WHAT CAN HAPPEN OVER TIME?
What Can Happen When a Tooth Is Missing?
A missing tooth doesn’t always cause immediate problems. However, changes can occur over time that may affect your oral health and quality of life.
Nearby Teeth May Shift
Teeth next to the gap may gradually move or tilt into the available space.
Changes to Your Bite
Movement of surrounding teeth can affect the way your upper and lower teeth meet.
Bone Changes Can Occur
The jawbone in the area of a missing tooth can gradually change after tooth loss.
Chewing May Be Affected
Depending on the location and number of missing teeth, chewing certain foods may become more difficult.
Oral Health May Be Affected
Hard-to-clean areas may increase the risk of gum problems and decay.
Not every missing tooth needs to be replaced in the same way. A dental assessment can help determine whether treatment is recommended and which options may be appropriate for you.
Early assessment can help protect your oral health and keep more treatment options open for the future.

MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION
Dental Implant Risks & Considerations
Dental implants are generally safe and successful, but there are factors to consider.
Surgical Procedure
Implant treatment is a surgical procedure and carries risks.
Healing Varies
Healing times and outcomes vary from person to person.
Bone & Gum Health
Additional treatment may sometimes be required.
Individual Factors
Health conditions, medications and lifestyle choices can affect suitability.

Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential for long-term success.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Individual suitability, treatment requirements, healing times and outcomes vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Dental implant placement is performed using local anaesthetic to help keep you comfortable during the procedure. Some discomfort during healing is normal, and we’ll provide personalised aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Suitability depends on several factors, including your oral health, bone support and general health. A consultation allows us to assess your individual circumstances and discuss appropriate treatment options.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and ongoing maintenance, dental implants are designed to provide long-term function. Longevity varies between individuals.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost depends on the number of implants required, the complexity of treatment and whether additional procedures are needed. We’ll provide a personalised treatment plan and fee estimate during your consultation.
What is the recovery time after implant placement?
Healing times vary depending on the individual and the treatment provided. We’ll explain what to expect and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
Can dental implants replace more than one tooth?
Yes. Depending on your needs, implants may support single crowns, implant-supported bridges or other restorative options. We’ll discuss suitable solutions during your consultation.
Will my dental implant look natural?
Implant restorations are custom-made to complement the colour, shape and appearance of your surrounding teeth, aiming for a natural-looking result.
What if I don't have enough bone?
Some patients may require additional treatment before implants are suitable. Your consultation and imaging will help determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
How do I care for dental implants?
Dental implants should be cared for much like natural teeth, with daily brushing, cleaning between teeth and regular dental visits to help maintain healthy gums and surrounding tissues.
Can smokers have dental implants?
Smoking may affect healing and the long-term success of dental implants. We’ll discuss any relevant factors during your consultation and provide personalised advice.
What are the alternatives to dental implants?
Depending on your situation, alternatives may include dental bridges or removable dentures. We’ll explain the advantages and considerations of each option to help you make an informed decision.
How do I book an implant consultation?
Simply call (03) 5441 4441 or book online to arrange your consultation with Dr Amna Noreen and the Clarity Dental team.
What are full-arch dental implants?
Full-arch treatment replaces a whole upper or lower jaw of missing teeth with a fixed set of teeth supported by dental implants — in many cases as few as four, depending on your bone and your individual circumstances. Unlike a denture, the teeth are fixed in place and are not taken out at night.
Am I suitable for full-arch implants?
Suitability depends on your general health, the condition of your jawbone and the health of your gums. Some people are suitable straight away, some need preparatory treatment first, and for some a different option is a better fit. We assess this at your consultation using an examination and imaging, and we will give you an honest answer either way.
How long does full-arch treatment take?
Timeframes vary from person to person. Treatment is staged over several months while the implants integrate with the bone, and in many cases a temporary fixed set of teeth can be worn during that time. Your expected timeline is set out in your personal treatment plan before treatment begins.
How much do full-arch implants cost?
The fee depends on how many implants are needed, whether any preparatory treatment is required and the materials used, so we do not quote a figure before examining you. You will receive a written treatment plan with itemised fees before anything begins, and we can go through payment options at the same time.
