Dental implants are the most modern and natural of all tooth replacement options. They are like biological teeth in look and function, but they also have a natural appearance, and upkeep is simple.

If you have missing teeth, you may be weighing your options. Fortunately, today’s dental implants give you more choices than ever before. So whether you have one missing tooth or total tooth loss, dental implants may still be a viable way to regain your smile.

About Dental Implants in Katoomba, NSW

Dental implants are not replacement teeth. Instead, they are new tooth roots surgically implanted in the jaw. By replacing the root first, your dentist builds a strong base for your replacement tooth or fixed prosthetic.

Dental implant roots integrate into bone naturally, so a completed dental implant (root and crown) is stable and lasting.

Dental Implant Options

Single Dental Implants

Single dental implants are ideal if you have only one or two missing teeth. The implant is comprised of one replacement root and a customised tooth crown.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures rely on up to six implants to secure a prosthetic, usually an entire arch of new teeth.

All-on-4®

All-on-4 uses only four dental implants to secure a low-profile arch of replacement teeth.

Learn Whether You’re a Candidate for Dental Implants

Before proceeding with dental implants, we ensure your candidacy through a thorough exam and chat with the dentist. Considerations for dental implant success include jawbone health and sinus placement. Your dentist may recommend pretreatments to bring you into candidacy if there are issues in these areas.

At this consultation, you’ll learn whether dental implants are suitable, whether you’ll need dental work before implants, and how much treatment will cost.
