Thanks to modern technology, there are now numerous ways you can restore your smile and your quality of life. If you’re considering implants, you may be curious about what’s involved, so here’s some helpful information that you’ll need to start your journey towards a confident smile.
Dental implants have been used for many years as a replacement for natural tooth roots. Made from safe, durable materials, they’re attached to a patient’s jawbone or gum tissue to form a stable base for dental crowns, bridges and dentures. Dental implants offer many benefits, including:
– They’re more durable than bridges and dentures, so you can freely enjoy the foods you love
– They prevent bone loss
– They have a natural and realistic appearance
– They improve self-confidence and quality of life
– They don’t rely on age for you to be eligible for treatment
Dental implant treatment follows a three-step process that can take 3-6 months to complete.
First, your dentist will remove any damaged teeth and place your implant into your jaw before covering it with a screw. Your implant will fuse with your jawbone over 3-6 months, and your gum will secure itself over the implant.
Once your implant has successfully fused, your dentist will uncover the implant and attach an extension known as a post. Your gum will need time to heal around the post which, together with the implant, will stabilise the new tooth.
Finally, your dentist will examine the size, shape and colour of your teeth to ensure they make the perfect crown for you. Once it’s made, it will be attached to the post.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on how many teeth need replacing, and if you’ll need a bone graft or sinus lift. The typical cost of implants in Australia is between $3,000 and $5,500 per tooth. If you require additional bone graft or sinus lift procedures, the cost can rise to $11,500.
