If you have missing or broken teeth, you have likely experienced difficulties eating or even speaking, or lack self-confidence due to the gap in your smile. Sydney Smile Care dental practice offers dental implants in Burwood, giving you access to this innovative procedure close to home.
Dental implants are a long-term treatment option designed to restore the look, feel, and function of natural teeth, helping improve your confidence and quality of life. As with all dental procedures, outcomes can vary, and ongoing care is important to maintain results.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you have lost a tooth or multiple teeth the gaps in your teeth lead to bone loss in your jaw, which changes the structure of your jawline and causes teeth to shift. This can result in decay of teeth near the gap, which can cause further tooth and bone loss.
If you want to restore your smile with a natural-looking, permanent solution, you may be a candidate for teeth implants in Burwood. The ideal candidate is in good oral and overall health, has sufficient jawbone to support an implant and is committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
Single-Tooth Implants
An implant is a tiny biocompatible titanium post that is inserted into the jaw. The implant fuses with the jawbone as it heals, and acts as the root and anchor for your new tooth.
Once the healing process is complete, an abutment is placed on top of the implant to keep the gums from growing over it. A porcelain crown is then attached, providing a natural-looking tooth so you can eat, speak, and smile normally.
Multiple Teeth Implants
If you are missing multiple teeth, you may qualify for a full arch implant. Multiple teeth implants are a great alternative to uncomfortable and restrictive dentures, which do not help to maintain bone density.
Dental implants can be used to secure a large dental bridge that helps restore your natural smile and bite. Unlike dentures, which typically need to be replaced or refitted every few years, dental implants are designed to be a durable, long-term solution. Their success and longevity depend on individual factors such as oral health, maintenance, and lifestyle habits.
Digitally Guided Surgery
At Sydney Smile Care, we can use guided dental implant surgery to place your teeth implants in Burwood accurately and safely. Digitally guided surgery uses advanced imaging technology to guide the dentist as the implants are installed.
The dentist uses advanced digital planning tools and CT scans to assess the optimal placement for your implant. This technology supports precise treatment planning and may help streamline the procedure. Healing and recovery times vary for each patient, and your dentist will discuss what you can expect based on your individual circumstances. In some cases, same-day surgery and restoration may be suitable, depending on your treatment plan and clinical assessment.
