Dental Implants in Perth
Why choose Dental Implants?
Implants offer the closest thing to having real teeth, as they are implanted into your jaw so that they look, feel, and act just like teeth. They can ensure you have full functionality of your mouth while you’re eating, drinking, and speaking, not to mention being able to smile confidently with a healthy full set of teeth once again.
Many of our DB Dental practices offer teeth implants in Perth, which means that you can access top-level care and technology when seeing one of our dentists. Additionally, they are also friendly and patient, as they understand that it can be daunting to get dental implants.
The process begins with getting the implant in your jaw, which will take several months to heal securely in place. Then you’ll be back to have an impression or scan. Finally, your dentist will fit you for a custom-made dental crown and return one final time to have it secured in place.
It’s a lengthy process, which is why it’s so important to have a friendly team who will explain each step and answer any questions along the way. You’ll find this friendly team at any of our DB Dental practices when you get a tooth implant in Perth.

The cost of a dental implant in Perth can vary quite dramatically depending on a number of factors, such as if you require more than one implant, the type of dental implant required (for example, All-on-4 dental implants) or even the type of materials used.
The treatment process can depend on your oral health to begin with. If you have gum disease, for example, your dentist will need to treat this first before beginning the implant process.
Once you are able to receive an implant, the first step is for your dentist to take a series of x-rays, a CT scan, and an impression of your teeth. Following this, the first procedure will place the implant - the ‘post’ - into your jaw, after which you will need to wait several months for the site to fully heal and secure the implant in place. During this time, you can sometimes have a temporary tooth placed so you don’t have a gap in your smile.
Next, your dentist will add an abutment to the post, and you will wait for two weeks or so for this to heal.
Finally, you will be fitted for a dental crown to be inserted over the post. Your final appointment will be for the crown to be permanently secured in place. It will look, feel, and act just like a real tooth.
Yes, dental implants are well worth the time and effort. While it’s fantastic that they can restore your confidence in your smile, they also serve a very important practical purpose. They can help to ensure you can eat, drink, and speak normally, and they can maintain your facial structure as well, as cheeks can sag where teeth are missing over time. If you think you need a tooth implant treatment, speak to your local Perth DB Dental dentist to learn more about the next steps.
A standard dental crown is a thin, shell-like layer that fits over your natural tooth. It offers added strength for compromised teeth (such as if you have had a root canal on that tooth), and can improve the appearance of the tooth.
A dental implant also involves a crown as the final step, but instead of fitting over a natural tooth, it is fitted over an abutment, which is attached to an artificial post that is implanted into your jaw.
