Losing a single tooth doesn’t mean compromising your smile. A single dental implant offers a permanent, natural solution that restores both form and function. With precision and care, we help you regain not only your smile’s beauty but also your confidence, while preventing bone loss and keeping your surrounding teeth healthy.
A single dental implant is a long-lasting solution for replacing a missing tooth. The procedure involves placing a small titanium post into your jawbone, which acts as the root of the tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a custom-made crown is placed on top, completing the restoration.
At Greenvale Dental House, by The Dental House Group, we use advanced techniques and technology to ensure the implant blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing you with a smile that looks and feels completely natural. This treatment not only restores your smile’s function but also helps to preserve the health of your jawbone, ensuring a stable foundation for your remaining teeth.

This has to be the best dental practice I have ever been to (and I’ve been to a few over the years)! Have attended both Sunbury and most recently the Bacchus Marsh Dental House. All the Staff are wonderful. I see Dr. Fong and he is amazing. He makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. He is very personable and always make me laugh. Thanks also to the lovely Hannah who assisted when I had my recent procedure done.
Not just any old dental clinic, made to feel right at Home as soon as I walked in the door. Friendly and caring team and love the color purple throughout!
Had my first visit to Sunbury Dental House last week – they promise a gentle approach and having a crown prep done by Dr Fong after cracking a tooth, I’ve felt comfortable during my dental appointment. Being able to watch a movie during treatment certainly helped! Looking forward to my return visit in a few weeks!
After hearing numerous excellent reports about this clinic, I decided to visit myself. I must say that it was a fantastic experience, even better than I expected! The clinic is bright and modern, the receptionists and nurses are friendly and help to put you at ease. The dentist is gentle, knowledgeable and explains everything so thoroughly!
I highly recommend this clinic!
Have been to this dentist several times now and each time i have received professional and friendly service. Dr Claire is amazing! She is very gentle and thorough and has never recommended unnecessary treatments. The staff here are genuine and caring, as evident by the many highly rated reviews.
Great dental practice. Fong is a very experience dentist acquiring all my dental needs and the nurse emily helped my dentist experience a comfortable one. Highly recommend them.
Great staff. Fong was very gentle, personable and skilled. They take the drama out of going to the dentist. I am happy to recommend Sunbury Dental House to anyone.
I just want to say a very big thank you to Claire and her team for the excellent work l received on my recent visits to the clinic after a very bad experience. I can not recommend them highly enough for fitting me in asap especially losing a front tooth when l was out to dinner the night before. They went above and beyond and to attend to this disaster was unbelievable. I am so thankful that they were able to help and would not go anywhere else. So professional in everything they did especially as l am extremely nervous about dentists. Thank you again ??
Would recommend Dr. Fong and Caroline at Dental House, both Sunbury and Bacchus Marsh. Very friendly and welcoming. They ensure you feel comfortable and Dr. Fong has the best jokes! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
It’s all about the client here! You are made to feel welcome and comfortable the second you walk in the door. They are forward thinking in dentistry which is a huge positive for the client. Well done to all
A well-maintained dental implant can last 20 years or more. The titanium post that supports the implant is designed to last a lifetime. The custom crown, however, may need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear over time. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene will ensure the longevity of your implant.
At Greenvale Dental House, we provide ongoing care to ensure your implant stays in top condition. With good oral habits such as brushing and flossing, your implant can continue functioning like a natural tooth for many years.
The dental implant procedure is generally not painful. Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring you feel little to no discomfort during the placement. You may experience some pressure, but pain is typically minimal.
After the procedure, mild soreness and swelling are common, but these can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. We will guide you through aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, and most patients return to normal activities within a few days.
Dental implants are suitable for many people, but good oral health is essential. You need sufficient bone density in your jaw to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, a bone graft may be necessary to proceed with the implant.
At Greenvale Dental House, we assess each patient individually. If dental implants are not suitable, we will discuss other options with you. Rest assured, our experienced team will recommend the best treatment plan based on your unique needs.
Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are normal and gradually improve, but full healing can take several months.What is the recovery time after implant surgery?
