Dental Implants in Burwood
Do you have a missing tooth that you want to fill, that is both excellent in quality yet relatively affordable to access?
A Dental Implant may be the solution for you!
A Dental Implant is a dental operation procedure to replace a missing tooth. Through a series of minor operations, dental implants are permanently attached to your jawbone.
The process looks like this:
-
A series of scans and x-rays are firstly conducted in order to give dentists a clear picture of where to place the implant relative to your jaw and mouth structure.
-
A dental implant, which is a piece of metal that resembles a small screw is permanently attached to the jawbone in place of where the missing tooth’s roots were. This procedure is conducted with a local anaesthetic so that it is a relatively comfortable and pain-free experience.
-
Over a number of months, the bones around the jaw start to grow around the implant, which helps to hold it in place. A series of dental visits will take place to ensure that this is the case.
-
Once the implant is sufficiently stable, the dentist will make a mould of your mouth that will be used to make an artificial tooth or number of teeth.
-
An artificial tooth or crown, is then specifically tailor-made to look like your remaining teeth in shape, size and colour, is then placed and fixated on the dental implant ‘screw’ to fill the gap.
-
You can then enjoy the teeth and smile that you once had!
Dental Implant procedure is a slow process that will involve a number of dental visits, as well as a series of scans and x-rays to ensure that your treatment is on track; especially having to be reliant on the slow natural growth of bone in the jaw around the implant.
