4. Please never make the mistake of thinking that
dental implants are as easy as putting a screw
in a wall. The human body is a living thing and
responds to the ‘screw’ in complex ways.
It’s all to do with the bone.
To place a dental implant there needs to be
adequate bone i.e. there’s good quality and
quality of bone in the correct place. Whatever
happens we need that bone when we do an
implant. The implant needs to bone to be
strong and stable.

7. A failed implant is a costly mistake
It will cost money more to fix
It will take more time
It will often cause more pain
It may affect you health.
A cheap implant, or one which is incorrectly placed will destroy the
bone often meaning that the implant fails and the bone is
destroyed. Then the cost, time and complexity for removing the
bad implant, rebuilding the bone and placing a better implant is
many times more than the cost of the implant in the first place.

10. Getting cheap or poorly planned
dental implants wrong
Let me give you some examples of cheap dental implants and mistakes and
compromises.
– Health – If the dentist skips out the medical history assessment, he may miss out
what medication you are on. For example, if you are on blood thinners and there is
too much bleeding during the surgery this could be life threatening. Another
example is uncontrolled diabetes which increases the chances of the implant
failing.
– Social History – If the dentist skips out the social history, he may miss out that
you smoke. Smoking significantly increases the chances of an implant failing. We
ask our patients not to smoke for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the surgery at
the very least to allow the implant to work.
– Not respecting physics – Cantilevers are death to implants. Where the height of
the crown is more and the implant is less (this is often done when there is less
bone height available in the first place), the forces on the implants can be under too
much force, the bone around the implant dissolves away and the implant will
become loose.

13. The cost of dental implants when
you get it right first time.
It may not be the cheapest way at when you look at the headline prices, but we say…. “if you are
going to do something, do it properly”, and we believe that it will save you more in the long term.
We use checklists to make sure that we are not missing anything
We use risk analysis to balance the benefits and risks of different techniques
We do crown down treatment planning which means that implants are properly placed to support
the crown
We have a CT scanner on site so that we can plan for and predict problems even before we start
We have the knowledge and skills to plan the implants on the software
Where required, we use surgical guides that locate the planned locations in the mouth in the
same position as planned on the computer so that we get the implants in the ideal location.
We use the best implant systems (we have a selection that we choose from for each individual
case), with the highest grade of Titanium for better healing and success rate.
This may take more time and money initially, but we think that it’s worth it. Get it right, first time.
