Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile — they can also affect how you eat, speak, and feel day-to-day. At Stanley St. Dental, we provide high-quality dental implants for patients across Collingwood and Melbourne, offering a permanent, natural-looking solution to restore your confidence and oral function.
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or require a full-mouth restoration, our experienced team delivers tailored care in a comfortable and supportive environment.
What Are Dental Implants & How Do They Work?
Dental implants are titanium screws surgically placed into the jawbone to support dental crowns — although ‘dental implant’ can also be shorthand for the full three-piece structure of the implant, abutment, and crown. Whether you choose single-tooth dental implants or full-mouth dental implants (also known as All-On-4® treatment), this treatment is the closest you’re going to get to restoring your natural tooth roots.
Why titanium? Not only is it a virtually indestructible metal, but it’s surprisingly compatible with the body, triggering no immune reactions or inflammation. It also naturally bonds with bone (a process called osseointegration), ultimately integrating with the jawbone. The implant stands where the tooth root once stood, and so the jawbone treats it accordingly.
While dentures can be a fantastic, cost-effective solution, they lack the stability of dental implants, which replace the entire anatomy of the tooth. If it’s a case of dental implants vs dentures, implants will win almost every time, as they’re the most permanent solution for missing teeth.

Why Dental Implants Are the Best Solution
Dental implants offer superior results when compared to traditional solutions like dentures. Here’s why:
- Implants are more natural in appearance and feel — they’re rooted to your jawbone, so they sit like natural teeth. Dentures can feel a little fiddly as they rely on suction (in the case of full dentures) or metal clasps (in the case of partial dentures).
- Implants will never fall out mid-conversation or mid-chew. (That said, if your dentures are falling out, that’s a sign they’re warped or no longer a good fit for your mouth. You can resolve this issue by either fitting a new pair of dentures or relining your existing pair.)
- Implants preserve jawbone density and facial structure. Without tooth roots, the jawline begins to recede — but when you replace those roots with implants, the jawbone receives the stimulation it needs to hold its shape.
- Implants provide the strongest biting power of all dental prosthetics, as they replace the entire tooth anatomy rather than just the crown.
What Happens During a Dental Implant Consultation & During Implant Surgery?
In your consultation, we examine your teeth and gums, take X-rays or 3D scans, and assess your bone health before recommending the best treatment plan. If suitable, we’ll schedule your dental implant surgery at our Collingwood clinic.
The implant procedure has three major stages:
- Placement of the implant screw under local anaesthetic or sedation
- Healing period (3–6 months) for bone integration
- Placement of a natural-looking crown
We’ll ensure your comfort at every step and provide detailed instructions for a smooth recovery. Recovery time after dental implant surgery varies, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Collingwood?
The cost of dental implants in Collingwood depends on factors like the number of implants required, whether bone grafting is needed, and what type of restoration you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and sedation is available for nervous patients.
How long do dental implants last?
Implants should last you a lifetime, so long as you take good care of them. The crowns are resilient, too, requiring replacement only once every 10–20 years.
What’s the difference between dental implants and dentures?
Dentures are removable oral appliances containing prosthetic teeth, while implants are titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a crown. Dentures are a shorter-term solution for missing teeth, whereas implants are largely irremovable and permanent.
