Dental implants replace missing teeth with artificial roots that support a crown, bridge or denture. A dental implant consultation at Royal Aesthetics Dental Clinic in Ota is the first step, where the dentist examines your mouth and explains whether implants suit you.
Patients from Ota, Sango Ota, Agbara and Abeokuta come to understand their options before committing to treatment. The consultation gives you clear information and a personalized plan.
This page explains what happens at the consultation, which factors affect suitability and what the next steps look like. You can use it to prepare your questions before you visit.
What an implant is
A dental implant is a small post, usually made of titanium, that is placed in the jawbone to act as a tooth root. Over time the bone typically bonds with the post, creating a stable base for the replacement tooth.
A single implant can replace one tooth, while several implants can support a bridge or secure a denture. The right design depends on how many teeth are missing and the condition of your jaw.
Implants are placed to replace the root, which sets them apart from treatments that rely on neighbouring teeth. This allows the surrounding teeth to stay untouched when a single tooth is replaced.
What the consultation covers
The dentist reviews your medical and dental history, examines your teeth and gums and discusses your goals. Digital dental X-rays give a clear picture of the bone available to hold an implant.
Candidacy depends on factors such as bone volume, gum health, general health and habits. The dentist explains what each finding means and what preparation may be needed.
Gum health receives close attention at this visit because inflamed gums can affect healing. If gum treatment is needed first, the dentist includes it in your plan.
- Review of medical history
- Examination of teeth and gums
- Digital dental X-rays
- Assessment of jawbone
- Discussion of options and next steps
Treatment options and considerations
Some patients need gum treatment or extra bone support before an implant can be placed. Others may be better served by a bridge or denture, and the dentist outlines each route honestly so you can decide.
Implant treatment usually happens in stages with healing time between them. The dentist explains the likely sequence, the number of visits and what to expect, depending on assessment.
Habits such as smoking and conditions such as diabetes can influence healing. The dentist discusses these openly and helps you prepare so treatment has the best chance of going smoothly.
Your consultation visit
Bring a list of any medicines you take and any questions you have. You are welcome to ask about each stage, and the team works in a gentle and calm environment that suits anxious patients.
At the end of the visit you leave with a personalized recommendation. If implants suit you, the next appointments are planned together. If another option fits better, the dentist guides you towards it.
There is no pressure to decide on the day. Take your time, review the recommendations and return with questions whenever you are ready.
Long term care and related services
Implants need the same daily care as natural teeth, with careful brushing, cleaning between teeth and regular check-ups. Healthy gums are essential, so gum disease treatment and deep cleaning often support implant success.
If you have missing teeth, you may also explore dental bridges and dentures at the clinic. A consultation helps you compare these options side by side.
Our team can also discuss restoration choices, from a single crown on an implant to a bridge or denture supported by several implants. Knowing the end result in advance helps you choose with confidence.
