What to Expect in Getting a Dental Implant

Once you have decided to get a dental implant, the treatment is completed within two separate stages.

Stage OneStage Two

You’ll go to a specialist practice to have the implant placed. This surgery is completed while you’re completely anaesthetised, so you’ll be comfortable throughout the procedure. A healing period is then necessary to ensure that the implant integrates with your jawbone. This process can take about three months. After that’s been completed, you’ll return to our clinic to complete the next step.

We’ll take impressions to design the perfect restoration. A bridge, crown or denture can be placed on the implant or implants, depending on what your particular needs are. After the suitable device has been crafted, it’ll be seamlessly put into place.

Keeping Your Dental Implant Healthy

Now that you have your implant, you can brush, floss and have regular checkups to ensure that your dental implant stays healthy, just like the rest of your teeth. Though your implant won’t get a cavity or discolour like a normal tooth, the gum around it can still get gum disease. That’s why it’s essential that you treat it as a natural tooth with the proper brushing and flossing techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a type of restoration used to replace missing or damaged teeth. They are extremely durable and can last for a lifetime with proper care. Additionally, dental implants help to improve bite strength and provide support for the jaw and facial structures. Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants offer several advantages such as: Being stronger than natural teeth, not affecting neighbouring teeth, being hypoallergenic, and being safe and comfortable during installation.

Who is a good candidate for implants?

However, the final decision on whether dental implants are the right choice for you depends on various factors such as overall health and the structure of the jaw and bone.

How long does dental implant last?

A quality dental implant will last a lifetime with proper care. There are two parts to a dental implant – the dental screw that fuses with your jaw bone, and the dental crown that is placed over the implant which is the visible part. A dental crown may need to be replaced every 15 years depending on a number of factors, like how well it is cared for. Grinding and clenching your teeth may wear down a dental crown more quickly. We’ll discuss ongoing care as part of consult so you have an idea of all the long-term costs associated with your chosen treatment.
