Dental implants represent a contemporary and highly effective method for individuals to
permanently restore both the natural aesthetics and functional confidence of their teeth. Leading
the charge in this transformative field is Dr. Dean Licenblat, a global authority in dental
implantology. Conducting implant surgeries daily at his practice in Sydney’s Martin Place, Dr.
Licenblat also shares his expertise by instructing dentists worldwide in this technique.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants act as replacements for the root portion of a missing tooth. Typically crafted from biocompatible titanium, dental implants are small screws surgically inserted into the gum and jaw bone. This material fosters the growth and integration of bone-forming cells onto the implant surface, facilitating a strong bond between the new bone and the implant. Dental implants are a versatile solution for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to various reasons, including injury, decay, or disease.

At Sydney Dental Aesthetics and Implants, we exclusively utilise premium, scientifically approved implant systems with a success rate exceeding 90%. Patients maintaining excellent oral hygiene can expect implants to last a lifetime, with documented cases of implants lasting over 40 years, underscoring their longevity and efficacy.

To make your experience more pleasant we also have onsite sedation available! Sleep dentistry offers numerous benefits for managing pain and anxiety during dental procedures, including:

  1. Enhanced Comfort and Reduced Anxiety: Patients can undergo treatment comfortably with minimised anxiety levels.
  2. Convenient Treatment Location: Procedures can be performed conveniently within our dental practice.
  3. Time and Cost Efficiency: Multiple treatments can be completed in a single session, saving both time and money.
  4. Perception of Shorter Treatment Time: Procedures may seem to take less time, and patients often have little to no memory of the process.

A variety of different dental implant options exist. Here at Sydney Dental Aesthetics and Implants, we offer three main types:

All-On-4TM

All-On-4TM offers a contemporary and cost-efficient approach to replacing a full set of teeth or dentures. By utilizing as few as four implants, this innovative method supports a full fixed bridge, providing immediate results at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional implant bridges. With All-On-4TM, patients can enjoy the benefits of new teeth in as little as a single day!

Titanium Dental implants

Titanium dental implants offer a conventional, enduring solution for replacing one or multiple missing teeth, renowned for their permanence and durability. These implants seamlessly restore both the form and function of your mouth, functioning just like natural teeth. Titanium implants have a high success rate and have been widely adopted as an effective way to replace missing teeth.

Zirconia Implants

Zirconia implants, also known as metal-free dental implants, signify a breakthrough in modern implantology, offering patients a “All-Ceramic” alternative for tooth replacement. This advancement allows individuals seeking a metal-free solution to replace missing teeth without compromise. At Sydney Dental Aesthetics & Implants, we understand and cater to the preferences of patients desiring an organic approach to dentistry. As pioneers in Australia, we specialise in pure, all-ceramic Zirconia implants. Dr. Dean Licenblat, our esteemed practitioner, possesses extensive expertise in this treatment, having conducted thorough research on Zirconia implants during his Master’s thesis at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. The findings from his research are currently undergoing publication in esteemed dental implant journals worldwide.
