Dental Implant

Secure, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement with Precision Technology

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile — they can impact your confidence, your ability to chew, and even the shape of your face over time. At Bannockburn Dental, we offer dental implants as a long-term, reliable solution that closely mimics natural teeth in both look and feel.

We use state-of-the-art guided implant technology to plan and place implants with exceptional accuracy. This advanced approach allows for safer, more comfortable treatment, faster healing, and results you can count on — whether you're replacing one tooth or several.

Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in place and supported by the jawbone, making them feel stable and secure. With proper care, they can last for decades — helping you eat, smile, and speak with confidence for years to come.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration), it forms a sturdy foundation for a replacement crown, bridge, or denture.

Dental implants are:
• Strong and stable
• Natural in appearance
• Highly durable and long-lasting
• Supportive of jaw health and bone density

Guided Implants

At Bannockburn Dental, we use advanced guided implant technology to take the guesswork out of implant placement. This modern approach allows us to plan every detail of your treatment using 3D imaging and digital scanning — resulting in highly accurate, efficient, and minimally invasive procedures.

With guided implants, we can:

Map out the ideal position, depth, and angle of each implant

Using 3D scans, we digitally plan the exact placement of your implant before surgery begins. This ensures we place it in the strongest and most functional position, which improves stability and aesthetics — giving you a more natural look and feel from day one.

Avoid nerves, sinuses, and other sensitive areas

Digital mapping allows us to see important anatomical structures clearly. This means we can avoid critical areas like nerves or sinuses during placement, reducing the risk of complications and improving your comfort both during and after the procedure.

Place implants with greater safety and precision

With a custom surgical guide, we place your implant exactly where it was planned — no guesswork, no unnecessary adjustments. This reduces the need for invasive surgery, shortens procedure time, and enhances your overall safety.

Reduce time in the chair and promote faster healing

Because the procedure is so precise and minimally invasive, it often means less time in the dental chair and less trauma to surrounding tissue. That means a quicker recovery, less swelling, and less post-operative discomfort for you.

Improve long-term success and stability

Accurate placement leads to better integration with your bone, which helps the implant stay strong for years to come. Guided implants reduce the chance of early failure and help ensure your new tooth looks and functions beautifully long term.

The Dental Implant Process at Bannockburn Dental

Consultation and Assessment

We begin with a detailed examination, digital x-rays, and 3D imaging (Cone Beam CT) to assess your bone quality and treatment suitability.

Digital Planning and Guided Surgery

We use advanced software to plan the optimal implant position. Custom 3D-printed surgical guides allow for precise, minimally invasive placement.

Implant Placement

Under local anaesthesia, the implant is gently guided into the jawbone via keyhole surgery. Most patients report minimal discomfort during or after the procedure.

Healing and Integration

The implant is left to integrate with your jawbone over several months. In some cases, a temporary restoration can be worn during healing.

Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant for a beautiful and functional result.

Recovery and follow-up

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the benefit of guided implants?

Guided implant surgery uses digital planning and 3D imaging for precise placement. This means a safer, more accurate procedure with faster healing and more predictable results.

2. How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last 15 years or more—often a lifetime.

3. What are the benefits of dental implants compared to dentures?

Implants look, feel, and function more like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, they don’t slip or need removal and help prevent bone loss in the jaw. Most patients find them more comfortable and longer-lasting.

4. Am I too old for dental implants?

Not at all. Many people get implants in their 60s or 70s. If your general and oral health is good, age isn’t a problem.

5. How do I care for dental implants?

Brush and floss regularly, just like natural teeth. Attend routine check-ups to ensure ongoing health.

6. Will my health fund cover implants?

Some private health funds offer partial cover. We’ll help you check your policy and provide quotes for pre-approval.

Dental implant bone graft

Bone Grafting (If Needed)

In some cases, bone loss in the jaw may make it difficult to place an implant. We offer bone grafting procedures to rebuild the bone and improve implant success. This ensures your implants are placed in the ideal position with the best long-term outcome.
