You can rest assured that we have your best interests at heart and are committed to ensuring your teeth implants go smoothly, free from pain and anxiety.
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
A dental implant (or teeth implant) is a technique used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. The dental implant procedure involves minor surgery to place one or more titanium screws into the jaw. The jawbone will then grow around the implants, forming a strong, unbreakable bond.
A porcelain or ceramic crown or bridge will then be fitted to the implant, which will look and feel like natural teeth, and should last for many years with good care.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants have many advantages over the alternatives of an unsupported bridge or dentures, which is why we recommend them for most patients. These benefits include:
- Improved comfort – stabilised implants avoid the rubbing and irritation of dentures, and you won't have to worry about your teeth slipping or clicking
- Improved speech – implants function like natural teeth, so you won't have to learn to adjust like with dentures
- Don't affect your diet – stronger biting forces mean you don't have to give up favourite foods and their taste won't be impaired
- Long-term replacement – dental implants can last a lifetime, but the bridge or denture attached may need to be replaced after a number of years
- High success rate – the dental implant procedure is more predictable than other methods of replacing teeth
- Preserving your teeth – replacing a tooth with implants doesn't require grinding down the surrounding teeth, as required for a conventional bridge
- Preserving your jaw – titanium is a biocompatible material that supports the jaw bone, preventing jaw shrinking and the sunken appearance that can come with missing teeth
Why choose dental implants?
Dental implants are the most versatile option for replacing teeth that are missing or too badly damaged or decayed to repair. They can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or all of your upper and/ow lower teeth to restore your smile and improve your quality of life. They can also provide support for dentures.
Our dentists in Balmain will examine your mouth and your medical history to let you know if you’re a candidate for dental implants or an alternative treatment. We’ll make sure you have all the information you need to make fully informed decisions.
Payment Plans
At Dentistry By Design, we understand that some patients prefer to pay off their Dental Implants with a payment plan. We offer interest free payment plans to eligible patients.

Dental implants FAQ
The dental implant procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during your treatment. Any pain or swelling afterwards can be managed by taking over-the-counter medication. We know that many people feel nervous about dental treatments, and we offer a choice of sedation options if you need more pain relief or help to feel calm.
Dental implants provided by our qualified and experienced Balmain dentists have a very high success rate. Complications are rare, but may include infection of the implant site, damage to surrounding structures, or sinus problems for implants in the upper jaw. We’ll make sure you understand the possible risks and the steps we take to avoid them.
Dental implants cost more than the alternatives, as you are investing in a high-quality smile that can last a lifetime. We’re transparent about our prices and offer a choice of finance options to help make the cost more manageable.
