Improve Your Smile With Dental Implants

Dental Implants need to be seriously considered if you have lost any teeth. There are few things more frustrating than wanting to break out smiling or laughing only to keep your mouth closed because of missing and damaged teeth. In addition to not being able to enjoy the confidence that a big toothy smile gives, you also then have to deal with the emotional stress, depression, and unease that comes from not being able to just freely enjoy the moment.

This goes well beyond the aesthetic. A healthy mouth also generally means a healthier heart, and there's no denying that when you feel free to laugh or smile you are going to feel better emotionally. This means less stress and better health.

Even beyond that, everyone deserves a beautiful smile and the confidence that brings to every social situation!

Steps And Procedures For Tooth Implant In Sydney

How can Dental Implants help?

Dental technology has come a long way in the last few decades, and you might be surprised just how good your smile can end up looking with implant work, no matter how bad the current look or damage might be. Dental implants are artificial replacements not only for the teeth that everyone sees, but also create crucial replacements for the roots of missing teeth that aren't there anymore, either.

With a solid anchor that fuses with the actual jaw bone, your dental implants will be solidly in place and look completely natural. They can be used to replace a single tooth, several single teeth throughout different parts of the mouth, or even multiple teeth. In fact, getting partial or full dentures permanently attached to your jaw is also an option to replace entire sections of missing teeth or introducing a completely new smile when all the teeth need to go.

There's never been a better time to have a damaged smile repaired and restored to its full glory.

Pre-Process Preparation Since implants are going to be customized for each individual patient, the preparation pre-surgery is extremely important. When you visit a dentist you need to talk about getting implant work done and have a basic checkup that looks at the amount of damage done, if any other teeth need to be removed, and get an idea of what type of implants are going to be the best fit for your specific needs.

In addition to figuring out all this information, you will get up to date dental x-rays that give a clear sense of what your mouth looks like, what type of spaces your dentist will be working with, and that will give the information needed to customize the implants to fit perfectly in your mouth and make the teeth look as good as they used to...or even better in many cases!

Tooth Implant Process - 3 Step Guide

Getting dental implants is a three part process once the initial preparation work is done to get a patient ready for their new implants. No matter how extensive the work, the process is going to remain the same and understanding how it works can put many people at ease.

Part #1: Put In The Jaw Implants To get proper artificial teeth it is important to know that there are multiple parts to the artificial teeth, and part one is all about the jaw implants. These and implanted into the top of the jaw bone deep in the gums, and a screw is put in each one to prevent food debris from entering and causing dry sockets or possible infections. The goal here is to get the implant (made from titanium or another type of metal that is safe to have in the human body) to fuse with the upper part of the jaw bone.

This happens naturally, though if the old teeth have been removed for quite some time you may have to deal with getting bone grafted in since the jaw bone underneath where you used to have teeth can disappear over time in some situations.

Normally the process takes 3 to 6 months for the implant to actually fuse with the jaw bone, and during that time the gums will be secured over the implant to set the base for phase two.

Part #2: Post Extensions Are Attached The implants in the jawbone are the base for the artificial teeth. Next comes the posts. These are extensions that are attached to the anchored implants. These are where the custom cut artificial teeth are going to sit on to help restore that healthy and beautiful smile. The post sits there until the gum tissue heals around it. This allows the implant and post to act as a solid foundation for the new tooth, and the gums will naturally surround it like they do the other teeth in your mouth.

Many patients point to this as one of the more uncomfortable parts of the process, but it is well worth it for the restoration work that follows. This process generally doesn't take nearly as long as part one, meaning the process actually feels like it speeds up at this point, getting you all the closer to those perfect replacement teeth and the smile that will follow.

Part #3: Proper Crowns Are Attached Once the full foundation is ready then it is time to get the proper crowns attached to finish off the surgery and give you artificial teeth that are designed to go decades with relatively little maintenance. They look at size, shape, and color not only of the individual teeth being put in but they consider all of these factors in relation to the healthy teeth left in your mouth.

The goal here is to make your overall smile as natural, healthy-looking, and aesthetically pleasing as possible. By taking a big picture approach you won't have to worry about an individual tooth looking way out of place or those artificial replacement teeth being obviously fake in a way that sticks out.

Once the proper crowns are attached, your smile is restored at that moment and ready to go. You're ready to eat, to socialize, to bust out into a big bell laugh with teeth showing. This is the final part of the process and the one that, as a patient, you have spend months working on and waiting for.

The unspoken fourth part of this process is to simply enjoy - and to enjoy the surge of confidence that comes with having the best smile of your life.
