Dental Implants

Dental Implants at Yeronga Smile Dental

What are dental implants and how do they work? Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, restoring both function and appearance.

If you’ve been searching for trusted providers of dental implants in Brisbane, Yeronga Smile Dental offers experienced care and tailored solutions to restore your smile with confidence.

Who is a candidate for dental implants? 

Most adults with good general and oral health are suitable candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates:

  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Have healthy gums and adequate bone density
  • Are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking during the healing period
  • Are looking for a stable, long-term solution rather than removable dentures

We’ll assess your health, jaw structure, and lifestyle during your consultation to determine if implants are right for you.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

  • Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
  • Help prevent bone loss in the jaw
  • Maintain facial structure and appearance
  • Restore chewing ability and confidence
  • Do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support

Dental implants are considered one of the most reliable and effective solutions in modern dentistry.

What’s involved in the dental implant process? 

The implant process typically involves several stages:

  1. Consultation and planning: We assess your oral health, take X-rays or 3D scans, and discuss your goals.
  2. Implant placement: A small titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthetic.
  3. Healing period: Over several months, the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
  4. Restoration: Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top for a natural look and feel.

We work closely with trusted specialists when needed to ensure the highest standard of care

Is the procedure painful? 

Most patients report minimal discomfort. The procedure is typically done under local anaesthetic, and post-operative symptoms like swelling or tenderness are manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll guide you through every step and ensure you’re comfortable throughout.

How long do dental implants last? 

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last many years — often 15 years or longer. They’re a long-term investment in your oral health and quality of life.

How do I care for my dental implants? 

Dental implants are easy to care for — just like natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental visits. Avoid smoking and maintain a balanced diet to support healing and long-term success.

Can dental implants replace multiple teeth? 

Yes. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth with an implant-supported bridge, or a full arch using implant-retained dentures. We’ll create a treatment plan that matches your needs and goals.

Are dental implants covered by health insurance? 

Some private health funds may offer benefits for parts of the implant process, such as surgical placement or the final restoration. We’ll provide a full quote and assist you in understanding your entitlements and payment options.
