Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing a missing tooth or a number of teeth. The finished result is a healthy, natural looking smile and beautiful teeth.
A dental implant is a surgical procedure that positions metal screws into the jawbone beneath the gum line. The implant is made using pure titanium which allows new bone cells to grow around it locking it firmly in place. The implanted screw acts as a support anchor for either a:
Implants act as a replacement for the root of the natural tooth. It’s an excellent, durable long-term option for restoring your smile. They do not come loose or need to be removed like traditional dentures.
Having a full set of clean, straight teeth brightens your smile and improves the quality of your life. Even if you only have one tooth missing, it will negatively affect your confidence and appearance.
Replacing a missing tooth is particularly important in the front of your mouth. Obviously the more visible the defect, the greater impact it has n your smile and natural appearance.
With dental implants your smile and the tooth function will be more natural. The result is increased comfort and confidence when smiling, speaking, and eating.
Our goal at Total Dental Care Maroubra is to give you a beautiful, healthy and confident smile.
If you want your prosthetics to last a long time, you need to take care of them. A visit to the dentist for a check-up and clean must be scheduled at least twice a year.
Good oral hygiene and regular dental exams are necessary to prevent further problems.
Replacing missing teeth is important to your health, your smile, your confidence and also to the health of your other teeth. There are many benefits to dental implants for tooth replacement that make them a superior solution compared to other options:
During your personalised consultation appointment with us, we will examine your suitability for an implant or implants. This includes scans to check that adequate bone density is available and to determine exactly where the implants will be placed in the bone to support the teeth.
During this appointment we will thoroughly explain the implant treatment plan, the procedure and required appointments, as well as post-surgery healing and care.
The actual surgery is quite straight forward. It causes no discomfort to the patient during the procedure and minimal discomfort for a few days during healing.
If you are considering dental implants, your health is a major factor in determining if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Illnesses like diabetes, cancer, or leukaemia may interfere with healing after surgery.
You need to have healthy gums and a reasonable amount of dense bone tissue in your jaw to support the implant.
If you are a smoker and you want implant surgery, you will have to give up smoking before surgery and for a period of at least 1 month after surgery. This is because patients that smoke tend to have slower healing capabilities.
No referral is required. Simply make an appointment.
Our goal at Total Dental Care Maroubra is to give you a beautiful, healthy and confident smile.
