A dental implant is one of our specialties at Hills Dental Care in Sydney. This procedure allows a patient to replace a lost, damaged, or infected tooth with a synthetic one. Matched perfectly to the colour and shape of its predecessor, the tooth can then be used normally by the patient. But the advantages of dental implants don’t stop there.

They Last
One of the most significant benefits of dental implants is that they offer a permanent oral solution. Constructed of a hard-wearing material, a dental implant will last well, at least as long as your natural teeth. They are crafted to resemble the shape and the colour of your existing teeth, so your smile continues uninterrupted. And in the absence of a gap in your teeth, you will not struggle to pronounce familiar words.
No Bone Loss
Your jawbone can deteriorate over time when it has no teeth to support it and can lose its strength and firmness. With a titanium base connecting your jawbone to your new tooth, the bone is stimulated, staying strong and ensuring your jawline stays the same.
Chewing problems
Another benefit of dental implants is that they can correct chewing issues. A missing tooth can also encourage the bad habit of chewing solely on one side of the mouth. This ailment can cause undue wear on that side’s jaw joint, along with the teeth. It can also build up jaw muscles, over time, on one side only — leading to a lopsided face. If you’re noticing that one side is favoured over the other due to a missing tooth, a dental implant can solve the problem.
Safety
Dental implants have a noted track record of success for patients — another significant advantage of dental implants to other oral solutions. They last better and are more easily inserted than more topical solutions, with fewer complications with neighbouring teeth. At Hills Dental Care, we can assure Sydney of a successful dental implant procedure, and a striking smile.

FAQs
What are the main advantages of dental implants over dentures or bridges?
One of the major benefits of dental implants is that they are a permanent and durable solution that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth, without the hassle or upkeep of other dental solutions. For instance, unlike dentures, dental implants don’t require adhesives and won’t slip. They also don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support like bridges do, preserving your natural tooth structure.
Dental implants are also known for supporting jawbone health, offering a more durable, long-term option for tooth replacement.
Dental implants are a key focus at Hills Dental Care. Our team ensures a natural-looking result by carefully matching the colour and shape of your teeth — so you can move forward confidently and let your smile lead the way.
How do dental implants improve my ability to eat and speak?
Dental implants are securely attached to the jawbone, which means they won’t shift or move. This stability allows you to chew food more effectively and speak clearly without worrying about slippage. With quality dental implants, you can still enjoy all the foods you love and speak with confidence, just like you would with your normal teeth.
Do dental implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw?
Yes, dental implants can prevent bone loss in the jaw. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants mimic natural tooth roots and stimulate the bone, encouraging it to maintain its density and strength. This can preserve your facial structure and overall oral health over time.
What type of implants do you recommend?
The Straumann implant is our optimal choice due to its healthier and quicker healing process. It typically takes about three to six weeks for healing, during which osseointegration is completed. The three- to six-month healing period is also when we perform bone grafting or sinus lift.
After this period, we can begin the second phase of the implant process. With the assistance of our clinician and our 3D CAD/CAM system, we create a custom-made tooth for each patient.
It’s important to note that if no bone grafting or sinus lift is required, the entire treatment can be completed in approximately three to six months between the first and second appointments, assuming everything goes smoothly.
