Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect more than your appearance—they can also impact how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. At Aspiring Smiles Dental, we offer high-quality dental implants in Ashgrove, providing a secure, natural-looking, and long-lasting solution for replacing one or more missing teeth.
Dental implants restore your smile’s function, aesthetics, and confidence—so you can live, laugh, and eat with ease again.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), it provides a stable foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or even a full denture.
The result? A natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement that feels just like your own.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have healthy gums and adequate bone structure
- Are in good general health
- Are looking for a long-term alternative to bridges or dentures
We’ll assess your oral and medical health during your consultation to confirm the best course of action.
What to Expect During a Dental Implant Visit:
At Aspiring Smiles Dental, your comfort and confidence are our priorities. Here’s what you can expect on your dental implant journey:
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive assessment, including X-rays and scans, to evaluate your suitability for dental implants and plan your treatment with precision.
- Treatment Planning: Based on your oral health and goals, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan. This includes the number of implants required, expected timeline, and any preparatory procedures such as bone grafting if needed.
- Implant Placement: The dental implant is gently placed into your jawbone under local anaesthetic or sedation. Once placed, the implant is left to heal and integrate with the bone over several weeks.
- Restoration Phase: After successful healing, we attach a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture to your implant. This restores the full appearance and function of your missing tooth.
- Ongoing Support: We’ll provide detailed care instructions and schedule regular check-ups to ensure your implant remains healthy, strong, and secure long-term.
