Dental Implants
Until you lose a prominent tooth, or a few of them, it’s hard to imagine just how detrimental missing teeth can be to your quality of life. Whether it’s avoiding foods you used to love, or feeling self conscious and trying to hide your smile, at Northcote Family Dentist, we know the hidden impact that’s created by missing teeth. That’s one of the reasons we’re so passionate about dental implants. Dental implants use a titanium post placed into the jawbone to attach a custom-made crown. Being incredibly secure and very natural in appearance, they’re made to look, feel and function just like your own teeth, so you can get your old smile back.

FAQ for Dental Implants
How long do dental implants last? With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last decades or in many cases, a lifetime. As you can imagine, the titanium is indestructible, so it’s the crown attached to the implant that may eventually need replacing, usually after 10–15 years. How much do dental implants cost in Northcote? The cost depends on the number of implants needed and the complexity of your case. We provide you with all the relevant pricing information during your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Is the implant procedure painful? Dental implants are placed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure itself. You may get some soreness and swelling afterwards, but its usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. How long does the process take? The full dental implant process usually takes between 3 and 6 months. This allows time for the implant to heal and fuse with the jawbone before the final crown is fitted. Can I eat normally with dental implants? Yes. Once fully healed, dental implants function in the same way as your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Can I get dental implants if I’ve had bone loss? Even with reduced bone density, some patients are still suitable candidates for implants, although a bone graft may be recommended beforehand. We’ll assess your individual situation using digital imaging at your initial appointment.
