Archway Dental Group
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. It consists of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root to support a crown, bridge, or denture. At Archway Dental Group, we use biocompatible materials and advanced techniques to ensure the implant integrates seamlessly with your natural bone, restoring both function and appearance. Dental implants are a durable and effective option for regaining your confidence and maintaining oral health.
How is a dental implant done?
The dental implant procedure involves several key steps:
- Consultation: A thorough examination and digital imaging to plan the treatment.
- Implant Placement: The titanium post is carefully inserted into the jawbone using minimally invasive techniques.
- Healing Period: The implant integrates with the bone over a few months to create a secure foundation.
- Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant for a natural finish.
At Archway Dental Group, we prioritise precision and comfort, using computer-guided implantology to optimise outcomes.
Types of Dental Implants
At Archway Dental Group, we offer a range of implant solutions to suit various needs:
- Immediate Loading Implants: Teeth restored on the same day as the implant placement.
- Implants on 4 or 6 Implants: Full-arch solutions supported by fewer implants for efficiency and stability.
- Computer-Guided Implantology: Enhanced accuracy through digital planning.
- Juxtaosseous and Zygomatic Implants: Options for patients with limited bone density.
Dental implant costs
The cost of a dental implant depends on factors such as the type of implant, the complexity of the case, and additional procedures like bone grafting. At Archway Dental Group, we provide transparent pricing and tailored treatment plans. Our finance options make it easier to access the care you need, ensuring your investment in a long-lasting smile is manageable.
Dental Implant Pain: Does It Hurt?
Thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthesia, the implant placement procedure is generally painless. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the process. For those with dental anxiety, we offer sedation options to ensure a calm and relaxing experience. At Archway Dental Group, your comfort is our priority throughout every stage of the treatment.
Pain After a Dental Implant
Some mild pain or swelling is normal after the procedure as your body heals. At Archway Dental Group, we provide detailed post-operative instructions and are always available to address concerns. Over-the-counter pain relief is typically sufficient, and symptoms should subside within a few days.
How Long Does Post Dental Implant Pain Last?
Post-implant discomfort usually lasts for a few days to a week. By following the care guidelines provided by our team at Archway Dental Group, you can minimise discomfort and promote faster healing. If pain persists beyond the expected period, we encourage you to contact us for a follow-up evaluation.

Dental Implants Duration: How long does it take to get a dental implant?
The entire dental implant process can take several months, depending on factors like healing time and additional procedures such as bone grafting. At Archway Dental Group, we use techniques like immediate loading implants to accelerate the timeline when possible, allowing you to enjoy your new smile sooner.
Dental Implant Rejection: Risks and Contraindications
While rare, dental implant rejection can occur due to factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, or underlying health conditions. At Archway Dental Group, we carefully assess your suitability for implants and provide guidance to minimise risks. With our thorough planning and use of high-quality materials, complications are kept to a minimum.
Immediate loading implantology
Immediate loading implantology allows patients to receive a functional and aesthetically pleasing restoration on the same day as the implant placement. At Archway Dental Group, this advanced technique combines precision with efficiency, giving you a restored smile without the typical waiting period. It’s an ideal solution for those looking for immediate results without compromising on quality.
Dental implant on 4 implants / Dental implant on 6 implants
For patients needing full-arch restoration, dental implants on 4 or 6 implants provide a stable and effective solution. These procedures use a minimal number of implants to support a full set of teeth, offering durability and natural aesthetics. At Archway Dental Group, we customise each treatment to ensure comfort, functionality, and a seamless fit.
Computer-guided implantology
Computer-guided implantology ensures the highest level of accuracy during dental implant placement. Using advanced digital imaging, we plan and execute the procedure with precision, minimising risks and maximising success. At Archway Dental Group, this technology enhances patient outcomes, ensuring a comfortable and efficient treatment experience.
Dental implants without piercing the bone
For patients with limited bone density, we offer minimally invasive techniques that avoid traditional drilling. This approach reduces discomfort and accelerates healing while ensuring secure and stable implant placement. At Archway Dental Group, our focus is on delivering the best results with the least amount of stress.
Dental bone graft
A dental bone graft is often required to rebuild the jawbone and provide a stable foundation for dental implants. Using the latest techniques, we restore lost bone volume, ensuring long-term success for your implants. At Archway Dental Group, we focus on precise planning and execution to ensure the best outcomes for your treatment.
Maxillary sinus lift
A maxillary sinus lift is a procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw, allowing for secure implant placement in areas with limited bone density. This advanced treatment is performed with precision at Archway Dental Group, ensuring comfort and success for patients needing implants in the upper molar region.
Mobile prosthesis with button attachments
For patients seeking a removable solution, a mobile prosthesis with button attachments offers convenience and stability. These prostheses are securely attached to dental implants, providing a comfortable and functional alternative to traditional dentures. At Archway Dental Group, we ensure every prosthesis is customised for optimal fit and aesthetics.
