Are you missing teeth and want to regain your beautiful smile? Dental Implants are the perfect solution! Whether you’re missing just the one tooth or many, implants are a permanent and effective solution that’s integrated directly into your jawbone.
Here at Tarneit Dental Care our dental implants are made of ultra-strong titanium with crowns that go above the gum made from ceramic, porcelain, and precious metals. The procedure involves anchoring the artificial tooth to the jaw bone for stability and durability.
Dental implants offer a number of advantages over other restoration solutions:
Aesthetics
Dental implants are available in a range of sizes and configurations. Our dental clinic has single-tooth replacements to entire lower and upper sections. They can restore your smile and give you your confidence back all while looking just like a natural tooth.
Bone and Mouth Health
They allow you to replace a single damaged tooth without sacrificing the function and health of your neighbouring teeth. Unlike natural teeth, implants don’t decay and it’s impossible to get a cavity. They’re also great for your bones as the implants are replacing the root of your tooth meaning bone loss is much less likely. But do remember to continue to brush and floss your teeth to keep your gums healthy.
Durability
One of the key benefits of dental implants is that they are the most permanent solution around! The implants are fused to your jaw, making them very stable. This process is much more secure, comfortable, and reliable than installing dentures, which typically last up to eight years. Dental implants are perfect for a long term option and can be just as durable as your natural teeth. They can also be used to support dental bridges and secure removable or fixed dentures.
They Act Just Like Your Natural Teeth
You don’t have to worry about them harming neighbouring teeth. They can be made in any size to fit you perfectly so that nobody will be able to tell the difference. And unlike other methods, there’s no need for other teeth to be altered or moved when preparing for the implants. And just like your natural teeth, do take care of them so they last a long time.
There’s No Age Restriction
You can get dental implants at any age, as long as your jaw is fully developed. This does usually mean you need to be over the age of 17, but there’s no cap to when you can get them. As long as your mouth is healthy and your dentist has done an exam to confirm so.
There’s many advantages to getting dental implants, but there are a few things to consider before booking your appointment. It is a lengthy process, so make sure you’re prepared to put in the work. The process of getting the implants can take a long time and it can take up to six months for them to fuse with your jawbone. During this time you can also be susceptible to infections, so ensure you are taking good care of your oral health to stave infection off. And lastly, they can be quite costly. This permanent and effective solution can come with a price tag so check with a dentist near you to see if they have any payment plans.
