What are dental implants?
Dental implants are one of the popular cosmetic dental treatments for missing teeth. Gum disease, tartar and plaque buildup, poor or lack of dental hygiene, and tooth decay are just some causes of tooth loss. Dental implants are needed when you have lost teeth but are unable to or do not want to get crowns, bridges, or dentures .
Because the effect of losing or removing a tooth and doing nothing can become a much bigger problem as time goes on, it is essential to replace a missing tooth. Our experienced dentists in Leichhardt recommend dental implants to patients who miss one or more teeth or even all of them.
Advantages of Tooth Implant
Dental implants with a crown are low-maintenance, requiring just good dental hygiene practice to ensure they last as long as possible.
Implants can give you a beautiful smile, letting you smile and speak confidently.
Dental implants are now indistinguishable from real teeth, thanks to contemporary technology and materials.
Dental implants can be fitted with a denture, bridge, or crown to serve as an artificial tooth. This allows you and our dentist to work together to come up with the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
Leichhardt Dental Implants Process
During the first stage of surgery, our Leichhardt dentist will give you local anaesthesia to numb your mouth. Once the medication takes effect, he will create a hole in your gum to reveal the bone.
Our dentist will utilise a drill after the incision to make room in the bone for the implant screw.
After this, you must wait for a few months for the bone and implant to bond together, to ensure there is a firm connection. You go through the second stage of the treatment when it heals.
Our dentist in Burwood will expose the implant again through a different incision during this next appointment. He’ll then attach the abutment and make an impression of the tooth to be crowned. You get your new crown during the last step.
