Dental implants for missing tooth or multiple teeth are a lasting and effective way to replace the missing tooth/teeth. Being one of the best dental service providers in Townville, we have been helping many adults restore smiles through functional and natural-looking dental implants.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that are surgically placed into the jaw. Implants are made from bio compatible material which allows them to fuse with the jaw bone.

Over time, the bone grows around the implant, making them a permanent fixture in the mouth. A porcelain tooth (crown) is then attached to the implant to fill in the gap left by the missing tooth.

Before the treatment, our dentists will examine your mouth to ensure that you’re a suitable patient for dental implant surgery. This will be dependent on how healthy your gums are and if you have sufficient jaw bone to hold the implant.

How long does the procedure take?

Our dental implants in Cranbrook are placed in stages over a few months (with multiple appointments required).

First, you’re required to have x-rays to give our dentists a clear picture of where to place the implants. The surgery to integrate the implants generally takes one hour per implant.

Next, you’ll be required to wait a few months while the bone grows around the implant. This can vary between 3 to 9 months, but we recommend regular check-ups so that your dentist can monitor progress. The last step involves placing the dental crowns.

Front Teeth Dentures

Many patients have problems with unstable dentures. Dental implants can be used to stabilise or replace 4 front teeth dentures.

They can be used either to support full dentures or as an alternative to oral adhesives. This treatment is a preferred alternative for some patients.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Our dental implants in Townsville are a preferred treatment for a number of reasons:

Looks like real teeth: This treatment accentuates your best smile and improves your confidence.
Feels like real teeth: Missing teeth don’t just affect your appearance. They also make it harder to chew, bite, and speak. Implants restore functionality again to improve comfort.
Independent from surrounding teeth: Dental implants treat only the gaps missing (or the damaged teeth that require extractions). This means that the healthy enamel of the surrounding natural teeth is preserved.
Comfortable and stable: Unlike dentures, dental implants are not removable. Their stability makes it easy and natural to continue eating all of your favourite foods.
Durable: Implants can’t decay like real teeth can. They’re designed to last a lifetime when well-cared-for.

How to take care of my dental implants?

After surgery: You may experience bruising, swelling, bleeding and pain until your implant site heals. It’s best you eat soft foods for the first few days after surgery.
Life-long care: Dental implants require the same effort of care as natural teeth. Although they cannot decay like real teeth can, it’s very important you don’t neglect your regular twice-daily brushing and flossing routine.

Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, but poor oral hygiene habits could cause them to fail if bacteria or infection builds up in the gum.
