Dental Implants
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a biocompatible post which is made out of Titanium or in some cases a special form of Ceramic material that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. The body then accepts it as the root of a tooth. On top of this post, a dental crown, bridge or a denture can be attached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are screw-like structures, typically made from titanium, designed to replace the roots of missing tooth. These precision-engineered devices provide a stable foundation for attaching dental crowns, allowing the restored tooth to function similarly to a natural tooth.
Recovery times can vary, but most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours following surgery. Complete healing and integration of the implant with the bone, a process known as osseointegration, typically takes several months.
While dental implants are an investment, they have become more affordable and accessible over time. Given the complexity and quality of materials used, such as titanium and advanced dental hardware, the cost is justified. Although they are in the higher price bracket for dental services, their longevity and functionality offer significant value. In situations that funding your dental treatment becomes prohibitive you also have the option of accessing your Superannuation for early release to fund your crucial dental treatments such as implants. Our team members at Bundall Dental are more than happy to discuss that option with you.
Many patients are pleasantly surprised by the minimal discomfort experienced during and after the dental implant procedure. While the anticipation of pain is common, most report little to no pain post-operatively.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, damage to surrounding teeth or nerves, and implant failure. A dentist can help you make an informed decision about these risks.
