Dental Implants
Dental Implants in Silverdale, Auckland
Missing a tooth – or several? Dental implants are the closest thing to having your natural teeth back. At Dazzle Family Dental in Silverdale, we provide premium dental implants, planned with a 3D scan and placed right here in our clinic by our own dentist – so you’re looked after by the same caring team from your first visit to your final smile.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone beneath the gum, where it acts like the root of a natural tooth. Once it has healed, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is fitted on top. Implants look, feel and work like natural teeth, and with good care they can last for many years.
Who are implants right for?
Implants may be a good option if you have lost a tooth through an accident, gum disease or decay, if you are tired of a loose denture or bridge, or if a missing tooth is affecting how you eat, speak or smile. At your consultation we check your gums and the bone that supports your teeth, and talk honestly about whether an implant is the best choice for you.
Your implant journey, step by step
- Consultation – we listen to your concerns, examine your mouth and explain your options in plain language.
- 3D scan and planning – we take a 3D (CBCT) scan of your jaw so we can plan the exact position of your implant before treatment begins.
- Implant placement – the implant is placed gently in our Silverdale clinic. Sedation is available if you feel anxious.
- Healing – the implant bonds with your jawbone over the following months. We check on your progress along the way.
- Your new tooth – a natural-looking crown, bridge or denture is fitted on top of the implant.
Single tooth, bridge or denture on implants
Implants can replace a single missing tooth, support a bridge to replace several teeth, or hold a denture firmly in place so it no longer slips. We will recommend the option that suits your mouth, your lifestyle and your budget.
Nervous about treatment?
Many of our implant patients feel anxious at first – and that’s completely normal. We offer oral sedation and IV sedation to help make treatment a more comfortable and relaxed experience. Learn more about sedation for anxious patients.
Paying for your implants
Every implant treatment is different, so we give you a clear, written treatment plan and cost before anything begins. Afterpay is available to help spread the cost. If your tooth was lost in an accident, ACC may contribute towards your treatment – see ACC and WINZ treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Does getting an implant hurt?
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Most people describe some mild tenderness for a few days afterwards. Sedation is available if you feel anxious.
How long do dental implants last?
With good home care and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years.
How long does the whole process take?
It depends on your situation. Healing usually takes a few months before your new tooth is fitted. We’ll give you a personal timeline at your consultation.
Am I too old for implants?
There is no upper age limit. What matters most is your general health and the bone that supports your teeth.
Do you offer payment options?
Yes, Afterpay is available.
