ABSTRACT

The study sought to explore patients' motivations and expectations for dental implants. In this study a single-setting,
qualitative research through an exploratory design was utilized through semi-structured, telephone interviews were conducted
with nine patients who had consulted a restorative dental practitioner with an interest in implantology about the possibility of
replacing their missing teeth with dental implants. Interview transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis to identify relevant
themes. The study revealed that the main theme to emerge was 'normality' and that participants expected implants to restore
their oral-related quality of life to 'normal'. It was concluded that patients' belief that dental implants are just like natural teeth
could be cause for concern if it leads them to treat them as such, and thereby not follow the recommended specialist care
they require. The findings emphasize the importance of good dental practitioner-patient communication in assessing
expectations of treatment and outcomes.
