What is A Dental Implant?
Dental implants are cutting-edge solutions for replacing teeth or filling spaces of missing teeth. This highly effective dental practice involves placing small titanium fixtures, acting as tooth roots, directly into the jawbone. Over time, these implants fuse with the bone tissue and create a base for prostheses to attach to, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Who Would Need Dental Implants?
People who may need dental implants can be those who’ve lost one or more teeth for various reasons, including injuries, decay, or periodontal disease. The implants are a robust, long-term installation that provides a natural look, comfortable fit, and improved oral function for years. A good candidate for dental implants should have a decent bone density, good health, and a commitment to maintaining good oral hygiene habits.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
When a dental implant is required, it can lead to a range of benefits that can improve the health of a person in many different aspects that they may be lacking with their current oral state. Some benefits can include:
- Restoring full chewing & digestion abilities
- A natural oral appearance
- Prevention of bone loss
- Supporting other teeth in the mouth
- Permanent dental solution
- Enables clearer speech
- Easy to maintain
- Boost self-confidence
- Limits facial sagging
YV’s Dental Implant Process
The Initial Dental Implant Consult
In your first dental implant consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth, assess your health, photograph your current smile, and scan your mouth. The dentist will run your scans through our software to recreate a digital 3D image of your mouth and show you how our implants can correct it. After reviewing the imaging and discussing your tailored implant treatment plan, the dentist will answer any questions to ensure you are comfortable.
The Implant Procedure
Once you are happy and approve of your treatment plan, we can go ahead with the implant procedure. We want you to be as comfortable as possible, so we provide local anaesthetic, music, and anything else to keep you comfortable during your treatment. Our dentists administer numbing solutions to make the procedure painless. An implant is swiftly embedded generally within half an hour.
Healing & Recovery
Depending on various factors, recovery from a dental implant can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. Everyone’s recovery journey is different, and we will support you every step of the way.
Your Follow-up Appointment
After your mouth is healed and you are feeling better, your dentist will assess the security of your implant and begin the design process for the implant’s supporting cap.
Implant Maintenance
At this stage, you should be able to live your life fully with your new set of teeth. Enjoy your fresh smile! Regular dental care for your teeth and implants is essential for ensuring your oral health is optimally maintained.
Payment Options for Dental Implants
We accept Eftpos, cash, most major Credit Cards, and AfterPay. We also accept patients from the Department of Veteran Affairs, and The National Dental Plan. YV Dental is a registered HICAPS provider, meaning that insured patients can get their claims sorted on the spot for any health fund.

Your Questions Answered
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last for your life with regular maintenance and proper care. In some cases, particular health concerns may reduce the longevity of the anchoring implant; however, our dentists will discuss this with you if your health isn’t adequate for an implant.
How long do you go without teeth when getting implants?
The process of getting implants can be lengthy, but you won’t be left with noticeable gaps. During the healing process after the initial implant placement, temporary dentures or bridges can be used to keep the function of your teeth relatively uninterrupted.
How painful is getting a dental implant?
Our dentists do everything to make the dental implant procedure as painless as possible. We use a local anaesthetic to numb the implant site completely. If you are anxious about the procedure or wish to be asleep, we can offer IV Sedation.
Are dental implants as good as real teeth?
Dental implants can be just as effective as your natural teeth. Their personalised design means they can blend seamlessly with your mouth’s natural look and feel. Implants are sturdy, secure, and a fantastic choice for people needing to replace missing teeth.
