A missing tooth can do more than affect your appearance and confidence. The gap in your gums can also affect the alignment of teeth and increase the risk of developing other dental conditions. Dental implants are an ideal solution for replacing teeth when they are badly damaged due to disease, decay or trauma. A dental implant is a procedure whereby a metal implant, usually a small titanium screw, is surgically placed into the jawbone which acts as a root for the artificial tooth, bridges or dentures. Over time, the metal implant fuses with the jaw bone and remains a strong support for the fake teeth. A natural tooth coloured crown is then placed over the dental Implant.

What are the procedures included in a dental implant at Tooth Implant Sydney?

First Visit: Your first consultation will include a detailed examination and treatment plan session. Our team will help you understand if you’re a good candidate for dental implants, as well as how they can improve your oral health. Our tooth implant specialists will assess your jawbone and available tissue. For this information, necessary X-rays will also be ordered. For smaller teeth, front teeth, pre-molars, and for patients where bone tissue density is low, mini dental implants will be considered.

Second Visit: During this visit, the dental implant will be inserted during a minor oral surgery that generally takes 30 to 60 minutes. Before this procedure, the damaged tooth will be removed, if present. If there is no tooth present, the gum is prepared by numbing it and then sliced and folded back to allow the bone to be drilled to receive the dental implant. A healing cap is then inserted and a temporary tooth is provided during healing. The dental surgeon will usually wait for 2-4 months before proceeding with the next procedure.

Third Visit: After the healing is done, we will commence on the final stages of preparing the gum tissue and finally the crown or bridge. X-rays will be done by our oral surgeon to ensure that the implants have fused with the bones. If the surgeon finds that the implant has been integrated well with the jawbone, the dentist can start constructing the crown or bridge by making tooth impressions. In some cases an abutment or collar is placed to allow the gums to further heal correctly.

Final Visit: The visit is to permanently insert the new crown or bridge.

Why a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a permanent solution which involves fixing a titanium post on the jaw bone. The post ossifies into the jaw bone with time to form a permanent and strong base for a replacement crown. Our dental implants Sydney are carried out over a period of several months to allow the titanium post to fuse with the jaw bone. Once the post is in place a custom-made crown is then fitted to give a natural impression. The crown is not noticeable and no one can tell the difference between your natural teeth and the implant. Whether you have lost your tooth through injury or decay our dentist will evaluate the state of your dental outlook before starting the procedure.
