An implant is placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or teeth. A single-tooth restoration usually includes the implant, a connecting component and a crown. Other designs may support a bridge or a full arch of replacement teeth.
Your dentist will explain which arrangement may be appropriate and how it compares with a conventional bridge or removable denture.
New and existing patients can request a free implant consultation at Parramatta Dentistry | Cosmetique Dental. Call (02) 8090 1109 to arrange a visit to our Hunter Street practice.
The total depends on the number of implants, the restoration, imaging and any extra procedures. We will explain a personalised written estimate, including any separately charged stages, so you can review the full plan.
Humm payment plans are available through an external provider, subject to eligibility, approval, fees and terms.
The free consultation may include scans, photographs and X-rays where clinically necessary. Treatment and any later procedures are quoted separately.
Your written plan should explain the implant, connecting component, crown or other restoration, imaging and review arrangements. Extractions, bone or soft-tissue grafting and specialist treatment may be separate charges.
If your case needs specialist input, your dentist will discuss a referral. Ask who will perform each stage and where it would take place before you choose treatment.
A dental implant can support a replacement tooth or teeth without using neighbouring teeth as supports in some designs. It is one option to compare with a bridge or denture.
The potential benefits depend on your mouth and restoration. Surgery, healing, ongoing cleaning and possible future repairs are part of the decision.
An implant is not the only option for a missing tooth. Your dentist will assess the gap, surrounding teeth and bite before discussing suitable choices.
Ask how an implant compares with a bridge, removable denture or monitoring the space in your circumstances.
An assessment considers gum health, the available bone, your bite and any remaining teeth. Your medical history, medicines and smoking can influence healing and treatment planning.
Some patients need dental care or bone grafting before an implant can be considered. Others may be better suited to a different replacement. If specialist assessment is needed, we will discuss a referral and explain the next step.
Implants and their restorations use different materials and components. Your clinician will explain the system proposed for your case, including the implant, connection and replacement tooth.
Implant treatment usually involves several appointments and a period of healing. Your individual plan may change if grafting, tooth removal or additional care is required.
The crown or other restoration is planned to fit the implant and your bite. Discuss the proposed shade, shape and practical limitations, including the temporary and final stages.
Soreness, swelling or bruising can occur after surgery. Your treating clinician will explain aftercare, any changes to eating or cleaning, and when to seek advice.
Risks include infection, damage to nearby teeth or nerves, sinus complications and an implant failing to integrate or remaining loose. Further treatment may be required. Ask how the risks apply to your case rather than relying on a general success percentage.
Implants need cleaning and professional review. Gum and bone problems can develop around an implant, and the crown or other components may require maintenance or replacement.
Before treatment, ask how to clean the proposed restoration, what follow-up is recommended and which future costs you should allow for.
You can discuss a bridge, denture or other appropriate approach. Your dentist will explain the likely effects of leaving the space and whether monitoring is suitable.
Ask about the benefits, risks, maintenance and costs of each option so you can make an informed decision.
