Dental Implants Adelaide

Your teeth play a significant role in your self-confidence, so if one becomes damaged, painful, or missing, it can impact how we look, feel, and live our day-to-day lives.

Implants are a modern solution for replacing single or multiple teeth or an entire arch. Implants are also predictable and natural and can last a lifetime when cared for properly.

With over a decade of industry experience, we are committed to providing our Adelaide patients with a custom dentistry service. Our dental implant services are tailored to each of our patients and are one of the most rewarding treatments we perform at My Dentist.

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are a great way to restore missing teeth and alleviate the discomfort of cracked or broken teeth without the hassle of dentures.

Dental implants are made up of three parts. The first is a metal screw that gets implanted into the jaw. Over time, your bone grows around the screw, keeping the implant in place.

Next, what’s known as a connector is attached to the metal screw. From here, the crown is attached to the connector and is used to fill in the gap of your missing tooth, enhancing the look of your smile and immediately boosting your self-confidence.

What Is a Dental Implant Made of?

Dental implants comprise two parts; a titanium component (the screw), which replaces the tooth root in the jaw bone, and a tooth-coloured crown, which is screwed into the titanium component.

We are proud to offer the entire dental implant service in our clinic, providing you with a seamless, convenient, and stress-free dental experience.

Signs you may need a dental implant

Dental implants are an excellent solution for various dental concerns. However, we understand that the thought of dental implants can be daunting. With our Norwood dental team’s expertise and gentle nature, we will always ensure that your comfort comes first.

Here are some of the signs you may require a dental implant:

  • Cracked or broken teeth

  • Missing teeth

  • Loose-fitting dentures

The risk of delaying a dental implant service

If a tooth is missing for even a year without an implant, bone loss will occur, perhaps requiring additional procedures, including sinus lifts and bone transplants. If the gap is not fixed, the teeth that surround it may also shift.

FAQs About Dental Implants

What factors affect the cost of dental implants?

The cost of Dental Implants or Dental Implant Treatment depends on several variables, including:

  • The number of implants needed, and whether they replace a single tooth, a bridge, or a full-arch prosthesis.
  • The condition of your jawbone (bone quantity and quality)—if bone grafting or sinus lift is needed, that adds to the cost.
  • The complexity of the case (e.g. proximity to nerves, anatomical challenges).
  • The type and brand of implant system used (premium materials, warranty, manufacturer).
  • The need for extra diagnostic work (3D scans, CBCT imaging) and planning.
  • Any additional restorative work, such as custom abutments or crowns, and lab fees.
  • Surgeon/specialist fees, surgical facility costs, and follow-up appointments.

Because each patient’s situation is unique, we offer a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate after your initial assessment.

Do you offer All-on-4 dental implants?

Yes, we provide All-on-4 dental implant solutions for suitable candidates. The All-on-4 approach is a full-arch Dental Implant Procedure that uses four implants per arch to support a fixed prosthesis, often eliminating the need for extensive grafting. It is one of the advanced options available under our broader implant services. Our Dental Implants Specialists will assess if you are a good candidate for All-on-4 based on bone structure, oral health, and functional needs.

What payment options do you offer for dental implants?

We understand that dental surgery and implant work represents a significant investment — so we offer flexible payment options, such as:

  • Private health insurance claims (where applicable)
  • Payment plans (interest-free or low-interest instalments)
  • Part upfront / part on completion
  • Third-party medical finance providers

In your treatment consultation, we’ll go through all your payment choices transparently so you can make an informed decision.

How experienced is your team with dental implant procedures?

Our team comprises dentists who have undertaken formal implant training, along with Dental Implant Specialists (e.g. prosthodontists, oral surgeons) for complex cases. We maintain our skills via continuing professional development and stay current with industry standards set by AHPRA and the Dental Board. All procedures are carried out within the clinicians’ scope of practice, and we adhere to informed consent requirements and strict safety protocols.

What is post-op care after a dental implant surgery?

After your Dental Implant Procedure, we provide detailed post-operative instructions to support healing and reduce risk. Key points include:

  • Take prescribed or recommended analgesics and antibiotics, if any.
  • Apply gentle cold packs in the first 24 hours to reduce swelling.
  • Eat soft foods and avoid biting hard items near the surgical site.
  • Maintain good oral hygiene (soft brushing, gentle rinses) — but avoid disturbing the surgical area initially.
  • Attend follow-up reviews, but report any severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or signs of infection immediately.
  • Over time, care for your implants like natural teeth: regular cleanings, check-ups, and avoiding habits like smoking or heavy clenching, which may affect implant longevity.
