Q: I get headaches and wake up with a stiff neck can this be down to my teeth?

Q: Do implants hurt?
A: Implants are placed under local anaesthetic and so the placement is painless. We provide analgesia for the recovery period - usually about five days..

Q: How long do implants last?
A:Implants are a new treatment. At the moment the implants are lasting for over twenty years. We expect most implants to last the life of the patient as long as the patient cleans around the implant properly.

Q: How do I care for the implant teeth?
