Dental Implants at Avenue Dental
A Way to Replace Missing Teeth
At Avenue Dental, we provide dental implants across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide — a way to replace missing teeth with results that look and function naturally. Whether it’s a single tooth, several, or a full-mouth restoration to move on from dentures, our experienced team will guide you through it. We offer a free implant consultation to look at your situation and talk through the options that suit you.
Please note: Dental implant treatment is a surgical procedure and, like any surgery, carries risks and is not everyone is a suitable candidate. A full examination and consultation with your dentist are needed to assess your suitability and to discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives for your individual situation. You can read more on our Treatment Risks page.
Are dental implants right for you?
People come to us about implants for all sorts of reasons. Often it’s one or more missing teeth they’d like replaced with something fixed. Just as often, it’s people who’ve had it with their dentures and want a solution that stays put. Whatever’s brought you in, the consultation is where we work out whether implants actually suit your situation, because they’re not the right answer for everyone, and we’ll tell you honestly if something else would serve you better.
Your free 60 minute consultation
Dental Implants are surgery, and surgery deserves a real conversation, so our free implant consultation is a full 60 minutes with one of our dentists. That’s deliberate. There’s a lot to talk through — your options, what the procedure actually involves, the risks alongside the benefits, healing, cost — and we’d rather you had the time to ask everything on your mind than feel rushed into a decision. You should leave understanding your choices properly, whichever way you end up going.

Sedation and Sleep Options
We know surgery makes a lot of people nervous, and the idea of being awake for it even more so. For patients who’d prefer it, we can offer IV sedation, and general anaesthetic (GA) at our Sunshine Coast practice, so you can be asleep for your treatment. Not everyone is suitable for sedation or GA — it depends on your health and a proper assessment — so it’s something your dentist will talk through with you and only recommend if it’s the right and safe choice for you. If it’s an option you’re interested in, bring it up at your consult and we’ll go from there.
Please note: Dental implant treatment is a surgical procedure and, like any surgery, carries risks and is not everyone is a suitable candidate. Outcomes vary from person to person depending on individual factors such as bone health, gum health, healing, and how implants are cared for over time. The information on this page is general in nature, is intended for adults, and is not a substitute for personalised advice. A full examination and consultation with your dentist are needed to assess your suitability and to discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives for your individual situation.

The Avenue Dental Experience
We take a patient-first approach to implants, and because it’s a surgical treatment, we plan every step carefully rather than rushing anyone through. Here’s how it usually goes:
Your journey starts with a proper sit-down – a full 60 minutes with one of our dentists. We take a thorough look at your oral health, talk through what you’re hoping to achieve, and work out whether implants are actually the right option for you. Sometimes they are; sometimes something else suits your situation better, and we’ll tell you honestly either way. This is also your time to ask anything at all — about the procedure, the risks, the timeline, the cost — so you leave genuinely informed rather than second-guessing.
If you decide to go ahead, the next stage is all about precision. Using 3D imaging and digital scans, we map out exactly where your implant needs to sit, taking into account your bone, your gums, and the teeth around it. This careful planning is what helps us work toward a result that looks natural and functions well.
On the day, your dentist places the implant into the jawbone using careful surgical technique. If you’re a suitable candidate and you’d prefer it, sedation options can be discussed beforehand so you’re as comfortable as possible. Like any surgery, there’s a healing period afterwards while the implant integrates with the bone, and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect, how to look after the area, and what’s normal during recovery.
Once the implant has fully integrated — which can take a few months, as everyone heals at their own pace — we fit your custom-made restoration. Depending on your case, that might be a single crown, a bridge, or a full-arch restoration, all designed to blend in with the rest of your teeth and restore how your smile works day to day.
Our support doesn’t stop once your restoration is in. We provide follow-up appointments and ongoing care to keep an eye on how things are settling and to support the longevity of your implants. Looking after them well — good hygiene, regular check-ups — makes a real difference to how long they last.
Looking after your dental implants
Here’s something people don’t always expect: implants might be artificial, but they still need looking after like the real thing. The crown on top won’t get cavities, but the gum and bone holding everything in place absolutely can run into trouble if they’re neglected – so the day-to-day care matters just as much as it does for natural teeth.
That means brushing and flossing properly around them every day, and keeping up your regular check-ups and scale-and-polishes so we can keep an eye on the gums and make sure everything’s staying healthy underneath. Well cared for, implants can last a very long time – but like anything, they do best when they’re maintained rather than forgotten about. Your dentist will show you exactly how to look after yours once your treatment’s complete.
Flexible payment plans
At Avenue Dental on the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, we understand that dental treatment can be difficult to fit into your budget, which is why we offer a range of different dental payment plan options.
