Dental Implants in Highgate Hill, QLD

At Be Well Dental, we want to help you eat, speak and smile with a full set of teeth. If you have missing teeth, dental implants can offer a durable, natural-looking solution that can restore both function and aesthetics, while protecting long-term oral health.

Why Is It Important to Replace Missing Teeth?

dentists working on dental implants in highgate hill

Missing teeth do more than leave a gap in your smile. Over time, they can lead to:

  • Shifting of surrounding teeth
  • Bone loss in the jaw
  • Difficulty chewing and speaking
  • Changes to your facial structure

Because a dental implant replaces the missing root, not just the visible part of the tooth, it can help preserve jawbone health, maintain facial support and keep neighbouring teeth stable.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, it's designed to support a crown, bridge or denture, thus helping restore the look and function of a natural tooth.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Implants?

Dental implants are often considered to be a great option for people who:

  • Are missing one or more teeth
  • Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone
  • Want a fixed, long-term solution instead of removable dentures
  • Are looking to improve chewing function and aesthetics
  • Are in good general health

We’ll conduct a thorough assessment, including 3-D imaging, to help ensure you’re a suitable candidate. If you've had bone loss, grafting procedures may be considered to improve your eligibility.

Why Choose Be Well Dental?

At Be Well Dental, your care is in experienced hands. Dr. Will is known for his calm manner, meticulous surgical technique and commitment to patient comfort. Whether you’re receiving a single implant or a full-mouth solution, we aim to help you feel informed and supported every step of the way.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants can offer many benefits for many patients.

Considered to Be a Stable Replacement for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are embedded into the jawbone. This design is meant to stabilise the implant so it won't slip or shift.

Designed to Feel and Function Like Natural Teeth

Dental implants are crafted to look and function like natural teeth, while also blending in with surrounding teeth.

Help Preserve Jawbone and Helps Prevent Bone Loss

Because implants replace the tooth root, they can stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone deterioration.

May Not Affect Surrounding Teeth (Unlike Bridges)

Unlike traditional bridges, implants are designed to be self-supporting and preserve neighbouring teeth.

Can Improve Speech, Chewing and Overall Oral Health

Dental implants can restore natural function and help people chew food and speak properly.

Can Support Single Crowns, Bridges or Full-Arch Dentures

Dental implants are versatile and can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth or even a full arch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients can return to work or normal activities within a day or two. The implant itself typically takes 3–6 months to fully integrate with the bone before placing the final crown or prosthesis.

With proper care, dental implants can last for a very long time, often a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding smoking are key to long-term success.

Placing a dental implant involves surgically implanting a titanium screw into the jawbone, which will permanently stay in place. However, in the absence of regular checkups and good upkeep (both brushing and flossing), dental implants and the crowns that sit on top could have some issues that affect their longevity.

A dental implant is meant to join with the jawbone and should not require removal, but a few conditions may affect the longevity of a dental implant procedure:

  • Gum disease
  • Lack of brushing and flossing before and after dental implant
  • Diet heavy in sugary foods or others detrimental to oral health
  • Accumulation of plaque
  • Smoking tobacco
  • Insufficient amount of jawbone for implant placement
  • Grinding your teeth (also known as bruxism)

These conditions could potentially result in a failed implant. Still, by arranging a consultation with our specialists here at Be Well Dental, we can determine whether an implant is feasible, to begin with. 

Also, we'd be more than happy to discuss what we can do to serve your needs best. We strive to create long-lasting dental implants that will stay in for years to come. We invite you to visit our Hillgate Hill QLD practice to chat about restoring your smile.

The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia to help reduce discomfort. Most patients are surprised that the procedure is much better than they had imagined. Dr. Will’s gentle approach and advanced techniques help ensure your experience is as smooth as possible.

In the case of missing teeth, a dental implant is a viable solution in helping to restore optimal oral health, appearance and functionality. Dental implants in Highgate Hill replace the roots of your teeth if they are damaged or removed. After placement, a dental implant provides a solid, permanent foundation for a new tooth.

Our specialist at Be Well Dental will place a metal screw through the gums and into the jawbone. In most cases, screws for dental implants are composed of titanium-a biocompatible metal that bonds well with the jawbone. An implant creates stability and a permanent foundation for a crown, which ultimately replaces a missing tooth!

The jawbone adapts to the dental implant and reinforces the screw placement. To finish the job, our dentists fit a crown onto the screw to finally fix those annoying gaps and bring a smile back to life.

What Dental Implants Can Achieve

  • Restoration of a complete smile
  • Prevention of jawbone deterioration
  • Improve speech
  • Improve chewing
  • Help continually maintain your overall oral health

Our dentist in Hillgate Hill, QLD, provides dental implant services and consultations to determine the proper procedure to meet your personal dental needs. We invite you to call in and schedule a consultation.
