Single Dental Implant

Have you considered dental implants in Blue Mountains? If you have missing teeth, you might find eating and speaking a bit of a challenge. You may find yourself avoiding certain foods because chewing is difficult. You might also feel self-conscious about the empty space in your mouth, so you find yourself avoiding social occasions. Dental implants are an ideal treatment for many people who are missing one or more teeth.

At Katoomba Dental Centre, we have several dentists who can offer dental implants to patients in all locations, including Leura, Wentworth Falls, Hazelbrook, Lawson, Blackheath, Mt Victoria, Lithgow, Springwood, Faulconbridge and Blaxland.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible titanium that are inserted into the jawbone to take the place of a natural root that is missing. A dental crown is attached on top of the implant, giving the restoration the look and function of a natural tooth. Dental implant techniques can replace one or several missing teeth. In some patients, an entire set of artificial teeth can be secured on dental implants.

4 Reasons to Choose Dental Implants in Katoomba

Dental implants offer many valuable advantages over other tooth replacements, which is why most dentists recommend them as a first-line treatment. Below, we share a few of these distinct benefits.

Implants Are Long Lasting

Other tooth replacement options will need replacing several times over your lifetime. In contrast, dental implants can last for decades or longer.

Implants Are Maintenance-Free

Dental implants don't need special cleaning tools or products. You'll never need relines or adjustments. They need only what your natural teeth require.

Implants Restore Function

With dental implants, there are no eating restrictions. You can enjoy complex foods that require chewing and gnashing. Your implant won't shift!

Implants Benefit Oral Health

Dental implants support jawbone health, and the jawbone supports your remaining teeth and new implant. They also prevent tooth migration, which can lead to tooth wear and further loss.

Free Implant Consultation

We want everyone to have the opportunity to explore implants as a viable option. This consultation is an obligation free appointment with our principal dentist to help answer questions and assess whether or not you would be a suitable candidate do any implant based treatments.

The appointment includes an intra-oral examination, OPG x-ray (if a recent one is not available) and a printed treatment plan with estimated costs.

For any person that wishes to move forward with implant treatment, we require a 3D x-ray (Cone beam CT), this is not covered under this offer and will carry an expense. This can be performed at the time of the consultation or at a separate appointment.

Not all patients will be suitable to have implant treatment, or potentially will require more extensive treatment to achieve the same results. The purpose of this consultation is to help identify early these possible indicators which may lead to increased risk or further treatment required. This process allows you to make an informed choice as to whether or not you would like to proceed with treatment.

Implant treatment is an invasive procedure and carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Your Blue Mountains dentist provides a free consultation because we want everyone to have the opportunity to explore implants as a viable option.

We will discuss all the findings with you, discuss your smile goals, and examine your oral health. These factors determine whether dental implants are a viable option for you.

If they are, we plan your surgery!

The Benefits of Dental Implants in 2780

Losing one or more teeth not only creates a gap in your smile that can be embarrassing, but it also affects your ability to chew properly. Many times, people with missing teeth no longer get proper nutrition because they avoid many of their favourite healthy foods.

In addition, tooth loss can lead to bone loss in the jaw. This can ultimately affect a person’s appearance as the bone loss can change the lower face, giving it a sunken look.

Like natural teeth, dental implants are cleaned with dental floss, brushing with regular toothpaste and routine check-ups with your Katoomba, NSW dentist.

As with natural teeth, it’s important to talk to your dentist if you grind and clench your teeth (bruxism). Your dentist can create a custom nightguard to protect your teeth and your dental implants. And remember to always keep your preventive dentistry appointments—even full-mouth restorations cannot prevent gum disease. It is routine dentistry and excellent at-home care that keeps your gums healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implants in Katoomba varies for a few reasons, including:

The complexity of the case—Some implants require bone grafting, sinus lifts or other pretreatments, impacting cost.
The number of implants—We offer All-on-4, implant-supported prosthetics like dentures and single implants at various price points.

Fortunately, we offer a free consultation for dental implants. At this visit, you’ll learn whether you’re suitable for dental implants and how much it will cost to restore your smile. Your dentist will go over the options as well.

Single Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement

This option means a single replacement tooth root capped with a dental crown.

All-on-4 for a Full Smile

For this option, we rely on a low-profile prosthetic of restoring teeth to complete your smile. Typically, this means a full set of teeth secured with four dental implants.

Implant-Supported Prosthetics for a Secure Denture and Bridge

Implant-supported prosthetics can mean dentures or bridges secured with dental implants.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants in Katoomba?

Our Katoomba dentists (and most dentists) recommend dental implants above other tooth replacement options. There are many reasons for this:

Dental implants are most like natural teeth because they replace the entire anatomy of your lost tooth, including the valuable root.
Dental implants are strong and lasting, allowing you to enjoy your meals and add new and exciting foods to your diet.
They are easy to take care of and require only what your natural teeth require—brushing, flossing, check-ups and teeth cleans.
Because dental implants are a fixed restoration, you may feel more secure when smiling and laughing with family members and your best mates.
Finally, dental implants are versatile, offering everything from single implants to All-on-4 and implant-supported dentures.

However, the first step is learning whether implant dentistry is suitable for you. To make this determination, your dental implant dentist has you in for a consultation. And at the time of this writing, we are offering free dental implant consultations in Katoomba!

Why do I need a dental crown?

Dentists recommend dental crowns for various reasons, and some patients choose crowns as part of their cosmetic makeover.

If your dentist recommends a dental crown, here are a few reasons why:

You have a weak or treated tooth in need of stability.
You have deep tooth decay (treated) that puts the tooth at risk for breakage.
You have a short tooth that is compromising your bite.
You need a single dental implant, which includes a crown.
You need a dental bridge with accompanying crowns.

Dental crowns can also hide cosmetic issues, including chips, cracks, discolouration, shape abnormalities and more.

The Dental Crown Process

For general tooth crowning, we start with an assessment of the tooth. Then, we shape the tooth, take impressions and provide a temporary restoration until your custom tooth crown is ready for placement.

Before your Katoomba dentist secures the crown, we ensure the colour and shape match your teeth. We also evaluate the function of your new restoration.

For Crowns and Bridges, We Welcome Your Call

If you need a dental crown in Katoomba, we encourage you to contact our dental team to book an evaluation with the dentist.

We work with ZipPay financing and proudly serve all neighbourhoods, including Blue Mountains, Wentworth Falls and Leura.

What are the oral health benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants offer exclusive oral health benefits not found in other tooth replacement options.

For example:

Dental implants are long-lasting and can remain viable for decades and even a lifetime.
Dental implants guard against jawbone loss and are the only option that offers this benefit.
Dental implants prevent tooth migration, throwing off your bite and leading to further tooth loss.
Dental implants require no additional maintenance or upkeep. Visit your dentist regularly, and don’t skip brushing and flossing.
Dental implants restore your chewing force, so there are no eating restrictions.
Dental implants never shift or tilt, which can be embarrassing when out with friends.
Dental implants don’t develop the pain points and irritation sometimes found in dentures.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

We start by having you visit our dental implant dentist in Katoomba. This visit is the discovery phase of implantology. We learn whether you’re a candidate by assessing your jawbone integrity, sinus placement and more. The dentist may deem you an instant candidate, but in some cases, you’ll require pretreatments to make implants a reality.

Pretreatments may include extractions for implant dentures or bone grafting to shore up the jawbone. Your dentist will tell you what to expect and how much treatment will cost.

What are my dental implant options?

When you think of dental implants in Katoomba, you probably imagine a single tooth replacement, but we offer additional options in our dental clinic.

These options make implant dentistry accessible to patients with every level of tooth loss.

Single Dental Implants

Single dental implants are just what you might expect: a tooth root replacement surgically inserted into the gum. This new root is made of solid titanium, and it integrates into the bone. Then, we top your implant with a replacement tooth when the integration process finishes.

Implant-Supported Dentures

This option works for complete tooth loss, and the process is similar to single implant placement. We rely on four to six implants with implant-supported dentures to secure your prosthetic. As a result, you’ll never again have to worry about relines or a loosening denture.

All-on-4

All-on-4 is ideal for patients who do not want to wear dentures. This is a lower-profile arch of replacement teeth secured with four dental implants.

Is Implant Dentistry Right for You?

We encourage you to book a consultation with our implant dentist to determine whether implant dentistry is a smart choice for your tooth loss. In some cases, pretreatments may be in order to make you a better candidate.
