Specialist periodontists Dr Patty Chou and Dr Alun Cheng use Straumann implants at Toothsome to deliver predictable, long-lasting tooth replacement in Sydney.
Replacing a missing tooth is one of the most important investments you’ll make in your long-term health. The two factors that decide whether your dental implant lasts five years or fifty are simple: the clinician who places it and the implant system they use.
At Toothsome Periodontics, Implants and Oral Surgery in Sydney, specialist periodontists place Straumann® dental implants — the most clinically researched implant system in the world.
Why a Specialist Periodontist should place your implant
A periodontist is a registered dental specialist with an additional three years of postgraduate training in the bone and gum tissue that supports every tooth — and every implant. That training matters when complications arise, when bone grafting is required, or when full-arch reconstruction is on the table.
Toothsome’s specialist team includes:
-
Dr Patty Chou — Specialist Periodontist with over 25 years of experience in periodontal surgery and 25+ years in dental implants and gum treatments.
-
Dr Alun Cheng — Specialist Periodontist with advanced training in gum disease treatment, periodontal regeneration and dental implant placement, known for a gentle, patient-centred approach.
Why Toothsome chooses Straumann
Straumann is the global benchmark in implant dentistry — and the reasons are clinical, not cosmetic.
-
97–99% long-term success rates across multiple peer-reviewed studies.
-
SLActive® surface technology that can reduce healing time from 6–8 weeks to as little as 3–4.
-
Roxolid® alloy, stronger than pure titanium and ideal for patients with limited bone.
-
BLX implants for high primary stability and immediate-load cases — Toothsome was one of the first clinics in Australia to adopt them. Read their detailed breakdown of the Straumann difference here.
-
Lifetime guarantee on the implant, backed by a globally supported system.
