Dental Implants in the Sunshine Coast – Leading Treatment From an Award-Winning Clinic

We understand how distressing it can be to lose a tooth, which is why we're committed to providing high-quality dental implants for Sunshine Coast residents.

Dental implants mimic natural teeth, restoring smile aesthetics and improving the quality of life. Why not book an appointment to learn more from the experienced dentists at Townsend Family Dental and Implant Centre.

It can be tempting to ignore tooth loss, particularly if it doesn't occur in the visible smile line. The problem is that missing teeth can affect your bite, food choices and speech. Also, more reliance is placed on the remaining teeth when a tooth is missing, increasing the risk of premature wear and tear, leading to further damage and tooth loss.

By closing the gaps with dental implants, Sunshine Coast patients are future-proofing their smiles. Acting now can help you retain a confident smile for many years to come.

A dental implant is a titanium tooth root surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of a missing tooth. Over several months, the bone tissue surrounding the dental implant merges with the titanium root to become a permanent fixture in the mouth. 

Once this natural process, known as osseointegration, has occurred, the implant is topped with a dental crown to complete the restoration. As our Sunshine Coast dentist can colour-match a porcelain crown to the natural colour of the remaining teeth, it blends seamlessly into the smile for a natural-looking appearance.

Why do patients opt for dental implants in Sunshine Coast?
Dental implants are the preferred choice of tooth replacement because they look incredibly lifelike. Moreover, unlike other methods of tooth replacement, they don't slip, fall out or make a clicking noise when you talk, laugh, or eat. More importantly, they stimulate the bone, end bone loss, keep the facial structures intact, and can make a person look younger than their years. That's the beauty of dental implants!

Patients in Sunshine Coast can expect many benefits when they opt for dental implants. These include: 

• Long-lasting results
• Improved oral health
• Prevention of bone loss
• Restored bite force
• Retainment of facial structures
• Looks and feels like natural teeth
• Permanently fixed in the mouth

Our principal dentist, Dr Richard Townsend, is highly experienced in dental implants and has successfully placed hundreds of dental implants in the mouths of patients all around Sunshine Coast. 

He has invested in the latest technologies and services such as an OPG/CBCT machine that provides us with 3D scans to assist with complex dental implant planning. Our team can also offer sedation dentistry to help nervous patients relax during treatment. 

In addition, our dentist utilises high-quality dental implant brands, including NEOSS, Southern Implants and JD Implants, to provide patients with long-lasting results.

Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
