What Are Dental Implants?

Gum Treatment

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. They are small posts, usually made of titanium, that are placed into the jawbone. After healing, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant.

Dental implants are designed to support replacement teeth and help restore normal chewing, speech, and appearance. They are commonly used because they are stable, durable, and compatible with the jawbone.

Dental implants are widely used in Australian dental practice because they offer:

What to Expect During the Procedure?

The dental implant process is done in steps to ensure safety and long-term success.

1

Consultation and Assessment

An initial assessment is completed to evaluate oral health, jawbone condition, and medical history. Dental X-rays or scans may be taken to assist with treatment planning.

2

Implant Placement

A titanium implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. The implant is positioned to act as a replacement for the natural tooth root.

3

Healing Period

Following placement, the surrounding bone heals and integrates with the implant over time. This biological process, known as osseointegration, helps provide stability for the replacement tooth.

4

Final Tooth Placement

After adequate healing, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant to restore oral function and appearance.

Factors Influencing Dental Implant Costs

We understand that treatment costs are an important consideration. The overall cost of dental implant treatment can vary depending on several clinical and individual factors.
Patients are encouraged to check with their private health insurance provider regarding any potential benefits for implant-related procedures. Our team can assist by providing treatment information or documentation if required.

Types of Dental Implants

Depending on your needs, different implant options may be recommended

Single Tooth Implant

Single Tooth Implant

Used to replace one missing tooth. A titanium implant is placed in the jawbone and topped with a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. It helps maintain bone strength and does not affect nearby teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridge

Implant-Supported Bridge

Recommended when two or more teeth are missing in a row. Instead of resting on natural teeth, the bridge is supported by dental implants, providing better stability, improved chewing, and a natural appearance.
Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-Supported Dentures

Designed for patients missing many or all teeth. The dentures are firmly attached to implants, preventing slipping or movement. This option improves comfort, speech, and confidence compared to traditional removable dentures.
All-on-6 Implants

All-on-x Implants

All-on-X uses multiple implants to support a full arch of teeth. The number of implants used depends on individual treatment needs, helping provide stability, support, and long-term function.

1. Are dental implants painful?
Dental implant treatment is usuallyless painful than expected. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during surgery. Mild swelling or discomfort after the procedure is normal and can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief.
The full dental implant process typically takes 3 to 6 months. This includes implant placement and healing time for the bone to fuse with the implant. In some cases, a temporary tooth may be placed earlier, depending on your oral health and treatment plan.
Most healthy adults can get dental implants. You need healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or gum disease may require additional care or treatment before implants are placed.
Dental implants should be cared for like natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups and professional cleans. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist help ensure long-term implant success.
