Dental implants offer a long-lasting, reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. At Dentists on the Gold Coast, we provide expert care to ensure your implants look and function like natural teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, dental implant procedures restore your confidence and improve your quality of life.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the posts fuse with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures. This process for dental implants ensures a secure, durable replacement for missing teeth that feel and function naturally.
The dental implants procedure typically involves multiple stages, including an initial consultation, implant placement and the final attachment of custom restorations. Our team at Dentists on the Gold Coast ensures a comfortable experience at every step, using advanced techniques to achieve the best results.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants provide numerous advantages that make them a preferred option for tooth replacement:
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring your smile’s aesthetics.
- Durability: With proper dental implant care, they can last a lifetime, offering a permanent solution to missing teeth.
- Improved Functionality: Implants restore full chewing and speaking abilities, enhancing comfort and convenience.
- Bone Health Preservation: By stimulating the jawbone, implants help prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.
Whether you’re looking to replace a single tooth or need full-mouth restoration, dental implants provide unmatched functionality and appearance.
Dental Implant Care
Maintaining dental implants is essential for ensuring their longevity and performance. Here are some tips for optimal implant care:
- Brush and floss regularly to keep the surrounding teeth and gums healthy.
- Visit our clinic for routine check-ups and professional cleanings.
- Avoid habits like smoking, which can affect implant stability and gum health.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to protect your restoration.

FAQs
Q. How long do dental implants last?
A: With proper care and maintenance, dental implants have the potential to last for decades or even a lifetime. The titanium implant fuses with your jawbone (osseointegration), creating a stable foundation. The success and longevity depend on factors like oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding damaging habits. In many cases, the implant body (the titanium post) remains intact for life, while the crown or prosthetic component may need occasional refurbishment or replacement over time.
Q. Are dental implants painful?
A: The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthesia (and sedation, if required), so you should not feel pain during the surgery. Some mild discomfort, swelling or bruising is common in the days following the procedure, but this can be managed with pain relief, cold packs, and following post-operative instructions. Most patients find the recovery quite manageable and well worth the long-term benefit.
Q. Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
A: Many people are candidates for dental implants, but suitability depends on several factors:
- Bone health and volume: Your jawbone must be strong enough to support the implant. If you have low bone volume, a bone graft may be recommended.
- Gum health: Any active gum disease must be treated before implants can be placed.
- General health: Certain medical conditions (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, radiation therapy in the jaw area, smoking) can affect healing and integration.
- Oral hygiene and commitment: A good oral hygiene routine and regular dental visits are essential for implant success.
- During your consultation, we’ll assess your medical history, bone structure (via imaging), and oral health to determine if implants are right for you.
Q. Can dental implants replace multiple teeth or a full arch?
A: Yes — dental implants are very versatile. They can replace:
- A single missing tooth, using one implant with a crown.
- Several adjacent teeth, through an implant-supported bridge.
- A full upper or lower arch, with implant-supported dentures or techniques such as “All-on-4” (where a row of teeth is supported on four implants).
These options offer better stability, chewing function, and comfort than conventional dentures.
Q. How much do dental implants cost?
A: The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants required, the type of restoration (single tooth, bridge, or full arch), and any additional treatments such as bone grafting. We provide a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate during your consultation.
