Dental Implant FAQs in Dorchester
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With good oral hygiene and regular maintenance, they can last many years — often decades.
At your consultation, we’ll assess your individual case and explain exactly what you can expect long-term.
Can I have dental implants if I’ve been told I have bone loss?
In many cases, yes. Modern implant techniques and bone grafting mean that even patients who have previously been told they’re “not suitable” can often be treated successfully.
We use 3D scanning to assess this properly — so you’ll get a clear, honest answer at your consultation.
Why are dental implants more expensive than dentures or bridges?
Dental implants involve advanced planning, precision surgery, and high-quality materials designed to last.
While the initial cost is higher, many patients choose implants because they are more stable, more comfortable, and a long-term solution.
We’ll always explain your options clearly so you can make the right decision for you.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Most patients report only mild soreness afterwards — similar to a tooth extraction — which settles quickly.
We’ll guide you through the entire process so you feel confident and well looked after.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on your situation. Some patients can have fixed teeth on the same day, while others may require a healing period before final teeth are fitted.
We’ll give you a clear timeline from the start, so you know exactly what to expect.
What’s the next step if I’m considering dental implants?
The best place to start is with a consultation, where we can assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and explain your options clearly.
There’s no pressure — just honest advice so you can decide what feels right for you.
