Restore your smile with natural-looking tooth replacement
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance, they can change how you eat, speak and feel every day. At Gisborne Family Dental, we offer personalised dental implant solutions to help you regain your confidence with care that feels right for you.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, our experienced team is here to guide you through the process with clarity, comfort and trusted clinical expertise.
Why choose dental implants?
Dental implants are a permanent way to replace missing teeth, offering the look, feel and function of your natural smile. They’re fixed in place, so there’s no slipping, clicking or need to remove them for cleaning.
Implants don’t just restore your smile. They also help maintain jawbone health and facial structure by replacing the root of the missing tooth, something bridges or dentures can’t do alone.
With the right care, implants can last for many years and become a seamless part of your everyday life.

What Is a dental implant?
A dental implant, sometimes called a tooth implant, is a small titanium or zirconia post placed into your jawbone where it acts as a replacement tooth root. Once the area has healed, we attach a custom-made crown, bridge or denture to complete your smile.
The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth replacement that blends beautifully with your existing teeth and restores full function.
Dental implant options
There is a range of solutions depending on your needs:
- A single implant to replace one missing tooth
- Multiple implants to support a bridge or group of missing teeth
- Full mouth implant restorations using fewer implants to support a full arch
- All-On-4 treatment, which uses four implants to replace all teeth on the upper or lower arch, ideal for patients with reduced bone density or seeking faster results
Our team will talk through the best approach based on your health, goals and lifestyle.
What to expect during treatment
We start with a detailed consultation to understand your oral health and treatment goals. This includes digital scans or X-rays to plan your care with accuracy.
Once your plan is in place, the implant is placed during a minor procedure — typically under local anaesthetic, or with sleep dentistry or happy gas if you prefer.
After healing, your final crown, bridge or denture is fitted to complete your restoration, giving you a long-lasting, natural-feeling smile.
Flexible and supportive care
We know dental implants are a long-term investment in your wellbeing. That’s why we offer tailored treatment planning and flexible payment plan options through Afterpay and ZipPay to help make your care more accessible.
You’ll receive clear information, no-pressure advice and ongoing support, so you can make confident decisions every step of the way.
Caring for your implants
Dental implants are easy to care for with regular brushing, flossing and check-ups. Just like natural teeth, they benefit from daily hygiene and professional maintenance.
Our team will guide you on how to keep your implant and surrounding gums healthy, helping you protect your smile for the long term.
