Dental Implants in Sydney

Missing teeth and loose dentures make too many people sit on the sidelines and let life pass them by.

However, today’s modern treatment plans can replace everything from a single missing tooth to a completely missing arch! Implants are cosmetic dentistry but more importantly they let you chew confidently again.

What is a Dental Implant? and What can they be used for?

Modern dental implants are precision devices, available in several different designs to address your specific needs and desires. The most common type is a titanium screw that is anchored into the jaw bone where it serves as a post for a custom- made tooth crown. Once the crown is in place, you may not be able to tell it apart from your natural teeth. 

In some cases, instead of artificial tooth, an implant can be fitted with special clips or attachments (similar to press studs) to hold a full denture. This allows minimal movement, greater comfort and added confidence.
Even though implants are a form of cosmetic dentistry, they perform the more important function of allowing the patient to eat comfortably in that area where the tooth was lost.

Dental Implants:

• Help withstand greater bite pressures with dentures.
• Prevent bone loss in the jaw (this may reduce the risk of adjacent natural teeth becoming loose.)
• Prevent the formation of hollowed or collapsed cheeks that can occur after tooth extraction. Missing teeth cause bone loss in the Jaw.
• Are usually surrounded by gum tissue like real teeth.
• May prevent gum recession.
• Unlike bridges, do not require the cutting and reshaping of neighboring healthy teeth.
• Are firmly secured in the Jaw bone.
• Add confidence and comfort for full denture wears.
• Usually do not require separate care routines or special cleaning procedures- like bridges and dentures.
• Like natural teeth, implants are cleaned by dental floss and brushing with regular toothpaste.

Implant Patient Testimonial

Would I be a candidate for a dental implant?

Your dentist will need to perform diagnostic tests to confirm that you are a suitable candidate for an implant and to give you the best treatment approach.

These tests may include:

• Full dental exam/consult
• Photographs
• Dental X-ray radiographs
• CT scans of your jaw bones
• Dental casts of your mouth.

A comprehensive treatment plan will be formulated from the information gained. This gives you realistic understanding of your expectations, the procedure, the costs and time involved for your individual case.
