Dental implants Gregory Hills:
A gorgeous,
gap-free smile awaits.

Most patients with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implant treatment. We’ve helped many patients successfully restore their smiles after losing their natural teeth due to injury or gum disease. For patients with significant jaw bone loss, bone grafting may be required to add volume and density to the bone so a dental implant can be supported.

With the correct dental care and maintenance, your dental implants should last for many years to come. This means a good oral health routine with twice daily brushing and flossing, as well as six-monthly check-ups with your dentist.

Dental implants are made from titanium. This makes them extremely hard-wearing and long-lasting, able to withstand the same everyday pressure (like biting and chewing) that natural tooth roots can. Titanium is also a highly biocompatible material. This means that it fuses well with human bone and has a lower risk of rejection by the body. Over time, the jaw bone grows around the dental implant, creating more strength and stability for the implant tooth.

Don’t worry! You don’t have to be without teeth during your dental implant treatment. There are a few solutions to maintain your smile and function while your jaw heals and the dental implant integrates with the bone. Depending on the location of your missing tooth, a temporary false tooth may be worn during your healing period.

Most patients opt to have IV sedation (this is also known as ‘sleep dentistry’) during the dental implants procedure. This is a type of ‘conscious’ sedation where you remain awake, but feel very drowsy, relaxed and comfortable. Afterwards, you likely won’t have any recollection of the procedure. Local anaesthetic is also used during your procedure so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort. Our sedation treatments are safely overseen by Dr Zoe Rodgers, our dedicated medical doctor with additional training in sedation treatment. Learn about our sedation options in detail here.

You may experience some mild discomfort, swelling and bruising for a few days after your treatment, but this can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

Put simply, a single dental implant is used to replace a single missing tooth. This means, if you’re missing one tooth or a few individual teeth in different areas of the mouth, a single dental implant may be a suitable tooth replacement option.

However, if you’re missing several teeth in a row, your dentist may recommend an implant-supported dental bridge. This involves the placement of at least two dental implants in the jaw to secure a dental bridge of several teeth in place. The benefit of this is that it restores the function and appearance of the missing teeth without damaging the neighbouring (often healthy) teeth. A tooth-supported dental bridge, on the other hand, uses the neighbouring teeth to hold the bridge in place and may cause damage over time.
