What is Involved in the Dental Implants Procedure?
Dental implants look and feel like real teeth, and they’re precision-engineered structures that serve as a permanent alternative to dentures.
While the preparation work takes a while and is invasive, the results can be life-changing. If you’re prepared to undergo weeks of treatment, you could end up with a completely natural-looking smile that doesn’t rely on the constant application of denture adhesive.
While the dental implant procedure can differ between different dentists and surgeries, there are usually four key steps involved.
Implant Fixture
The dental implant consists of a titanium post, which is surgically fitted into the jawbone. This post acts as an artificial tooth root.
Osseointegration
Over several months, the jawbone naturally fuses with the titanium implant through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong bond between the implant and the bone, ensuring stability and durability.
Abutment
Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant fixture. The abutment is a support structure for the artificial tooth.
Dental Restoration
Depending on the patient's needs, a custom-made dental crown, bridge or denture is then affixed to the abutment. The result is a natural smile and artificial teeth that look real.
What Should I Expect During Dental Implant Treatment?
When you choose us for dental implants in Manchester, you’re in safe hands. We’ll guide you through the process and prepare you for what comes next.
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an initial consultation. During this one-on-one assessment with Re-Ignite Dental’s Dr. Imran, your dental history will be reviewed and X-rays or 3D scans may be taken.
Treatment Planning
Based on the assessment, the dentist will create a personalised treatment plan. This outlines the number of implants needed and the preferred dental implant types (crowns, bridges, or dentures).
Surgery
On the day of the implant surgery, you'll receive anaesthesia to ensure you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The dentist will then surgically place the titanium implant fixtures into your jawbone.
Healing Period
After surgery, a healing period is essential. This allows time for osseointegration, where the jawbone fuses with the implant. This typically takes several months, during which you may be given temporary restorations.
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is successful, an abutment is attached to the implant. This is the foundation for your final restoration.
Final Restoration
A custom-made dental crown, bridge or denture will be securely attached to the abutment — completing your new, permanent smile.
Post-Treatment
You’ll be asked to attend a series of follow-up appointments to check on the health of your dental implants. You’ll also be given guidance on how to clean and care for your dental implants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is the closest replacement to a natural tooth that you can eat with like a normal tooth and it can complete your full smile.
Why choose a dental implant?
The other options for replacing a tooth are dentures which you can take in and out or a bridge which is attached to your tooth next to the gap. Dentures can be uncomfortable for some people and bridges do connect to another tooth which can put more pressure on them.
Will my natural teeth be affected?
It is vitally important that your teeth either side of your implant are healthy and no damage is done to them as the dental implant is not connected to your natural teeth.
Is it painful?
The procedure is completed with local anaesthetic so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Dr. Imran will also explain all the aftercare instructions to make sure you heal well without any problems.
What is the cost of a dental implant?
We assess your suitability for a dental implant and assess whether it is a straightforward case or it requires some extra bone or gum to give you the ideal implant. Generally speaking it will be approximately £2500 per implant with adds on if necessary. This is split up into smaller payments for each individual stage as explained and other payment plans are available.
