Discover The Many Benefits Of Dental Implants
Prevent Bone Loss
One of the best reasons for getting dental implants in Campbelltown is they help prevent bone loss. When a tooth is lost, the bone is resorbed because it no longer receives the stimulation supplied by natural teeth. Implants restore stimulation and prevent further bone loss.
Match Your Natural Teeth
The crown that tops a dental implant is designed to match the colour, shape, and size of the surrounding teeth, so it blends seamlessly into the smile. No one will ever know the difference.
Can Last A Lifetime
When correctly cared for, Campbelltown patients could potentially keep their implants for life, although the porcelain crown will eventually need replacing. On average, implants can be expected to last a decade, making them a cost-effective alternative to dentures and bridges that need regular replacement.
Restore Bite Force
Dental implants at our Campbelltown dental surgery are anchored into the jaw with titanium posts. As a result, they can withstand practically the same amount of biting force as natural teeth, meaning patients can eat what they want without restriction.
Standalone Treatment
Dental implants in Campbelltown, NSW, are a standalone treatment that does not affect other teeth. The implants are embedded into the jawbone and, unlike a dental bridge, for example, do not require adjacent healthy teeth to be modified to support it.
Easy Maintenance
Not only do dental implants look, feel, and act just like natural teeth, they’re cared for in the same way too. Campbelltown patients are advised to brush and floss their implants as part of their daily oral routine and visit our dentist for regular check-ups.
What’s The Procedure?
Receiving dental implants in Campbelltown can take up to nine months or longer, although some patients may be eligible for All-on-4 dental implants (teeth in a day). The procedure for a single implant can be split into three stages as follows:
- Implant surgery + several weeks or months waiting for the bone to fuse with the implant post
- A second short surgery to place the abutment + A couple of weeks while the gums heal
- Installing the dental crown – A short procedure that takes no more than an hour
Can Anyone Have Dental Implants?
Unfortunately, not all Campbelltown patients are candidates for dental implants. They must be able to undergo surgery, and they need to have sufficient bone for successful implant surgery. They also need to have good oral health. Some medical conditions make implants less viable such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Smokers are also more prone to implant failure. A comprehensive examination and CT scans will determine an individual’s suitability for dental implants.
Dental implants can transform lives. Change yours for the better.
Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
