Dental implants are screw-like fixtures, usually made of biocompatible material such as titanium, that are used as tooth root replacements. They osseointegrate (bond) to jaws to provide support for crowns and dentures.

Your jawbone begins to shrink from lack of bone stimulation. Losing your teeth will affect your facial shape, causing you to look prematurely aged.

Anyone who has lost a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth is a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants can be placed in most adults. Ask your Kallangur dentist about the benefits and risks to see if dental implants are right for you.

When a single tooth or multiple teeth are lost, dental implants can replace them. Dental implants can last for a long time. They can improve your facial appearance, your confidence, your ability to eat the foods you like, and help you participate in an active lifestyle, without worries.

Like any other minor oral surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection, inflammation, and pain, but your Kallangur dentist will discuss how these can be managed for your situation.

If there is no bone available to put the implant in, bone and gum grafting procedures may be required, which can cause extra expense. However, an upfront investment can pay off in the long term.

No. Dental implants are usually placed under local anaesthesia. Most treatments can be completed in our dental clinic in Kallangur.

They may be placed as quickly as 30 to 60 minutes depending on the location and the number of implants to be set.

A bone or gum graft may be needed if your Kallangur dentist determines there is not sufficient bone or gum tissue.

Treatment time varies by patient. Typically, you will have some temporary teeth until your implants integrate with the bone. Your Kallangur dentist can provide a time estimate based on your treatment needs.

You may return to your daily routine the next day unless otherwise instructed. Your Kallangur dentist may prescribe medication to alleviate any minor pain you may experience.

Home care for your implants consists of regular brushing and flossing. Regular dental visits are essential for long-term health.

No, dental implants are fixed in the bone and function in a manner that is closest to natural teeth.
