If you have a missing tooth, we know this can impact your quality of life. SmilesHQ uses the latest dental implant techniques to provide modern dental implants in Warners Bay. Our friendly and dedicated team is dedicated to restoring your smile.
Our dentists offer various tooth replacement options, such as dentures, partials and dental implants. Untreated tooth loss can affect how you eat, speak, smile and socialise. Fortunately, our modern and customised tooth replacements can restore oral health, function and appearance.
A dental implant is a permanent tooth root replacement that consists of three parts: the screw-like titanium post, the abutment and the prosthesis. Essentially, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth structure, from the root beneath the gumline to the visible portion of the tooth.
The implant post is surgically placed in the jaw to create a secure and stable foundation for the artificial tooth or teeth. The implant post is biocompatible, meaning it safely and naturally integrates with your jawbone to become a part of your mouth’s anatomy.
The abutment is a connector piece that adjoins the prosthesis to the implant post, ensuring it stays in place. The artificial tooth or teeth can be a single dental crown replacing one tooth or a denture or bridge replacing all or multiple teeth.
Dental implants simulate the look, feel and function of natural teeth, which is why they’re considered the gold standard of tooth replacement.
If you have one or more missing teeth and want to complete your smile, we invite you to book a consultation at our Warners Bay dental clinic.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth, from root to crown. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or several missing teeth, even the entire upper or lower arch. A dental implant has three parts: a screw-like post, an abutment and a prosthesis.
The screw-like post is surgically placed into the jawbone, and then we connect the abutment and prosthesis to complete your smile. A prosthesis can be a dental crown, bridge or denture.

If you're a good candidate for dental implants, we evaluate your smile, take impressions for precise implant placement and ensure you understand the procedure. We then surgically place the screw-like implant post into the jawbone. Over time, the jawbone fuses with the implant post through a process called osseointegration. This stabilises the implant and promotes longevity. Once the jawbone and gums heal, we place the abutment and prosthesis, completing your new smile.
Treatment timelines depend on patient suitability and clinical needs. Your dentist will confirm your expected treatment timeframe.
