Dental Implants

With proper care, implants can last many years. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and healthy gums are key to long-term success. We recommend you to visit us every 6 months for a checkup and clean once you get your dental implants.

The dental implant procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during treatment. Most patients describe only mild discomfort afterward, which is less painful than a tooth extraction.

The actual placement of implant can take as quick as 45 minutes to 1 hour. More complex cases may take longer. We then have to wait approximately 3–6 months, depending on how quickly your bone heals around the implant. In some cases, we can place a temporary crown on the same day.

Most adults with good general and oral health are suitable candidates. If you have gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or smoke heavily, we’ll assess your situation carefully before treatment. If you are recieving Prolia injections, the treatment may have to be performed by a specialist.

Implant costs vary depending on how many teeth are replaced, bone condition, and materials used. However we offer very competitive pricing. A detailed treatment plan and quotation are always provided after your assessment.

Dental implants have been used for decades and have a very high success rate when placed by trained professionals using proper techniques and equipment. Implants are made out of medical-grade titanium which are compatible with your body. We only use reputable TGA approved materials.

Dental implants are a predictable and well-researched treatment, but like any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks.

• Infection or inflammation can occur around the implant site if healing or hygiene isn’t ideal.

• Incomplete bone integration may happen in rare cases, which could require additional treatment.

• Nerve or sinus involvement is possible if implants are placed too close to anatomical structures, though this is extremely uncommon with proper planning.

• Gum recession or gradual bone loss around an implant can occur over time, particularly in smokers or those with poor oral hygiene.

At Park Road Dental, Dr Harold Lee and Dr James Lee are highly trained in implant surgery and digital planning. Every step — from 3D imaging and guided placement to follow-up care — is carefully managed to minimise risks and ensure predictable, long-term success.

Every dental implant case is different — some are straightforward, while others require more detailed planning depending on bone quality and anatomy. At Park Road Dental, Dr Harold Lee and Dr James Lee carefully assess each case to determine its complexity and explain every step before treatment. We use digital 3D planning and custom-made surgical guides to ensure each implant is placed with precision, safety, and accuracy. This advanced approach allows the procedure to be performed smoothly and predictably, with minimal discomfort and excellent long-term results.
