Implant planning starts with a cone beam CT scan taken here in Croydon, so you are not sent to a separate imaging clinic. The implant heals into the bone over roughly three to six months before the crown goes on, and we handle the restorative phase in-house.
Read about dental implantsA crown caps a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or weakened after root canal treatment. For suitable teeth we scan, design and mill a ceramic crown in the practice, so it is fitted in one visit with no temporary. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth either side of the gap.
Read about crowns and bridgesFull and partial dentures are made on site at the Croydon practice, from impressions of your mouth. Partials can be acrylic or cobalt-chrome, which is thinner and more rigid. If an existing denture has gone loose, it can be adjusted or relined.
Read about denturesWhitening is available in the chair or as a take-home kit with custom trays. It lifts staining in natural enamel but will not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings. Veneers and composite bonding change shape and proportion, and you get a written plan with costs before anything starts.

An implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone to carry a crown where a tooth used to be. What actually decides whether one will work is not the tooth that is missing, it is the bone underneath it. Bone starts shrinking from the month a tooth comes out, so someone who lost a molar two years ago and someone who lost one fifteen years ago are two very different cases even though the gap looks identical in the mirror.
That is why the assessment starts with a cone beam CT scan, which is on site here rather than at a radiology clinic you would have to drive to separately. It shows how much bone height and width you have, and exactly where the nerve canal and sinus sit, which a standard x-ray cannot. If there is not enough bone, bone grafting comes first and the timeline lengthens. Better to hear that at the start than halfway through.
From the scan we plan the placement digitally and use guided implant surgery so the position matches the plan. Where several teeth or a full arch are involved, All-on-4 and implant-retained dentures are the alternatives worth comparing, because replacing every tooth individually is rarely the sensible answer.
Implant treatment runs over months rather than weeks, with healing time between stages, so the short trip down Canterbury Road matters more than it would for a one-off appointment. Full detail is on our dental implants page.
We are preferred providers at the top tier with Medibank, BUPA, HCF and NIB, which those funds call Members Choice Advantage, Members First Platinum, More For Teeth and First Choice. We are also preferred providers for CBHS, GMHBA, Australian Unity, Westfund and more. The effect is the same: higher rebates and less out of pocket.
