Byron Bay Tooth Replacement
Surgical tooth replacement may be recommended when a missing or unsalvageable tooth affects chewing function, alignment, or jawbone stability. At Bytes of Byron – Bio Holistic Dentistry, we offer ceramic implant placement at our Byron Bay and Lennox Head clinics as part of our surgical services.
Every implant procedure is planned using diagnostic imaging and a full clinical review to assess bone volume, gum health, and suitability for surgery. When bone density is insufficient, bone grafting may be considered to provide additional support. Implant placement is a surgical procedure that requires careful pre-operative planning and post-operative follow-up, particularly in cases where multiple teeth are missing or where surrounding structures are compromised.
This service is distinct from cosmetic enhancements, as its focus is functional restoration and long-term oral stability. The goal is to re-establish the role of the natural tooth in supporting bite pressure and preserving bone, while using materials aligned with holistic and biologic dental care. To book a surgical consultation or learn more about your tooth replacement options, call (02) 6680 8066.
Understanding Dental Implants
A dental implant is a device that is used to replace the root portion of a missing tooth or missing teeth. Dental implants are used to support natural-looking teeth and enable patients who are missing some or all of their natural teeth to smile, speak with confidence and chew their food more comfortably.
Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes. Implants are constructed from materials that are compatible with the tissues of the body. The most common type of dental implant that is placed into the jaw bone is the threaded titanium cylinder.
Dental implants are also available as non-threaded, non-tapered cylinders and as non-threaded, tapered cylinders. The type of implant used is decided upon by the surgeon and depends on the location in the jaw that the implant is needed, and the forces that the implant will encounter. For questions about surgical tooth replacement, or to book an assessment, contact (02) 6680 8066.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between surgical implants and cosmetic implants?
Surgical implants refer to the placement of a post into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Cosmetic implants generally describe the visible portion—such as a crown—that improves appearance. While both are part of the implant process, the surgical phase focuses on structural integration and long-term function.
How long does the implant process take?
The full process—from placement to restoration—can take several months. Healing time for osseointegration varies but is typically between 3 and 6 months. Additional time may be needed if bone grafting or other preparatory procedures are required.
How do I know if I need a tooth replacement?
A missing tooth can impact chewing function, jaw alignment, and long-term oral health. If a tooth is lost or requires extraction, a replacement may be recommended to maintain spacing, reduce bite strain, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. A clinical evaluation is required to determine whether an implant or another option is appropriate.
