Dental Implant (Nobel Biocare)

A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root with a titanium post placed into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for a crown. WellDent uses the Nobel Biocare implant system and carries out placement under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure. The published fee covers surgical placement of the implant; the healing screw and the final crown are priced separately. Treatment begins with an implantology consultation to plan the case and is backed by a long clinic guarantee on the completed work.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth's root. Once the surrounding bone has integrated with the implant, an abutment and a crown are attached on top to restore a single tooth, so the result looks and functions much like a natural tooth without involving the neighbouring teeth. At WellDent the implants used are from the Nobel Biocare system, a manufacturer with a long clinical track record. The process is usually staged. After an implantology consultation and the necessary diagnostics, the implant is placed under local anaesthetic during a short outpatient appointment that typically takes around twenty to thirty minutes for a single tooth. A healing screw is fitted while the site heals over the following weeks, after which the final crown is made and attached. The clinic publishes the surgical placement fee separately from the healing screw and the crown, so the total for a finished single-tooth implant is the sum of those stages plus the initial consultation. WellDent states that implant treatment is supported by a lengthy guarantee on the work carried out. Implant treatment is generally suited to adults with a missing tooth or teeth and adequate bone; suitability, the condition of the bone and any factors that may affect healing are assessed at the consultation, and the dentist will explain the plan, the stages involved and the full cost before treatment begins.
