Dental Implants in Burwood
Missing one or more teeth and looking for a long-term solution in Burwood? At Dental 266, our dental professionals restore smiles with single tooth implants, implant-supported bridges and full-arch options such as All-on-4®. We use digital planning, CBCT imaging and guided dental procedures under local anaesthesia to maximise comfort and predictability—so you can speak, chew and smile with confidence.
Unlike removable dentures, a dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw bone to act as a new tooth root. Over time, it bonds with bone (osseointegration) and supports an artificial tooth (custom crown) or a fixed bridge. Implants help maintain oral health by preserving bone in the upper or lower jaw, and they don’t need to be removed at night.
The Reliable Centre for Dental Implants in Burwood and Sydney
Dental implants are surprisingly economical for the value they can bring to your life. Our patients who receive dental implants at our local trusted dental clinic in Burwood also typically report that the installation of these implants is quite comfortable overall, producing only mild and manageable swelling or sensitivity in the treated area.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth or multiple lost teeth. Once healed, it supports an artificial tooth (crown) or a fixed bridge that looks and feels natural. Compared to removable dentures, a tooth implant won’t slip and let you eat and speak comfortably—an effective, long-lasting solution to tooth loss.

Benefits of Dental Implant
Dental implants appear natural, hence reducing the adverse effects of social stigmas.
Dental implants won’t move like dentures do, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
Dental implants offer a great investment with a reasonable cost. With proper care, they can last a lifetime
Once osseointegration occurs, they become part of your jaw, so there’s no need to worry about removing dental implants at night.
Dental implants are easy to clean. You can brush or floss them as you would your teeth.
Compared to the cost of continually purchasing adhesives and cleaners for dentures, dental implants can spare you a great deal of hard-earned dollars in the long term.
Process of Getting Dental Implants at Dental 266
Step 2) Getting Your Dental Implant Installed
When you’re ready to receive your implants, call our dental centre and schedule an appointment lasting about one hour. Our dentist will numb your mouth with a local anaesthetic and make an incision through the gum to expose the jawbone. We will use a precision drill to create a small hole (or more for multiple implants) and then insert the titanium dental implants into your jaw.
Most of our Sydney patients find the process of receiving dental implants relatively comfortable. Some even admit to feeling less pain with them than with tooth extractions. Our dentist can prescribe a mild to moderate analgesic to relieve any swelling or pain from receiving dental implants.
Over the next three to five months after receiving your implants, a process called posse integration will occur within your jaw. Your body will grow new bone tissue around your dental implants to anchor them into place. The new implants will then become permanent parts of your body.
Step 3) Production and Issuance of Prosthetic Crown or Bridge
After a few months wherein the osseointegration of your dental implants is finally completed, you will return to your dentist at Dental 266 for a brief session to create a mould of your jaw and teeth. Our clinic will use your mould to manufacture a bridge or crown to sit on top of your dental implant.
Two weeks after your mould is made, you will return to our dental centre and be fitted with your newly minted crown or bridge. This crown or bridge will now be your new functional tooth/teeth. This means you can now enjoy eating all your favourite foods again – and comfortably show your new smile whenever you like!

How do I care for my Dental Implants
When you receive your dental implant from Dental 266 in Burwood, you’re going to love all of the benefits that come along. You’ll have a fuller smile and improved function with dental implants. You won’t have to deal with the discomfort that goes with learning to talk and eat with dentures.
What’s even better is that you won’t have to remove dental implants for cleaning at night — dental implants eventually and permanently become part of you. You can brush and floss them as if they were your own.
Our Sydney patients report comfort with dental implants. If you already exercise good oral hygiene habits, you won’t need to change anything when you receive dental implants.
Follow these words of encouragement to help you get the most out of your dental implants and preserve your new smile:
- Dental implants can’t get cavities, but that doesn’t mean you should be lax in your hygiene habits. Brush and floss them regularly.
- Anything that causes wear and tear on your natural teeth can scratch or break down your dental implants. Use low-abrasion toothpaste on them.
- Consider purchasing a water irrigation system to clean your dental implants more efficiently.
Can I Whiten My Dental Implants
If you still think your smile can use some touch-ups, you can safely use whitening treatments when you have your new implants. However, the treatment will not whiten your dental implants. Although it is possible to stain them, your dental implants will not stain at the same rate as your natural teeth. The following pointers can help you maintain your white smile and keep your dental implants looking great:
- If you’re unhappy with the colour of your teeth, consider having your dentist perform a whitening treatment before you get your dental implants. When creating crowns for your new implants, your dentist will match the shade of your dental implants to that of your teeth. If you whiten your teeth after having the crowns attached to your dental implants, the crowns will look more yellow than the rest of your teeth.
- Don’t smoke, and minimise your consumption of coffee, tea, and wine. Your natural teeth will stain much faster than your dental implants. If you don’t stay on top of your dental health, your teeth will become yellow while your dental implants remain white.
- It is possible to remove the crowns from dental implants and replace them with whiter crowns. However, doing so adds considerably to the cost of getting dental implants. If you decide that you’re unhappy with the shade of your teeth while already in the process of getting dental implants, then keep your temporary crowns for a while until you whiten your teeth. Keeping your temporary crowns doesn’t increase the cost of getting dental implants, and it helps you avoid the cost and inconvenience of placing new crowns on them later on.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
