Dental Implants in Hurstville
What Are They?
Dental implants are designed to replace missing, loose or broken teeth. Implants are used when they integrate with the jawbone and act as a replacement tooth root. A Crown is attached onto the dental implant to rebuild the top of the tooth.
Dental Implants have two main treatment phases. Firstly, they are placed into the jawbone. Secondly, the implant has the top of the tooth placed, the crown and abutment. These two stages have been traditionally performed with between 3-6 months healing in-between.
At GC Dental, we’re proud to have advanced technologies and can complete your treatment from start to finish, from the surgery to the porcelain crown being made onsite with our experienced Dental Ceramists, even your ongoing hygiene, checkups and follow up care. From your first consultation, our practice makes use of its onsite Conebeam CT 3D Digital X-Rays system and onsite Dental Laboratory to create a virtual 3D model of your mouth.
Just Like Your Own Teeth
If you are missing any of your natural teeth, our practice can provide you with teeth that look and feel like your very own. Implants will enable you to enjoy the simple pleasures of unrestricted eating. They can also help prevent deterioration of the jawbone caused by loss of teeth, so your face retains its natural shape – conventional dentures usually lead to accelerated bone loss. Implants are made of materials, such as the metal titanium, which are compatible and can bond strongly to the living bone tissue.

Types of Implants
A missing tooth should be replaced soon after tooth removal to prevent bone loss which may complicate your Dental Implant Treatment.
During consultation, a personalised plan will be created for you. Your dental plan will include time and appointments, costs, benefits and risks.
This surgery is minimally invasive, performed in our office usually under a local anaesthesia, and requires no stitches or long healing times. They are designed to function immediately because of the self tapping action. The implants are placed in the jawbone with the head protruding above the gum-line to provide a solid foundation for securing your denture or fixed bridge system.
This treatment is proven to be durable and long lasting. The longevity of a mini dental implant is comparable and in many cases exceeds conventional implants.
The advantages include:
- Inserted directly through the gum tissue and into the underlying bone. There is no need to make a surgical incision into the gum.
- Less post-surgery irritation and a comfortable margin of safety during insertion because of the way they are inserted.
- Mini dental implants are not only constructed of titanium like conventional implants, but a blend of other metals, resulting in one of the strongest materials available. They are also smaller and stronger than conventional implants.
- If a denture patient has sufficient bone mass, this option will withstand normal biting forces in the same way that natural teeth do.
