Dental Implants in Stafford

Dental implant procedures are usually not painful during the surgery itself, as you’ll be under local anaesthesia. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort for a few days, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen and paracetamol. Most patients report that the procedure is less painful than expected.

The entire dental implant process can take several months:

• Initial implant placement surgery: 1-2 hours.
• Healing and osseointegration: 3-6 months.
• Placement of the final crown: 1-2 appointments.

The total treatment time can range from 3 to 15 months, depending on individual cases and the number of implants needed.

Dental implant costs can vary widely depending on factors such as the number of implants, the need for additional procedures (like bone grafts), and the dentist’s experience. It’s better to contact us for accurate pricing information.
