Modern implant surgery is precise, planned and minimally invasive. A CBCT scan and surgical guide mean the implant is placed exactly where planned, with minimal tissue disturbance.

Under profound local anaesthesia, the procedure itself is not painful — most patients describe only mild pressure.

Post-operative recovery is typically milder than a wisdom tooth extraction. Most patients stop painkillers within 24 hours and return to work the next day.
