Complete Guide to Dental Implants in Logan: Everything You Need to Know

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They provide a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. At FB Dental, we help patients throughout Logan and Yarrabilba restore their smiles with high-quality dental implants.

The Implant Process

The dental implant process typically involves three stages:

• Initial consultation and treatment planning
• Implant placement surgery with local anaesthetic
• Crown attachment after healing period

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Prevent bone loss in the jaw
• Maintain facial structure and appearance
• Allow normal eating and speaking
• Last 20+ years with proper care

Are You a Candidate?

Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. We'll assess your oral health, bone density, and overall health to determine if implants are right for you.

Dental Implant FAQs

Implants vs dentures: which is right for me?

Implants are fixed in place and function like natural teeth, so there is nothing to remove and no slipping when you eat or speak. Dentures are removable and more affordable up front, and remain a good option for some patients. Many people choose implants for their stability and long lifespan, and we can also combine the two with implant-supported dentures. We will talk through what suits your situation and budget.

Implants vs bridges: what is the difference?

A bridge uses the neighbouring teeth as anchors to fill a gap, while an implant stands on its own in the jaw without altering the teeth either side. Implants also help preserve the jawbone over time. A bridge can be quicker and cheaper in the short term, so the best choice depends on the teeth around the gap and your long-term goals.

Are dental implants painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and most patients report far less discomfort than they expected, usually managed with simple pain relief afterwards. We focus on keeping you comfortable throughout, including options for anxious patients.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last 20 years or more, and often a lifetime. The crown attached on top may eventually need replacing, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution.
