Implant Supported Bridges
Individualised
Each treatment is planned on an individual basis and whilst certain patients may need additional more than four implants on occasion or other procedures for appropriate long term support, we always aim to avoid prolonged treatment duration with advanced techniques that afford minimal disruption to our patients’ day-to-day life and function.
Problems We Solve With Dental Implants
01
Single
Implants
The process of getting conventional dental implants requires between 3 and 6 months. The process uses three components, the implant which is placed in the jawbone, the metal abutment that is screwed in the implant, and the crown that matches your natural teeth.
02
Implant Supported
Bridges
Implant-supported bridges will provide you with a permanent, fixed and functional tooth replacement option. Generally, an implant-supported bridge will consist of one of more ‘pontic’ crowns in the middle, surrounded by ‘retainer crowns’ that are attached to dental implants.
03
Implant supported full
mouth prosthesis
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures anchor directly to your jawbone using dental implants. As a result, they offer more stability for chewing and speaking. There are removable and nonremovable implant-supported denture options, depending on your needs.
It’s About Quality of Life
Using advanced procedures pioneered at our clinic, combined with recent advances in medical and dental technology have led to expanded areas of clinical practice never thought possible.
With such advancements adding to one of the most researched and successful
treatment modalities in dentistry to date, dental implants are today considered the
standard of care for many oral conditions, and the best alternative to natural teeth or
dentures for many who have lost or are about to lose their teeth.
Using advanced procedures, we have been able to reverse the visual and functional effects of tooth loss. Effects that can be more far reaching than functional difficulties or poor appearance alone; which may often also affect a person’s entire personality, their confidence and self-esteem. When we restore function and improve the appearance, this often translates into improved confidence as well as many other aspects of everyday life. It’s about quality of life. At Glenroy Dental Group, we believe that being able to eat and function should not be an exclusive privilege, but a basic human right.
We strive to make a difference being driven by our deep seated belief that “happiness begins with a smile”, and we are proud of our results having given many thousands of our patients a second lease on life with our treatment methods, and something to smile about.

Step - 1
Complimentary Pre-Consultation Interview
Before being examined by a trained dentist to establish a diagnosis and treatment plan for you, we may offer a pre-consultation service where you would see a member of the dental team, such as a technician or a clinical coordinator, who have been sufficiently involved in the entire process by working side-by-side with the dentist performing the operations to enable them to explore in general various treatment options and discuss in some detail the implants procedure. You may ask to see some of our work for patients with similar conditions to yours, and for any particular information that you may be interested in.
Appointment Duration : 30 minutes

Consultation with an Expert

Frequently
Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implant is the process where a prosthetic tooth is surgically fixed in place of a missing tooth.
There are three parts in dental implant:
- A screw that is fixed within the bone
- An abutment is a piece that basically connects the prosthetics to the implants
- A crown that is placed over the abutment. It is a cover that imitates the look of your natural teeth. It looks natural, is functional like the remaining teeth, and feels comfortable also.
Why should I replace the missing or extracted teeth?
When the place of the extracted teeth is left empty, the jawbone begins to shrink. The structure of the face is impacted, making you look much older than you actually are. Missing teeth also impact your ability to chew, bite, speech and cause problems of the jaw joint in the future.
What are the benefits of getting dental implants to replace missing teeth?
The benefits of dental implant are:
- Strong, durable, and protected teeth
- Naturally functional set of teeth
- Comfortable and natural
- Reduced speech impairment
- Restores and safeguards the natural shape of the face, mouth, and jaws
What are the benefits of dental implants over bridges or dentures?
- The design of dental implants matches the colour and composition of your existing teeth, creating a natural-looking smile
- They are incredibly secure and stable, giving you the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without fear of movement or shifting
- Implants require the same maintenance as natural teeth during regular brushing and flossing, as they are permanently affixed in the mouth, which means that they are very easy to care for
Can anyone get dental implants?
The process of getting dental implants is suitable for all ages, including those who possess less jaw bone. The process of bone grafting allows them to get the required bone density and then undergo the dental implant process.
What if I don’t have the required bone density for dental implants?
Patients who lack the required bone density to perform dental implant surgery, we add more bone and make the area suitable to perform dental implant surgery. The process takes very less time and can be performed on the same day as the dental implant surgery. But for patients who require more bone density, the bone placement is performed at least 3 months before the dental implant surgery.
How long do dental implants last?
If you follow the advice of our dentists and practice good oral care at home and come for regular dental check-ups, then dental implants can last you a lifetime.
Diseases, genetics, nutritional requirements, along with a few other factors, also influence the durability of dental implants. However, having good oral health with regular dental visits post-treatment mostly tends to decide the success rate and longevity of dental implants.
Glenroy Dental Group offers premium-quality prosthetics and highly skilled dentists to perform dental implant surgery.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
The success rate of dental implants in Australia is very high, around 98%, for most individuals.
Can people with the habit of smoking get dental implants?
Our dentists advise patients to quit smoking before they undergo surgery to have dental implants placed. The success rate for smokers on average is statistically lower than that of non-smokers.
What do All On X implants cost?
All On X implants cost starts at $10,000
