Dental implants are your key to a door-opening smile

Dental implant costs start at $5,500. That might sound like a lot but you will feel it was worth every cent when you see your beautiful new gap-free smile. And speaking of gaps: Green Door Dental accepts all private health insurance so you can claim your treatment. And we offer flexible payment plans that let you fill in the gaps in your smile without making a hole in your finances.

Tooth implants have two parts. A titanium post that is carefully placed in your jawbone and acts as the tooth ‘root’, and a natural-looking, durable ‘crown’ that replaces the visible part of your tooth. The titanium root is implanted first, and when the bone and gum have healed, the crown is secured and your smile is complete.

If you take care of your tooth implants the same way as you would care for natural teeth - with regular brushing, flossing and six-monthly check-up and clean visits to your dentist - implants can last a lifetime.

When you have dental implants at Green Door Dental you don’t have to feel a thing, thanks to IV sedation. You will feel completely relaxed and won’t even know your surgery is happening until it’s over. There can be a little discomfort during the quick recovery period, but most patients find this is easily managed with over-the-counter painkillers.

It’s rare for dental implants to fail - there is a 95% - 97% chance of success. And Green Door Dental’s Directors hold a Clinical Diploma in Oral Implants and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Dentistry in Prosthodontics, so you know you’re in experienced, skilled hands.

The vast majority of patients are good candidates for dental implants. In cases where there is bone loss, grafts can be performed. Rest assured, your Green Door Dental clinician will be able to tell you straight away if dental implants are the best solution for you.

Look no further. Green Door Dental has studios in convenient locations across Sydney AND we have a wealth of experience in tooth implants. That means you can have your dental implant treatment nearby home or work or anywhere that is convenient. And you can trust that you will get excellent care and the results you want.

Having tooth implant surgery may sound like it could put you out of action for a while, but actually recovery time is very short! Most patients experience very little discomfort and get back to normal life straight away. If you have any discomfort, over-the-counter pain medication like paracetamol will most likely take care of it. So you won’t feel drowsy, and you can do everything you would usually do.

Tooth implant treatment has two stages. First the titanium ‘root’ is carefully implanted into your jawbone. After the bone heals around the implant ‘root’, the top part of the implant, the dental crown - that looks exactly like a natural tooth - is secured in place. It takes about 3 - 6 months for the bone to heal. During that time, you will be able to eat, speak and drink comfortably. And you will most likely not even need to take any pain medication after the first couple of days.

Depending on where your implant is situated in your mouth, a natural-looking temporary false tooth or teeth may be fitted while you wait to finalise your treatment. But even if that’s not possible, you will look exactly the same as you did before beginning treatment until your permanent dental implant is fitted. And the result will be well worth the wait!!

As much as we love seeing our patients, we will never make you come in more than you absolutely have to. For dental implants, you will only need to visit your Green Door Dental studio for your initial assessment, your implant surgery, and to have your permanent new tooth or teeth fitted. If you need us in between those appointments, of course we will be happy to help. We are just a phone call away, and you are welcome to book in and see us if there’s anything you’d like us to check during the process.
