Dental implants are titanium screws which are placed under anaesthetic into the jaw
These screws can be used to retain single tooth crowns or dentures. Dentists have to undergo further training to be able to carry out implant related procedures in their practice.
We also use our in house 3D X-ray machine for assessment of the bone before implant placement. This saves you an additional trip to a specialised radiology practice in the city. All procedures are carried in house.
In our practice, Dr Trilok Vallury is responsible for placing dental implants. He has a Graduate Diploma in Dental implants from Sydney University and has carried out over a thousand of these implant placements over the past 10 years. He is also a mentor for a number of implant related educational programs around Australia.
Dr Mark Earl who also has a Master of Science in Dentistry at the University of London and has been involved with implant dentistry since it’s inception in Australia in the 1980’s. He manages all complex implant restorations and helps a number of practitioner’s around Adelaide with management of implant complications .
Our practice works closely with a number of specialists around Adelaide for restoration of implants which need complex surgical procedures for placement. The crowns and dentures for these implants are made by some of the most advanced scanning techniques available in dentistry today by specialised laboratories around Australia.
