What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium screw that is carefully placed into your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the area has healed, a custom-made porcelain crown is securely attached to the implant, filling the gap and restoring the look and function of a natural tooth.
The process begins with a comprehensive examination by your dentist, which includes digital imaging, impressions, and radiographs to assess your oral health and plan the implant placement with precision.

The Dental Implant Procedure
While Dental Implants are regularly performed, they are a quite complex procedure and take precise planning.
The Comprehensive Dental Examination
The dentists at Mickleham Dental will start your dental implant journey, by completing a comprehensive dental examination, including taking dental X-Rays and 3D images of your jaw. During this appointment your medical and dental history will be discussed and a treatment plan will then be created, to tailor to your requirements. The implant planning process is then done via our 3D planning technology, giving the best outcome and treatment possible.
Bone Grafting
Bone Grafting may be the next Step require in the implant process. Bone Grafts involves preparing you jawbone to generate a solid foundation for the implant to be screwed into. Your dentist will advise you of the best option if a Bone Graft is required, this includes the best type of material to be used in order to rebuild your jawbone, ready for placement. This process may take several months, as you will need to wait for the transplanted bone to grow and ad head to the existing jaw bone, creating a stable base for the implant.
Stage one of the implant process
Your dentist will place the titanium screw into your jawbone and a healing cap will be placed onto of the screw to aid in the healing process. Once completed, your jawbone will start to grow into the Dental Implant, this process is known as Osseointegration. This process may take several months to fully integrate with the implant.
Stage two of the implant process – the final result!
Once your gums are fully healed, a scan will be taken of your mouth and teeth. This will be used to design a natural-looking tooth, which will be permanently attached to the implant. Your dentist will then discuss the design and shade matching of the implant to your natural teeth, in order to choose the most suitable design for you.

What Happens at Your Implant Consultation
Your implants are planned with CBCT 3D imaging and placed using Straumann and MIS implant systems, start to finish in one clinic.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, we will:
- Review your dental and medical history
- Assess your overall oral health and the condition of your gums, teeth and jaw
- Identify potential treatment options, including alternatives
- Discuss your suitability for dental implants
If required, your dentist may recommend a full-mouth assessment to assist with planning a personalised treatment approach. You will leave with a summary of the consultation, a preliminary diagnosis and information about the next steps.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
If you are a candidate for implants, the next stage involves precise treatment planning. We analyse 3D imaging of your jaw using Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scanning and digital intraoral scanning, consider your individual goals, and design a plan tailored to you. This includes:
- Positioning and number of implants
- Bone structure and grafting needs
- Functional and aesthetic considerations
- A detailed breakdown of costs and timelines
We use trusted implant systems including Straumann and MIS Dental Implants together with CAD/CAM-guided technology for precision, safety and optimal results. In some cases, immediate teeth can be placed on the day of surgery so you won't go without teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes, dental implants are a safe and well-established treatment. With decades of research and high success rates, they are one of the most reliable options for tooth replacement. At Mickleham Dental, we use state-of-the-art technology and follow strict protocols to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should have:
- Good oral hygiene habits
- Healthy gums
- Sufficient jawbone to support the implant
Even if you’ve been told in the past you’re not eligible, options like bone grafting or sinus lifts may make implants possible.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer — often a lifetime. Brushing, flossing, avoiding smoking, and keeping up with regular dental check-ups are essential for long-term success.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the implant procedure. It’s typically done under local anaesthesia, and any post-surgery soreness can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Our team ensures your comfort every step of the way.
Can dental implants replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch of missing teeth. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- A single implant with a crown
- An implant-supported bridge
- Implant-retained dentures for full arch solutions
How much do dental implants cost at Mickleham Dental?
Our fees are published rather than hidden behind a consultation — see the price table on this page for current single-implant and implant-plus-crown ranges. A CBCT 3D scan confirms your exact quote before treatment begins.
Is the whole implant process done in one clinic?
Yes. Planning (CBCT 3D imaging), implant placement using Straumann and MIS systems, and the final crown are all completed in-house at Tullamarine — no referrals between providers.
How long do dental implants take?
Most single implants take three to six months from placement to final crown, allowing time for the implant to integrate with bone. Timelines vary with individual healing and any preparatory work needed.
