Tooth loss can occur for a number of reasons, including dental decay, gum disease, or accidental injury. While it’s not uncommon, losing a tooth may affect how you chew, speak, or maintain oral hygiene, and over time, it can lead to changes in your bite or neighbouring teeth. Replacing missing teeth can support both function and long-term oral health.
At Elite Dental Adelaide, we provide dental implant treatment options from our clinic in Stepney. Our practitioners have been supporting patients with their oral health since 2005, with dental implants incorporated into treatment planning since 2012.
If you’re considering dental implants in Stepney, we invite you to book a consultation with our experienced team to explore whether this treatment is right for you.
Dental Implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone. Over time, the implant bonds with the bone, providing a stable base for a prosthetic tooth such as a crown, bridge, or denture. This type of treatment may be suitable for individuals seeking a fixed solution to replace one or more missing teeth.
At Elite Dental Adelaide, we offer:
In suitable cases, we may be able to provide immediate final teeth for full-arch implant treatments, eliminating the need for temporary restorations. This will depend on your individual treatment plan and clinical assessment.
We use only TGA-approved implant systems from highly regarded global brands known for their innovation, clinical success, and lifetime warranty on the fixture itself.

A dental implant consultation is the first step in determining whether this option is suitable. Factors such as general health, jawbone density, and oral hygiene will be assessed to inform treatment planning.
Not every person is suited to implant treatment, and alternative options may also be discussed.
It’s important to consider the risks. Like any surgical procedure, dental implant treatment carries potential limitations. These may include infection, delayed healing, or implant failure. Our team will discuss these considerations with you during your consultation, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the benefits, risks, and possible outcomes before proceeding.
Dental implant treatment is a multi-step procedure that typically takes place over several months. Your journey will be carefully planned to ensure the best possible outcome, with each stage tailored to your individual needs.
Your first appointment involves a thorough examination of your oral health, medical history, and suitability for dental implants. Diagnostic tools such as 3D imaging, intraoral scans, and x-rays may be used to evaluate your bone density and identify the ideal position for implant placement.
During this phase, a small titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. This post acts as a replacement tooth root. Depending on your preferences and medical suitability, sedation options such as local anaesthesia or nitrous oxide may be discussed.
Following implant placement, the healing process begins. This stage (known as osseointegration) involves the implant gradually bonding with the surrounding bone. Some mild discomfort or swelling is normal in the early days and can typically be managed with pain relief and aftercare instructions provided by your dentist. Healing time varies but usually takes between 3–6 months.
Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a small connector (called an abutment) is attached to the implant. This will serve as the anchor for the final prosthetic tooth to match your natural teeth.
Regular check-ups are important after your implant is complete. These appointments allow your dental implant dentist to monitor the implant site, check the condition of the prosthetic, and ensure everything is functioning as expected. Ongoing maintenance and good oral hygiene are key to supporting the longevity of your dental implant.

Some patients may require preparatory procedures before their implants can be placed. This may include:
Your dentist will discuss these options with you if needed during the planning stage.
Restorative and preventive dentistry has been a key area of focus at Elite Dental Adelaide for many years. Our clinicians have been performing implant procedures since 2012, with a strong emphasis on careful planning, thorough diagnostics, and long-term oral health outcomes.
Our principal dentist, Dr Nitish Grover has over 20 years of experience in general dentistry and has incorporated dental implant treatment into his clinical scope for more than a decade. He is supported by Dr Sukhdeep, who brings more than 25 years of experience and a strong interest in periodontal care; an important consideration when assessing implant suitability and planning for long-term success.
Elite Dental Adelaide has been operating since 2005 and continues to grow with the support of a committed, experienced team. We use advanced digital imaging and treatment planning tools (including in-house CBCT scanning and CEREC technology) to assist in the design and fabrication of implant restorations.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors like the number of implants, complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments needed for comfort and long-term stability, such as sedation or bone grafting. The best way to know your cost is to book a consultation. Our registered dentists will assess your mouth, review your health records, create a personalised treatment plan, and go through costs and financing options.
We accept all private health insurance, are preferred providers for HCF, Westfund, and nib, and offer flexible interest-free payment options through Denticare, The Health Fund, Zip Pay, Zip Money, and, where eligible and necessary, payment through superannuation.
