    Dental Implants in Tamworth

    A fixed, long-term way to replace missing teeth

    Implants replace the tooth root as well as the crown

    When you lose a tooth, you lose the visible crown everyone sees, but you also lose the tooth root that was anchored in your jawbone. Without the stimulation that a tooth root provides, the surrounding jawbone begins to shrink in a process called resorption. Over time, this bone loss can change the shape of your face and cause adjacent teeth to drift.

    Traditional tooth replacement options like dentures and bridges sit on top of the gums or rely on neighbouring teeth for support. They restore your smile's appearance, but they don't replace the root. A dental implant replaces both the visible tooth and the root beneath it.

    At Oasis Smiles Dental, near Northgate Shopping Centre in Tamworth, we provide implant treatment from the first consultation through to your final crown or denture, using CBCT 3D imaging to plan each implant.

    Ways Implants Can Replace Missing Teeth

    Single tooth implant

    One implant and a custom crown replace one missing tooth, root to crown, without touching the teeth either side.

    About dental crowns

    Implant-retained dentures

    A small number of implants act as anchors for a full denture that clips firmly into place, so it doesn't slip when you eat or speak.

    Alternatives to implants

    If implants don't suit you, a bridge or a denture can also replace missing teeth. We'll compare the options with you.

    The Dental Implant Process

    Implant treatment happens in stages over several months, mostly while the implant heals.

    1. 1

      Consultation and CBCT 3D scan

      We examine your mouth, talk about your goals and take a CBCT 3D image to see the bone where the implant would go.

    2. 2

      Your treatment plan and quote

      We use the 3D image to plan the implant position, explain each stage and give you a quote. If you need bone grafting first, we coordinate it as part of your plan.

    3. 3

      Implant placement

      The titanium implant is placed in the jawbone, where it acts as a new tooth root.

    4. 4

      Healing

      Over the following months the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration), creating a stable foundation.

    5. 5

      Your new tooth

      An abutment connects the implant to a custom-made crown matched to your natural teeth.

    6. 6

      Ongoing care

      Brush, floss and keep up your regular check-ups and cleans, the same as for natural teeth.

    Are Dental Implants Right for You?

    Implants may suit you if:

    • You have one or more missing teeth, or a tooth that needs to be removed
    • Your gums are healthy, or gum disease has been treated first
    • There is enough jawbone to hold the implant, or bone grafting can build it up
    • You're willing to keep up good oral hygiene and regular check-ups

    Smoking and some medical conditions can affect healing. We'll go through your health history and your 3D scan with you before recommending an implant.

    Advantages of Dental Implants

    Stable and Fixed

    An implant is anchored in the jawbone, so it won't slip or shift like a removable denture.

    Helps Preserve Jawbone

    The implant stimulates the jawbone, which helps limit the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.

    Natural Look and Feel

    A custom crown is matched to the colour, shape and size of your natural teeth.

    Protects Adjacent Teeth

    Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require altering neighbouring healthy teeth.

    Dental Implant Cost and Payment Plans

    The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether bone grafting is needed, and the crown or denture that goes on the implant. We give you a quote after your consultation and CBCT 3D scan, so you know the cost of each stage before you decide.

    You don't have to pay it all at once. For example, a DentiCare plan can spread up to $24,000 over 3 to 24 months interest-free (account fees apply, no credit check), and Humm plans run from $1 to $30,000 with weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments, subject to approval.

    Access My Super

    You may be eligible to release superannuation for dental implants.

    Health funds

    If your extras cover includes major dental, we can process your claim on the spot with HICAPS.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The cost of a dental implant depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether you need bone grafting first, and the type of crown or denture that goes on the implant. Because every case is different, we don't quote a single figure online. After your consultation and CBCT 3D scan we give you a quote for your treatment, and you can spread the cost with DentiCare or Humm, or apply to use your super through Access My Super. Call (02) 6766 2668 to book.

    For many people they are, because an implant replaces the whole tooth, root to crown, without altering the neighbouring teeth, and with good care it can last for many years. Implants aren't right for everyone, and a bridge or denture can cost less up front. We'll explain the pros and cons of each option for your situation so you can decide.

    Most adults with a missing tooth can be assessed for an implant. Healthy gums and enough jawbone to support the implant are important. If you've lost bone, grafting may be possible first. Smoking and some health conditions can affect healing, so we'll go through your medical history at your consultation.

    A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. Over the following months it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong, stable foundation. An abutment then connects the implant to a custom-made crown matched to your natural teeth.

    Bridges and dentures sit on the gums or rely on neighbouring teeth, so they don't replace the tooth root or help prevent bone loss. Dentures can slip and shift, and bridges require shaping healthy adjacent teeth for support. Implants replace the whole tooth, from root to crown, without altering the teeth next to it. A bridge or denture can still be the right choice for some people, and we'll talk you through all three.

    Without the stimulation a tooth root provides, the surrounding jawbone begins to shrink in a process called resorption. Over time this can change the shape of your face and cause adjacent teeth to drift or become unstable.

    With good care, dental implants can last for many years. They're looked after like natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing and routine check-ups at Oasis Smiles Dental keep your implant healthy and functional.

    We use CBCT 3D imaging to plan your implant placement precisely. For patients who need bone grafting first, we can coordinate this as part of your treatment plan.
