Dental implants are metal screw-like devices surgically placed into the jawbone, where they serve as the roots of missing teeth to hold dental crowns, bridges or dentures in place, effectively replacing missing teeth.
At Signature Smile, we employ advanced CT scans and the renowned ITI Straumann implant system from Switzerland, providing premier implant procedures while ensuring a genuine, vibrant smile for our clients.

A single dental implant is a long-term solution for replacing one missing tooth. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on grinding down healthy adjacent teeth, a single dental implant in Bundoora is placed directly into the jawbone. This not only preserves bone density but also restores full chewing function with a natural look and feel. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable base for the crown, mimicking a real tooth from root to tip.
Our single implant services restore your missing tooth, rejuvenating your smile to its full brilliance. In comparison to crown bridges and other solutions, a single implant does not affect the adjacent teeth, providing a healthier and more durable solution.
We provide an implant package for single implant that includes all essential services except for bone grafting (as not all patients require grafting). Such services include CBCT, a surgical guide, a Straumann implant system, and an implant crown, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care.
When two or more teeth are missing in a row, many patients consider a dental bridge in Bundoora. Conventional bridges are anchored by neighbouring teeth, which may weaken them over time. In contrast, an implant-supported dental bridge eliminates the need to disturb adjacent teeth. By anchoring the bridge on implants instead of natural teeth, patients experience improved stability, comfort, and durability.
The implant bridge is an ideal choice for those missing several teeth, providing a comprehensive solution without the need for full mouth implants. Compared to traditional bridges, implant bridges provide better stability and comfort as they are directly fixed to the bone.

Lateral sinus lift is a surgical procedure used to increase the bone volume in the upper jaw area to facilitate the installation of dental implants. This surgery is typically suitable for individuals who have insufficient bone mass in the upper jaw region, making them unable to undergo dental implants directly. During the procedure, we carefully lift the sinus membrane and then fill the space underneath with bone material to provide additional support and stability.
Zygomatic implants are a expert type of implants that are longer and can be anchored onto the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a solution for individuals who do not have sufficient bone mass for traditional implants. This surgery requires a high degree of expertise and precision as it involves placing implants on the cheekbones. Dr. Ivan Tan has received comprehensive training in Zygomatic implants from the renowned expert Dr. Carlos Aparicio, and is able to perform the procedure with high precision and safety.
Bone grafting involves adding bone material to increase bone mass, thereby providing more stability for the implants. This necessitates taking bone from other areas or using synthetic bone materials to rebuild the missing bone structure. Major bone grafting, on the other hand, is a more complex surgery used to reconstruct severely missing bone structure. Both of these surgeries are suitable for individuals who cannot undergo direct implant surgery due to insufficient bone mass.
Each case begins with a digital scan and CT planning to ensure precise implant placement. From single dental implants to implant-supported bridges, every treatment plan is designed for long-term success, blending surgical precision with functional design.
