You deserve to eat, speak and smile with confidence.

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.

We’ll take your worries

More than a new tooth — it’s about feeling like you again.

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:

  • They look, feel, and function like real teeth
  • Eat, speak, and smile naturally again
  • Protect existing teeth — while restoring what’s missing
  • Feel secure — dental implants have a long-term success rate over 90% 
  • With proper care, they may last a lifetime

"[Dr Walsh] gave me a very frank and objective assessment of my situation and options, and instead of trying to push any kind of treatment onto me, which I came in feeling a bit apprehensive about, encouraged me to consider other options which might be better suited to my needs."

Dental implants procedure: Simple, supported, step-by-step.

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.

Book now

Step 1
Precision planning.

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.

Step 2
Gentle procedure.

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.

Step 3
Time for healing.

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.

Step 4
A smile for life.

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.

At Smile Life, your happiness is for good

Relax and drift away with dental sedation.

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.

Your questions, answered with a smile.

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made from titanium, placed into the jawbone to hold a crown (artificial tooth), bridge or denture. Implants can replace one or a few missing teeth, but the best part is that they look and function like natural teeth—restoring confidence like nothing else. 
How long do implants last?
The titanium post can last a lifetime with proper care. However, the crown may need to be replaced every 5-15 years, due to normal wear. With regular check-ups at your Leichhardt dentist and good oral hygiene, implants can last for 20 years or more.
Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?
Whether you’re a good candidate depends on several factors, including your general health, jawbone density, gum condition and lifestyle habits. During your consultation, we’ll assess these factors to discover if this treatment is the right choice for you. Book your consult now.
How much are dental implants in Leichhardt?
In Leichhardt, the cost of a single tooth implant can range from $3,000 to $7,000. Price can vary depending on things like the complexity of your treatment and whether other dental services are needed, the materials used, and your dentist’s expertise.
What payment options do you offer?
We know dental implants are a big decision — and we want to make paying for them easier. We offer on-the-spot rebates for all major health funds, plus a range of flexible payment options, including interest-free instalments.
Are implants painful?
The dental implant surgery is done under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel any pain. Afterward, you may have some mild discomfort, swelling or bruising, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and proper aftercare.
