Dental implants
Dental implants represent the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement, offering a modern solution that has been developed and perfected over four decades. These titanium fixtures serve as artificial tooth roots, providing the foundation for natural-looking, fully functional replacement teeth that can last a lifetime.
At next level dentistry, Dr Lazaris combines advanced 3D surgical planning with precision techniques to deliver exceptional implant outcomes. Whether you need a single tooth replacement or complete smile rehabilitation with All-on-4 immediate implants, our comprehensive approach ensures optimal aesthetics, function, and long-term success.
revolutionising tooth replacement
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium fixture, usually screw-shaped, that is surgically inserted into the jawbone to permanently replace missing or hopelessly damaged teeth. Through a remarkable process called osseointegration, the implant forms a biological bond with your bone tissue, essentially becoming part of your body.
Recent advances in 3D scanning technology and surgical techniques have revolutionised implant dentistry. Our powerful planning software creates a virtual model of your completed case and generates precision surgical templates that facilitate extremely accurate implant placement. In many cases, your implants and new teeth can be fitted on the same day.
Dr Lazaris has pioneered the use of All-on-4 immediate implant techniques in Sydney, providing patients with permanent, functioning teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants, often completed in a single procedure.
implant treatment options
From single tooth replacement to complete smile rehabilitation, our implant solutions restore natural function and aesthetics.
single dental implants
Individual titanium implants that replace single missing teeth with precision-crafted porcelain crowns, preserving adjacent healthy teeth and maintaining natural bone structure.
multiple implants
Strategic placement of multiple implants to replace several missing teeth with fixed bridges or individual crowns, restoring complete function and natural aesthetics.
all-on-4 immediate implants
Revolutionary technique that provides a complete set of permanent teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants, often completed in a single day.
all-on-x full rehabilitation
Comprehensive smile rehabilitation using 4-6 dental implants to support a full complement of permanent teeth, ideal for patients with extensive tooth loss or failing dentition.
Benefits
Experience the life-changing benefits of permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
permanent solution
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants provide a permanent tooth replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care, eliminating ongoing replacement costs and maintenance issues.
natural function and aesthetics
Implant-supported teeth restore near-natural bite strength and chewing efficiency whilst providing imperceptible aesthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
bone preservation
Implants stimulate jawbone tissue, preventing the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth and maintaining facial structure and support for long-term oral health.
immediate functionality
With our All-on-4 technique, patients can receive permanent, functioning teeth in a single procedure, minimising recovery time and maximising convenience.
How we work
Our meticulous approach combines advanced technology with surgical precision to ensure predictable, successful outcomes.
comprehensive assessment and planning
Every case begins with thorough clinical examination and 3D CT scanning to assess bone quality, quantity, and optimal implant positioning using advanced planning software.
precision surgical template creation
From your 3D scan data, we create precision surgical templates that guide exact implant placement, ensuring optimal positioning and angulation for long-term success.
comfortable surgical procedure
Using sedation dentistry and local anaesthesia, implants are carefully inserted using our precision guides. In immediate cases, provisional crowns are fitted immediately.
osseointegration and healing
Over 3-6 months, your bone forms a strong biological bond with the implant surfaces whilst soft tissues heal and contour around your new teeth.
final restoration placement
Once osseointegration is complete, your final precision-crafted porcelain crowns or bridges are fitted, completing your permanent tooth replacement.
all-on-4 immediate implants
Transform your entire smile with permanent teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants—often completed in a single day.
complete smile rehabilitation
Replace all upper or lower teeth with a complete set of permanent, natural-looking teeth supported by just four precisely placed implants.
immediate functionality
Leave our practice with functioning teeth on the same day as your implant surgery, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence immediately.
minimised treatment time
Unlike traditional implants that require multiple procedures over many months, All-on-4 provides permanent teeth in as little as one appointment.
suitable for most patients
This technique accommodates patients with significant bone loss who may not be candidates for traditional implants, providing hope for those who thought implants weren’t possible.
Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant itself integrates permanently with your bone, whilst the crown portion may need replacement every 15-20 years due to normal wear.
Are dental implants painful?
We provide comprehensive sedation dentistry and local anaesthesia to ensure complete comfort during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort, which is easily managed with anti-inflammatory medication and proper rest.
How long does the implant process take?
Single implants typically require 3-6 months for complete osseointegration before final crown placement. However, with our All-on-4 immediate technique, you can receive permanent functioning teeth in a single day.
Can I get implants if I have bone loss?
Our advanced 3D planning allows us to work with most bone conditions. The All-on-4 technique is specifically designed for patients with bone loss, utilising strategic implant angulation to maximise available bone.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Care for implants like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Long-term success depends on excellent oral hygiene and regular maintenance visits to monitor implant health.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a success rate exceeding 95% when placed by experienced practitioners using proper techniques. Dr Lazaris’s meticulous approach and advanced planning ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
