Losing a tooth affects your bite, speech, and confidence. Chewing feels different; certain foods become off-limits, and you start thinking twice before smiling. At Alpha Dental & Implants Centre, we restore what’s missing, from root to crown. Our dental implants look, feel, and function like real teeth. Chew steak, smile wide, and laugh without worry.

Surgical & Prosthetic Solutions for Missing Teeth
A missing tooth isn’t just about what you see—it’s about what you feel. That awkward space when you run your tongue across your missing teeth. The way your bite changes. Even the way your jawbone starts to shrink over time. A dental implant procedure at Alpha Dental & Implants Centre solves all of that. A titanium post replaces the lost tooth root, keeping your jawbone strong and healthy. After a few months of healing, a custom-made crown is placed on top, blending seamlessly with your other teeth.
At Alpha Dental & Implants Centre, we make sure your implant looks natural, functions perfectly, and lasts for years. Whether it’s one tooth or several, we create a solution that fits you.
Why Choose Alpha Dental for Dental Implant Treatments?
At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, we don’t just fill the gap between your teeth. Here’s why people trust us with their dental implants in Adelaide.
35+ Years of Experience, Thousands of Smiles
A lot has changed in implant dentistry, but one thing hasn’t – experience matters. With over three decades in the field, our dentists have fixed thousands of dental issues. Whether it’s a single tooth replacement or a full arch, we tailor every treatment to fit your needs.
We Start with a Full Check-Up
Every treatment begins with a thorough oral health assessment. We check your mouth, gums, and bone density to make sure implants are the right choice for you. If you’re a good candidate, we map out a treatment plan that fits your goals, budget, and timeline.
Implants for Every Mouth
Not everyone has the same bone structure. That’s why we offer various types of dental implants:
- Endosteal implants – The most common type, placed directly into the jawbone for maximum strength.
- Subperiosteal implants – A great alternative when there isn’t enough bone, sitting just under the gum instead.
No matter your situation, we’ll find the right solution for you.
Surprisingly Comfortable Treatment
Most people expect dental implants to hurt. Most people are wrong. Thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthetic, the procedure is far easier than you think. Many of our patients tell us they felt little to no discomfort during or after the process.
Convenient Location – We’re Close to You!

Benefits of Dental Implants
At Alpha Dental & Implants Centre, our dental implants offer our patients several benefits, which include:
- Improved appearance – Dental implants look and feel like your own natural teeth.
- Improved speech – Implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth (dentures) might slip.
- Improved comfort – Much like natural teeth, Dental Implants become part of you, eliminating the discomfort you can get from wearing removable dentures.
- Easier eating—Dentures can move around while eating and can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favourite foods confidently and without pain.
- Improved self-esteem: You can smile freely without the worry of dentures sliding around or the appearance of gaps.
- Durability – Dental Implants are very durable and will last many years. With proper maintenance, many implants can last a lifetime.
Dental Implants Process: What to Expect at Alpha Dental
Getting a dental implant treatment isn’t as complicated as you might think. At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, we make it comfortable and tailored to you. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Consultation & Planning
We check your oral health, assess your jawbone, and determine the best implant treatment for you.
Step 2: Implant Placement
A titanium post is placed in your jaw; it acts like a tooth root, keeping your bone strong.
Step 3: Healing & Bonding
Over a few months, your bone fuses with the implant, creating a solid foundation for your new tooth.
Step 4: Custom Crown Placement
We attach a tooth crown that looks and feels like your natural teeth. No one will know the difference.
Step 5: Eat, Smile, Live
Enjoy your favourite foods, speak with confidence, and smile without thinking twice. It’s that simple.
Whether you’re replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch, we make sure the process is smooth and built to last.
Take the first step. Book a consultation for an assessment. Or visit us at 169 Prospect Rd, Prospect, SA.
Fun Fact:
Generally foods and drinks that are high in sugar and acid are harmful to tooth enamel. Acidic foods and drinks (soft drinks, citric juices, sports drinks) can cause tooth erosion while high sugar content is more likely to contribute to tooth decay (cavities).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
Most patients experience slight discomfort during the dental implant process. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the area, with sedation options for anxious patients. Post-operative pain is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Our procedure also has a high success rate, often over 95%.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants could last a lifetime. Their longevity depends on oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and lifestyle choices. Unlike dentures, which may be replaced every few years, these are meant to last long-term.
How much do dental implants cost in Adelaide?
The cost of dental implants can vary widely. However, the number of implants required, the complexity of your case, and the clinic’s location significantly impact the price. On average, expect to pay between AUD 3,800 and AUD 5,700 per implant. Many clinics also offer financing options to make treatment more accessible.
What is the recovery time after getting dental implants?
Recovery time (days to weeks for initial healing) can take several months for the implant to integrate fully with the jaw bone. Your dentist will give you aftercare instructions to make your recovery smooth.
Are dental implants covered by Medicare Australia?
In most cases, Medicare Australia doesn’t cover dental implants because they’re considered an elective treatment, not essential medical care. However, if you need implants due to a medical condition or injury, you might be eligible for limited support through programs like the Medicare Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Scheme or the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS). Not sure if you qualify? We’re happy to help you figure it out.
