Dental Implants in Richmond

Dental implants are the most advanced and natural way to replace missing teeth. They are designed to look, feel and function like real teeth, helping you eat, speak and smile with confidence again.

Led by Oral surgeon Dr. Augusto Pezzola GDC (GDC No. 153033), our experienced Richmond team has over 23 years of clinical experience in restorative and implant dentistry.

We will always assess whether a dental implant is the right solution for you and discuss all available treatment options before starting any procedure.

The full process can take several months, depending on healing time.

Am I suitable for implants?

What happens if I do not replace a missing tooth?

Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw, movement of neighbouring teeth, difficulties with chewing and changes in your bite. Replacing missing teeth promptly can help maintain your oral health and smile.

Further help for buying implants

•  Talk to your dentist about your expectations. What are you hoping to achieve with dental implants? Do you want to be able to chew normally again? Do you want to improve your smile? Once you know what you want, your dentist can help you develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.
   
•  Get multiple quotes. The cost of dental implants can vary significantly from dentist to dentist. Get quotes from at least three dentists before making a decision, but be wary of quotes that are way below the average of dental implants near you.
   
•  Ask about financing options. If you can't afford to pay for dental implants upfront, some dentists such as ourselves offer 0% financing options. This can make it easier to spread out the cost of treatment over time.

5* dental implant review in Richmond via Google Business

I had a missing tooth and I went to Kew Road Dental on my friend's recommendation. The surgeon there made an implant for me and now I have my tooth back!

The experience wasn't frightening and although it took a couple of months, I am now delighted with the result. I am very happy with this dentist in Richmond and I can't recommend it enough!"
