Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth by providing a stable foundation within the jawbone.
A titanium implant is placed into the bone where the natural tooth root was previously located. During healing, the bone gradually integrates with the implant, helping create a secure base for the replacement tooth.
Once healing is complete, the dental implant can support a crown, bridge or full-arch restoration depending on how many teeth need to be replaced.
Dental implant surgery involves more than simply placing an implant. The position of the bone, gums, neighbouring teeth, nerves and sinuses all need to be considered before treatment begins.
Dr David Willis is both a Medical Doctor and Dental Surgeon with more than 20 years of oral surgery experience. His work includes dental implant placement, bone grafting and other surgical procedures that may form part of implant treatment.
The most suitable dental implant treatment depends on how many teeth are missing, where they are located, the amount of available bone and the type of final restoration required.

Yes. Dental implant treatment requires careful assessment of the jawbone, gums, bite and surrounding anatomical structures before surgery is planned.
Dr Willis combines medical and dental training with extensive oral surgery experience, allowing dental implant cases to be assessed from both a restorative and surgical perspective.
Dental implant placement often takes place close to structures such as nerves and sinuses.
3D imaging can be used to assess bone volume, surrounding anatomy and the available space for a dental implant before treatment begins.
Some patients may require additional procedures such as bone grafting before or during dental implant treatment. These factors are assessed as part of the initial treatment plan.

Missing or failing teeth can affect chewing, comfort and the surrounding teeth and bone. A dental implant consultation helps determine whether an implant is suitable and what other treatment may be required.

Every dental implant treatment starts with an assessment. Dr Willis will examine your teeth and gums, review your medical and dental history and may recommend 3D imaging to assess the jawbone and surrounding structures.
If a dental implant is suitable, your treatment plan will explain the proposed implant position, whether any additional procedures are required and what to expect during treatment and recovery.
The dental implant is placed into the jawbone in the planned position. Where appropriate, digital planning or guided implant techniques may be used to assist with placement.
After surgery, the implant is given time to integrate with the surrounding bone. The healing period varies depending on the implant site, bone quality and any additional treatment performed.
Once the implant is ready, it can support the planned crown, bridge or full-arch restoration to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
Recovery after dental implant surgery varies depending on the number of implants placed, whether bone grafting was required, the complexity of the procedure and the type of anaesthetic used.
Some swelling, tenderness and minor discomfort can be expected during the early stages of healing. Dr Willis will provide clear post-operative instructions and arrange follow-up where required.
Dental implants require regular care to help maintain the gums and bone around them.
To help look after your dental implant:
Brush twice daily with a soft or electric toothbrush.
Clean carefully between the implant and surrounding teeth.
Attend regular dental reviews and professional cleans.
Follow the hygiene advice provided by your dental team.
The crown, bridge or prosthetic teeth attached to dental implants may require maintenance or replacement over time, even when the implant itself remains stable.
