Dental implant smile journey

Serving patients throughout Basingstoke, Chineham and Oakley

The key to successful dental implant treatment is in the planning stages. At your initial consultation our implant dentist, Vish Anand, 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 Envisage Dental Basingstoke:

  1. Consultation – Vish will start by listening to your requirements and address your questions as well as recommending which options will best suit you. During this appointment Vish 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.
  2. Pre-treatment – Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation Vish 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.

    Vish 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.
  3. 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. Vish 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 Vish 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.
  6. 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.

As always, great care. Amanda (my hygienist) is fantastic - she has played a massive role in helping my teeth to experience a lot fewer problems than they might have done.

I was put at ease by having everything explained to me before the procedure. Tooth extraction went seemlessly. I would highly recommend Helen and her assistant Georgia, and of course the friendly receptionists.

The team there are great and Helen is a fantastic dentist. However your new 3rd party agency hounded me repeatedly via phone, text and email and it made me reconsider my dentist despite how very very good the team their are..please replace your CRM agency

I completed a tooth whitening treatment with Helen and had a great experience from start to finish. Helen was very friendly and took the time to answer all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. The treatment was easy to follow, with only minor sensitivity, I was just more aware of my teeth at times. Over the course of the treatment my teeth went from shade A3 to B1 (3 shades whiter). I'm really happy with the results and would recommend Helen for anyone considering professional tooth whitening.

7th August 2025

The staff are friendly and professional, the premises and equipment are clean and I always receive clear feedback from the dentist and hygienist.

I have been attending this surgery since 1978 and although I live an hour away, I am so satisfied with the surgery that I would not change to another surgery although I have one only a mile away
