What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a strong titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone and healed, a restoration—such as a dental crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture—is attached, restoring both the function and appearance of your smile. The complete dental implant procedure typically requires 3–6 appointments over 1–6 months, depending on individual needs. At Fortitude Valley Dentist, the cost of a single dental implant ranges from $4,000 to $5,000, offering a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Treatment
Getting a dental implant involves three key phases, and understanding each step can help you feel confident about the process. First, our experienced dentists at Fortitude Valley Dentist will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if a dental implant is the right solution for your missing teeth and to confirm that you are a suitable candidate. Once approved, we will guide you through the next steps of your dental implant procedure for a safe, effective, and long-lasting result.
Step 1: Dental Implant Placement
The first step in your dental implant procedure involves surgically placing the titanium implant into your jawbone. A healing period of approximately three months is needed for the implant to fully integrate with the bone. If suitable, a temporary crown can be fitted to maintain aesthetics while your permanent dental crown is being prepared. In some cases, tooth extraction may be required before implant placement. If extractions are necessary, we will complete them and allow proper healing before proceeding with your dental implant treatment.
Step 2: Creating Your Dental Restoration
Once the dental implant has healed, impressions of the implant site and surrounding teeth are taken. These impressions are sent to the dental laboratory, where your custom dental crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture is carefully crafted. This step ensures a precise fit and natural appearance for your restored smile.
Step 3: Fitting Your Dental Implant Restoration
After your custom dental crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture is completed at the laboratory, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to securely fit the restoration onto your dental implant. Once attached, your dental implant treatment is complete, restoring the function, strength, and natural appearance of your smile.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Modern dental implants are one of the most effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. Made from a durable nickel-titanium alloy, these implants are highly biocompatible and widely accepted by the body—similar to the material used in orthopedic bone repairs for decades. A nickel-titanium dental implant acts as a strong, natural tooth root, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures and restoring both function and appearance to your smile.
Our Approach to Dental Implant Therapy
At Fortitude Valley Dentist, we prioritise a natural and functional approach to dental implant treatment, giving your body the time it needs to heal and fully integrate with the implant. Our dental implant placement is carried out in carefully planned stages, allowing us to monitor bone integration and stability before fitting the final dental crown. This systematic process ensures a smoother, more comfortable experience and delivers long-lasting, functional dental implants for a healthy, confident smile.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Made from a durable nickel-titanium alloy, these implants are well-tolerated by the body and have been used safely for decades, including in orthopedic bone repairs. A nickel-titanium dental implant functions like a natural tooth root, providing a strong and reliable foundation for crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures, helping you restore both the function and appearance of your smile.
