Dental Implants at gentledentistry Erindale
Restore Your Smile With Our Experienced Team.
Welcome to gentledentistry in Erindale! Dr. Brandon Hoe and our expert team are committed to providing exceptional dental care with the latest technology and techniques. One of our premier restorative services is dental implants – a permanent solution for missing teeth that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a durable and effective way to replace missing teeth. They consist of three main components:
- Implant: A titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a tooth root.
- Abutment: A connector piece that attaches the implant to the crown.
- Crown: A custom-made prosthetic tooth that is placed on top of the abutment, restoring the appearance and function of your natural tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural look.
- Durability: Made from strong, biocompatible materials, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving your natural tooth structure.
- Enhanced Comfort and Function: Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
The Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation: Schedule a consultation with one of our dentists to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. During this visit, we will discuss your dental history, conduct a thorough examination, and take X-rays or 3D scans.
- Customised Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, we will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
- Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia or sedation by a specialist. Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implant has successfully integrated, an abutment is attached to the implant post, serving as a connector for the crown.
- Crown Placement: A custom-made crown is securely placed onto the abutment, completing the restoration and giving you a natural-looking and fully functional tooth.
- Aftercare and Follow-Up: We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your dental implants. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and maintain your oral health.
