Dental Implants in Bankstown
Looking for dental implants in Bankstown? If you are missing a tooth or find your denture uncomfortable, a dental implant may be an option to replace the missing tooth. At Memon Dental Care in Bankstown, we assess whether dental implants suit you and plan your treatment around your needs. Dr Mohammed Sohail Memon is a general dentist with advanced training in prosthodontics (MDSc) and a PhD in jaw function, and he brings this training to implant planning. Every treatment depends on your oral health, and we will explain your options before you decide.
A dental implant replaces the tooth root with a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, and a crown is attached on top. Because the implant sits in the bone, it can help support the jaw and the surrounding teeth, and many patients find it comfortable to eat, speak and smile with. Not everyone is suitable for implants, so we start with a thorough dental check-up at our clinic at Suite 1, 1 Jacob Street, and we can also arrange a tooth extraction
Our Dental Implant Treatment Process in Bankstown
- Every implant treatment at our Bankstown clinic follows a step-by-step process, and here is what to expect:
- Comprehensive consultation and digital X-ray to assess your jawbone and suitability for implants
- Personalised treatment planning tailored to your oral health and goals
- Placement of the titanium implant post under local anaesthetic
- A healing period to allow the implant to fuse securely with the jawbone (osseointegration)
- Fitting of the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture onto the implant
- Final review to confirm fit, function and a natural-looking result
Before treatment begins, we always conduct a full dental check-up to assess your overall oral health. Furthermore, we recommend our preventive dentistry services to protect your remaining teeth and support the long-term success of your implant.
Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Dentists place dental implants under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Many patients find the procedure comfortable. Some mild swelling or discomfort afterwards is common and usually settles within a few days. If you feel anxious, tell us, and we will explain each step.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Many healthy adults with enough jawbone are suitable for dental implants. Gum disease, smoking and bone loss can affect suitability. Our Bankstown team will assess your mouth, including X-rays, before we recommend implant treatment.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The full process, from placement to the final crown, often takes several months because the implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone. Timelines vary with your healing and your treatment plan. We will give you a clear timeline at your consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
With good care, dental implants can last many years. How long they last depends on your oral hygiene, general health,h and regular dental visits. We recommend ongoing dental check-ups at our Bankstown clinic so we can monitor your implant and the teeth around it.
How do dental implants compare with dentures or a bridge?
A dental implant replaces the tooth root, while a denture or bridge sits on the gum or attaches to neighbouring teeth. Each option has advantages and limits, and the right choice depends on your oral health, your goals and your budget. Our team can talk through the options with you so you can decide.
Is dental implant treatment covered by health funds?
Some health funds provide partial cover for implant treatment under major dental or extras cover, but this varies between providers and policies. Check with your fund before your appointment, and call our Bankstown team on 02 9893 9044 so we can explain the treatment and costs involved.
What happens if I do not replace a missing tooth?
When a tooth is missing, nearby teeth can drift, your bite can change, and the jawbone in that area can gradually shrink. These changes can lead to other dental problems over time. Talk to your dentist early so you can discuss your options.
Do I need a referral for dental implants?
No, you do not need a referral. Book directly with Memon Dental Care in Bankstone, WA, and our team will assess whether implants suit you and discuss your treatment options.
