Missing teeth affect more than appearance. They can change the way you eat, speak and feel day to day. Dental implants offer a long-term, natural-looking solution that restores function and confidence.
At Wickham Dental Carseldine, we combine experience, digital planning and compassionate care to deliver implant treatments that look and feel like natural teeth.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a small biocompatible titanium post placed in the jaw to replace a tooth root. As it integrates with the bone, it forms a stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge or full-arch restoration. The result is strength, stability and aesthetics in one solution, without relying on adjacent teeth.
Implants can replace:
- One missing tooth with a single crown;
- Several teeth with an implant-supported bridge;
- All teeth with full-arch solutions such as All-on-4 or All-on-X.
Why choose dental implants?
Implants replicate natural tooth structure above and below the gum line, which is why they are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement.
- Longevity: With proper care, implants can last for decades;
- Function: Eat, speak and smile with confidence;
- Bone preservation: The implant stimulates the jawbone and helps limit bone loss;
- Natural appearance: Custom restorations are colour-matched and shaped to your smile;
- Confidence: No slipping dentures or visible gaps.
Your implant journey at Wickham Dental Carseldine
Every smile is unique. We plan each case around your goals, health and anatomy using a fully digital workflow.
1) Assessment and 3D imaging
We evaluate gum health and bone volume with digital X-rays and 3D scans to confirm suitability and map precise implant positions.
2) Personalised treatment planning
Your dentist designs a plan focused on comfort, aesthetics and long-term success. Digital simulations help you visualise the likely outcome before treatment begins.
3) Implant placement
Under local anaesthesia, with sedation available if appropriate, the implant is placed gently into the jaw. Over the following months it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
4) Restoration and final smile
Once healed, we attach a custom crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis. The final restoration is crafted for a comfortable bite, clear speech and a natural look.
Technology and in-house collaboration
Our advanced digital tools and in-house lab support accuracy at every stage:
- Streamlined turnaround times;
- Precise fit and bite calibration;
- Seamless dentist-technician collaboration;
- Predictable, aesthetically refined results.
Caring for your implants
Implants are easy to maintain with good home care and routine visits.
- Brush twice daily with a soft brush and low-abrasive toothpaste;
- Clean around the implant with floss or interdental aids;
- Attend professional cleans every six months;
- Avoid smoking and excessive force on the implant;
- Keep up with review appointments as advised.
