Dental Implants at Lightwood Dental
Smile Reconstruction in Ferntree Gully
What Is A Dental Implant?
Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials and act as artificial tooth roots that are set into the jawbone and fuse with it, becoming a permanent part of your smile. We then attach fixed restorations like crowns, bridges or dentures to the implant, restoring your smile.
Special Offer!
Replace a missing tooth with a single dental implant.
Starting from $3,900.
The Process
Free Initial Consult:
We will consult with you over Zoom to discuss your needs and goals.
CBCT Scans:
You’ll then have an in-person visit at a radiology clinic for CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scans. These are special X-rays that show us the density of the jawbone, which helps determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.
Appointment with Our Dentist:
We’ll go over your CBCT scans with you and take other X-rays. Your dentist will then order all the implant components.
Implant Surgery:
We bring a board-certified oral surgeon into our practice to place each implant, with the option of selecting general anaesthesia.To help ease anxiety and ensure our patients are comfortable, we have a range of sedation options, including IV sedation and the green whistle.
Placing Fixed Restorations:
After the implant is fully integrated with the bone (which will take a few months), we will replace any temporary prosthetics with permanent crowns, bridges or dentures.

Meet Dr Iram Hasan (Dentist)
I am the owner and Principal Dentist here at Lightwood Dental. I started my career in 2000 and am fulfilling my vision to bring the best that dentistry has to offer to the community of Ferntree Gully since 2017. We have been growing ever since!
Although she grew up in a family of medical doctors, Dr Iram always wanted to pursue a career that allowed her to care for others and be artistic with her hands. Her first introduction to dentistry was when she got her teeth extracted at the age of six, and so impressed was she with the experience that she decided to be a dentist and has been passionate about oral health ever since.
Meet Dr Emily Jin (Dentist)
Dr Emily was inspired to become a dentist, as it encompasses everything I enjoy, including patient interaction, and helping others. She enjoys the hands-on aspect of dentistry, and particularly loves crafting healthy, beautiful smiles for her patients.
Building Healthy Smiles With Children’s Orthodontics
Early orthodontic care can play a crucial role in your child’s oral health and development. Our focus is on early intervention to guide the proper development of the teeth and jaw. Treatments like space maintainers help preserve room for permanent teeth, while Myobrace® gently supports healthy jaw growth and corrects harmful habits like thumb-sucking.
Addressing these issues early can also improve airway function, promoting better breathing and overall health. By taking action now, you can set your child on a path to a self-assured smile and optimal oral health for life. Our friendly, experienced team creates a welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way.

Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
Does implant surgery hurt?
Most of our patients say implant surgery is no more painful than a simple tooth extraction.
Do implants damage neighbouring teeth?
Unlike traditional tooth replacement treatments, dental implants are non-invasive to adjacent teeth. Each implant is independent, preventing the need to alter the tooth shape next to it.
How long do implants last?
With proper dental care, implants can potentially last a lifetime. The restorations (crowns or bridges) may wear out over time, but the implant itself is unlikely to fail.
