Dental Implants

A permanent solution for missing teeth

Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile — but dental implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, implants can restore your confidence and function with results that look and feel like your own teeth.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium. They’re surgically placed into the jawbone, where they integrate with the bone to support a crown, bridge, or denture.

Once healed, the implant provides a strong, stable foundation for a permanent replacement tooth — offering the closest thing to your natural tooth in both appearance and function.

How do Dental Implants work?

  • Consultation and assessment – We assess your mouth, bone levels, and overall dental health to ensure implants are right for you.
  • Implant placement – A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic.
  • Healing phase (osseointegration) – Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone to form a stable base.
  • Restoration – Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to complete your smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  1. Permanent and secure – Implants stay firmly in place and don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
  2. Natural look and feel – Designed to match the colour, shape, and function of your original teeth.
  3. Preserve jawbone health – Stimulate the bone and prevent bone loss caused by missing teeth.
  4. No impact on surrounding teeth – Unlike bridges, adjacent teeth remain untouched.
  5. Improved chewing and speaking – Eat and talk with confidence, without slipping or discomfort.
  6. Long-lasting – With good care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime.

Who can get Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with missing teeth are good candidates. Ideal conditions include:

  • Healthy gums and bone levels.
  • No untreated gum disease or active decay.
  • Non-smokers or willingness to quit during treatment.
  • Overall good health for minor surgical procedures.

Even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone, bone grafting or alternative techniques may still make implants possible.

Implant Options we offer

  • Single Tooth Implants – Replace one missing tooth with a crown on a single implant.

  • Implant Bridges – Replace multiple missing teeth using two or more implants.

  • Implant-Retained Dentures – A stable, secure alternative to loose full or partial dentures.

We’ll tailor your treatment plan to suit your unique needs and goals.

What to expect

  • The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic (or sedation if needed).
  • Healing time varies, but most patients experience minimal discomfort.
  • We’ll guide you through every step, from surgery to final restoration.
  • Ongoing check-ups ensure your implant stays healthy and stable for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental Implants

Implant questions, honestly answered.

Thinking about implants? Here's what our Five Dock patients ask us most.

What is a dental implant, and how does it work? +

A dental implant is a permanent, biocompatible titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once fused with the bone, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore natural tooth function and appearance.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants at Vivid Dental? +

Most adults in good health with adequate jawbone density and healthy gums are candidates for implants. Our Five Dock team conducts digital imaging and thorough clinical evaluations to determine eligibility.

How long do dental implants last? +

The titanium implant post can last a lifetime with diligent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. The visible prosthetic crown generally lasts 10 to 15+ years.

Are dental implant procedures painful? +

No. Implants are placed under local anesthesia or sedation, making the procedure pain-free. Mild post-surgical sore feelings are manageable with standard pain relievers.

How much do dental implants cost in Sydney's Inner West? +

Cost depends on individual needs, such as single vs. multi-tooth restoration and whether bone grafting is required. Vivid Dental offers clear pricing, HICAPS health fund processing, and payment plans.
