Dental Implants

Q: How soon can I eat normally after implants?

Soft foods are usually fine soon after surgery, with personalised dietary guidance from your dentist.

Q: Are implants better than dentures?

How the Dental Implant Procedure Works

We keep the process straightforward, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.

Step 1

Consultation & Assessment

You’ll meet with our specialist implant dentist in New Milton. We’ll review your health history, take 3D scans, and discuss your specific goals.

Step 2

Treatment Planning

Based on your anatomy and needs, we create a customised treatment plan, including implant number, position, and restoration type.

Step 3

Implant Placement

Under local anaesthesia (with sedation options available), titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. This forms a stable foundation for your new teeth.

Step 4

Osseointegration (Healing)

Over several weeks, the implants fuse with the bone in a natural process called osseointegration. This ensures long-term stability and strength. See the full dental implant treatment timeline for how long each stage takes.

Step 5

Restoration Placement

Once healed, custom crowns, bridges, or full-arch prosthetics are attached, giving you a functional, aesthetic smile.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a really positive experience with the clinic and its staff. I initially came to see Dr Ackerman for Smile White orthodontic treatment after another dentist dismissed my case due to the alignment of my teeth and wasn’t willing to explore treatment options. During the process, I needed a filling, and Dr Ackerman arranged for me to see a private dentist within the clinic. The repair was completed quickly and to a high standard, allowing my aligner treatment to continue without delay. Throughout my treatment, every visit was thorough and professional. Dr Ackerman was always friendly, approachable, and welcoming, both to me and to my daughter when I occasionally needed to bring her along. My teeth are now beautifully straight, and while my dental journey isn’t quite finished, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to the clinic for future treatments such as implants or veneers. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment or other dental work.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was advised to have the crown taken off an impacted wisdom tooth which was causing infection, and then a bone graft would be put on the jaw under the gum line. I am an extremely nervous patient but was made to feel at ease by the whole team who explained the procedure and the options for sedation.  I opted to have IV sedation and have no regrets about paying the extra money for this. I did not feel a thing and I don't remember anything about it. In fact, I was told that I was snoring for the last 20 mins of the procedure. The follow up care and advice was excellent with a review booked in 3 weeks after the extraction. Mr Puttur, the Dental Nurses, the reception team and the sedationist delivered exceptional care and understanding which was important to me as a patient, hence why I am giving a 5 star review.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent treatment. Everything was explained fully before treatment and I was very satisfied with how everything went and the post treatment plan given to me. I was very nervous beforehand as had bad experiences with Dentist in the past, but they helped me relax and helped me through the whole process.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been attending the Ackerman Clinic this past year for a bone graft and 2 implants. I had my final visit today when Dr Putter fitted two perfect implants. I’m thrilled with the result. Everyone at the clinic is very friendly and Dr Putter is a perfectionist. My new teeth are perfect. The bone graft was done in an hour and a half and the result was positive. It was not painful and I just needed painkillers when I was recovering at home afterwards.   The equipment they have at the clinic is first class. Thank you Dr Putter and all the staff.

They were there while I was doing my clear aligner treatment and gave a warm and welcoming atmosphere every time I had an appointment. Very inclusive, professional, informative and overall friendly. Would recommend them 10 out of 10 times.
