Dental Implants
Replacing a missing tooth or teeth has never been easier.
If you have a single missing tooth, missing teeth or dentures, you may wish to consider dental implants to restore the full use of your teeth and to create a happy, confident smile.
Dental implants consist of two components. The first is a biocompatable titanium fixture which is placed below the tissue and forms the “root” for the tooth. The secondary component supports the final replacement tooth. Once the tooth implant has been positioned by your dentist it will not move – you can brush your teeth and eat as normal.
The implant process is straightforward with little downtime involved. Your replacement tooth is created in our on-site laboratory by our advanced technical team.
Our co-location of services and team approach guarantees the perfection and precision of your dental implant.
Dental implants require the same care and attention as natural teeth and when looked after properly will last for life. We are confident you will be happy with the results and your smile will exceed expectations.
At Medland Dental we have been placing dental implants for patients in Brisbane, and around Australia, for more than 20 years with great success and patient satisfaction.
Implant procedures are especially relevant to denture wearers. Implant retention of dentures gives greater benefits over traditional dentures and patients tell us that their new teeth truly improve their lives! We are always delighted when our patients tell us they are able to bite into an apple or a juicy steak for the first time in years.
Replacing a single missing tooth with a dental implant is a straightforward process. It involves placing an implant in your missing tooth space and then attaching a crown to the implant. Your new crown is created in our integrated laboratory with your dentist and dental technician. The new crown looks like a beautiful, natural tooth and it will not move – you can brush your teeth and eat as normal. Unlike bridges, a tooth implant does not require your natural, often perfectly healthy adjacent teeth to be involved.

How long do implants last?
Dental implants that are cared for with regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups will last for many years without any problems. Many of our Medland patients have had their implants for over 20 years and they continue to be delighted with the results.
Is the procedure painful?
No. During the procedure the area around your new tooth will be anaesthetised and you will be offered relaxing nitrous oxide gas to create a comfortable and relaxing experience. Some mild tenderness around the new tooth may be felt for a day or two following the procedure.
Do they function like natural teeth?
Yes. With a tooth implant, you can apply the same chewing and biting pressure as natural teeth without any discomfort or movement. Your teeth will look and feel great.
