What Our Customers Say

When to Consider Dental Implants

Suffering From Damaged Or Missing Teeth?

Missing teeth can cause a variety of oral health problems, from misalignment to difficulty chewing and speaking. If you are missing one tooth or have multiple missing teeth as a result of an accident or decay, it is important to consider replacing them as soon as possible to avoid further complications to your oral and overall health

Unlike other tooth restoration options dental implants are implanted directly into the jawbone, providing a secure and permanent foundation for the replacement tooth.

At Doonan Dental, we specialise in providing with state-of-the-art traditional or mini dental implants Sunshine Coast patients can trust. Our dental implant procedure consists of a titanium root and a crown that is custom-made to fit your mouth. With a natural colour and shape, the crown is designed to seamlessly blend in with your surrounding teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Whether you are missing one tooth or multiple, we have the skills, knowledge, and equipment to give you the perfect smile that you have always wanted. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our Sunshine Coast dental restoration services.

What To Expect​ During A Dental Implant

Dental Solutions Tailored To You

We understand that undergoing dental implant treatment can seem overwhelming. That’s why we’re committed to providing you with a comfortable and stress-free experience.

During your initial consultation, our experienced dentist, Dr Keith Doonan, will thoroughly evaluate your dental health and explain the entire process to you, answering any questions or concerns you may have.

Next, we will place a titanium dental implant screw into your jawbone, which acts as an artificial root, promoting bone growth and keeping soft tissues stabilized. Our team will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure with the use of local anesthesia and sedation options, if needed.

The result is a natural-looking, long-lasting dental solution that can withstand the normal chewing actions of natural teeth. Once the implant fuses to the jawbone, it stays in place and you can eat without restrictions!

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

When it comes to missing teeth, traditional dental implants may not always be an option due to bone shrinkage caused by tooth extraction or decay. That’s where our mini dental implant procedure come in!

We offer our patients mini dental implants as a less invasive option for missing tooth replacements. These implants are narrower in diameter, which makes them ideal for cases where traditional implants cannot be placed.

Despite their smaller size, mini dental implants are just as durable, stable and strong as traditional implants, giving you the same benefits in terms of improved appearance, functionality and oral health. Made from titanium, they are also biocompatible and will fuse with your jawbone over time.

Frequently Asekd Questions

Dental implants are considered the optimal solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a high success rate and a natural look and feel. Compared to other options, dental implants closely resemble natural teeth, providing both improved aesthetics and functionality.

 

The cost of dental implants depends on various factors, including the number of implants required, the complexity of the procedure, the type of implant chosen, and the materials used for the crown or bridge. Additionally, some dental insurance plans may offer coverage for dental implant procedures, helping to offset the cost.

For patients seeking the benefits of dental implants but concerned about health and cost implications, mini implants offer an excellent alternative. These innovative implants are smaller in size and require a simpler procedure compared to conventional implants. As a result, mini implants can often be placed in just one visit to the dentist, allowing patients to enjoy the advantages of implant-supported restorations more quickly.

While it is possible to receive a same-day implant, a more gradual approach is recommended for improved predictability and cost-effectiveness for most patients.

Typically, after tooth extraction, we advise waiting for 6-12 weeks before placing the implant to allow for proper healing and bone attachment. The process of fitting a dental implant usually involves a waiting period of 6-12 weeks for the bone to fuse with the implant, followed by the fabrication of the final crown, which takes approximately 2 to 4 weeks. The overall timeline for completing a dental implant can range from 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the case.

Ideal candidates for dental implants are individuals who have completed teeth growth, typically around 18 years of age, and are in good overall health with proper oral hygiene practices.

However, a comprehensive oral and medical assessment is necessary to determine the suitability for full and mini dental implants.

Several factors can slightly increase the risk of implant failure, including inadequate bone volume, active periodontal/ gum disease, poorly controlled diabetes, bisphosphonate medication use, poor oral hygiene, smoking, and certain systemic diseases.

Dental implants are considered a long-lasting dental procedure and will last between 10 and 30 years with the right care and oral hygiene routine

The placement of dental implants is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that the procedure itself is not painful. However, it is important to remember that every patient’s pain tolerance and healing process may vary.

After the surgery, it is common to experience some soreness, swelling, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs.

It’s important to remember that dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, and the discomfort associated with the procedure is usually temporary when compared to the benefits they provide in terms of functionality, aesthetics, and oral health.

There are several alternatives to dental implants used to replace teeth. The most common alternatives include:

  1. Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that uses adjacent teeth as support to bridge the gap created by a missing tooth. The artificial tooth is attached to crowns placed on the adjacent teeth.

  2. Dentures: Removable dentures are a traditional option for replacing missing teeth. They can be full dentures, replacing all teeth in an arch, or partial dentures, replacing only a few missing teeth. These dentures are designed to be taken out for cleaning and maintenance.
