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.

EXCELLENT Based on 363 reviews Amy Cavanagh05/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't express enough gratitude for the incredible support I've received from Gisborne Family Dental. Not only is the dental care fabulous, but the receptionist (Melissa) is consistently friendly, helpful, and goes above and beyond to assist. They truly bent over backwards to write supporting letters to help me apply for a special consideration for my two large university assignments that fell right when I had to have dental work completed. This level of empathy and dedication Dr Priscilla showed during a stressful period made me so grateful. Highly recommend them for their outstanding care and truly compassionate team!

Holly Tomlinson28/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend this practise enough, especially Dr. Jack. I experienced a lot of anxiety regarding the dentist before being recommend to come here, however Dr. Jack is so thorough, gentle and informative, it always feels like I'm in good hands and now I don't experience that same anxiety before an appointment. Definitely the best dentist I've ever been to! Barbara Matthews19/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I have recently moved to Australia from the UK, to join our son and daughter in law. We needed to register with a dentist. My son made an appointment for us at the Gisborne Family Dentist. Dr Bethany carried out our first check ups. She was very friendly and welcoming but also very thorough and explained the treatment she thought would be needed. She used the X ray images to explain her diagnosis and was very clear and thorough in her explanation. She also gave both of us an estimate of cost which we found very helpful . We have now returned for our necessary appointments and again were very comfortable with Dr Bethany's treatment. Everyone at the surgery is very friendly and helpful including the reception staff. We're so pleased to have found Dr Bethany and this practice. Josef Hanna17/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best dental place ever!!

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.
