What Makes You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants may be a suitable option for individuals looking for alternatives to removable bridges or dentures. Many explore this option to improve eating, speech, or tooth replacement. You may be a suitable candidate if you relate to one or more of the following situations:
1 Missing One Tooth
2 Multiple Missing Teeth
3 Healthy Jawbone Volume
4 Stable General Health
LONG-TERM ADVANTAGES
The Value of Restoring Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Better Chewing and Speaking
Tooth loss can make eating or speaking more difficult and affect overall comfort. Implants may improve daily function by holding replacement teeth securely in place within the mouth.
Help Maintain Jawbone Volume
When teeth are lost, the jawbone can shrink over time. Implants may help maintain bone levels by mimicking the stimulation once provided by natural tooth roots.
Blend with Natural Teeth
Implants are made to hold custom-crafted teeth that blend naturally with your smile. Their design aims to enhance appearance without the need for removable prosthetics.

YOUR IMPLANT JOURNEY
Know What Happens During the Dental Implant Treatment
Dental Implant Consultation
The process begins with a consultation to assess your oral health and goals. This appointment allows your dentist to determine whether implants may be appropriate.
Treatment Planning
Your dentist will develop a tailored treatment plan using scans or impressions. This helps guide implant placement and confirms the approach is appropriate for your oral condition.
Implant Procedure Day
The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. You’ll receive aftercare instructions, and a healing period is usually needed before proceeding to the next stage of treatment.
Review and Maintenance
After healing, your dentist will review your progress and fit the final restoration. Long-term success depends on regular maintenance, including ongoing check-ups and consistent oral hygiene practices at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process of getting dental implants like?
Dental implants are placed over multiple appointments, usually spanning several months, depending on individual needs. Each stage plays a role in preparing the mouth, placing the implant, and restoring the missing tooth.
Below are the steps involved in the process:
- Comprehensive consultation and assessment:
Your dentist will review your medical and dental history. They will also examine your teeth, gums, and jawbone using imaging, such as X-rays or 3D scans, to evaluate whether implants are appropriate in your case. This information helps develop a personalised treatment plan. - Preparatory treatments (if required):
Procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts may be recommended when there isn’t enough bone volume in the jaw. These treatments aim to create suitable conditions for placing a stable implant. - Implant placement:
The implant post is placed into the jawbone during a surgical procedure performed under local anaesthesia. A healing cap is often added to protect the site and contour the gum during healing. - Healing and osseointegration:
Over the next few months, the surrounding bone gradually anchors the implant in place—a process known as osseointegration. This creates a firm foundation for the replacement tooth. - Abutment placement:
Once healing is complete, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. This piece links the implant with the final restoration.
Final crown or prosthesis placement: Depending on the number of teeth being replaced, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is created. The restoration is designed to blend in with your natural teeth in shape and colour.
How long does a dental implant procedure take?
In many cases, the surgical insertion of a titanium implant may take one to two hours per implant. However, this can vary depending on the clinical situation and complexity of the case.
Below are the factors that may influence the length of the dental implant procedure:
- Number of implants placed:
Placing more than one implant during the same visit, especially in different areas of the mouth, may increase the overall procedure time. - Location of the implant site:
Posterior (back) teeth or sites with limited access may require more time than the front teeth. - Bone condition:
An irregular bone shape or reduced bone volume may require additional time for implant positioning or bone preparation. - Additional procedures:
If tooth removal, bone grafting, or guided surgical techniques are performed simultaneously, the procedure may take longer. - Anaesthesia and preparation time:
The appointment length may vary depending on how quickly the anaesthesia takes effect and the surgical site is prepared.
Are dental implants painful during or after surgery?
Dental implant placement is generally well tolerated, and significant pain during the procedure is uncommon. Local anaesthesia and appropriate post-operative care reduce the likelihood of significant discomfort.
During the procedure:
- Numbness and pressure:
Local anaesthesia is used to numb the surgical site, so you are unlikely to feel pain. It’s common, however, to feel some pressure, movement, or vibrations as the implant is positioned. - Occasional discomfort:
In rare cases, some individuals may experience discomfort towards the end of the procedure as the anaesthesia starts to wear off. The dental team can respond promptly to manage this. - Awareness and relaxation:
Although you remain conscious during the dental implant procedure, the environment is usually calm. Sedation options may be available for patients who experience nervousness or anxiety.
After the procedure:
- Tenderness and swelling:
Mild to moderate tenderness, swelling, or bruising near the implant site is common. These symptoms often peak within the first 48 hours. - Dull aching or pressure:
Some individuals experience a throbbing or heavy sensation in the jaw, similar to post-extraction discomfort. - Managing discomfort:
Discomfort is often managed with over-the-counter medication. In some cases, your dentist may recommend additional pain relief based on your needs.
At our clinic, we provide clear guidance on what to expect before and after your dental surgery in Perth. Schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment and recovery.
Are there risks or complications associated with dental implants?
Like any surgical procedure, dental implant placement carries some risks. While complications are uncommon, it’s helpful to understand the potential issues that may occur during or after treatment.
The following are some known risks associated with dental implants:
- Infection at the implant site:
Bacteria can enter the area during or after surgery, leading to localised infection. This risk may be reduced with good oral hygiene and post-operative care. - Implant failure or lack of integration:
In some cases, the implant may not bond properly with the jawbone. Contributing factors may include reduced bone quality, smoking, or early loading of the implant. - Nerve irritation or injury:
If the implant is placed close to a nerve, it may cause numbness, tingling, or altered sensation in the lips, chin, or tongue. This is uncommon and often temporary, but it can persist in some situations. - Sinus complications (for upper implants):
Implants placed in the upper jaw may extend into the sinus cavity if there is limited bone height. In such cases, procedures like sinus lifts may be considered. - Allergic reaction (rare):
Some individuals may have a sensitivity to titanium dental implants. In these cases, ceramic alternatives, such as zirconia implants, may be considered.
What makes someone a poor candidate for dental implants?
Dental implants are not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, oral health issues, or lifestyle factors may increase the risk of complications or reduce the likelihood of long-term success.
Below are some common reasons why a person may not be an ideal candidate for implant treatment:
- Insufficient bone density:
If there is not enough bone in the jaw to stabilise the implant, procedures like bone grafting may be needed. In severe cases, bone loss may limit the feasibility of implant placement without additional support. - Uncontrolled medical conditions:
Health conditions, such as poorly managed diabetes or autoimmune disorders, can impair healing and may affect how well the implant integrates with the bone. - Active gum disease:
Unaddressed periodontal disease can compromise the tissues surrounding an implant, making treatment less predictable until the condition is managed. - Heavy smoking:
Tobacco use is associated with higher implant failure rates due to its impact on blood circulation and healing ability. - Bruxism (teeth grinding):
Chronic grinding or clenching can place excessive force on implants, potentially leading to instability or damage over time. - Poor oral hygiene habits:
A history of inconsistent dental care or poor plaque control can raise the risk of gum inflammation and peri-implant disease.
If you’re considering dental implants in Perth, we’ll begin with a comprehensive dental and medical assessment. This helps determine suitability and whether any additional steps are needed.
Can I get dental implants if I have missing or decayed teeth?
Dental implants are commonly used to replace missing teeth or teeth that are too damaged to restore. However, the condition of your gums, bone, and overall oral health will influence whether implant treatment is appropriate.
- Missing teeth:
If a tooth has already been lost, an implant may be placed after evaluating the site for bone volume and gum health. In some cases, bone grafting may be required if there has been bone loss over time. - Decayed teeth:
When a tooth cannot be restored, it may be extracted and later replaced with an implant. In some situations, the implant may be placed during the same appointment as the extraction. This depends on factors like bone health and the presence of an infection.
To determine if implants are suitable in such cases, a thorough assessment is carried out at our dental implant clinic in Perth. This includes imaging and a review of your oral and medical health to determine if any preparatory procedures are necessary.
Do dental implants look and feel like natural teeth?
Dental implants are designed to replicate the look and function of natural teeth. Many people find that they blend in well with their smile and feel comfortable in everyday use.
Here are some ways implants resemble natural teeth:
- Natural appearance:
The crown is custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your nearby teeth, resulting in a natural and seamless appearance. - Tooth-like feel:
Since implants are anchored in the jaw, they feel stable during biting, chewing, and speaking, similar to natural teeth. - No movement or slipping:
Implants stay in place and do not shift during eating or talking, unlike removable dentures. - Gum line integration:
In many cases, the gum tissue contours around the crown, creating a lifelike appearance at the gum line. - Balanced bite and function:
Implants can help restore chewing strength and bite alignment, supporting comfortable speech and eating.
How long do dental implants typically last?
Dental implants are a long-term missing teeth replacement option. The lifespan of dental implants varies between individuals. With proper care, the implant post may remain functional for many years, sometimes up to 20. Meanwhile, the attached restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) may need replacement after approximately 5-15 years.
Several factors can influence their longevity:
- Oral hygiene habits:
Daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits help reduce the risk of gum inflammation and implant-related complications. - Bite pressure and grinding:
Excessive biting forces or teeth grinding (bruxism) can place strain on the implant or attached restoration, potentially leading to wear or damage. - Smoking and general health:
Tobacco use and certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, may affect healing and increase the risk of implant complications over time. - Placement site and bone quality:
Implants in areas with greater chewing pressure, such as the back molars, may experience more wear than those placed in lower-stress locations. - Professional maintenance:
Regular professional cleaning and monitoring enable the early detection of issues, which may contribute to a longer implant lifespan.
What are the benefits of choosing dental implants over dentures or bridges?
Dental implants are one of several options for replacing missing teeth, offering specific advantages in certain clinical situations.
Here are some reasons people consider them instead of dentures or bridges:
- Stability and comfort:
Implants are supported by the jawbone, which helps them remain stable during eating and speaking, unlike removable dentures that may shift. - Preservation of bone:
One of the key benefits of dental implants is their ability to stimulate the jawbone, much like natural tooth roots. Unlike dentures or bridges, which do not engage the bone in the same way, implants may help slow or reduce bone loss over time. - No impact on surrounding teeth:
Implants are self-supporting and do not rely on neighbouring teeth. Unlike bridges, they don’t require nearby healthy teeth to be trimmed or altered. - Natural appearance and function:
Implants are intended to look and function much like natural teeth, without visible clasps or movement. - Long-term durability:
With ongoing care, implant posts may remain in place for 20 years. Meanwhile, dentures and bridges usually need replacement or adjustment sooner. - Comfort in daily life:
The stable fit and natural appearance of implants may help improve comfort when smiling, speaking, or eating.
What is the recovery period like after dental implant surgery?
Recovery after dental implant surgery varies between individuals but generally follows a predictable pattern. Many people return to routine activities within a few days, although full healing takes place over several months.
Here’s what to expect:
- First 24–48 hours:
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness near the implant site is common. Soft foods and rest are often recommended during this early stage. - First week:
Discomfort generally improves within a few days, though individual dental implant recovery times may vary. Stitches may dissolve naturally or be removed during a follow-up visit. - Three to six months:
The implant bonds with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. During this time, follow-up appointments are used to check progress. A temporary crown, healing cap, or cover screw may be placed until the final restoration is ready.
Healing may be influenced by the number of implants placed, the need for bone grafting, general health, and how the body responds to treatment. Your dentist will provide aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.
Can I get a dental implant immediately after tooth extraction?
In some cases, a dental implant may be placed during the same appointment as a tooth extraction. This is known as immediate implant placement and is only considered when specific clinical conditions are met.
The following factors are usually assessed before deciding on this approach:
- Bone quality and volume:
There must be sufficient healthy bone at the extraction site to provide initial stability for the implant. If the bone is thin, damaged, or insufficient, additional procedures may be required first. - Absence of infection:
The area should be free from active infection to reduce the risk of complications and promote favourable healing conditions. - Location of the tooth:
Implants in front teeth may be more suitable for immediate placement due to bone structure and lower biting forces. Molars often require additional healing time. - Gum and tissue health:
Healthy gum tissue may improve outcomes. If there is inflammation or tissue loss, delayed placement may be a more suitable option. - Patient health and habits:
Factors like smoking or certain medical conditions can affect healing and may influence the timing of implant placement.
A dental assessment, including imaging, is usually used to evaluate whether immediate placement is suitable.
Is there an age limit for getting dental implants?
Dental implants may be suitable for adults of various ages. Rather than focusing on age itself, dentists assess whether each patient has the right conditions for successful treatment.
- In younger patients:
Implants are usually delayed until jaw growth is complete. Placing an implant too early may affect its position as the jaw continues to develop. - In older adults:
Implants can be placed later in life if health and bone conditions are suitable. Research has shown high long-term success rates in older individuals.
Below are the key considerations for all ages:
- Jawbone quality and volume:
A certain amount of bone is needed to hold the implant securely. If bone has been lost, grafting may be recommended before treatment. - Presence of gum disease or infection:
Active gum disease or infection near the implant site must usually be addressed first, as it can interfere with healing and implant stability. - Medical conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis:
Conditions that affect healing or bone health may influence the planning or timing of treatment. - Commitment to long-term oral hygiene:
Ongoing care like brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups helps reduce the risk of complications over time.
What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?
Leaving a gap after losing a tooth can affect both your oral health and daily function. While the impact may not be immediate, several changes can occur over time if the space is not restored.
Here are some of the possible consequences of not replacing a missing tooth:
- Shifting of nearby teeth:
Adjacent teeth may move into the space over time, affecting your bite and alignment. This can make chewing less efficient and complicate future dental treatment. - Bone loss in the jaw:
Without a tooth root to stimulate it, the jawbone in the area can shrink. This process, known as bone resorption, may change facial shape and affect future treatment options. - Chewing and speech changes:
Losing teeth—especially back molars or front teeth—can affect your ability to chew certain foods or pronounce some words clearly. - Risk of gum and bite problems:
When teeth shift into the gap, bite misalignment may occur, which can lead to jaw discomfort or uneven tooth wear. Gaps can also be harder to clean, increasing the risk of gum inflammation.
