Living with one or more missing teeth presents daily challenges that most of us take for granted. For example, imagine being self-conscious about eating at a restaurant with family or friends because you can't chew your favourite food comfortably. Or maybe you feel nervous about interacting with your family and friends because of the gaps in your smile.
Whatever the case, dental implants in Lower Plenty offer an excellent solution for restoring your smile and confidence.
How the Implant Procedure Works: A Step-by-Step Guide
Tooth implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement because they restore both your lost root and tooth, closely mimicking your natural tooth. There is no other tooth replacement option that offers these benefits.
Step One
The first step is determining if tooth implants are the right solution for you. Our dentists can do this during an evaluation.
Step Two
Next, if you move forward with implant treatment, is the placement surgery. Our dentists can walk you through this process, and we even offer options for sedation with general anaesthetic for patients who feel nervous or anxious about their dental treatment.
Step Three
After your implant placement surgery, it will take three to six months for your tooth implant to fuse and integrate with your bone through a process called osseointegration. Our dentists will monitor your implant throughout the healing process.
Step Four
When it's ready, your dentist will design the appropriate restoration to restore your smile and chewing function. This is a customised porcelain crown for single-tooth replacement and a bridge or denture to restore multiple missing teeth.
