Your Treatment
Journey

From initial assessment through to your final zirconia ceramic teeth - a comprehensive, planning-led approach to dental implant treatment.

Treatment Process

Six Phases to Your New Smile

Every case is different, but this outline shows the typical journey for full arch implant treatment.

01

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment:

  • Discussion of your concerns and treatment goals
  • Clinical examination of existing teeth and oral health
  • Review of medical history and medications
  • Preliminary treatment planning discussion
  • Explanation of available options
02

Diagnostic Imaging

Advanced 3D imaging provides detailed anatomical information:

  • CBCT scan captures complete jaw structure
  • Assessment of bone volume and quality
  • Identification of anatomical landmarks
  • Digital treatment planning using specialist software
  • Determination of implant number and positioning
03

Treatment Planning

Detailed planning ensures optimal outcomes:

  • Digital design of implant positions
  • Assessment of bone grafting requirements
  • Timeline development for phased treatment
  • Detailed cost breakdown provided
  • Discussion of material options for final teeth
04

Surgical Phase

Implant placement is performed under local anaesthesia:

  • Extraction of failing teeth if required
  • Bone grafting procedures if indicated
  • Placement of 4-6 titanium implant fixtures per arch
  • Fitting of temporary prosthesis if appropriate
  • Post-operative instructions and medications
05

Healing Period

Time for osseointegration - bone bonding with implants:

  • Typical healing period of 3-6 months
  • Regular review appointments to monitor progress
  • Temporary restoration worn during healing
  • Soft diet recommendations during integration
  • Gradual increase in function as healing progresses
06

Final Restoration

Fabrication and fitting of your permanent zirconia teeth:

  • Digital impressions captured for precision
  • Custom design of zirconia ceramic prosthesis
  • Try-in appointment to verify fit and aesthetics
  • Final fitting and adjustment of permanent teeth
  • Maintenance and care instructions provided

Typical Timeline

Full arch treatment typically takes 6-12 months from initial consultation to final restoration. The exact timeline depends on your individual healing capacity, bone quality, and whether grafting procedures are required.
