Most dentists recommend dental implants over other tooth replacement options. They are a long-lasting and maintenance-free solution.
Your dentist in Highgate Hill, QLD, offers various tooth replacement options, including dental implants!
How Dental Implants Work
We arrange a tooth replacement consultation in our dental clinic to determine your candidacy. This visit typically includes x-rays, a conversation with the dentist, a discussion on costs, and answers to any questions you might have. Candidacy can be immediate, or you may need pretreatments.
If implants are unsuitable, the dentist will tell you why and discuss alternatives.
Should you proceed with dental implants, we carefully plan your implant treatment, which includes:
- Dental implant placement surgery (replacing the lost tooth root)
- An integration period (time set aside for healing)
- Tooth or prosthetic attachment to the tooth root
Your placement surgery is not painful, and you can enjoy your new smile immediately after a tooth or prosthetic attachment, which means we fix a crown to the tooth root or rely on four to six roots to fix an upper or lower arch of new teeth.
Dental Implant Maintenance
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants in Highgate, QLD, require no special upkeep. You brush and floss like before and continue visiting your dentist for checks and cleans.
Excellent oral hygiene and ongoing dental care are vital to long-term implant success.
Dental Implant Longevity
Dental implants can last decades and sometimes for life. To promote implant longevity, see the dentist regularly and maintain excellent oral hygiene at home.
