Question 1

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants in Ealing?

Accepted Answer

You may be a suitable candidate for dental implants in Ealing if you're missing one or more teeth, you're in good general and oral health, and you don't have any uncontrolled chronic medical conditions. Systemic illness, certain bone conditions and serious heart, kidney or liver issues can affect suitability. Book a free consultation and our implant team will assess your mouth and confirm the best plan for you.

Question 2

How long does the whole implant procedure take?

Accepted Answer

A dental implant is not a one-step process. Between healing of the jawbone, scheduling visits and crafting your custom crown, the full process typically takes 3–6 months from start to finish — longer if bone grafting is needed.

Question 3

Do dental implants hurt?

Accepted Answer

Dental implants are one of the biggest advances in modern dentistry and have an overall success rate of around 97%. Most patients report minimal or no pain during the procedure — it's carried out under local anaesthetic, with sedation available if you'd prefer.

Question 4

How much do dental implants in Ealing cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost varies depending on how many implants you need, the type of prosthetic tooth and whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting) are required. At Stunning Smile Clinic implants start from £1,950 including the final crown, with 0% finance available. Your initial consultation is free.

Question 5

How long do dental implants last?

Accepted Answer

With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants in Ealing can last a lifetime. The longevity of an implant depends mainly on you — the better your oral hygiene, the longer your implants will last.

Question 6

How do I look after my dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Treat your implants like your natural teeth — brush twice a day, floss daily and visit us regularly for hygiene appointments. The gums around the implant need extra attention, as gum infection (peri-implantitis) is one of the main causes of implant failure.

Question 7

Will I be without teeth during the implant process?

Accepted Answer

No — we always make sure you have working teeth. After implant surgery the gum needs time to heal before the final crown is fitted; in the meantime you can wear a denture or, in many cases, a fixed temporary tooth. Denture wearers are usually asked to wear them part-time for the first 3–14 days.

Question 8

Will I have enough bone for an implant?

Accepted Answer

At your free consultation in Ealing our implant dentist will use an X-ray or CBCT 3D scan to assess your bone. Most patients have enough bone to support implants. If you've been missing teeth for a long time, some bone loss may have occurred — in which case a bone graft can be carried out before the implant is placed.

Question 9

Does gum disease affect my ability to get implants?

Accepted Answer

Yes — gum disease can affect implant success, since it can lead to infection and implant failure. Wherever possible we treat the gum disease and establish a strong hygiene routine before placing implants. Many patients successfully go on to have implants once their gum health is stable.

Question 10

Are dental implants painful afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Most patients are surprised at how comfortable getting a dental implant in Ealing actually is. Any mild soreness afterwards is easily managed with simple pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen.

Question 11

Can I have implants if I've worn dentures for years?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most denture wearers are still suitable for implants. We'll assess your bone with a 3D CBCT scan and, if needed, recommend a bone graft before placing the implant.
