What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-term tooth replacement option used to replace one or more missing teeth, including teeth that need to be removed. An implant is a small post, usually made of titanium, placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or restoration, such as a crown, bridge or denture, helping restore function and appearance. At selected Primary Dental centres, dental implants are provided by dentists following a comprehensive clinical assessment to confirm suitability based on oral health, bone levels, medical history, and individual treatment goals. Suitability may also be influenced by lifestyle factors such as smoking.

What to expect

1. Consultation and suitability assessment

A dental professional will assess your teeth, gums, bite and medical history. X-rays and/or 3D imaging may be recommended to evaluate bone support and plan treatment safely.

2. Treatment planning and preparation

A personalised implant plan is developed. Depending on your needs, this may include tooth removal, gum treatment, bone grafting or other preparation to support long-term stability. Treatment options, including alternatives, potential risks and estimated costs are discussed before treatment proceeds.

3. Implant placement and healing

The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Some swelling or discomfort after surgery is common, and aftercare instructions are provided. Healing time, which varies between patients, allows the implant to integrate with the bone before the final restoration is fitted.

4. Restoration placement and ongoing maintenance

A custom restoration (such as a crown) is attached to the implant. Regular reviews and professional cleaning help support gum health and long-term outcomes.

    I’ve been to many dental centres in Sydney and I must say this is one of the best dental service I’ve experienced. The location is so convenient, only 2 min walk from Town Hall. Staffs are supper friendly and gentle. They also offer very affordable price and you can pay with afferpay or zippay, which is amazing! Will definitely be back!

    I do enjoy the friendly and helpful staff, it’s makes all the difference. I will be the first to admit the dentist is my least favourite place to go however after my first visit for a general check up, I felt very confident and pleased with my appointment from Dr Brett Moore. He is compassionate and caring :)
