Dental implant smile journey
Serving patients throughout Sturminster Newton
The key to successful dental implant treatment is in the planning stages. At your initial consultation our implant dentist, our dentist, will assess your oral health, discuss your case and consider all of the implant treatment options available to you before issuing a treatment plan.
Dental implant treatment will typically take between 3 to 6 months to complete and include the following steps at Sturminster Dental Care:
- Consultation – our dentist will start by listening to your requirements and address your questions as well as recommending which options will best suit you. During this appointment our dentist will also conduct an assessment of your mouth, gums and bone structure using x-rays and scans. This will assess the bone support for a dental implant as sometimes it is necessary to carry out a bone graft or sinus lift to ensure we have the appropriate foundation into which we can securely place the implants.
- Pre-treatment – Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation our dentist will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.
Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin.
our dentist will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts. You may have to wait several months for this to heal prior to starting your dental implant journey. - Implant placement – Once you are dentally fit and have healthy bone structure, you are ready for your implant placement. The process and length of appointment will vary depending on your individual requirements and complexity. our dentist will advise in advance what to expect throughout this appointment. You will be given a local anaesthetic to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process.
With All on 4 treatments (known as ‘same day smile’), the final replacement teeth are fitted the same day without the need to wait for healing and integration. - Healing and integration - The titanium post (dental implant) needs to be left for a short time for the bone and gum to heal around it before it can be used to support a new tooth. Once that happens, the titanium becomes one with the bone around it… a key stage is known as biological integration.
This stage can take between 3 and 6 months. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, it provides a strong and stable platform for the new crown, bridge or denture. - Restoring - Once your implant integrates with the bone, we are then able to restore the implant with replacement teeth. This stage is carried out over 2 appointments. At the first appointment we will take scans/impressions of the position of the implants in relation to your other teeth and structures, so that the crown/bridge/denture can be carefully crafted to best blend with your natural smile.
At the second appointment our dentist will then securely fix your crown, bridge or denture to the dental implant. Most teeth attached to implants are fixed permanently and can only be removed by your dentist. However, if you have removable dentures attached to the implants, then you’ll be able to take them out for cleaning. In all cases, your dentist will ensure that your replacement teeth fit properly, match your other teeth and feel comfortable. Once in place, they will look, feel and function as a natural tooth. - Aftercare - Implants are an excellent option and investment in your health. With the right aftercare, they can last for a lifetime.
For such a long-term success, taking care of your implant is important. As with natural teeth, implants require the same regular check-ups and conscientious oral hygiene. Once you follow these guidelines, your implants can be maintained for decades.

I am an extremely nervous patient, this was recognised and everyone was so understanding, patient and put me at ease. I didn’t feel I was being rushed. The procedure was explained and I was talked to throughout. I felt very safe and left feeling happy and brave enough to make a check up appt for 6 months time on my way out.

It is a practice that one knows one can trust absolutely. Compassion, efficiency, professionalism are evident in all aspects of treatment. I know that I will receive the best advice, the swiftest possible attention, A1 treatment, and, on occasions when I have needed it, attentive after care.

The staff at the Sturminster Dental Care are always friendly right from the Housekeeper to the clinicians. I have always found my clinician to be very patient and kind. They will always fully explain the treatments. Recently I had veneers fitted on my 2 front teeth, it has had made so much difference. I am able to smile with confidence now. The surgery is always very clean and especially during the covid pandemic it gave me confidence in going there.

Helena and Kate are just amazing!
19th May 2022
I was expecting and had requested an extraction. My dentist listened to my reasons and sympathised with my position. When she had ascertained that I was not in any serious pain , she outlined an alternative treatment plan that could rid me of my discomfort but also save my tooth. She felt strongly that this line of treatment was in my best interest as I could quite soon find myself with a two tooth, visable gap.She treated me with respect and kindness throughout the consultation and I was able to accept her advice.
19th May 2022
Kate is a wonderful dentist, very considerate in all aspects of the appointment. Listening to any issues I might raise. Always puts you at raise, very professional.
19th May 2022

Visited my dentist Olga today for 3 fillings. This was the first time having fillings with Olga and I’m incredibly impressed with her work along with dental nurse Brittany who was also great. I felt very calm immediately and felt ZERO pain or discomfort through the whole process. It was smooth and quick but didn’t feel rushed. I look forward to coming in again. Thank you Olga&Brittany. highly recommend this practice.

Dave Stringer
Absolutely first class dental care from an extremely courteous and professional team. A trip to the dentist isn’t exactly everyone’s ideal place to visit, but all the staff here will make you feel totally at ease, and for me, have completely taken the fear factor away from the occasion. I’ve visited a few dental surgeries over the years, and this is the best by quite some distance. Top class service from a top class team. Thank you!
Tim
I have not relaxed in a dental chair for years . I was always apprehensive and anxious. Brian has a great bed side manner and for the first time in years I relaxed . It was almost pleasant ! Thank you for ‘putting me back together again’ Tim
