Implants are an effective form of replacing missing teeth. Book a dental consultation in our Sydney CBD dental practice now, and Dr Eric Klein at Sydney Lifelong Dental will provide you with all details in how dental implants are a superior alternative to dentures and even dental bridges.

A titanium fixture is surgically implanted into the jawbone. Once healed, a tooth can be attached to the implant thus replacing the missing tooth. The advantage of implants is that surrounding teeth are unaffected and being anchored in the bone, the tooth is extremely strong. Without doubt, implants are the future of restorative dentistry, being a superior alternative to dentures and even bridges.

Dr Klein is an accredited member of ASID (Australian Society of Implant Dentistry) and has placed and restored hundreds of implants.

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It’s placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time. Once healed, a crown is placed on top to restore the look and feel of your natural tooth. The result is a stable, long-term solution that looks completely natural and functions just like the real thing.

At Sydney Lifelong Dental, we offer Sydney CBD dental implants to patients looking for a durable and reliable way to replace missing teeth. Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even support full-arch restorations.

From our case notes

John had been missing his front tooth since an accident as a teenager. Despite limited bone at the implant site we were able to replace his front tooth using a standard dental implant. He is smiling at last after years without a front tooth.

Why choose dental implants?

There are a few reasons why more and more people are choosing Sydney dental implants.

First, implants are fixed in place. That means no movement or discomfort. Once healed, they feel just like a natural tooth. You’ll be able to bite, chew, and smile without giving it a second thought.

Second, implants support the jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the bone underneath begins to shrink. Dental implants help preserve that bone and maintain the shape of your face over time.

 Unlike a dental bridge, implants don’t rely on the surrounding teeth for support. That means we don’t need to prepare or reduce neighbouring teeth, which helps preserve your natural tooth structure.

They’re also easy to care for. Brush and floss as you normally would, and your implant should last for many years.

Are you a good candidate?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, our Sydney CBD dentist, Dr Klein, will assess your oral and general health to determine if implants are suitable for you. Ideal candidates typically:

• Have healthy gums and good oral hygiene
• Have sufficient bone density to support the implant
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit before and during healing
• Do not have uncontrolled medical conditions (such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders)

Even if you have experienced bone loss, options such as bone grafting may still make Sydney CBD dental implants possible. Dr Eric Klein will walk you through all available options and create a personalised plan for treatment.

 The implant process

At Sydney Lifelong Dental, we make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial consultation
   You’ll meet with our dentist, Dr Klein, for a full examination and X-rays. We’ll discuss your goals, review your health, and determine the best treatment plan.
2. Implant placement
   Under local anaesthesia, a small titanium fixture is surgically placed into your jawbone. Healing typically takes 3 to 6 months, during which the implant bonds with your bone.
3. Crown attachment
   Once healed, we attach a custom-made porcelain crown to the implant. This crown is colour-matched and shaped to blend in with your natural teeth.
4. Ongoing care
   We’ll provide you with care instructions and regular check-ups to ensure your implant stays healthy and secure for many years to come.
