Dental implants at Smile Solutions
Dental implants are titanium fixtures surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root structure of a missing tooth. Once integrated with the bone, they support a crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis. Smile Solutions uses Nobel Biocare implants, manufactured in Switzerland, and is one of Australia's most experienced implant centres.
Conventional implants
In the conventional protocol, the implant is placed and allowed to integrate with the jawbone over 3 to 6 months before the permanent crown is fitted. During this healing period, a temporary restoration may be provided depending on the location and patient preference.
Conventional implants are suitable for most patients and most sites, including cases where bone volume is adequate after extraction or following bone grafting.
Immediate implants
Where bone density and implant stability allow, an implant can be placed at the time of tooth extraction and a provisional restoration fitted the same day. This approach reduces total treatment time and avoids the tooth being absent while the implant integrates.
Not every patient or site is suitable for immediate implant placement. Your treating specialist will assess bone quality, infection status, and anatomical factors to determine whether an immediate or conventional approach is appropriate.
The implant team at Smile Solutions
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and specialist periodontists place implants at Smile Solutions. The prosthetic (crown) component is then planned and delivered by specialist prosthodontists — ensuring that both the surgical and restorative phases of treatment are overseen by registered specialists.
On-site CBCT (cone beam CT) imaging via the Planmeca ProMax 3D Max allows three-dimensional surgical planning before any procedure begins. coDiagnostix software is used for virtual implant placement and surgical guide design.
Single implants, multiple implants, full arch
Smile Solutions offers implants across the full range of indications:
- Single tooth implant: One implant supporting one crown — the gold standard for replacing an individual missing tooth
- Multiple implants: Individual implants for several missing teeth, or implant-supported bridges spanning a section of the arch
- All-on-4 full arch: Four implants per arch supporting a fixed ceramic bridge — the most comprehensive full-arch solution (see the All-on-4 guide for full details)
