If you have missing teeth, there is arguably nothing more dramatic and rewarding than the results gained from dental implants.
Dental implants: A brief overview
If you haven’t heard of dental implants before, then you may not instantly be filled with the excitement that we feel about telling you about them! However, we’re pretty certain that you will share in our enthusiasm, once you realise how convenient and wonderful they are! Dental implants are little titanium screws that are attached to your jawbone. Once the gums around the implant have healed, crowns, bridges or dentures can be fitted to the implant, replacing your missing tooth.
Dental implants are highly successful way to restore missing teeth. They are durable and they can last for many years – maybe even a lifetime if you take care of them properly. To do this, you will simply need to brush and floss regularly, as well as come and see us for your routine checkups. Dental implants can also improve your oral health by preventing bone loss in your jawbone, where your tooth is missing, as well as protecting your remaining natural teeth from being exposed more to bacteria, which can cause further dental issues.
The advantages of dental implants
There are many benefits to choosing dental implants over other types of tooth replacement. Some of the benefits of dental implants include: the fact that they are permanent. Once your dental implant is in place, it should not need to be replaced as long as you take good care of them. Another reason our dentist Fairfield loves dental implants is because they look and feel like natural teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material that is accepted by your body. This means that your implant should not cause any problems with your gums or other teeth. A further benefit of dental implants is that they also improve your self-esteem when you smile, because you won’t have to be self-conscious about having missing teeth.
How are dental implants fitted?
If you are missing a tooth or teeth, dental implants may be the right solution for you. Here at The Dental Avenue, we can help you understand the process and make an informed decision about whether or not implants are right for you. The process of getting dental implants typically involves having an initial consultation with us to discuss your needs and expectations. During this appointment, we will also examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. If you are a good candidate for dental implants, you will need to return for another appointment to have the implants fitted. This is usually performed under local anaesthesia, and it takes about two hours. We will attach temporary replacement teeth, while your gums are healing for several weeks.
After this, you will then return to have your permanent replacement teeth fitted and you will be able to continue living your life as normal, eating whatever foods you enjoy and chatting away as normal, without needing to worry that your replacement teeth may loosen.
So, whatever treatment you are considering, including dental implants, come and see us at The Dental Avenue and we look forward to helping you get your exciting smile looking and feeling fabulous.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
