Dental implants closely mimic a natural tooth by replacing the root and tooth.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect far more than just your appearance—they may impact your ability to eat, speak and feel confident in social situations.

At Bayswater Family Dental, Dr Russell Fine provides comprehensive dental implant treatment, offering families in Bayswater a permanent, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth and restore function.

What Are Dental Implants?

Implants are biocompatible titanium posts that Dr Fine places into the jawbone during a simple surgical procedure to replace a missing tooth’s root. Once the implant integrates and fuses with your bone tissue during a process called osseointegration, it provides a solid foundation for a custom-made crown, dental bridge or denture. This creates a tooth replacement that looks, feels and functions just like your natural teeth.

Advantages of Dental Implants in Bayswater, WA

Dental implants offer significant benefits compared to traditional bridges and dentures.

Preserves Jawbone

Unlike bridges and dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.

Saves Adjacent Teeth

Bridges require grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth, while implants are independent and don't affect surrounding teeth.

Superior Stability

Implants are anchored in your jawbone, eliminating the slipping or discomfort often experienced with removable dentures.

Easy Home Care

You’ll brush dental implants just like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing, unlike bridges that require special cleaning techniques.

Exceptional Longevity

With the right care, dental implants can potentially last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term investment for patients.

Natural Aesthetics

Dental implants look and feel just like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat all your favourite foods and speak more clearly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard solution for replacing missing teeth; however, not everyone is automatically suitable for this treatment. Dr Fine carefully evaluates each patient to determine if dental implants are the right choice for their individual circumstances.

Understanding Dental Implants in Bayswater, WA

The ideal candidate for tooth implants typically meets several essential criteria. Most importantly, you need sufficient bone density in your jaw to support the implant, as the titanium post needs to integrate securely with your jawbone. Good overall health is also essential, as certain medical conditions can affect healing and implant success.

Key factors that make you a good candidate include:

Healthy gums and oral tissues — Active gum disease must be treated before implant placement to ensure proper healing and long-term success
Sufficient bone structure — Adequate jawbone density and height to support the implant securely
Good general health — No underlying medical conditions that could compromise healing or implant integration
Non-smoker or willing to quit — Smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure and complications
Commitment to oral hygiene — Willingness to maintain excellent daily care and attend regular dental check-ups

Age isn't typically a barrier, as Dr Fine has successfully placed implants in patients from their twenties through to their eighties. However, younger patients must have finished jaw development before treatment can begin.

During your consultation at our Bayswater dental practice, Dr Fine will assess your suitability through a comprehensive examination and imaging to create the best treatment plan for your needs.

The Dental Implant Process

Dr Fine takes a comprehensive approach to implant treatment, beginning with a thorough examination and advanced imaging to assess your bone structure and overall oral health. The implant placement procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic in our comfortable Bayswater dental practice, with sedation options available for anxious patients.

Following implant placement, there's a healing period of several months while the implant fuses with your jawbone. During this time, we'll provide you with temporary tooth replacement options to ensure you're never without a complete smile. Once healing is complete, your custom-made restoration is attached, completing your new tooth.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Implants?

Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants, whether you're missing a single tooth, several teeth or need full mouth reconstruction. Dr Fine will assess factors such as your overall health, condition of your gums and bone density to determine if implants are right for you.
