“Fail to plan is to plan to fail.”
In implant dentistry, proper planning is everything.
Poor planning is one of the biggest causes of complications during and after dental implant treatment. That’s why at Stockport Implant Centre, every implant case begins with a 3D CBCT scan – the gold standard in precision and safety for modern implant dentistry.
In this post, you’ll learn why a 3D CBCT scan is so important, what questions to ask before choosing where to be treated, and what this critical step means for your peace of mind and long-term results.

At Stockport Implant Centre, we believe everyone deserves to smile, eat, and live with complete confidence. Dental implants are the most advanced and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth – improving not just your smile, but your overall quality of life.
Below, we explain the many benefits of dental implants and why they’re the preferred choice for long-term oral health, comfort, and confidence.

When it comes to dental implants, the procedure, recovery, and restoration process vary depending on whether you’re replacing a single tooth or a full arch of teeth with a solution such as All-on-4 / All-on-6.
All these treatments are highly successful – the main differences are in timing, number of implants, and how quickly you can enjoy fixed teeth.

Understanding the Connection
Diabetes isn’t automatically a barrier to dental implants. With good medical control and careful planning, many people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes can receive implant treatment safely and predictably.
At Stockport Implant Centre, we assess every patient individually to ensure the best possible outcomes.

The BBC recently published an insightful article on the growing risks of dental tourism, where patients travel abroad for low-cost dental treatment.
As the report notes, “The reality is rarely as simple as it appears on Instagram.”
At Stockport Implant Centre, we are proud to be one of only a few clinics in the UK and the only one in the Greater Manchester area equipped with the Straumann® Falcon dynamic navigation system.
