Dental implants are a significant financial and emotional investment, but they can last 15 years or more if correctly maintained. They look, feel and function just like natural teeth.
Your All-on-Four dentist will thoroughly check your teeth and bite, along with x-rays of your jaw and medical history, to assess suitability for this treatment. For more information about the My-Dentist dental implants Adelaide, click here.
How We Can Help You
Firstly, your dentist will examine your gums and jaws to ensure they are suitable for treatment. They will also perform a CT scan and check your medical history to ensure no factors could impact your implant’s success.
Your dentist will then insert the implant into your jawbone and wait for it to heal. Once it has healed, they will attach an abutment to the implant, and the post, your custom tooth crown, will go on top of it. This will create a tooth bridge that looks, feels and functions like your natural teeth. The result is a beautiful smile and the ability to chew, speak and smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent teeth replacement for missing teeth. The teeth will look, feel and function like natural teeth to give you back a complete smile. They can also be used to replace a bridge that has failed or an existing denture. For more information about the My-Dentist dental implants Adelaide, click here.
If your dentist recommends an implant, the first step is a minor surgical procedure to place the titanium screw in your jawbone. After this, the area needs to heal for several months. Once the implant has healed, your dentist will fit an abutment to support a tooth crown.
You will likely be able to claim some of the costs of your dental implants through your private health insurance or a flexible spending account (FSA). Check with your health fund to find out what is covered.
Digital Smile Design
Digital smile design is an advanced dental technology that combines photographic images, dynamic video recording and computer software analysis to create a virtual model of your perfect smile. The process considers your lips, eyes, and the shape of your face to ensure your new teeth are in harmony with the rest of your facial features.
The dental implant, a cosmetic procedure, is a titanium screw placed into your jaw bone (similar to a tooth root). Your dentist will then place a crown over the abutment, creating a fully functional and permanent replacement for missing teeth.
Dental implants are the perfect alternative to dentures and partials. Unlike these devices, dental implants will not slip or slide and do not require a specialised daily oral care routine. Dental implants are also long-lasting and durable, requiring minimal maintenance. For more information about the My-Dentist dental implants Adelaide, click here.
Dentures
When compared to traditional dentures, dental implant-supported dentures offer more stability. They won’t shift or come loose, allowing you to enjoy all the foods you love without worrying. However, they will still need to be removed for cleaning, and a dentist should be consulted about any sore spots or discomfort.
A quality set of dentures can restore your smile and boost your confidence. Our specialists can provide a full or partial denture that fits comfortably and looks natural. We can also create a hybrid solution that uses dental implants to support your denture, increasing comfort and durability.
The cost of dental implant-supported dentures varies depending on several factors, including whether you’re getting conventional or immediate dentures, replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth, and which clinic you visit. A reputable dental professional will always be upfront and honest about your costs, and they should offer various payment options to suit you.
