Dental Implants in Dulwich Hill

At The Smile Spot in Dulwich Hill, we specialise in modern, long-lasting solutions for missing teeth. Our Dental Implants and All-on-4 treatments help restore your smile’s function, comfort, and appearance—often in a single day. With a dedicated team and advanced techniques, we’re here to give you a natural-looking, confident smile you’ll love.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are durable, biocompatible tooth replacements placed into your gums and jawbone to fill gaps left by missing teeth. Each implant supports a custom-made crown, resulting in a stable, fully functional tooth that looks and feels just like the real thing. Implants maintain bone structure, improve chewing efficiency, and help you speak clearly—without relying on removable dentures.

Key Benefits of Dental Implants:

  • Natural appearance and feel: Implants blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
  • Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
  • Improved oral health: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth.
  • Enhanced comfort: No slipping or discomfort like traditional dentures.
  • Restored function: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
  • Bone preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.

Our team combines precision dentistry with advanced technology, including laser dentistry, to ensure comfortable and effective treatment.

The Dental Implant Process

Understanding what to expect can help ease any concerns. Here’s what the dental implant journey typically involves:

  1. Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate. This may include X-rays and 3D scans to evaluate bone density and structure.
  2. Implant Placement: Under local anaesthesia, the titanium implant is carefully positioned in your jawbone. Most patients report minimal discomfort during this procedure.
  3. Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, a temporary crown may be placed.
  4. Crown Attachment: Once healing is complete, your custom crown is attached to the implant, completing your new smile.
    The entire process typically takes several months, but the result is a permanent, stable tooth replacement that functions just like a natural tooth.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a tooth implant cost in Australia?

A single dental implant typically costs between $3,000 and $6,000 in Australia, depending on the complexity of the case and any additional procedures required.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, as local anaesthesia is used. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.

The main downsides include the upfront cost, the time required for treatment (several months), and the need for surgery. However, the long-term benefits often outweigh these considerations.

The 3/2 rule refers to the recommended minimum dimensions for implant placement: at least 3mm of bone around the implant and 2mm between adjacent implants or teeth.

Dental implants can be placed once jaw growth is complete, typically after age 18. There’s no upper age limit—what matters most is overall health and bone quality.

Yes! Once fully healed, dental implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat all your favourite foods without restrictions.

People with uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smokers, those with severe bone loss (without grafting), or individuals with certain autoimmune conditions may not be ideal candidates.

The surgical placement typically takes 1-2 hours per implant. The entire process, including healing and crown placement, usually spans 3-6 months.

Alternatives include dental bridges, partial or full dentures, and in some cases, cosmetic options like veneers for minor aesthetic concerns

Recent advances include computer-guided implant placement, immediate load implants (teeth in a day), and mini implants for less invasive procedures.

Patients with severe bone loss (without grafting), uncontrolled chronic diseases, heavy smokers, or those undergoing certain cancer treatments may need alternative solutions or additional preparatory procedures.
