Your Path to a Restored Smile

At The Dental Institute, our dental implant process is built around you—from start to finish.

1

Implant Consultation & Digital Scan

We begin with a detailed exam and 3D digital CBCT scan to assess bone health, and suitability. You’ll receive clear recommendations and time to ask questions.

2

Placement & Healing

Your implant is surgically placed by our in-house specialist using guided planning for precision. Healing typically takes a few months as the bone fuses with the implant.

3

Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, we place a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture—restoring both function and aesthetics for the long term.

Dental Implants FAQs

We answer common questions from patients across Hastings and Hawke’s Bay considering implant treatment.

  • If you’re in good general health and have enough jawbone, you’re likely a candidate. We’ll assess this with a CBCT scan during your consultation.

  • With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer, based on world-wide research. Regular hygiene visits and good home care are key.

  • The procedure is done under local anaesthetic (or IV sedation, if needed), and most patients report minimal discomfort post-surgery.

  • We offer bone grafting procedures in-house to rebuild jawbone and make implant placement possible.

  • An implant replaces a missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth, and is fixed directly into the bone—offering greater longevity and stability.
