Dental Implant Surgery is recommended for patients with specific symptoms, abnormal test results, or as part of a planned treatment pathway. Your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery specialist will evaluate your suitability.

Dental Implant Surgery is typically performed with Local anesthesia with optional IV sedation. The anaesthesia team will review your health history and allergies before the procedure.
