Viewing dental implants before and after photos can help set realistic expectations about what treatment can achieve. Implants replace missing teeth with a titanium post and a custom-made porcelain crown, designed to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.
Treatment is planned using 3D imaging technology, which allows for precise placement tailored to your individual anatomy. Every case is different, and outcomes vary based on bone density, oral health, and overall case complexity.
At Macquarie Street Dental, you'll have the opportunity to view real patient cases during your consultation, giving you a clear and realistic picture of what treatment can involve.
Dental implant surgery is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so discomfort during the procedure is generally minimal. Dental implant surgery recovery usually involves mild soreness and swelling that subsides within 5–7 days. Pain tolerance varies between individuals, and we will recommend a personalised pain management plan to support your recovery.
With consistent oral hygiene and regular professional check-ups, the titanium implant fixture can remain stable for decades. The crown attached to the implant may require replacement over time due to natural wear, depending on the material chosen and individual lifestyle factors. Long-term stability depends on individual health factors, lifestyle habits, and commitment to ongoing dental maintenance – all of which our team will guide you through from day one.
Generally, suitable candidates for dental implants have adequate jawbone density, healthy gums, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions. Smokers and those with certain medical histories may face higher complication risks, but we will guide you through a thorough clinical assessment to know for sure. At Macquarie Street Dental, our clinical assessment includes 3D scanning to assess bone volume and overall suitability.
Published clinical research puts the long-term success rate for dental implants at 95–97%, making them one of the most predictable and well-documented procedures in implant dentistry. However, success is influenced by factors including bone density, oral health, lifestyle habits, and the experience of your implant clinician.
At Macquarie Street Dental, Dr Dunn brings more than 25 years and 3,000+ full-arch treatments to every case – combined with X-Guide® navigation technology for sub-millimetre implant placement accuracy.
Dental implant aftercare is straightforward and builds on habits you likely already have. Twice-daily brushing, daily flossing, and professional cleans every six months are the foundation of long-term implant health. Avoiding smoking and managing systemic conditions such as diabetes further supports implant stability over time. Our team at Macquarie Street Dental will provide tailored aftercare instructions specific to your treatment and individual needs.
