Implants
Losing a tooth can impact more than just your appearance; it can affect your ability to chew, speak, and even your overall oral health. At Dickson Park Dental Surgery in Dickson, Canberra, we offer dental implants – the most advanced and natural-looking solution for permanently replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, providing a durable and long-lasting foundation for a beautiful, confident smile. Our experienced team in Canberra will guide you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to the final restoration, ensuring a comfortable and successful outcome.
What Are Dental Implants? Your Permanent Tooth Solution
A dental implant is essentially an artificial tooth root, typically made of biocompatible titanium. It's surgically placed into your jawbone where the tooth is missing, providing a strong and stable foundation for a replacement tooth.
The Components of a Dental Implant:
-
The Implant (Fixture): A small, screw-shaped titanium post that acts as the new tooth root. It integrates with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
-
The Abutment: A small connector piece that attaches to the implant, protruding above the gum line.
-
The Restoration: The visible part of the tooth replacement, which can be a single crown, a dental bridge, or a custom denture, securely fitted onto the abutment.
Because dental implants fuse with your jawbone, they offer unmatched stability and longevity compared to traditional tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges that rely on adjacent teeth.
Dental Implant Surgery in Canberra: The Foundation of Your New Smile
The dental implant surgery is the first crucial step in your journey to a restored smile. At Dickson Park Dental Surgery, we ensure this procedure is performed with precision, care, and your comfort as our top priority.
The Surgical Process:
-
Comprehensive Planning: We start with a thorough examination, including 3D imaging (CBCT scans) to assess your jawbone density and identify the optimal placement for the implant(s). This detailed planning ensures predictable and successful results.
-
Implant Placement: During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium implant post is carefully placed into the jawbone beneath the gum tissue. This is typically done under local anaesthesia, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure. We also offer sedation options for anxious patients.
-
Healing (Osseointegration): After placement, there's a crucial healing period, usually 3-6 months. During this time, the implant fuses directly with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for your new tooth.
-
Abutment Placement (if needed): In some cases, a second minor surgery might be required to attach the abutment (connector piece) to the implant once osseointegration is complete. In many modern procedures, the abutment can be attached during the initial placement.
We'll provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful healing process after your implant surgery in Dickson.
Implant Restoration: Completing Your Natural-Looking Smile
Once your dental implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, the final stage is the implant restoration – attaching the custom-made prosthetic tooth or teeth. This is where your new smile truly comes to life at Dickson Park Dental Surgery.
Types of Implant Restorations:
-
Single Tooth Implant Crown: For replacing a single missing tooth, a custom-made crown (often porcelain or zirconia) is securely attached to the implant via the abutment. This looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridge: If you're missing several adjacent teeth, two or more implants can support a custom bridge, replacing multiple teeth without affecting your natural healthy teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Dentures: For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implants can provide incredible stability for dentures. This eliminates the slipping, discomfort, and irritation often associated with traditional dentures, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence. These can be fixed or removable.
Our skilled team in Canberra will take precise impressions of your mouth to ensure your custom restoration is perfectly designed to match your existing teeth in colour, shape, and size, providing a seamless and beautiful result.
The Unmatched Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants at Dickson Park Dental Surgery offers significant advantages over other tooth replacement options:
-
Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making it hard to tell the difference.
-
Improved Function: They restore your full chewing power, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods without discomfort.
-
Enhanced Confidence: Say goodbye to worries about your teeth slipping or looking unnatural. Smile, laugh, and speak with renewed self-assurance.
-
Bone Preservation: Unlike bridges or dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This helps maintain your facial structure.
-
Durability and Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a wise long-term investment in your oral health.
-
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants don't require altering healthy adjacent teeth.
