Dental implants can offer an ideal tooth replacement solution for people who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or other dental conditions. At our Dee Why dental clinic, we provide advanced implant solutions to restore both function and aesthetics.
Candidates for implants should be in good general and oral health and have adequate jawbone density to support the implant. A Dee Why dentist will conduct a comprehensive assessment, including a 3D X-ray (CBCT), to determine suitability for the procedure and ensure sufficient bone quality.
As part of our general dentistry services, we offer customised restorations, including a dental crown or bridge, to complete the implant process and provide a natural-looking, long-lasting result.
What are the benefits?
Implants provide a number of important cosmetic and functional benefits:
- They are an excellent long term solution, providing teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth.
- You can clean implants along with natural teeth.
- Implants are strong enough to provide a reliable foundation for chewing.
- They prevent further bone loss and help to maintain the jawbone’s shape and density. This ensures the integrity of the facial structure and facial appearance.
- Single implants do not involve the adjacent teeth, unlike traditional options such as bridges.
- They can be a definitive solution to replacing teeth.
- Unlike a bridge, the adjacent teeth do not need to be cut or prepared. So an implant avoids the need to cut otherwise perfect unfilled teeth.
- They do not come out or slip unlike removable dentures-so there is no discomfort or embarrassment.
There are many different types of dental implant available and your dentist will advise you.
Considerations
Implants may not be for everyone! If you have some general health issues, you may find that they are not the best solution for you. You should discuss this with your dentist. Your initial consultation will confirm your suitability.
