Dental Implants in
Brisbane CBD
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an advanced option for tooth replacement, available to you at Brisbane CBD Dental Clinic. With good home care and professional maintenance, implants may last many years. The advantages of this option include:
- A completely natural look and function
- Can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth or all of your teeth
- Doesn’t negatively affect the health of your other teeth
- Is easily maintained with regular brushing and flossing
- A widely used option when placed by appropriately qualified practitioners
What to Expect in Getting a Dental Implant
Once you have decided to get a dental implant, the care is completed within two separate stages.
You’ll be referred to a specialist periodontist or oral surgeon to have the implant placed. This surgery is completed while you’re under local anaesthetic, to help keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone, and a healing period of approximately 10 to 12 weeks is necessary to support integration with your bone. During this time, a healing cap is placed to protect the implant site.
For straightforward cases, Dr Tom Park (Dentist) may perform the implant placement. He has completed advanced implant training at the University of Melbourne, undertaking a full year of specialised study. More complex cases, such as those near the sinus floor or in the aesthetic zone, are referred to specialists to support the best possible result for your situation.
After the healing period is complete, you’ll return to our clinic. We use advanced 3D digital scanning technology (Trios) to capture precise measurements of the implant position, angulation, and relationship to surrounding teeth. This helps us design a custom crown that’s made to suit your bite and smile.
The prosthetic stage is typically straightforward, and comfort levels can vary from person to person. Within two to three weeks, your custom crown will be ready and permanently attached to the implant. This final restoration completes your care.
Investment and Payment Options
The total investment for a dental implant typically ranges from 6,500 to 7,000 dollars. This includes the specialist surgical fee (approximately 3,000 to 3,500 dollars) and our crown restoration fee (3,334 dollars). The surgical fee may vary depending on complexity and whether bone grafting is required.
We understand this is a significant investment and offer payment plan options through Zip Pay to help make care more accessible (subject to approval and provider terms, fees and charges may apply).
Is a Dental Implant
Right for You?
While dental implants are suitable for many patients, certain conditions may affect healing. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate factors that could impact healing and integration:
- Uncontrolled diabetes or periodontal disease may compromise healing
- Smoking and vaping can reduce blood flow and affect recovery
- Certain osteoporosis medications (bisphosphonates) require careful timing considerations
These factors don’t necessarily prevent implant care, but they do require careful assessment and management to support your best possible outcome.
Keeping Your Dental Implant Healthy
Now that you have your implant, you can brush, floss and have regular checkups to help keep your dental implant healthy, just like the rest of your teeth. Though your implant won’t get a cavity or discolour like a natural tooth, the gum around it can still develop gum disease. That’s why it’s essential that you treat it as a natural tooth with proper brushing and flossing techniques, along with regular professional maintenance.
Implant Consultations
We can assess your suitability for dental implants during your regular checkup and clean appointment, as it’s important to evaluate your overall oral health. Alternatively, we can arrange a specific consultation to discuss your implant options and answer your questions about the procedure, timeline, and investment involved.
