Strong and natural looking teeth are essential to our emotional and physical well-being. They let us enjoy the foods we love, and give us the confidence to meet daily life head on.

When we chew, each of our teeth encourages new, healthy bones to form in our jaws. The loss of teeth reduces how much new bone is produced, leading to your jaws becoming smaller and weaker.

 The natural erosion of jaw bone begins after losing even just one of your teeth. With time, this can lead to further tooth loss, and make you appear older from the lost support of your lips, cheeks and face.

The natural erosion of jaw bone begins after losing even just one of your teeth. With time, this can lead to further tooth loss, and make you appear older from the lost support of your lips, cheeks and face. They halt the sense of premature ageing caused by early tooth loss. The benefits are more than just cosmetic, as they maintain the integrity of your jaws, and help to prevent the further loss of teeth.

Dental Implants are a more permanent solution than Dentures or Dental Bridges. In fact, Dental Implants are the most durable form of tooth replacement, and placed with the right expertise can last a lifetime.

1. Dental Implant Consultation

The first stage of the process towards Dental Implants is to come and see our surgeons for a consultation. During the consultation our surgeons will explain the Dental Implants procedure to you. Our surgeons will answer your questions about the process, so you'll have the information you need to decide if Dental Implants are for you. We will provide you with up front costs for your proposed treatment. 

2. Dental Implant Planning

When you decide to go down the path of Dental Implants, we will arrange for you to have a 3D CT scan. This will assess the quality of your jaw bone, ensuring you are suitable for Dental Implant treatment. We will recommend bone grafting if you don't have enough bone. The CT scan is used in our 3D Implant Design process, ensuring your Dental Implants are placed to provide you with the best aesthetic outcome.

3. Dental Implant Surgery

The next stage is the placement of your Dental Implants. This can be done under LA in our Newcastle or Surry Hills rooms, or under GA at The Sydney Private Hospital or Warners Bay Private Hospital.

4. Dental Implant Healing

The jaw bone is left to fully integrate (fuse) with the Dental Implant. You will be given a temporary denture to wear during this time. After about three months you are ready for the permanent Dental Implant teeth.

This is a general overview of the procedure. Some people require more complex treatment which can lengthen treatment time, or increase the number of steps in the Dental Implants procedure explained here.
