Have you had a tooth extracted in the past and want it replaced?
Do you have a severely infected or broken tooth that can’t be saved?
Looks like Dental Implants may be the answer!
- Dental implants are special titanium screws that act as a tooth root. They are placed in your jaw and your bone grows around it, anchoring it into position. After a few months, a custom made crown is attached to the implant so it functions and acts just like a normal tooth.
- We offer a range of implant options: Single implants to multiple implants, including full arch reconstruction, rehabilitation and smile make-overs.
- Bone grafting and sinus lifting procedures are also done at our clinic – for cases where there is insufficient bone.
- We also offer Zirconia Implants for those that are not able to have titanium dental implants.

Do you need to to refer me to a specialist to do my dental implants?
We do most Dental Implant cases here at Dental at Keys, including full arch Dental Bridges and all the surgical procedures required to do one including sinus lifts.
Do I need Sleep Dentistry for dental implants?
It's up to you! If you are anxious about surgical dental treatment, sedation options like sleep dentistry might be a good option for you. If not, most of our procedures are done under local anaesthetic at our dental clinic.
Can I get an immediate (instant) Implant?
In some cases, we are able to do an immediate implant with a crown on top (same day crown and implant surgery). However, this is generally not always done due to certain medical risks. In most cases, delayed placement of the crown with extensive healing has a better success rate.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last many years (97% at 10 years - see the article here) with proper care. The implant itself, which integrates with the jawbone, is highly durable. However, the crown or other prosthetic attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help prolong the life of the entire implant structure.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, so patients typically experience little to no pain during the surgery. Some discomfort or swelling may occur in the days following the procedure, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Our dentist will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
How long does it take to get a Dental Implant?
Generally speaking, it takes a minimum of 3 months before your dental implant procedure is complete. This involves the placement of the implant into your jawbone and the crown which is typically screwed in on top. Bone grafting, sinus lifts, gum grafts and tooth extractions can all add more time to the total procedure.
