Dental Implants
Implants feel the most life-like and natural of all options available to replace missing teeth. They feel secure and stable, and you can bite and chew comfortably on them.
Tooth Replacement in Mirrabooka
Sadly, people lose their teeth for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes teeth fall out over time due to neglect of overall oral health. Other times, accidents happen, and teeth even get knocked out or damaged due to trauma. There is no need to stress if you’ve found yourself in either of these situations!
Here at Western Smiles Dental Care, we specialise in dental implants to help fill those gaps and bring your smile back to life.
Benefits of Dental Implants
When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants can help restore a smile and overall dental health. Some benefits include:
- No more gaps
- Protection of healthy jawbone
- Restored speaking ability
- Brighter, happier-looking smiles
- Permanent stability for your new tooth
- Cosmetic dental improvement potentially leads to increased self-esteem
- Safeguard existing teeth around dental implants
Dental implants serve as an incredibly ‘life-like’ version of regular teeth both function and feel. We provide optimal care and service to our patients in Mirrabooka and beyond to get their smiles back on track!

A person's eligibility for dental implants can be affected by a few different factors, including jawbone and gum health, age, facial development and risk factors.
Jawbone and Gum Health
Successful dental implants rely on healthy gums and jawbone to stay secure and functional. The titanium root of the implant naturally fuses with the jawbone and becomes a part of your mouth's anatomy.
Also, gum tissue adds support and protection for the implant roots and acts as a platform for the dental crown to rest upon. If you have low jawbone density or periodontal disease, your dentist may not recommend dental implants, or they may suggest pre-treatments––such as bone or gum grafting––to ensure the success of the implant.
Facial Development and Age
Implants require a firm foundation, so patients with fully developed jaws may not be eligible for dental implants, such as those under the age of 18. However, dentists can make this determination on a case-by-case basis.
Risk Factors
Patients with systemic diseases like Parkinson's, certain autoimmune diseases, and diabetes are at greater risk of infection or implant complications. People with bone deterioration diseases may also have implant complications.
