Does it hurt?
Last Updated on
Placing implants can be a pain-free procedure as we ensure that the entire area is strongly anaesthetised prior to the treatment. We test that you are totally comfortable prior to start the treatment.
There are techniques to make the treatment extremely comfortable and is thus suitable for nervous patients.
THIS INCLUDES:
- Oral Sedation – where we provide you with medication to relax you prior to the appointment
- Intra -Venous Sedation – where we reach a level of relaxation and sedation with the use of intravenous drugs
- NuCalm – a holistic drug-free treatment to relax patients
- Painless injections – we ensure that you do not feel the numbing in any way as we provide you with a topical that makes the injection process pain free
- Spa-like environment – to relax you make you feel comfortable.
Simple Dental Finance Plans
- We can help establish monthly payment plans.
- We provide 0% finance for up to 24 month term plans. Many patients find our payment plan option very useful.
- Terms over 24 months will be low-interest bearing.
- If you would like to consider this option we will need to carry out a few credit checks.
- We can discuss payment plans at both the Hertfordshire & the London clinic
At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.
We would like to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful at all due to proper use of local anesthetics to deeply numb the bone and gum.
We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.
Single Dental Implant Timeline
- Step 1: We will start the process with a highly detailed and thorough comprehensive examination and assessment. We will then construct a customised treatment plan and design your implant treatment.
- Step 2: Your new implant(s) will be surgically placed in your mouth.
- Step 3: On this review appointment we will assess your healing and make sure everything is going as planned.
- Step 4: Records and impression will be taken to construct the top part (post and crown) of the implant.
- Step 5: The final part of the implant (post and crown) will be fitted.
- Step 6: This appointment gives you the opportunity to have any further refining cosmetic enhancements or minor adjustments.
Insufficient Bone
- When a tooth is removed from the mouth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height and width and volume. This may have an effect on the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth as well.
- The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We asses the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.
Competitive Costs

Our inclusive single dental implant treatment costs £2995 and includes the abutment and crown. More.

Oral health benefits
When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.
This offers a number of health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reduces the risk of gum disease. More.

“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty five years or more.”

Minimal pain
Is the process painful? You can expect to feel some pain when having a new implant, however with modern anesthetics the discomfort is kept to a minimum. Post process there can be some swelling and aching for 5 -10 days.
Many patients have multiple implants in a single day without undue pain or distress. More.
Natural-looking
Will my implants match the colour of my existing teeth? Implants are colour matched and then shaped to blend in with your existing teeth. To the naked eye an implant is very hard to spot.
