Question 1

Is implant surgery painful?

Accepted Answer

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic — most patients report no pain during placement, with mild soreness for 2–3 days afterwards.

Question 2

How long does the full treatment take?

Accepted Answer

From placement to final crown is typically 3 months for the lower jaw and 4 months for the upper, allowing the bone to fully integrate.

Question 3

How long do implants last?

Accepted Answer

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, modern implants have a 95%+ success rate at 10 years and frequently last a lifetime.

Question 4

Am I a candidate if I've lost teeth long ago?

Accepted Answer

Often yes. If bone has receded we can restore volume with grafting before placement — your CBCT will tell us exactly what's needed.

Question 5

What is the recovery like?

Accepted Answer

Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Mild swelling and tenderness for 2–3 days, fully resolved in a week. We provide pain medication and clear aftercare.

Question 6

What does an implant cost?

Accepted Answer

Single implants start at €1,200 including the abutment and crown. Full-arch (All-on-4) cases start at €8,500. Each plan is custom — we quote in writing at consultation.

Question 7

Are there age limits?

Accepted Answer

Lower limit is 18 (jaw must be fully formed). No upper limit — we successfully place implants in patients in their 80s. Health, not age, is what matters.
