What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a modern solution to replace one or more missing teeth. An implant consists of an artificial titanium screw, which is placed directly into the jawbone to act as a substitute for the root portion of the natural tooth. The implant is made of pure titanium, allowing new bone cells to grow around it and eventually integrate with the newly formed bone, securely locking it into place. This process is known as ‘Osseointegration’. Implants provide a stable foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are designed to match your natural teeth. Dental implants are the most natural-looking and healthy option available to replace missing teeth.

A Dental Implant can be used to replace –

  • One tooth: One implant will be placed, and a crown will then be fixed on top of it.
  • Several teeth:  Both implants and crowns will be placed, or a dental bridge will be fitted onto the implants.
  • All the teeth: Several implants are placed, and then either a fixed bridge will be fitted onto them or the implants will hold a removable denture firmly.

How do Dental Implants work?

Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.

For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are uncomfortable or even possible due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth. An advantage of dental implants in Bulleen is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place.

 Advantages of Dental Implants Melbourne

  • Improved appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. Because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become fixed.
  • Improved speech: Poor-fitting dentures can cause teeth to slip into your mouth, causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants in Bulleen allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
  • Improved comfort: Because implants become part of you, they eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
  • Easier eating: Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like teeth, allowing you to eat your favourite foods confidently and without pain.
  • Improved self-esteem: Dental implants can restore your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
  • Improved oral health: Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
  • Durability: Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
  • Convenience: Removable dentures are just that removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures and the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of dental implants?

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants, the complexity of the case, and any additional treatments needed. At Lincoln Dental, we provide an initial consultation to assess your needs and discuss the expected costs. We strive to offer affordable options, ensuring that dental implants remain accessible for our patients.

Can anyone get Dental Implants?

A dentist or an Oral surgeon will do some assessments to identify your suitability for an implant. In most cases, anyone healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a Dental Implant. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant. They also must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Heavy smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders — such as diabetes or heart disease — or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right.

How painful are Dental Implants?

Most people who have received dental implants say there is very little discomfort in the procedure. Local anaesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction.

How do I care for Dental Implants?

Dental Implants require the same care as real teeth, including brushing, flossing, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups.
