Missing a tooth changes more than just the look of your smile. It can affect how you eat, how you speak, and over time, even the shape of your face. Adelaide dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution – and at Pasadena Dental & Implant Centre, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our team has the experience and expertise to help you find the right path forward.
A dental implant replaces both the root and the crown of a missing tooth. During treatment, a small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it gradually bonds with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached, creating a result that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are self-supporting. Each one sits independently within the jaw, so neighbouring teeth don’t need to be altered or relied upon for support. It’s one of the most complete tooth replacement solutions available in modern dentistry.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need to be replaced after 10–15 years, depending on wear, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during placement. Some soreness and swelling in the days following is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients find recovery much more straightforward than they expected.
The timeline varies, but from initial placement to final crown, the process typically takes several months. This allows time for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone before the permanent crown is fitted.
Possibly, yes, though long-term tooth loss can lead to bone deterioration, which may require a bone graft before implant placement. We’ll assess this during your Adelaide dental implant consultation and let you know exactly what’s involved.
