A dental implant is a screw like titanium fixture used as an artificial replacement of tooth roots that is embedded into the jaw bone. By attaching and fusing with the jawbone and gums, they are able to provide a solid foundation for artificial replacement of teeth, including bridges, supporting dentures and most commonly crowns.
When a tooth is removed, the gap in the jaw can limit one’s chewing ability. To further complicate the issues, the adjacent teeth and opposing tooth can grow into the missing tooth’s space, messing up the occlusion altogether.
A dental implant is a restoration designed to replace the missing tooth without any damage to the adjacent teeth. It consists of a medical grade titanium alloy fixture embedded in the jaw bone, with a dental crown fitted on top of it. It mimics the aesthetic and function of the natural tooth.
For whatever your reason that your tooth is loss, consult with your dentist whether dental implant is suitable for you. In suitable candidates, this procedure can also be used to also replace a whole arch of missing teeth. No more loose dentures.

Because every case is different, consultation prior to treatment is required (at standard consultation fee) to determine if your case is eligible for this special. For example, major bone graft cases need collaboration with specialists, but for most basic implant cases involving up to 3 implants, this special is likely to apply.
A single dental implant with a CEREC crown at North Ryde Dentistry starts from $5,500 per tooth. The fee depends on your case; bone grafting, extractions or a 3D scan, if needed, are quoted separately before they are carried out. Prices current at October 2026 and may change.

The recovery time for implants will depend on a range of factors including your medical and dental history, the condition of your jaw bone, how many implants are placed and if you required a gum / bone graft. Your circumstances will dictate the recovery time and could last for a few days to a couple of weeks, but it is normal if you have bruising, some minor pain, swelling and bleeding afterwards.
After completion of your dental implant, it is advised to care for your implant just like your natural teeth by brushing and flossing regularly, and having regular dental checkup. Implants are susceptible to gum disease like natural teeth, by having regular professional checkup and cleans your Dentist or Oral Health Therapist is able to help you maintain your implant.
It is always best to plan ahead if you are thinking of having a tooth removed or had a tooth removed. The delay of treatment can lead to bone loss around the potential site for the implant to be placed.
Those who have experienced bone lost may require bone grafts that may increase the cost and expected healing time. Bone loss of the jaw can lead to instability of the remaining teeth around the site and potentially impact your bite.
