Our Implant Services on the Sunshine Coast
We offer proven solutions designed to meet your individual needs, from replacing a single tooth to complete smile restoration.
Single Tooth Replacement
Missing one tooth? A single implant provides a permanent solution that looks and functions like your natural tooth. The titanium implant fixture integrates with your jawbone, supporting a custom dental crown that matches your existing teeth perfectly. Your surrounding healthy teeth remain untouched, preserving your natural smile structure.
All-on-4 and Full Arch Treatment
For patients missing multiple teeth or facing complete tooth loss, full mouth dental implants offer a life-changing solution. Using 4-6 strategically placed implant fixtures, we can support a complete dental bridge of replacement teeth. This dental restoration allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence once again. Many patients benefit from our teeth in a day approach, where you can walk out with functioning teeth on the same day as your surgical placement.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures? Denture implants provide the stability you’ve been missing. By anchoring your dentures to implant fixtures, we eliminate the movement and discomfort associated with traditional dentures, giving you the freedom to enjoy your favourite foods and restore your chewing ability.
Digital Planning and Advanced Technology
Our dental practice utilises advanced 3D scan technology to ensure precise guided implant placement. This approach improves treatment outcomes and helps us provide you with accurate information about your procedure timeline and expected results.
Why Tooth Replacement May Be Right for You
Implant treatment offers numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options. Here are some signs that this solution might be ideal for your situation:
You might benefit from implant treatment if you:
- Have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease
- Experience difficulty with your chewing ability or eating certain foods
- Feel self-conscious about gaps in your smile
- Find that missing teeth affect your speech or quality of life
- Want to prevent the facial changes that occur with tooth loss
- Seek a permanent dental restoration rather than removable options
- Have sufficient bone density to support implants (or are suitable for bone grafting)
Our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your oral health to determine if implant surgery is suitable for your specific circumstances.

What to Expect During Your Treatment Journey
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. We’ll explain the process, timeline, and answer any questions you may have about dental implant surgery.
Treatment Planning
Using advanced 3D scan technology, we create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This planning phase ensures optimal guided implant placement and helps us provide you with realistic expectations about your treatment. If bone grafting is needed to support your implant fixture, we’ll discuss this during your consultation.
Surgical Placement
The implant procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, though sedation dentistry options are available for patients who feel anxious. We place the titanium implant fixture into the jawbone, where it will integrate over the following months through natural bone growth. Many patients find the procedure more comfortable than they anticipated. For those requiring multiple teeth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, we can coordinate this with your implant treatment.
Healing and Integration
During the healing period, the implant fuses with your jawbone through bone growth in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your prosthetic tooth or teeth. The healing time varies depending on individual factors and whether bone grafting was required.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach your custom-made dental crown, dental bridge, or denture to the implant fixture. The result is a natural-looking, functional replacement that can last for many years with proper dental hygiene.
Patient Information and Aftercare
Preparing for Your Procedure
We provide detailed pre-treatment instructions to help ensure the best possible outcome. This includes information about medications, eating guidelines, and what to expect on the day of your dental implant surgery. We’ll also discuss sedation dentistry options and payment plans during your consultation.
Recovery and Healing
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following surgical placement. We’ll provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and remain available to address any concerns during your recovery period. Proper dental hygiene during healing is essential for successful bone growth around the implant fixture.
Long-term Care
Implant fixtures require similar dental care to natural teeth, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. With proper dental hygiene, implants can last for decades and continue to support your quality of life.
Collaborative Care with Your Regular Dentist
We understand the importance of maintaining relationships with your existing dental team. If you have a regular dentist, we’re happy to work collaboratively to ensure continuity of dental care. We can coordinate treatment plans and share information to provide you with the best possible outcome.
This collaborative approach ensures that your implant treatment integrates seamlessly with your overall oral health plan.
Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Treatment
With proper dental care and maintenance, implants can last 20-30 years or even a lifetime. The dental crown or restoration may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant fixture itself typically remains stable for decades.
Age alone is rarely a barrier to implant surgery. Many patients in their 70s and 80s successfully receive implants. The key factors are overall health, bone density, and healing capacity rather than chronological age.
Treatment costs vary depending on your specific needs, the number of implants required, and the type of dental restoration. Full mouth dental implants on the Sunshine Coast represent a significant investment in your oral health and quality of life. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing information and discuss available payment plans.
Implant surgeries have a success rate of approximately 95-98% when performed by experienced practitioners at our dental practice. Success depends on factors such as dental hygiene, overall oral health, and following post-treatment care instructions.
Yes, once fully healed, implants allow you to eat virtually all foods that you could with natural teeth. Your chewing ability is restored to near-normal function. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported restorations provide stable chewing function without dietary restrictions.
Most patients report that surgical placement is less uncomfortable than they expected. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and sedation dentistry options are available for anxious patients. Some complex cases may require a general anaesthetic. Post-operative discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
