Dental Implants in St Leonards
St Leonards Dentist Dr Andrew Lau will assess your oral health, explain the available treatments and discuss whether a dental implant may be appropriate for your needs.
People choose dental implants for many different reasons. You may be looking to replace:
- A single tooth lost through injury or decay
- Several missing teeth
- A tooth that can no longer be restored
- An older bridge
- A loose or uncomfortable denture
- A tooth that never developed naturally
Replacing a missing tooth may also help maintain the spacing of surrounding teeth and provide another option for replacing a missing tooth. During your consultation, Dr Andrew will discuss the options that may be appropriate for your situation.
Your consultation at St. Leonards Square Dental Care begins with a conversation about your oral health, concerns and goals, followed by a thorough examination. Depending on your needs, this may include digital X-rays, CBCT imaging and an intraoral scan to assess your teeth, gums and jawbone.
As part of the Australian-developed ReplaceDent network, our practice uses 3D treatment planning to map out each stage of care before any procedure begins. The information gathered during your assessment helps guide your personalised treatment plan and, where appropriate, the creation of a custom 3D-printed surgical guide to assist with implant placement.
If treatment is suitable for your circumstances, you’ll receive a written plan outlining the proposed procedures, expected timeframes and associated fees. If more than one clinician is involved in your care, everyone works from the same plan to provide a coordinated approach throughout the process.

Dental Implants or Dentures?
Both options replace missing teeth, but they work differently. The right choice depends on your oral health, lifestyle, preferences and budget.
| Dental Implants | Dentures |
|---|---|
| Fixed within the jawbone | Removable appliance |
| May replace one or more missing teeth | May replace several or all missing teeth |
| Individually planned | Available in different designs |
| Usually a higher upfront investment | Often a lower upfront investment |
During your consultation, Dr Andrew will explain the differences and discuss which option may be appropriate for your needs.
