A dental implant is a fixture placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, usually a crown. Implants can also support bridges or full-arch replacement teeth in suitable cases.
At Sydney Dental Veneers | Cosmetique Dental, we assess your gums, available bone, bite and medical history before recommending an option for a missing tooth.
A single implant can replace a missing tooth without using adjacent teeth to support a conventional bridge. However, treatment involves surgery, healing and ongoing maintenance, and may not suit everyone.
Book a complimentary cosmetic consultation to compare dental implants with bridges, dentures or other appropriate care. Your dentist will explain likely benefits, risks and costs for your circumstances.
The $5,199 basic package includes a CBCT scan, implant surgery and a CEREC crown. Bone grafting, gum surgery and other rehabilitation cost extra. Simple bone grafting at implant surgery is an additional $300; a laboratory-made crown also carries an additional fee. Your written quote will confirm the recommended care.
New and existing patients considering dental implants are eligible for a complimentary consultation with a cosmetic dentist, including scans, photographs and X-rays where clinically necessary. The five-year limited implant warranty requires uninterrupted six-monthly check-ups and cleans at a Cosmetique Sydney practice. These implant reviews are $199 per visit without insurance; ask for the full written coverage and exclusions. Fees and eligibility are confirmed before treatment.

Dental implants can support replacement teeth when your oral health and available bone are suitable. They need daily cleaning, professional maintenance and long-term review.
Depending on your clinical needs, possible benefits include:
An implant may be considered when a tooth is missing or cannot be retained. It is one of several replacement options, alongside a bridge or denture.
Your dentist will assess the gap, neighbouring teeth and bite before explaining appropriate choices. Keeping a natural tooth may be preferable where it can be treated predictably.
If an implant is recommended, your dentist will explain the fixture placed in the jawbone, the restoration it will support, and the surgery, healing and maintenance involved.
Suitability depends on your gum health, jawbone, bite, medical history, medicines and factors such as smoking. Some patients need preparatory care or referral. A complimentary cosmetic consultation is an opportunity to discuss these factors and whether further assessment is needed.
Many dental implants are made from titanium or a titanium alloy. Your dentist will explain the proposed implant system, restoration material and why they are appropriate for your treatment.
Implant treatment usually involves several appointments and a healing period. Timing depends on your bone, the implant site and whether additional procedures are needed.
The visible replacement tooth is a custom crown designed to fit your implant and complement nearby teeth. CEREC technology can support its design and manufacture in appropriate cases. Your dentist will explain the crown material, appointments and package inclusions; the whole implant process is not a single-visit treatment.
Soreness, swelling, bruising or minor bleeding can occur after surgery, and healing varies. Your dentist will provide instructions and explain when to contact the practice. Risks include infection, implant failure and, depending on the site, nerve injury or sinus complications.
Once restored, your implant needs daily cleaning and professional review. The surrounding gum and bone can develop disease, and parts of the restoration may need maintenance or replacement.
You can discuss a bridge, removable denture, monitoring the space or another suitable option. The effects of leaving a gap depend on its location, your bite and oral health.
Bone and tooth positions can change over time, which may affect future implant options. Your dentist can explain these possibilities without requiring you to proceed.
