FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
When Should You Visit the Dentist for a Dental Implant Consultation after Having Your Tooth Extracted?
This varies from person to person and is determined by various factors. If enough healthy jawbone is present, it may be possible to place a dental implant on the same day a tooth is extracted in some circumstances.
In most cases, however, an implant dentist will advise waiting 3 to 6 months after a tooth extraction before a patient can have the initial consultation for a dental implant to allow the site to recover appropriately. But, if someone waits any longer, they will face more significant bone loss in the jaw (which naturally occurs when a tooth is removed). After a certain time, the jaw may become too thin or weak to support an implant. In such situations, a bone graft may be indicated to strengthen the jaw and prepare it for dental implant placement.
Getting dental implants is a time-consuming, multi-step process. But the advantages outweigh the drawbacks. You’ll not only have a healthy, natural-looking smile but one that will last a lifetime.
What Should You Ask During a Dental Implant Consultation?
Choosing the appropriate dentist to perform your dental implant surgery requires the same amount of effort and thinking as choosing a new home or a new car. You only want to trust the best of the best with the future of your oral care.
During your dental implant consultation, ask the following questions to ensure you choose a dentist with the skills and experience to do your smile justice.
Is my mouth in good enough condition for dental implants?
The ideal candidates for dental implants are looking for a more permanent and long-lasting replacement tooth alternative than ordinary dentures. This includes the willingness and ability to commit to the multi-step surgery and recovery process for several months. However, not everyone fits the requirements for implants. Due to the sheer intrusive nature of the dental implant treatment, your mouth must be in good enough condition to support the implants.
What will be involved in my treatment plan?
Your implant surgery will be tailored to your specific oral care requirements by your dentist. If you only need implants to replace a single lost tooth, for instance, your treatment plan will be more streamlined than if you need full mouth reconstruction.
The following are the most prevalent components of implant treatment planning:
- Damaged tooth extraction
- Treatment for gum disease
- Using bone grafts
- Dental crown
- Implants are used to restore lost teeth.
- A dental bridge that spans implants replaces multiple teeth at the same time.
As you learn more about your implant treatment procedure, don’t be afraid to ask questions and get clarity.
What are my payment options?
The best dental implants aren’t inexpensive, but the outcomes are worth far more than the cost. However, you must be aware of the potential costs and plan accordingly. We accept all Health Funds, insurance policies that cover the price of dental implants, and other financial options at Maylands Dental Centre so that you can afford the surgery that will restore your confident, attractive smile.
What implant technologies do you use?
Our dental clinic’s modern technology ensures that all dental implants are implanted with high precision using the least invasive treatments. A full upper arch is produced and installed within five weeks following implant implantation to imitate the same feel, function, and appearance of your natural, healthy gum line and teeth.
How do I prepare for dental implant surgery?
Preparation for implant surgery varies from patient to patient, so it’s essential to ask your dentist what you should expect.
Not all implant patients require preliminary procedures. However, the following are the most common:
- Tooth extractions are procedures that remove old, broken, or decayed teeth to make way for implants.
- Bone grafting strengthens and thickens your jaw bone, allowing the implants to stay firmly in place.
- Gum disease treatment addresses gingivitis and periodontal disease to ensure your gum tissue is healthy enough to receive implants.
Tooth extractions are relatively quick and only take around ten days to heal. On the other hand, bone grafting is a primary oral surgery treatment that may necessitate up to a year of recovery before implant surgery can commence.
Will my dental procedure be painful?
Dental implant surgery is performed in a series of steps. Anesthesia is required for this form of oral surgery. You and your dentist will decide whether to use local anesthetic, sedation, or general anesthesia. You will not feel any pain when your dentist pulls old, broken teeth and inserts titanium screw implants into your jawbone. This is the quickest phase of the procedure! Your dentist will only need a few hours to put the titanium implants into your jawbone. You will not feel any discomfort as a result of the anesthetic. The length of the surgery is determined by the number of implants you receive.
How long does it take from start to finish?
The dental implant invasive procedure takes time, but the results are well worth the wait. Since implant procedure is a multi-step process, it usually takes three to six months to complete.
- All teeth to be replaced with implants will be extracted.
- Implant insertion into bone tissue
- While the implants merge entirely with the jawbone, there is a period of recovery (this takes months).
- Abutment and crown placement.
If you require bone grafting surgery before implant implantation, the process may take longer.
How much do implants cost?
This is a challenging topic since the answer is dependent on your situation. You will learn more about your individual needs after receiving this response. Your dentist will be able to provide you with a more exact estimate of your operating expenses.
The dental implant cost is determined by several specific factors, including:
- Bone quantity, quality, and placement.
- The number of dental implants needed to support the teeth.
- The number of teeth that need to be replaced.
- The type of prosthetic teeth that the dentist will use.
- The various types of dental implants that are used.
- During your initial consultation, you can discuss this with your dentist.
What are the possible risks of the surgery?
Dental implant surgery, like any other operation, carries some health risks. However, problems are uncommon, and when they do arise, they are usually minor and easily addressed. Risks include:
- Infection at the location of the implant.
- Injuries or damage to nearby structures, such as other teeth or blood vessels.
- Nerve damage can result in discomfort, numbness, or tingling in your natural teeth, gums, lips, or chin.
- When dental implants implanted in the upper jaw intrude into one of your sinus cavities, you may experience sinus difficulties.
What can I expect during the recovery period for a dental implant?
The recovery process for dental implants is unique in that it happens in stages. Following the placement of your implants, the most critical stage of healing occurs. This is called osseointegration, which is the process through which the jawbone fuses with each titanium implant. Because of the implant’s biocompatible substance, the bone will grow into it and accept it as a permanent part of the body.
The complete healing process takes a few months, but as long as you follow your dentist’s recovery guidelines, you won’t be in pain or discomfort.
Many healing tips and procedures will be recommended by your dentist, including:
- Do not smoke, as nicotine constricts blood vessels and stops oxygen and nutrients from reaching soft tissue.
- Maintain proper dental hygiene.
- Consume soft foods.
- Physical exercise should be limited.
- Return 1-2 weeks after treatment for a post-operative dental appointment.
Who Performs Dental Implant Consultation?
The oral surgeon will check the patient’s teeth, gums, and overall oral health during a consultation. The oral surgeon will review the patient’s medical history. They will assess the patient’s bone density and quantity since a dental implant process cannot be performed unless enough healthy bone remains from where the patient’s tooth was taken. A patient with insufficient bone volume may require a bone graft before receiving a dental implant.
During your dental implant consultation, ask the following questions to ensure you choose a dentist with the skills and experience to do your smile justice.

Your implant surgery will be tailored to your specific oral care requirements by your dentist. If you only need implants to replace a single lost tooth, for instance, your treatment strategy will be more streamlined than if you need full mouth reconstruction.
The following are the most prevalent components of implant treatment planning:
- Damaged tooth extraction
- Treatment for gum disease
- Using bone grafts
- Crowns on existing teeth with repairable damage
- Implants are used to repair lost teeth.
- A dental bridge that spans implants replaces multiple teeth at the same time.

Will You Need Bone Grafting Before Dental Implants?
If your jawbone is too thin or too soft, bone grafting may be required before you have dental implant surgery. That’s because your mouth’s chewing action puts a lot of strain on your bone, and if it can’t support the implant, the procedure will most likely fail. A bone graft can provide a more stable foundation for the implant.
A variety of bone graft materials can be utilised to repair the jawbone. A natural bone transplant, such as one from another part of your body, or a synthetic bone graft, such as bone-substitute material that can offer support structures for new bone growth, are two options. Consult your dentist about an effective solution for you.
It may take several months for the transplanted bone to regenerate enough to sustain a dental implant. In some circumstances, minimal bone grafting may be required, which can be performed simultaneously with the implant operation. Moreover, the condition of your jawbone determines how you proceed.
How Much Does Dental Implant Consultation Cost?
The cost of dental implants will vary depending on various factors, including the number of teeth that need to be replaced and whether a bone transplant or sinus lift is required. In Western Australia, the initial dental implant consultation cost is typically around $65. However, at Maylands Dental Centre, we provide a free consultation to see if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
