The most important first step is an implant assessment, where your dentist can check your mouth, gum health, bone support, medical history and treatment goals before advising whether implant treatment may be suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are considering dental implants in Kingston upon Thames, it helps to arrive with the right questions. This guide explains what to ask before you commit, what your dentist may need to check, and how to compare implants with other missing-tooth options such as bridges or dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thames Street Dental supports patients from Kingston, Surbiton, Norbiton, Hampton Wick, Teddington, New Malden, Berrylands and nearby areas who want to explore missing tooth replacement options.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tsd-cta-box\" style=\"background:#eef9f8; border-left:5px solid #008c95; padding:24px; margin:32px 0; border-radius:10px;\">\n  <p style=\"font-size:20px; line-height:1.5; margin:0 0 18px; color:#12343b;\">\n    <strong>Missing one or more teeth?<\/strong><br>\n    Arrange an Implant Assessment with Thames Street Dental to discuss suitable replacement options and find out whether dental implants could be appropriate for you.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#008c95; color:#ffffff; padding:14px 22px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:18px; margin-right:10px;\">\n    Arrange an Implant Assessment\n  <\/a>\n\n  <a href=\"tel:02085466546\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#12343b; color:#ffffff; padding:14px 22px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:18px;\">\n    Call 020 8546 6546\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-a-dental-implant\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a dental implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dental implant is a fixed tooth replacement option. The NHS describes implants as a fixed alternative to removable dentures, using titanium screws placed into the jaw bone to support a <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/dental-crowns-kingston\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"1064\">crown<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/dental-bridges-kingston\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"1067\">bridge<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/dentures-kingston\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"838\">denture<\/a>. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth or several teeth, depending on the patient\u2019s needs and suitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In simple terms, an implant acts like an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has been placed and restored, it can support a replacement tooth or teeth. However, not everyone is automatically suitable, which is why an assessment is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tsd-info-box\" style=\"background:#f7fbfb; border:1px solid #d8eeee; border-left:5px solid #008c95; padding:22px 24px; margin:32px 0; border-radius:10px;\">\n  <p style=\"font-size:18px; line-height:1.55; margin:0 0 14px; color:#12343b;\">\n    <strong>Want more information on dental implants?<\/strong><br>\n    If you are still researching how implants work, what they are made from and when they may be used, read our beginner-friendly guide first.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/what-are-dental-implants-beginners-guide\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#008c95; color:#ffffff; padding:13px 20px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:17px;\">\n    Read: What Are Dental Implants? A Beginner\u2019s Guide\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-ask-questions-before-a-dental-implant-assessment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why ask questions before a dental implant assessment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants involve planning, clinical assessment and a personalised treatment recommendation. Asking questions helps you understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether implants are suitable for your mouth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether your gums and bone are healthy enough<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What alternatives may be available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long treatment may take<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What the costs may include<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What risks and aftercare you need to understand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you feel comfortable with the proposed plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The General Dental Council says dental professionals must obtain valid consent before treatment, including explaining relevant options and possible costs. That means an implant consultation should be a conversation, not a rushed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-1-am-i-suitable-for-dental-implants\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Am I suitable for dental implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most important question to ask first. Dental implants may be suitable for some patients with missing teeth, but suitability depends on your oral health, gum condition, bone levels, bite, general health and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your dentist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is an implant suitable for my missing tooth or teeth?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are my gums healthy enough for implant treatment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I have enough bone to support an implant?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there any medical conditions or medications that could affect healing?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Would I need treatment before implant placement?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there reasons why an implant may not be the best option for me?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Oral Health Foundation explains that implants can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or support a full set of teeth, but your dentist or implant specialist needs to assess what is suitable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-2-what-missing-tooth-options-should-i-compare\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What missing-tooth options should I compare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are not the only way to replace missing teeth. Depending on your mouth, your dentist may also discuss a dental bridge, denture, implant-supported denture, or sometimes no immediate replacement if that is clinically reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are all my options?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does an implant compare with a bridge?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does an implant compare with a denture?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the benefits and limitations of each option?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What happens if I delay treatment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which option best protects my long-term oral health?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS describes bridges and dentures as other options for replacing missing teeth, while implants are a fixed alternative to removable dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-quick-comparison-implants-bridges-and-dentures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick comparison: implants, bridges and dentures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Option<\/th><th>What it may help with<\/th><th>Points to ask about<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dental implant<\/strong><\/td><td>Fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth<\/td><td>Suitability, bone support, surgery, healing time, cost and maintenance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dental bridge<\/strong><\/td><td>Fixed replacement supported by neighbouring teeth or implants<\/td><td>Whether adjacent teeth need preparation, lifespan, hygiene and replacement needs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Denture<\/strong><\/td><td>Removable replacement for several or all missing teeth<\/td><td>Comfort, stability, cleaning, adjustment appointments and future maintenance<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right choice depends on your mouth, your health, your budget and your priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tsd-info-box\" style=\"background:#f7fbfb; border:1px solid #d8eeee; border-left:5px solid #008c95; padding:22px 24px; margin:32px 0; border-radius:10px;\">\n  <p style=\"font-size:18px; line-height:1.55; margin:0 0 14px; color:#12343b;\">\n    <strong>Comparing implants with dentures?<\/strong><br>\n    If you are weighing up fixed and removable options for missing teeth, our comparison guide explains the key differences between dentures and dental implants.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/dentures-vs-dental-implants-what-is-right-for-you\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#008c95; color:#ffffff; padding:13px 20px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:17px;\">\n    Read: Dentures vs Dental Implants\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-3-do-i-have-enough-bone-for-an-implant\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Do I have enough bone for an implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants need enough healthy bone for support. If a tooth has been missing for some time, or if there has been gum disease, infection or trauma, the bone in that area may have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your dentist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do I have enough bone for an implant?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will I need X-rays or a 3D scan?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is bone grafting likely to be needed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the position of the missing tooth make treatment more complex?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How will you plan the implant position?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every patient needs additional bone treatment, but it is important to know early because it can affect suitability, cost, treatment time and the final plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-4-are-my-gums-healthy-enough\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Are my gums healthy enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Healthy gums are important before, during and after implant treatment. If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/bleeding-gums-brushing-teeth\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"5291\">bleeding gums<\/a>, gum disease, plaque build-up or unstable oral health, your dentist may recommend hygiene or periodontal care before planning implant placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are my gums healthy enough for implant treatment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I need a hygienist appointment first?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I have signs of gum disease?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How will gum health affect the implant outcome?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What will I need to do at home before treatment starts?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also a good time to discuss brushing, interdental cleaning and any habits that may increase your risk of future problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-5-what-will-happen-during-the-implant-assessment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

The exact appointment can vary, but it may include a discussion of your dental concerns, an examination, gum assessment, bite assessment, X-rays or scans where appropriate, and a conversation about options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What will you check during the assessment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will I need X-rays or scans?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will you assess my bite and gum health?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will you explain alternatives as well as implants?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will I receive a written treatment plan?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will the plan include fees, stages and timings?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-6-how-long-could-dental-implant-treatment-take\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. How long could dental implant treatment take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implant treatment is usually planned in stages, and it may take longer than some other missing-tooth options. Time may be needed for assessment, planning, implant placement, healing, and fitting the final crown, bridge or denture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How many appointments might I need?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long is the healing stage likely to be?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will I have a temporary tooth during treatment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When would the final crown, bridge or denture be fitted?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What could delay treatment?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS notes that replacement parts for implants take time to prepare because they need to fit your mouth and other teeth properly, so they may not be available at the first visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-7-what-will-the-dental-implant-cost-include\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. What will the dental implant cost include?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implant costs can vary because treatment depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of your mouth, whether scans or grafting are required, the type of restoration, and the complexity of the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is included in the quoted fee?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the fee include the implant, abutment and crown?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are X-rays, scans or review appointments included?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Could additional treatment be needed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there finance or staged payment options?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What happens if the plan changes?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid comparing implant prices without checking what is included. A lower headline price may not include every stage, while a full treatment plan should make the likely costs clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tsd-cta-box\" style=\"background:#eef9f8; border-left:5px solid #008c95; padding:24px; margin:32px 0; border-radius:10px;\">\n  <p style=\"font-size:20px; line-height:1.5; margin:0 0 18px; color:#12343b;\">\n    <strong>Missing one or more teeth?<\/strong><br>\n    Arrange an Implant Assessment with Thames Street Dental to discuss suitable replacement options and find out whether dental implants could be appropriate for you.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#008c95; color:#ffffff; padding:14px 22px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:18px; margin-right:10px;\">\n    Arrange an Implant Assessment\n  <\/a>\n\n  <a href=\"tel:02085466546\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#12343b; color:#ffffff; padding:14px 22px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:18px;\">\n    Call 020 8546 6546\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-8-what-are-the-risks-and-limitations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. What are the risks and limitations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants can be an effective missing-tooth option, but all dental treatment has risks and limitations. Your dentist should explain what could go wrong, what signs to look for, and how risks are reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the main risks in my case?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What could affect healing?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What happens if the implant does not integrate properly?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Could smoking, gum disease or grinding affect the result?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How will complications be managed?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are the alternatives if implants are not suitable?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GDC says dental professionals should explain treatment options, risks, benefits and likely outcomes so patients can make informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-9-who-will-carry-out-my-treatment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Who will carry out my treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is reasonable to ask who will assess, plan and provide your implant care. You should feel comfortable asking about experience, training, the treatment pathway and who to contact if you have concerns during or after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who will carry out my implant assessment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who will place the implant?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who will restore the implant with the crown, bridge or denture?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What experience does the team have with cases like mine?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who do I contact if I have a problem after treatment?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not about challenging your dentist. It is about understanding your care journey and feeling confident before treatment starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tsd-info-box\" style=\"background:#f7fbfb; border:1px solid #d8eeee; border-left:5px solid #008c95; padding:22px 24px; margin:32px 0; border-radius:10px;\">\n  <p style=\"font-size:18px; line-height:1.55; margin:0 0 14px; color:#12343b;\">\n    <strong>Heard conflicting things about dental implants?<\/strong><br>\n    If you are unsure what is fact and what is myth, our implant myths guide explains common concerns about pain, suitability, age, cost and long-term care.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/dental-implant-myths-busted-by-thames-street-dental\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; background:#008c95; color:#ffffff; padding:13px 20px; border-radius:6px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:700; font-size:17px;\">\n    Read: Dental Implant Myths Busted\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-10-how-do-i-look-after-dental-implants\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. How do I look after dental implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implants still need daily care and regular professional maintenance. They are not a \u201cfit and forget\u201d treatment. Good cleaning, healthy gums and routine dental reviews remain important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How should I clean around the implant?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will I need special brushes or interdental cleaning aids?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How often should I see the dentist or hygienist?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What signs should I watch for after treatment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can gum problems affect implants?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long can implants last with good care?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHS recommends brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth to help maintain oral health. Your dentist or hygienist can show you how to clean around your implant restoration once it is fitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-11-what-should-i-ask-if-i-am-nervous\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. What should I ask if I am nervous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeling nervous about implant treatment is common, especially if you are worried about surgery, costs, discomfort or the unknown. A good assessment should give you time to ask questions and understand the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What will I feel during the procedure?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What anaesthetic or comfort options are available?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can treatment be paused if I need a break?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much discomfort is normal afterwards?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What aftercare instructions will I receive?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can I speak to the team before deciding?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are anxious, tell the team at the start.
