An Introduction to Dental Implants
Dental implants mimic the morphology of natural teeth, from the crown to the root – except with perhaps, stronger materials. Fabricated using titanium, these screw-like artificial teeth can completely restore your ability to chew, bite, and eat whatever you fancy after you’ve lost your natural teeth. They can be placed in the upper or lower jaw to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch with a natural-looking new tooth or bridge.
Dental implants at Good Choice Dental have given many patients new reasons to smile. We trust only the finest, most established names in the industry, most prominently DIO and MIS. These have been clinically proven to have greater success rates.
Dr Jie Lin supports our implant services with ongoing professional development and has completed advanced training in All-on-4 and full-arch immediate loading implant techniques, including live-patient surgical training provided by the California Implant Institute.
The Dental Implant Process
Dental implant surgery involves the placement of the screw portion of the artificial tooth deep into the jaw bone, underneath the gum.
Here, once it fuses with the surrounding bone, it acts as an anchor for the crown, and the complete fixture as a whole. Once the threads of the implant become integrated with the cells of the bone, it’s fitted with a porcelain crown that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth in the oral cavity. Because the procedure is invasive, we offer different sedation options suited for the individual needs of our patients
Our oral surgery team will advise on bone grafting where needed to support the implant. Good oral hygiene is essential throughout the process to protect your long-term dental health and the success of your tooth implant.
Benefits of Implants for Oral health
There are countless reasons why dental implant surgery is considered the best method of missing teeth replacement, over bridges and dentures. A few of the most prominent ones include:

Dental Implants Burwood – FAQs
Am I a candidate for dental implants in Burwood?
Most adults with sufficient jawbone and healthy gums are suitable for dental implants, which are often considered a reliable option for replacing missing teeth. Suitability is confirmed using 3D imaging and a comprehensive oral health assessment, delivered by our dental professionals as part of the comprehensive dental services available under one roof.
How long do dental implants last?
With effective oral hygiene habits and regular dental care, modern dental implants can last 15–25 years or longer. Studies show a 93–96% success rate at 10 years, with many implants still functioning well after 20 years. While the titanium implant itself can last decades, the dental crown may require replacement every 10–15 years due to normal wear, similar to restorations used in cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain veneers.
What is the dental implant process and timeline at your dental practice?
- Consultation and scans (Week 0): Your first appointment includes a full assessment, 3D CBCT imaging, and a written treatment plan completed using the latest dental technology at our Burwood dental clinic

- Healing phase (8–16 weeks): Bone integrates with the implant
- Final restoration (1–2 visits): Abutment and custom crown or bridge fitted
Typical timeframe is 3–6 months for straightforward cases, though additional procedures may extend treatment time as part of your overall dental treatment.
