Implants

Restore the look and function of your smile

Replace your missing tooth with an implant and complete your smile.

If you lose a tooth, it may seem like it is the end of the world and that you will never smile again. Luckily for you, there is no need to worry. At The Smile Clinique, we can restore your smile through the use of high quality implants.

What is involved in the procedure?

Getting an implant is not a simple procedure and will involve multiple trips to The Smile Clinique.

Your smile enhancement consultation

During your initial consultation with Dr Sarah, she will listen to your concerns and work with you on a treatment plan. If you are missing a tooth, an implant may be a great solution to fill the gap and stop further damage or teeth from shifting as well as supporting the soft tissues of the face to avoid the face sinking in.

Factors that Dr Sarah will consider when assessing you for an implant crown:

Gum health
Dental health and neighbouring teeth
Bone density
Overall oral health
Medical history

Referral for dental implant

If you qualify for implant treatment, Dr Sarah will refer you to a specialist to have a dental implant surgically placed into the jaw. The specialist will ensure the implant is placed safely and with immaculate precision. They will consider the architecture of the gums, bone and soft tissue in the area. Your new implant will then begin to bond with your jaw bone. This is when you will be required to see The Smile Clinique to have your implant crown fitted.

Receiving your implant crown

Our team of dental professionals and technicians will use a good eye for detail to precisely create a crown that will match the colouring and contours of your natural teeth and sit comfortably between the gap. This will result in a beautiful, natural looking and complete smile with a restoration that could last 20 years or more.

What is involved in the procedure?

Use The Smile Clinique offers two different types of implant crowns:

Cemented
Screw-retained

Which method is used will be left up to your dentist based on many technical factors associated with the positions and angulation of the crown and the final result you and your dentist hope to achieve.

Implant Crowns FAQs

Is there a difference between an implant crown and a dental implant?

Yes. A dental implant refers to the implant that is inserted into the jaw while an implant crown refers to the crown which is placed on top of the implant. A dental implant and an implant crown go hand in hand with the implant providing the foundation for the crown.

How long does an implant crown last?

If you maintain your regular check up and cleans, an implant crown can last between 15 – 30 years. However, if maintained with good oral hygiene, the implant itself can last a lifetime.

What are crowns made of?

At The Smile Clinique, your implant crown will be made of either a tooth coloured zirconia, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal based on the area that is being restored and the functional and cosmetic requirement. Any and all implant crowns we place are designed to provide a natural colour match to the rest of your teeth.
