Dental Implants

Routine Dental Implants

When a tooth is lost, there are considerable changes to both the function and aesthetics of the mouth. Eating may become more difficult, surrounding teeth can shift, and if a front tooth is missing, your smile may also be affected.

A dental implant is a long-term solution that replaces the missing tooth root with a biocompatible titanium fixture, providing a strong foundation for a custom-made crown. With modern 3D imaging and minimally invasive techniques, implant placement is highly precise and generally very comfortable.

After the implant is placed, it is left to heal and integrate with the jawbone, this normally takes around 3–4 months. Once integration is complete, a natural-looking crown is attached to restore full function and appearance.

In some cases, when there has been bone loss after extraction, bone grafting or regeneration may be required to rebuild the area before implant placement. Although this adds time and cost, it ensures the implant is placed in the best position for long-term success.

Dental implants have an exceptionally high success rate in clinical studies. With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, they can last for many years, often a lifetime. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, and gum health may influence longevity.

Dental Implant Treatment Options

We provide several treatment options depending on the number of teeth missing and the condition of the surrounding structures:

Single Tooth Implant

Ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridge

Used to replace multiple missing teeth using fewer implants rather than individual crowns.

Implant-Retained Dentures

A more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures; implants securely anchor the denture in place.

Bone Grafting & Regeneration

Required when bone loss has occurred. This prepares the site for successful implant placement.

Immediate Implants (Same-Day Implants)

In select cases, an implant may be placed immediately after extraction, reducing treatment time.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Feels and functions like a natural tooth

Strong, stable and comfortable for chewing and speaking.

Prevents bone loss

Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the “sunken” look that can occur after tooth loss.

Protects surrounding teeth

Unlike bridges, implants do not require cutting or altering healthy teeth.

Long-lasting solution

With proper care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime.

Improves confidence and appearance

Custom-made crowns are crafted to match your natural teeth for a seamless smile.

Enhanced comfort

No slipping or movement like traditional dentures.

How the Dental Implant Procedure Works

Although each treatment varies, most cosmetic dentistry follows these steps:

Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Scan

We assess your mouth, bone levels, gum health, and suitability for implants.

Treatment Planning

A personalised plan is created using 3D imaging to map exact implant placement.

Implant Placement

A titanium implant is gently inserted into the jawbone during a minimally invasive procedure.

Healing & Integration (Osseointegration)

Over 3–4 months, the bone naturally fuses to the implant.

Crown Design & Fit

A custom-made porcelain crown is attached to complete your smile.

Maintenance & Reviews

Regular dental visits ensure long-term success and gum health.

Dental Implant FAQs

Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report only mild discomfort, similar to a simple extraction. Local anaesthetic is used, and healing is generally straightforward.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime.

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Most people are suitable candidates if they have good general and oral health. Smokers or patients with gum disease may require additional care.

How long does the whole procedure take for a dental implant?

Typical treatment takes 3–4 months, but can be longer if bone grafting is needed.

How much do dental implants cost?

Implants are an investment in long-term oral health. Costs depend on the number of implants, bone grafting needs, and type of restoration. Payment plans and rebates may be available.
