Brisbane Dental Implant FAQs
What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are a tooth replacement option that involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Altogether it has three parts, a post, a connector and a crown. Once the post fuses with the jawbone, a replacement tooth is attached to the post, resulting in a stable and durable restoration. Our Dental implant service in Brisbane offers several benefits, including improved appearance, function, and oral health.
Dental implant…
The post of the implant stimulates the root of the tooth and is placed into the jaw bone.
The connector, also known as the abutment is placed on top of the implant post.
The Dental Crown is the top part of the implant. it gives the dental implant a natural-tooth-looking appearance
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Value in investment because, unlike bridges and dentures, dental implants do not require replacement after a few years.
When it comes to finding the best solution for a missing tooth, our dentists in Brisbane recommend dental implants because compared to a dental bridge, a dental implant preserves the remaining teeth. Additionally, a dental bridge can prevent dental shifting however, the disadvantage of a dental bridge is that it requires the dentist to cut down the healthy teeth near the missing teeth so that they can be used as anchors for the dental bridge.
Implant Alternative
Sometimes, depending on the patient’s circumstances, a dental bridge may be a better option compared to a dental implant. Dental bridges are a good option for patients who cannot undergo minor surgery procedures.

Pure Dentistry Dental implant looks like and feels like a natural tooth. Most of our implant patients in Brisbane have selected dental implants to restore their chewing ability after missing a tooth. Many people use dental implants to enhance their health and their self-esteem.
Bone Loss
Dental implants are a great way to prevent bone loss and consequently prevent changes in the shape of your face because of bone loss. When a tooth is lost, the bone near the missing tooth starts to recede and dissolve away because it is not required to support the tooth in there. Consequently, the impact of losing the bone will eventually affect the shape of your face and the impact of losing bone is not limited to just your mouth.
The good news with dental implants is that they reverse bone loss. Our local Brisbane implant dentist will check that you have enough bone so that it can support your dental implant post.
Dental implant vs Dentures
Dentures can help you prevent dental shifting
When you lose a tooth, nearby teeth can shift into the gap. Dentures can replace missing teeth, but don’t stop this shift or bone loss under the gum. This loss can change your face shape
A benefit of dental implants is jaw bone loss prevention.
Dental implants are the best permanent tooth replacement solution. They help maintain jawbone health by acting like natural tooth roots. When we lose teeth, the jawbone can shrink. Implants stimulate the bone, keeping it strong and preventing bone loss, just like natural teeth do.

Is dental implant treatment a dental surgery procedure?
Yes. The post of the tooth implant is surgically inserted into the jaw bone. In a few months, the implant post begins to bond to the jaw bone. The surgery starts to heal with the post inside the jaw bone. Once healed, a natural tooth-looking crown is connected to the post connector. With your dental implant, you can eat, speak and brush just like your own natural teeth.
Tooth Extraction before dental implant
Sometimes, a tooth is so badly hurt that it can’t be fixed. In these cases, Brisbane emergency dentists can remove the tooth if you are in a lot of pain. If going to the dentist makes you really nervous, our dentists who provide sedation options in Brisbane are here to help you feel calm and comfortable. Our dentists are highly experienced at removing teeth gently and safely, using special techniques. They can also provide you with sedation to make the procedure as stress-free as possible. Removing a badly damaged tooth is an important step before we can place a dental implant. Think of an implant as a brand-new, root for a strong tooth that helps bring back your smile.
Careful Expert Tooth Extraction Before Tooth Implanting
Our Brisbane dental implanting professionals are very gentle in tooth extraction; they rely on leverage not excessive force. They are trained to use special tools and apply the exact amount of pressure against the tooth. With this tooth extraction technique, I can pop some teeth out in less than a minute.
Once the badly damaged tooth is removed by the dentist, our implant dentist can start the dental implant procedure.
Which patients are not good candidates for a dental implant?
People who might not be good candidates for dental implants are:
- Very Young People: Kids and teenagers whose jaws are still growing.
- People Who Smoke a Lot: Smoking can stop the implant from sticking well in the jawbone.
- People with Certain Health Problems, Like diabetes that isn’t under control, or people who have a hard time fighting infections.
- People with Not Enough Bone: If there’s not enough bone in the jaw, the implant can’t hold.
- People Who Don’t Like to Visit the Dentist Often: After getting an implant, you need to visit the dentist regularly to keep it and your mouth healthy.

Types of Dental Implants in Brisbane
Endosteal implants
They are placed into the jawbone
Subperiosteal implants
They are placed under the gum but above the jawbone.
Endosteal dental implants are more commonly used in Brisbane because they provide a stronger foundation for the replacement tooth, but subperiosteal implants may be recommended for patients with insufficient jawbone density.

Our dental implant process just south of the Brisbane CBD typically involves several steps:

Stages of Dental Implantation:
Implant Consultation, Assessment, Record Taking and Measurements
Most important is the dental implant consultation phase of your implant treatment to ensure the maximum success of the treatment. It may involve interviews with our dentists, health assessments, clinical examinations, photographs, diagnostic models, and X-rays to provide you with a comprehensive tooth implant treatment plan.
It is imperative that there is enough space for the Dental Implant done in Brisbane, therefore several types of diagnostic imaging & several X-rays may be required. Different types of imaging that may be required include Cone Beam CT (3-D X-Ray), periapical radiographs, and OPG.
Pre-Implant Treatment
A thorough scale & clean will be required. The health of the surrounding dental tissues is required for the success of the implant. This includes ensuring there is no soft or hard tissue disease such as decay and periodontal disease, and the presence of broken or infected teeth. For these reasons they need to be dealt with before dental implants are embarked upon and other preventative measures may need to be implemented.
Temporarily bonded teeth may need to be removed. Additionally, bone augmentation may be required to ensure sufficient bone for implant placement.
Surgical Placement of the Implant and Temporisation
The placement of the implant may be at the time of tooth removal or 10-16 weeks later, again depending upon the nature of the final restoration. The implant patient is placed under local anaesthesia. The prophylactic antibiotic cover is usually required. Depending upon the individual case, a temporary crown may or may not be placed.
If a two-stage procedure is decided upon, the implant will either be stitched around or covered by the gum. A second minor surgical procedure will then be performed 12-26 weeks later.
Implant Review and Maintenance
For the success of the implant and final restoration, it is imperative that they are reviewed. I review Dental Implants in Brisbane, scheduled for 2 weeks postoperatively. Also, I do regular implant check-ups need to be maintained.
After placement of the final restoration, I do a review is required 1 week after, then every three months for 12 months. Regular dental check-ups and cleaning need to be maintained for the life of the Implant to ensure success.

What is the price of dental implants in Brisbane?
Dental implant pricing in Brisbane varies greatly, with multiple factors affecting the final price.
- Your current oral health: Your dentist must ensure your mouth is healthy before they can place the implants. If you have any oral health issues such as gum disease, these must be addressed first, which can increase the overall cost.
- Preliminary procedures: You may need additional dental surgeries to prepare your mouth for the implants. These procedures could include tooth extraction or bone grafting, and they will increase the overall cost and the duration of the implant procedure.
- The number of implants: The more implants you need, the higher the total cost will be. However, having multiple implants placed simultaneously can reduce the cost per implant.
- Implant size and placement: The size of the implant, determined by the distance between your teeth and the amount of jawbone you have available, can affect the cost.
- Implant manufacturer: Different manufacturers may offer different prices for their implants. Some invest more in research and testing, leading to better quality but higher prices.
Regarding specific costs, a single tooth implant in Australia costs $1999 and could go up to $3999. The National Dental Fee Survey 2017 showed that the average cost for a single tooth implant was about $5,563 per tooth. Implant-retained dentures start at $12,000, while All-on-4 dental implants, which replace a full arch with just four implants, start at around $19,000 per jaw.
To help offset these costs, some health insurance providers offer coverage for dental implants, which are considered major dental work. However, these policies often have wait times and may limit the number of implants you can claim in a given period. Additionally, many dentists offer flexible payment plans, allowing patients to spread the cost of the implants over several weeks or months.
