Restorative Dentistry in Brisbane CBD

Significant Smiles - Centre For Dynamic Dentistry in Brisbane City

Dental Implants & Crowns in the Heart of Brisbane CBD

Missing, broken or heavily damaged teeth don’t just affect how your smile looks; they can change how you eat, speak and feel about yourself. At Significant Smiles, our experienced dentists provide restorative dentistry that rebuilds the function and appearance of your teeth, from our Albert St practice in the heart of Brisbane CBD, a short walk from Queen Street Mall.

Whether you’ve lost a tooth, cracked one, or need to protect a tooth after root canal treatment, we take the time to assess what’s happening and talk you through the options that suit your situation. Our main restorative treatments are dental implants, which replace missing teeth from the root up, and dental crowns, which cap and strengthen a damaged tooth, both designed to look natural and sit comfortably with the rest of your teeth.

Because we’re in Brisbane City, appointments fit easily around work, and HICAPS lets us process your health-fund claim on the spot, with interest-free payment plans available for larger treatments. Explore the options below, or book a consultation to discuss what’s right for you.

Dental Implants

A Strong, Long-Term Way to Replace Missing Teeth

Dental implants replace missing teeth from the root up. A small titanium post is placed in the jaw to act like a tooth root, supporting a replacement tooth that looks and functions much like a natural one. Whether you're missing a single tooth or several, implants are a stable, long-lasting option that lets you eat, speak and smile comfortably, and they help preserve the jawbone, which can shrink after tooth loss. Our dentists will assess whether implants are suitable for you and explain each step before you decide.

Dental Crowns

Strengthen and Protect a Damaged Tooth

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a tooth that's damaged, weakened or misshapen, restoring its strength and shape. It's often used to protect a tooth after root canal treatment, hold together a cracked tooth, or restore one that's badly worn. Crowns are made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, so they blend in while adding durable protection. Our dentists will check whether a crown is right for your tooth and talk you through what's involved.

FAQ's

It depends on how many teeth you’re replacing and your individual case, so there’s no single price. At your consultation we assess your teeth and jaw and give you a clear, itemised quote covering the full treatment before anything begins. HICAPS handles your health-fund claim on the spot, and interest-free payment plans help spread the cost.

They solve different problems. A crown caps and strengthens a tooth that’s damaged, cracked or has had root canal treatment, where the natural tooth root is still there. An implant replaces a tooth that’s missing or beyond saving, using a titanium post in the jaw to support a replacement. At your consultation our dentists assess your teeth and explain which suits your situation.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last many years. We’ll talk through what to expect and how to look after them at your appointment.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental crowns typically last a long time too, though it depends on how well they’re cared for and your overall dental health. We’ll talk through what to expect and how to look after them at your appointment.

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel pain during it, and most people manage any after-effects with simple pain relief. We’ll explain each step beforehand and, for nervous patients, discuss sedation options to keep you comfortable.

It varies by case. An implant is usually placed in one appointment, then needs a few months to heal and fuse with the jawbone before the final tooth is attached, so the full process often spans several months. We’ll map out your timeline at your consultation so you know what to expect.
