Complete Dental Implants in Perth
Dental implants are biocompatible tooth restorations made to imitate the function of natural tooth roots. When you have a missing tooth, an implant can replace it and support a permanent crown, bridge or denture. Dental implants are the perfect alternative to traditional bridges and partial dentures because they can function independently of the other teeth.

Healthier for Your Smile
New bone forms around dental implants, which then fuses them permanently in place. This enhances the natural shape of the jaw, and prevents the “sunken in” facial profile that is typically associated with tooth loss. Living with implants is easier than wearing a removable denture, because an implant is designed to:
- Provide a permanent alternative
- Be stronger than natural teeth
- Blend in with the teeth around it
- Last for life
- Strengthen the bone
The Dental Implant Process
When you get implants, there will be a few different appointments involved, including surgical placement of the implant root, the healing period, and the final reconstruction. Although implant placement does require a small surgery, it is usually easier and more comfortable than having a tooth pulled out. Most of our patients are surprised at how quick and straightforward the surgery actually is. After the surgery, the implant integrates with the bone over the next few months, and you will have to wear a temporary restoration for aesthetic purposes. About three to six months later, we will fix the permanent crown, bridge or denture in place.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Before you can receive implant treatment, our expert dentists will need to screen you for gum disease or decay and check the amount of healthy bone support. We recommend implants for individuals with fully developed teeth and there is a minimum age requirement of 18 years old.

FAQS
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or teeth. They offer a permanent solution for missing teeth and can be used to support single crowns, bridges, or full dentures.
HOW LONG DO DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years. On average, they can last between 20 to 30 years or even a lifetime. The longevity of an implant depends on oral hygiene, diet, and regular dental check-ups.
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS PAINFUL?
While the procedure of placing dental implants may require local anesthesia or sedation to minimise discomfort, most patients report that it is not overly painful. Some patients may experience minor discomfort during the recovery period, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
HOW LONG DOES THE DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS TAKE?
The process of getting dental implants typically involves several stages and can take several months to complete. This includes initial consultations, surgical placement of the implant, healing time, and finally, the placement of the crown or bridge. Each step is spaced out to ensure proper healing and integration.
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
Not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Ideally, candidates should have good overall health and sufficient bone density in their jaw to support the implant. Factors such as smoking, diabetes, and existing gum disease may affect eligibility. A thorough consultation with your First Impressions Dental dentist will determine if dental implants are suitable for your individual situation.
