Missing teeth don’t just affect your smile — they impact how you eat, speak, and feel every single day. They can quietly chip away at your comfort and confidence — making meals less enjoyable, speech less clear, and smiling something you avoid.
The good news? Dental implants can restore both function and confidence.
At Smile Life, getting dental implants in Leichhardt is a simple, supportive, and truly life changing experience. With expert care, natural-looking results and a team that listens, it’s time to smile like you again — for good.
Dental implants are small, strong titanium posts placed into your jawbone. They act as artificial roots to securely support a crown, bridge or denture — replacing one or more missing teeth. Because they look and function like natural teeth, implants help bring back your smile and your quality of life.
Here’s why patients love them:
Implant treatment is more straightforward than most people expect. It’s carried out with care and precision, often under local anaesthetic —or IV sedation if you choose.
Following your initial consultation with our Leichhardt dentist, here’s what the process for dental implants could look like.
Using a 3D CBCT scan and digital photography, we create a model of your teeth. This means your implant is expertly placed, so your new tooth blends in beautifully and functions like the real thing.
Following extraction, a small, titanium implant is placed with accuracy and care. This acts as the new root. If you’re feeling anxious, sleep dentistry is available to help you feel calm and supported throughout.
While your implant heals (usually 3-6 months), we can place a temporary tooth if the gap is visible. Your final crown is then handcrafted by a local technician and fitted over two visits once healing is complete.
Our care doesn’t end once your new tooth is in place. Our hygienist can help you keep your implant clean, healthy and looking great for years to come.
Sleep dentistry (AKA IV sedation) ensures a calm, comfortable experience for lengthy or complex procedures. If you struggle with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, sensitive teeth, or a low pain threshold, sleep dentistry could be the perfect solution.
Single dental implant cost starts from $6000 (includes implant placement and implant-supported crown). Your journey starts with a personalised consultation—where we’ll talk through all your options and your treatment plan, answer your questions, and give you a clear price upfront.
