Missing teeth can alter much more than your appearances. Chewing will become more challenging, speech may change, and the last time you smiled without worry feels like decades ago. That’s where dental implants come in — a long-term, naturally looking option that feels like your own teeth. At KAA Dentals, we’ve restored thousands of smiles across Mountain Ash and Tredegar, and one thing we know: every patient has questions. Below are the 7 most popular questions we receive concerning dental implants — and some straightforward, concise answers to assist you in your next steps.

1. What Are Dental Implants? A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as an artificial root for a missing tooth. The implant is placed into your jawbone, it will be made with a crown, which resembles and functions like a tooth. It’s strong, discreet, and permanent. Available at KAA Dentals – Mountain Ash & Tredegar
2. Are Dental Implants Painful? Not at all. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and many patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction. We also offer post-treatment care to manage any tenderness during recovery.
3. How Long Do Implants Last? On average, dental implants can last 10-20 years or even a lifetime, especially if you maintain good oral hygiene and go for dental visits regularly. It is one of the best investments for your oral health regarding durability.
4. Am I Too Old for Dental Implants? No! Dental implants are suitable for adults of any age — provided you have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone. We routinely help patients in their 60s and 70s restore their smile. Visit us for an eligibility assessment
5. Can I Eat Normally with Implants? Absolutely. Once healed, implants allow you to eat all your favourite foods with no slipping or sensitivity like traditional dentures. You’ll feel like you’ve got your natural teeth back.
6. What’s the Cost Compared to Other Options? While implants are a higher initial investment than bridges or dentures, they last far longer and provide more comfort and stability. With KAA Dent Prime, you can access implants starting at £330 — a fraction of typical private rates. Learn about our pricing on the KAA Dent Prime page.
7. How Soon Can I Get an Implant After Losing a Tooth? The sooner, the better — usually within a few weeks. This ensures your jawbone stays healthy and reduces the need for bone grafts. If it’s been longer, don’t worry — we can still help with advanced solutions. Book your consultation today Why Choose KAA Dentals for Dental Implants?
