Dental Implants Townsville Specialists – Dental Precinct

Dental implants are today’s standard of care when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Implants are designed to mimic the shape and function of natural teeth, making them beneficial for both your smile and your lifestyle.

Say goodbye to your missing teeth problems and hello to a perfectly full smile with dental implants in Townsville. Our experienced team of dentists provides affordable solutions for missing teeth.

Implants are biocompatible restorations that serve as artificial tooth roots. When installed, they can support a permanent restoration and are more durable than healthy teeth.

Since implants are set into the bone, they help preserve natural tooth spacing and are non-invasive to neighbouring teeth. When cared for properly, your new implant should last the rest of your life. Plus, they’re just as easy to maintain as the rest of your teeth.

Reasons to Replace Missing Teeth

Losing a tooth creates a gap in your bite. Over time, adjacent teeth start to tilt or shift due to the extra space. Replacing your tooth preserves normal spacing patterns, so that you’re less at risk for tooth wear, TMJ disorder, worn teeth, etc.

What to Expect During Implant Treatment

Getting dental implants does require a few separate appointments, since the prosthesis needs to integrate with your mouth. Usually, Dr. Vikram (Vik) Vasisht schedules the installation and restoration visits across the span of 3-6 months to allow for full healing and integration. The best part is that implants only require a small amount of local anaesthetic to numb your mouth and comfortably place them.

Types of Implants

At Dental Precinct we can use implants to restore one or all of your teeth. The restoration process is the final step to topping off your newly installed dental implants. Depending on your situation, you can choose between a crown, bridge, or implant supported denture.

Parts of a Dental Implant

Implant Fixture: Titanium screw placed in the jawbone.

Abutment: Connector between the implant and crown.

Crown: The visible part that looks like a real tooth (porcelain/ceramic).

Procedure Overview

Done in multiple stages over several months:

1. Initial Consultation & Imaging

Exam, X-rays, possibly a 3D scan (CBCT).

Bone quality and oral health are assessed.

2. Tooth Extraction (if needed)

3. Implant Placement Surgery

The implant post is placed into the jawbone.

Healing time: 3–6 months (osseointegration—bone fuses with implant).

4. Abutment Placement

After healing, the abutment is attached.

5. Crown Placement

A custom crown is placed on the abutment.

How Long Does It Take?

Full process: 3 to 9 months, depending on healing and any additional procedures (like bone grafting).

Bone Grafting (if needed)

If you’ve had missing teeth for a while, the jawbone may have deteriorated. A bone graft might be needed to rebuild the bone before the implant is placed.
