Do you have missing teeth? Are you wondering which replacement option to choose?
Most dentists recommend dental implants over other tooth replacement options because of their longevity, function and oral health benefits.
Whether you have one missing tooth or complete tooth loss, dental implants may be the solution because modern implants mean options:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on4®
- Implant-Supported Dentures
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium tooth roots that take over for those that are lost. These roots integrate with bone, making them stable enough to support new teeth while restoring your bite force. With implants, there are no eating restrictions.
The Dental Implant Process in Blue Mountains
- Schedule Your Consultation: Your consultation allows the dentist to assess your candidacy for treatment. This visit may include x-rays. We’ll also discuss your smile goals with you and answer any questions you might have, including cost breakdowns and financing.
- Implant Planning and Pretreatment: Implant planning involves image-guided technology for placement precision. We also take impressions, especially for implant dentures, and address pretreatments. For example, some patients require bone grafting to make implants a reality.
- Dental Implant Surgery: On surgery day, the dentist uses powerful anaesthesia and ensures it has taken effect before placing your dental implant posts into the jawbone.
- Your New Smile: After implants integrate into the bone, we attach your denture, prosthetic or crowns.
Dental Implant Benefits
- Longevity: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Functionality: Dental implants function like natural teeth, so there are no eating restrictions.
- Oral Health: Dental implants support your jawbone health and prevent tooth migration.
