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.
