Dental Implants in Strathfield
Missing teeth can make it hard to smile, chew or feel confident in social situations. Dental implants are a long-term way to replace gaps so your teeth look and feel more like your own again.
At Smile ConfiDENTAL, Dr. Mathew Elias offers guided dental implants designed to be accurate, comfortable and efficient. If you’re unsure whether implants are right for you, Dr. Elias offers free implant consultations so you can get clear answers and costs before you decide.
What Are Dental Implants and How Does the Process Work?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that sits in the jawbone and acts like a new tooth root, with a custom crown placed on top later. Dr. Elias mainly uses BioHorizons implants, a well-known brand backed by strong research and long-term results. He places implants with a guided surgery system, which uses detailed scans and a custom-made guide to position the implant in the ideal spot; this helps make treatment more precise, quicker and usually more comfortable than freehand placement. For a single implant, placement usually takes about 30-60 minutes under local anaesthetic only, and sedation is rarely needed. After the implant has healed for about 3-4 months, you return to have your final crown fitted.
Is a Dental Implant Right for You?
Dental implants can be a great option if you want a fixed, natural-feeling replacement instead of a plate or denture. They may help if you:
- Have a single missing tooth or a few gaps
- Struggle with a loose or uncomfortable denture
- Need many teeth replaced and are considering a full arch solution
- Want to avoid wearing a removable plate if possible
For front teeth, Dr. Elias can sometimes place a temporary crown on the same day as surgery when conditions allow, so you’re not left with a visible gap. For full-arch cases with four or more implants, he can have a temporary bridge ready and fit it on the same day as your surgery so you leave with fixed teeth.
Comfort, Healing and Long-Term Care
Dr. Elias focuses on making implant treatment as smooth as possible. Guided placement, gentle local anaesthetic and modern tools help keep appointments efficient and comfortable. In suitable cases he may use PRF (platelet‑rich fibrin), a process where a small amount of your blood is spun in a machine to create a concentrated healing membrane that can support recovery around the implant site. Once your crown is on, you brush and floss the implant like a normal tooth and come in for regular professional cleans and checks at Smile ConfiDENTAL to keep the gums and bone healthy.
