“Book your complimentary dental implant consultation to discuss your options and whether dental implants may be suitable for you.”
Dental implants are one option for replacing missing teeth. Unlike some other tooth replacement options, an implant can support a restoration without relying on adjacent teeth for support.
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture placed into the jawbone. During healing, the surrounding bone can integrate with the implant surface through a process known as osseointegration. A dental restoration can then be attached to the implant.
Each dental implant procedure requires careful planning. Suitability depends on factors such as oral health, available bone, medical history and the location of the missing tooth or teeth. Your dentist can discuss implants alongside other appropriate tooth replacement options.
Here are some key points about implants:
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the Jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth designed to match your natural teeth.
Dental implants integrate with the surrounding jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once sufficient healing has occurred, the implant can support a dental restoration such as a crown, bridge or implant-supported denture.
For successful dental implants, strong and healthy bone is crucial for support. Factors like sinus structure, age, smoking history, diet, and overall health influence candidacy. A thorough medical screening helps identify potential risks. Weak bone density, possibly due to factors like smoking or tooth loss, might require a bone graft. A CBCT scan assesses oral anatomy and bone density to ensure safe implant placement.
During assessment, we tailor implant options to your needs. Every case is unique, requiring individualized treatment. If your case is complex, we may refer you to a specialist for implant placement.
The lifespan of a dental implant varies between patients. Factors such as oral hygiene, gum health, smoking, general health, bite forces and ongoing dental care can influence longevity. The crown or other restoration attached to the implant may also require maintenance or replacement over time.
Dental implant placement is commonly performed using local anaesthetic. Some discomfort, swelling or tenderness can occur after the procedure, and recovery varies between patients. Your dentist will provide after-care instructions and discuss what to expect based on your individual treatment.
The entire process can take couple of months which includes initial consultation the surgical plate placement of the implant and a healing period of 3 to 6 months for the implant to fuse with the bone. Afterwards the custom made crown is placed.
Dental implant outcomes vary between patients. Factors including general health, smoking, oral hygiene, available bone, implant location, healing and ongoing maintenance can influence the outcome of treatment.
Yes. Dental implants can fail to integrate or may develop complications after placement. Factors can include infection, insufficient bone, smoking, certain health conditions and inadequate oral hygiene. Your dentist will discuss relevant risks as part of the assessment and consent process.
Some insurance plans may partially cover the cost of dental implants but this varies by plan. It’s recommended to check with your insurance provider or speak to your dentist about financing options.
Dental implants may be used to support certain full or partial dentures. Whether this is appropriate depends on factors such as available bone, oral health, medical history and the type of denture required.
Implant-supported restorations are designed to replace missing teeth and support functions such as biting and chewing. Their appearance and feel vary according to the restoration, implant position, surrounding teeth and individual oral anatomy.
After the initial implant surgery you’ll need to eat soft foods for a short while. Once fully healed it’s best to avoid eating on that side with the implant. However once the crown is placed you can enjoy your favourite foods as usual.
