Dental implants are precision-made titanium posts that act like new roots for missing teeth. Once placed, they naturally integrate with your bone, creating a secure foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or full smile restoration.

For most people, implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with lasting confidence.

Considering a full smile makeover? Discover how Invisalign® in Cheltenham can align your teeth before implant treatment for optimal results.

We use iTero intraoral scanning, CBCT 3D imaging, AI diagnostics, and in-house 3D printing to plan your care.

This digital approach allows your clinician to visualise bone quality, nerve pathways, and ideal implant positioning before treatment. It ensures accuracy, safety, and beautiful results.

For you, this means clarity, comfort, and confidence at every stage.

Step 1: Lounge And Concierge Welcome

Your visit begins in our Cheltenham clinic’s calm lounge environment. Our concierge team greets you, supports seamless iPad check-in, and offers refreshments from our coffee bar.

We listen to your goals and what a confident smile means to you. You set the pace, and we guide you with care.

Step 2: Photography And Digital Scans

We capture detailed photographs and 3D digital scans to build a full picture of your oral health.

• iTero scanning replaces impressions for a quick, comfortable 3D model of your teeth.

• CBCT imaging maps bone density, sinus position, and nerve pathways.

• AI-assisted analysis enhances precision and treatment insight.

These visuals help you see how your future smile could look. Your clinician explains what’s achievable for your individual case, ensuring your plan feels informed and reassuring.

Why this matters: digital planning supports comfort, reduces chair time, and helps you understand your treatment before it begins.

Step 3: Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment And Bespoke Plan

Your dentist reviews your scans, photographs, and full dental history. We assess gum health, bone quality, and bite alignment, recommending supportive care like gum therapy or bone grafting if helpful.

Your bespoke plan outlines:

• Number and type of implants recommended

• Restoration options (single crown, bridge, or implant-retained denture)

• Expected timeline from placement to completion

• Preparatory care for long-term success

We guide you through each stage clearly, so every decision feels confident and calm.

Step 4: Transparent Finance And Options

We explain your options clearly and calmly, including costs, timelines, and flexible finance. You can also compare alternatives such as bridges or dentures.

Together, we create a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle. Evening and weekend appointments are available for your convenience.

Step 5: Precise Dental Implant Treatment Begins

Your implant appointment is digitally planned in advance using your 3D scans. When suitable, we use guided placement systems for optimal accuracy.

• Local anaesthetic ensures complete comfort

• Guided positioning supports precision and bone protection

• Every step is carried out with gentle, meticulous care

You may receive a temporary tooth while your implant naturally integrates with your bone. We’ll provide clear aftercare and direct contact with our team for full reassurance.

Why this matters: digital precision enhances comfort, supports smooth healing, and helps your new tooth feel beautifully natural.

Step 6: Ongoing Care For Long-Term Success

Most implants need a short integration phase before the final restoration. During this period, we review healing and prepare your custom-made crown or bridge.

Your ongoing care includes:

• Professional hygiene support

• Digital monitoring for stability

• Bite checks for long-term comfort

We’ll show you simple home habits that protect your implant and keep your smile healthy for years.

Step 7: Optional Enhancements To Complement Your Smile

Once your implant is complete, you can refine your smile with:

• Bespoke teeth whitening to lift the shade for a brighter smile

• Facial aesthetics with a light-touch approach for refreshed confidence

• NUYU Gym for patients who value whole-person wellbeing alongside their dental care

Each treatment follows NUYU’s principles of precision, safety, and natural results.

For gentle rejuvenation, explore our Facial Aesthetics Cheltenham page to see how we achieve refreshed, balanced confidence.

A straightforward single implant usually takes a few months from placement to your final crown. More advanced cases may take longer. Your plan sets clear expectations from the start so you always know what’s next.

Most patients describe implant placement as more comfortable than expected with local anaesthetic. Some tenderness may follow and usually eases within a few days.

We’ll guide you with soft-food ideas, gentle cleaning techniques, and personalised aftercare so you can heal with confidence.

Contact us to learn more about the NUYU Aftercare Programme, created to support your comfort and recovery every step of the way.

Many adults with missing teeth or unstable dentures are suitable for implants. Healthy gums and sufficient bone are important, but even if extra support is needed, we’ll explain your options clearly.

Digital scans make it easy to visualise what’s possible and ensure your plan feels reassuring from the start.

With good home care and professional maintenance, implants can last many years. Regular brushing, interdental cleaning, and hygiene visits help protect your supporting tissues.

We agree a review schedule tailored to you. It is designed for comfort, confidence, and longevity.

The cost of your treatment depends on the number of implants, type of restoration, and any preparatory care.

At NUYU, everything is set out in a clear, transparent proposal, with flexible finance options to help you plan comfortably.

For a general overview, visit our Dental Implant Cost Guide for example pricing and finance options available at our Cheltenham clinic.

Your safety and trust are central to everything we do. NUYU follows rigorous clinical standards, uses premium implant systems, and continuously invests in digital innovation and training.

Every step of your care is traceable, transparent, and digitally planned for complete peace of mind.
