,000 cases, and I teach the same subject at postgraduate level as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow at the University of Manchester. I am also, to my knowledge, one of the very few implant dentists in Cheshire who holds a full MSc in Dental Implantology from a UK university and teaches the same programme. If you want to find out whether I am the right person for your case, the free 3D Smile Assessment is where that conversation starts.
The phrase patients sometimes come across refers to general planning guidance about the spacing around implants, rather than a single fixed rule. As a broad principle, clinicians aim to leave a safe distance between an implant and the adjacent natural teeth and between neighbouring implants, so the bone and gum around each one stays healthy and the final result looks natural. The exact spacing depends entirely on your anatomy, which is why I plan every implant position precisely from your 3D CT scan rather than applying a one-size formula. At your assessment I will explain exactly how your implants will be positioned and why.

About Dr Nikhil and the Practices
I am an implant dentist based in Cheshire with two specialist practices, Brunner Court Dental and Implant Practice in Northwich and Croft Dental and Implant Practice in Wilmslow. I hold a BDS and an MSc in Dental Implantology, both from the University of Manchester. I have been placing implants for over a decade, with a success rate of 99.5% across more than 1,000 cases. I am also an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow at the University of Manchester, a Key Opinion Leader for Osstem UK, an External Examiner for the BAIRD Implant Course, and a Clinical Mentor for Cambridge Dental Academy. I teach the MSc programme I graduated from, which I think says something about the relationship between my clinical practice and my academic work. My GDC registration number is 150126.
I treat patients at two practices in Cheshire. Croft Dental and Implant Practice is at 64 Manchester Road, Wilmslow, SK9 2JY. The phone number is 01625 523 524. Brunner Court Dental and Implant Practice is at 95 Witton Street, Northwich, CW9 5DR. The phone number is 01606 440 394. Both practices offer the full range of implant treatments described across this website. Patients travel to see me from across the North West, the West Midlands, North Wales, and further afield. Wherever you are coming from, we will find the most practical arrangement for you.
The free 3D Smile Assessment is the starting point for every patient journey. It is completely free. It includes a full cone beam CT scan of your jaw, a clinical assessment, and a conversation with me about your situation, your goals, and the options available. You leave with a written, itemised treatment plan showing the recommended treatment, the clinical reasons behind each element, the full timeline, and the complete cost. Finance options are discussed in detail at the same appointment. There is no obligation to proceed. No follow-up pressure. No deadline to respond. You take the plan home and make a decision in your own time.

I will let the evidence speak. Across my two Cheshire practices, Brunner Court in Northwich and Croft Dental in Wilmslow, patients have left a 4.9-star rating from over 320 Google reviews. I hold an MSc in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester, teach the same programme as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow, and have a 99.5% success rate across more than 1,000 cases. I am one of very few implant dentists in Cheshire holding a full MSc in Dental Implantology from a UK university who also teaches it at postgraduate level. The free 3D Smile Assessment is where you can decide whether I am the right person for your case.
Many of my patients travel to my Cheshire practices from the West Midlands and across the wider region for implant treatment, particularly for complex and full arch cases. Distance is rarely the barrier patients expect it to be. I hold an MSc in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester, teach the programme as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow, and have a 99.5% success rate across more than 1,000 cases. If you are in the West Midlands and considering implant treatment, the free 3D Smile Assessment is a straightforward first step, and my team will help you find a practical arrangement for getting to either practice.
I will let my qualifications, my results, and my patients answer that. I hold an MSc in Dental Implantology from the University of Manchester, teach the same programme as an Honorary Clinical Teaching Fellow, serve as an External Examiner for the BAIRD Implant Course, and am a Key Opinion Leader for Osstem UK. My implant success rate is 99.5% across more than 1,000 cases, and patients have left a 4.9-star rating from over 320 Google reviews across my two practices. Dentists from across the UK also attend my mentorship programmes to develop their own implant skills. The best way to judge whether I am the right clinician for you is to come in for a free assessment.
There is no such thing as a question that is too basic or too complicated to ask. Some patients message me before they have even decided whether they want treatment. Others arrive with a very specific clinical question based on extensive research. Both are welcome.
The form below comes directly to my team. We will respond within one working day and if the question warrants it, I will answer it personally.
