Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Replacing Missing Teeth

One of the most popular and often the gold standard in replacing missing teeth is the provision of dental implants.

Dental Implants can be used to replace single teeth or multiple teeth. We use state of the art technology to include Guided Surgery – this means that we can plan the position of your dental implant precisely. Sometimes we can combine Implant Surgery with sedation and provide Tooth In A Day, Fixed Teeth In A Day or All-on-4 treatments which are truly life changing and often avoids the need for dentures.

We offer implants in Cherrybank Dental Spa. We have expert dentists and surgeons who use state-of-the-art imaging equipment to assess your bone levels. From there, they will decide if you are a suitable candidate for implant placement.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants consist of two parts:

  • A titanium post is implanted into the jawbone below the gum line
  • A porcelain restoration or false tooth is attached to the top of the implant

They act as permanent teeth once they have been fitted.

When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants are one of a number of options to consider, including:

For a full set of dental implants, you might want to try Fixed Teeth in a Day, which is also known as All On Four (Allon4).

The Dental Implant Process

Depending upon the overall plan, implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, stabilise dentures, or transition from failing teeth to an implant-supported bridge.

Once the titanium post has healed to your jaw, it has the strength of a real tooth. It is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Individual replacement teeth are screwed onto each implant, or a full arch of teeth is attached to the implants with the Allon4 or Fixed Teeth in a Day procedure.

Implants have a very high success rate over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful​?

The implant procedure at Cherrybank Dental Spa is carried out with your comfort in mind. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure you do not feel pain during the placement of the implant. Some patients may experience mild discomfort in the days following the procedure, similar to what you might feel after a routine extraction. Our team provides clear aftercare instructions and is always available to support you throughout the healing process.

How much are dental implants?

The cost of dental implants at Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed and the type of restoration. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, single dental implants start at £3,860. For more comprehensive treatments like All-on-4 full-arch implants, pricing is provided after a personalised consultation. To ensure that your ideal smile is within reach, flexible payment plans for dental implants are available to suit your budget and needs. For more detailed information, it’s best to schedule a consultation with our team at Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth to discuss your options.

Are dental implants permanent?

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants placed at Cherrybank Dental Spa are designed to last many years, often a lifetime. The implant itself fuses with the jawbone, creating a durable foundation. While the crown (the visible part) may need replacement after a decade or more due to normal wear, the implant post is intended as a long-lasting solution.

Can anyone get dental implants?

Patients with sufficient bone density and good oral health are typically candidates for implants. During your consultation, we’ll assess your suitability and discuss alternatives if needed.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or more, making them a highly durable solution.

Can smokers have dental implants?

Yes, smokers can have dental implants, but smoking can affect healing and the long-term success of the treatment. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we encourage patients who smoke to discuss their habits openly during the consultation. Our team can provide guidance and support, as well as outline steps to help improve healing and implant stability. We are committed to giving patients the information they need to make an informed decision.

Can I eat normally with dental implants?

Yes, once fully healed, dental implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat a wide variety of foods without discomfort or restrictions. Unlike removable dentures, implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, providing the strength and stability needed for biting and chewing. At Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth, we ensure that your dental implants are placed with precision and care to offer the best long-term solution for missing teeth.
Eating with Dental Implants: What to Expect

Immediately after surgery – Stick to soft foods like soups, yoghurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for a few days to allow for initial healing. It’s important to follow the guidance provided for a smooth recovery.

During the healing period – As the implant integrates with your jawbone (osseointegration), you may need to avoid very hard, crunchy, or sticky foods for a few weeks. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we will provide personalised instructions on maintaining optimal care for your new dental implants.

Once fully healed – You can enjoy all your favourite foods, including steak, apples, nuts, and crusty bread, without worry.

With proper care, dental implants restore full chewing capacity, making them one of the ideal long-term solutions for missing teeth.

Can I get multiple dental implants at once?

Yes, you can have multiple dental implants at once, and in many cases, it’s the most efficient and effective way to replace several missing teeth. At Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth, we provide a range of advanced solutions, including individual dental implants and full-arch techniques like All-on-4 or Fixed Teeth in a Day. These methods can use a small number of implants to support a complete set of teeth, helping to restore full function and appearance. Having multiple implants placed during one procedure can reduce overall treatment time and simplify healing. Your suitability will be carefully assessed during a consultation, taking into account your oral health, bone structure, and treatment goals. If you’re considering options for dental implants in Perth, we’re here to assist you in taking the next step.

What happens if I don’t get dental implants?

If you don’t get dental implants to replace missing teeth, the gap can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and misalignment. Over time, the jawbone beneath the missing tooth can begin to shrink due to a lack of stimulation, which may alter your facial appearance and make future dental treatments more complex. You may also experience difficulties with chewing, speaking, and overall oral function. In the long term, not replacing missing teeth can affect your oral health and quality of life.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

At Cherrybank Dental Spa, dental implants are recommended for patients who have one or more missing teeth and want a long-term solution to restore their ability to chew and speak comfortably. A good candidate will generally have healthy gums and enough bone density to support the implant. During your consultation, our team will carefully assess your oral health and create a tailored plan to ensure the most suitable outcome for your needs.

Can I have dental implants if I have bone loss?

Yes, even if you have experienced some bone loss, you may still be a candidate for dental implants. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we offer advanced solutions like bone grafting and use-guided surgery to place dental implants with maximum precision, even in more complex cases. If you’re in Perth and exploring your tooth replacement options, we’re here to help with professional care and tailored solutions.

Do dental implants look and feel like real teeth?

Yes, dental implants are designed to look and feel like real teeth. At Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth, we use advanced technology and high-quality materials to ensure that your dental implants are tailored to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This ensures a seamless and natural appearance. Moreover, because the implant is securely placed into the jawbone, it functions just like a regular tooth, providing a stable and comfortable bite.

At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we are committed to offering exceptional dental care in Perth, ensuring your implants provide durable results. With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, making them an excellent long-term solution for replacing missing teeth.

How do I know if I’m suitable for dental implants?

Suitability for dental implants depends on several factors, including your overall health, oral hygiene, and jawbone density. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we use 3D imaging and digital scans to assess your mouth in detail and determine the best approach for your case.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for dental implants?

To determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, ensuring you have healthy gums and no active gum disease, and assess the density of your jawbone to ensure it can support the titanium posts. Overall health is also important, as certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes can affect healing. Additionally, your dentist will consider lifestyle factors, such as smoking, which can hinder the healing process. Age is not usually a limiting factor, but your jaw should be fully developed (typically by age 18 for women and 21 for men). A thorough consultation with X-rays or 3D scans will help determine your suitability for implants and guide any necessary preparatory treatments, such as bone grafting.

What health conditions might prevent me from having implants?

At Cherrybank Dental Spa, your dental and overall health are carefully assessed before recommending implants. Certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, severe gum disease, or issues with bone density, may affect healing and the success of the procedure. Lifestyle factors such as smoking can also impact the outcome. During your consultation, the team will review your medical history and carry out detailed examinations to determine if implants are the right option for you.

What is the difference between All-on-4 and traditional dental implants?

All-on-4, also known as Fixed Teeth in a Day, involves placing four implants in strategic positions to support a full arch of teeth. It’s a quicker, often more cost-efficient tooth replacement option compared to traditional dental implants in Perth, which usually require an implant for each missing tooth. This method is particularly beneficial for patients who want immediate results and less invasive procedures. In contrast, traditional implant-supported bridge treatments may involve more implants and longer recovery times. For those concerned about dental implant costs, All-on-4 can offer significant savings. At Cherrybank Dental Spa, we also provide sedation dentistry to ensure a relaxed and comfortable experience throughout the procedure.

What are the benefits of dental implants compared to dentures or bridges?

Dental implants at Cherrybank Dental Spa provide a stable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures, which can shift during eating or speaking, implants are anchored securely into the jawbone, allowing you to eat and talk comfortably. Compared to bridges, implants do not require healthy neighbouring teeth to be altered or used as support, which helps preserve your overall dental structure. They also help maintain jawbone health by stimulating the bone, something dentures and bridges cannot do.
