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.

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?
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.

5. Can I Eat Normally with Implants?
6. What’s the Cost Compared to Other Options?
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.
