At Lane Cove Apple Dental, we are committed to providing you with excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes with dental implants and dental implant services.
Dental Implants are the ideal solution to replace missing teeth, not only do they look, feel and function as natural teeth, but the implant is placed in your jawbone and therefore helps to maintain the structural integrity and strength of your facial bone structure.

Dental Implants are made of medical-grade titanium that integrates naturally with your jawbone. This is then used as the foundation for a crown, bridge or denture. Dental Implants prevent bone deterioration and the replacement of teeth can help to prevent the loss of facial muscle elasticity as well as problems in the jaw joint due to the lack of support to your bite. Replacing teeth using Dental Implants will help rejuvenate your smile and return you to full function.
There are many varied options when it comes to the placement of your Dental Implant. Before undertaking implant treatment we will complete a detailed diagnostic phase to plan for the placement in the most precise way. Whether you are having one, or many implants, this treatment will offer you the confidence to smile and function for the many years to come.
Bone Grafting - In some cases a missing tooth or a chronic tooth infection may have caused a bony defect; an area where bone has been dissolved. The presence of a bony defect may limit your suitability to receive a dental implant and should this occur the only available treatment alternative may be a bone grafting procedure.
A bone graft is a surgical procedure to replace missing bone with material from your own body, known as autogenous bone. We can also utilise an artificial, synthetic, or natural substitute if required. The graft will ‘fill in’ the bony defect and help your body to regrow its own lost bone.
The grafting procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic and once the bony defect is prepared the bone or substitute bone is placed into the area to replace missing bone and regenerate the growth of new bone. The bone graft may be covered over with a membrane barrier to protect the site, encourage the growth of new bone and prevent the formation of fibrous scar tissue. Over time the bony defect will be reduced as newly formed bone replaces fills in the area.
