During implant surgery, there is very little pain or discomfort.
Pain-free Implants
At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when undergoing dental implant surgery.
We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.
We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort for nervous patients.
“Our practice has over 25 years of experience in preparing and placing implants. We’ll ensure you’re in safe hands. “ Dr Rahul Doshi
After Dental Implant Surgery
It is important to note that you may experience some swelling or discomfort after the treatment.
Implant surgery is an invasive treatment and, like most other surgeries, can take a few days to heal.
We can help you with anti-inflammatory painkillers. Having said this, when we check on our patients the next day, most of our patients are happy and do not suffer from any symptoms.
You will have our contact number if you need to speak to the implant dentist at any time.
We can reassure you that we will take care of you at all times.

Treatment Plan
- 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: An implantologist surgically places your new implant(s) in your mouth.
- Step 3: We will assess your healing on this review appointment and make sure everything is going as planned.
- Step 4: The dentist records and impressions to construct the implant’s top part (post and crown).
- Step 5: The dentist will fit the final part of the implant (post and crown).
- Step 6: Your final appointment allows you to have any further refining cosmetic enhancements or minor adjustments.
Fast Process
- Minimal appointments: Unlike traditional dental implant surgery, you will need fewer appointments
- No lengthy treatment time: The healing time is fast and effective, though individual to each person.
Bone Quality
- When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
- 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 assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

- Is a Dental Implant Treatment Safe? We also use extensive planning systems to ensure the implant treatment is successful.
- Are Dental Implants Worth It? A dental implant offers a wealth of oral health benefits. An implant can improve your smile, realign neighbouring teeth, protect your mouth from gum disease, etc.

Is the Process Painful? You can expect to feel pain with a new implant; however, the discomfort is kept to a minimum with modern anaesthetics. Nevertheless, 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.

Implant Guide
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.
Successful Dental Implants Can Last a Lifetime
Once the implant has fused with your jawbone and tissues, the artificial titanium implant acts as an ordinary root.
When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.
This offers several health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reducing the risk of gum disease. More.
“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty-five years or more.”
Dental implants can help with:
- Teeth lost to trauma, accident or injury
- Missing teeth caused by gum disease or lack of bone
- Replace old, worn or broken dentures
- Implant integrated treatments like Implant-Retained Dentures
- Removable and fixed options
- Replace individual tooth loss or full arches in one sitting
The longevity of your implant depends on how you improve and maintain your oral health. Read more.
