Frequently Asked Questions
What is bone augmentation grafting?
It's a procedure that rebuilds bone in the jaw, often needed before placing an implant when natural bone has shrunk. Dr John regularly performs grafting to make implants possible for more patients.
Will wisdom tooth surgery hurt?
The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Most patients manage post-op discomfort easily with painkillers and rest for a few days.
I'm very nervous — how do you help anxious patients?
Dr John's calm, easy-going manner is one of the most common reasons patients return. He'll explain everything, work at your pace and check in with you throughout the procedure.
How long does an implant procedure take?
Implant placement itself usually takes about an hour per tooth. Full restoration (with the crown) typically spans 3–6 months to allow the implant to integrate with the bone.
