Implant Dentistry
Overview
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Acting as artificial roots, they provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants look, feel and function like natural teeth, making them one of the most durable and lifelike tooth replacement options available.
Our Implant Process
Our implant process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free, ensuring you’re comfortable every step of the way:
Comprehensive Assessment – Includes digital scans and a thorough oral examination.
Tailored Treatment Plan – Based on your bone health, the number of missing teeth, and aesthetic goals.
Surgical Placement – Implants are placed with precision using advanced technology.
Healing & Integration – Over time, the implant bonds with your jawbone to create a stable base.
Final Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge or denture is attached to complete your smile.
Our Implant Dentistry Services
We offer a wide range of implant solutions tailored to suit your individual needs, whether you’re missing a single tooth or require a complete smile restoration. Explore our services below:
All-on-4 / All-on-X Implants
All-on-4 and All-on-X dental implants are ideal solutions for patients missing most or all of their teeth. Using four to six strategically placed implants, we can support a full arch of natural-looking teeth. This technique offers enhanced stability and often avoids the need for bone grafting.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach that restores both function and appearance for patients with multiple dental issues. We combine implant placement, restorations and cosmetic treatments to rebuild your smile and improve your quality of life.
Single Tooth Implants
A single tooth implant is the best long-term option for replacing one missing tooth. It helps preserve jawbone density, keeps surrounding teeth from shifting, and functions just like a natural tooth—without affecting adjacent teeth, unlike a bridge.
Multiple Tooth Implants
Missing several teeth? Implant-supported bridges allow us to replace multiple teeth with fewer implants. This provides strong, long-lasting results without the inconvenience of removable partial dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Say goodbye to loose-fitting dentures. Implant-supported dentures lock into place with dental implants, offering greater comfort, improved speech and enhanced chewing ability. They can be removed for cleaning but stay secure throughout the day.
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts
If you’ve experienced bone loss, you may still be a candidate for implants. Bone grafting and sinus lifts help rebuild the jaw structure, ensuring you have enough bone to support dental implants and improve the overall success of treatment.
Teeth in a Day
Get your smile back in a single visit. Our “Teeth in a Day” option allows for implant placement and temporary teeth on the same day—minimising downtime and giving you immediate function and aesthetics.
Implant Costs & Payment Options
Dental implants are an investment in your long-term health and confidence. Costs depend on your individual case, but we offer clear pricing and flexible payment plans to make your treatment more affordable. We also assist with health fund claims and financing options.Sedation & Comfort
We offer a range of sedation options, including oral sedation and IV sedation, to ensure your experience is calm and pain-free. Our team prioritises your comfort and wellbeing, using modern techniques to reduce anxiety and promote a smooth recovery.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Say goodbye to loose-fitting dentures. Implant-supported dentures lock into place with dental implants, offering greater comfort, improved speech and enhanced chewing ability. They can be removed for cleaning but stay secure throughout the day.
Implant Dentistry FAQ
Implant dentistry is a specialised field of dental care focused on replacing missing teeth with titanium implants that fuse with the jawbone. It offers a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores both function and aesthetics—making it one of the most effective modern options in restorative dentistry.
Yes, dental implants have been safely used for decades and are considered one of the most predictable procedures in implant dentistry. When placed by experienced professionals using modern techniques and high-quality materials, dental implants have a success rate of over 95%.
The implant dentistry process varies depending on individual needs. For most patients, the complete process—from consultation to final restoration—takes between 3 to 6 months. However, with options like Teeth in a Day or All-on-4 implants, you may receive a temporary smile immediately after surgery.
Most patients report minimal discomfort. We use local anaesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure the procedure is pain-free. After surgery, some swelling and tenderness are normal but manageable with over-the-counter medication and rest.
You may be a suitable candidate for dental implants if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have good oral and general health
- Have adequate jawbone to support the implant (or are open to bone grafting)
Implant dentistry offers several advantages, including:
- Long-lasting results (often a lifetime with proper care)
- Natural look and feel
- No slipping or clicking like with traditional dentures
- Preserves jawbone and facial structure
- No need to file down adjacent teeth, as with bridges
One of the advantages of implant dentistry is how easy implants are to care for. Simply brush and floss daily, and visit your dentist for routine check-ups. Implants don’t decay, but healthy gums are essential for their long-term success.
Implant dentistry is an investment in your long-term oral health and quality of life. While the upfront cost may be higher than other options, implants often last a lifetime and don’t require replacements like bridges or dentures. We offer payment plans and work with your health fund to make treatment accessible.
Implant dentistry can accommodate everything from a single missing tooth to a full arch. Options include:
- Single Tooth Implants
- Multiple Tooth Bridges on Implants
- All-on-4 / All-on-X Full Arch Restorations
- Implant-Supported Dentures
Yes. One of the great advancements in implant dentistry is the ability to perform bone grafting and sinus lifts to rebuild the jawbone. These procedures make implants possible for many patients who were previously told they weren’t eligible.
Absolutely. One of the main goals of implant dentistry is to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. We carefully design your crown, bridge, or denture to match the shape, size and colour of your natural teeth.
While implant dentistry boasts a very high success rate, rare failures can occur. These are typically due to infection, insufficient bone, or improper care. If this happens, we can usually replace the implant after addressing the underlying issue.
