Dental Implants at Dianella Dental Surgery
Dental implants are state-of-the-art tooth replacement solutions that offer stability, functionality, and aesthetics comparable to natural teeth. At Dianella Dental Surgery, we specialize in implant dentistry, providing patients with durable and long-lasting solutions for missing teeth.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants integrate with the surrounding bone tissue through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
Natural Appearance
Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth in both appearance and function, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Durability and Longevity
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
Preservation of Jawbone
Dental implants help preserve jawbone density and prevent bone loss, maintaining facial structure and preventing facial sagging.
The Implant Process:
- Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, our implant dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals to determine if dental implants are the right option for you.
- Implant Placement: The implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The implants are carefully placed into the jawbone at precise locations determined during the treatment planning stage.
- Healing Period: After implant placement, a healing period of several months is required to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone fully. During this time, temporary restorations may be placed to maintain aesthetics and functionality.
- Restoration: Once the implants have fully integrated, custom-made dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, are attached to the implants to replace missing teeth and restore oral function.
