What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots—typically made of biocompatible titanium—that integrate with your jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. By mimicking the structure and function of natural teeth, implants provide a stable foundation for chewing, speaking, and smiling.

Key Benefits

Longevity: With proper care, implants can last 10 to 15 years or more.
Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss associated with missing teeth.
Natural Appearance: Custom-made crowns match the shape and colour of your existing teeth.
Improved Comfort: No slipping or clicking like traditional dentures—enjoy secure, stable teeth every day.

Our Dental Implant Process

Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive examination, including x-rays or CBCT scans, to assess your jawbone density, gum health, and overall suitability for implants. If a bone graft or other preliminary procedure is required, we’ll let you know.
Implant Placement
Our dentist will place a titanium implant post into your jawbone under local anaesthesia (or sedation dentistry, if preferred). This step is typically painless, and most patients experience minimal discomfort afterward.
Osseointegration (Healing Period)
Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone—a process known as osseointegration. We’ll provide thorough aftercare instructions and schedule check-ups to monitor your healing.
Abutment & Crown Placement
Once the implant is fully integrated, we attach a small abutment and then a custom-designed crown (or bridge/denture). This final step restores both the appearance and function of your tooth.
Ongoing Care & Follow-Ups
Maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular check-ups, and enjoy your new smile! With proper care, your dental implants can serve you well for years to come.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

What is the downside of dental implants?

While implants offer many advantages, some potential downsides include:

Cost: They can be more expensive than other tooth replacement options.
Surgery: Implant placement is a minor surgical procedure, which carries a small risk of complications like infection.
Time Investment: The healing process can take a few months before the final crown is placed.

How much do dental implants cost in Australia?

Costs vary based on the number of implants, the need for bone grafting, and the type of crown or restoration. At Confidental Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer affordable payment options like Zip Pay, ensuring you can manage treatment costs more comfortably.

How long do dental implants last?

With consistent oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and a healthy lifestyle, implants can last well beyond 10 years. Many patients enjoy them for 15 years or longer. Regular professional care helps detect any issues early, preserving the lifespan of your implants.

How painful is getting a dental implant?

Patients often report mild discomfort rather than significant pain. We use local anaesthesia or sedation to ensure you’re relaxed during the procedure. After placement, some swelling or tenderness is normal but typically subsides within a few days. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ease your recovery.

How long do you go without teeth when getting implants?

In some cases, we can place a temporary crown or bridge on the same day, known as immediate implants. Otherwise, you might wear a temporary denture or leave the area as is while the implant integrates with the bone—usually around 3 to 6 months.

Are implants worth the money?

For many patients, yes. Dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-feeling solution that can reduce the risk of future oral health issues like shifting teeth or bone loss. They also eliminate the need to replace dentures or bridges as frequently.
