FAQs

Are the teeth fitted that day my final teeth?

The fixed teeth fitted on the day are temporary. The final teeth are made and fitted after healing and review.

What if fixed teeth can’t be fitted on the day?

The team will discuss another plan with you. It may involve waiting for the implants to heal before fitting fixed teeth.

How do I find out if I’m suitable?

Start with an implant consultation. Same-day fitting depends on assessment and how stable the implants are when placed.

What’s planned before surgery

At an assessment, the team checks your mouth, health and the bone that would support the implants. Ask how they decide whether a temporary fixed bridge can be fitted on the day and what the alternative would be if it can’t.

What you receive on the day

When the implants can support it, the team may fit a temporary fixed bridge. They’ll explain how to care for it and what to eat while the implants and surrounding tissues heal.

When the final teeth are fitted

The team reviews healing before making and fitting the final bridge. Ask what follow-up is included and what to do if your temporary teeth feel loose or uncomfortable.

Discuss your options at an implant consultation. The team can explain who would provide each stage of care.
