Wondering if dental implants are for you? Five advantages of having oral implants with Spa Dental Sydney

Whether you are seventeen or seventy, the loss of a tooth can be more than an annoyance.

Impacting on more than just the appearance of your smile, many people are surprised to discover that once they lose one of multiple teeth, their oral health declines and their surrounding teeth can become unstable. Not very desirable!

Even if you have a fitted bridge or a partial denture, you are not immune to these issues. Also, while dentures were once the mainstay of restorative dental procedures, many patients find that their dentures become ill-fitting, and can rub against the gum line causing sores and ulcers.

Is there a more permanent solution to missing teeth that bypasses these issues? Luckily, yes there is! Today, more and more dental surgeries are offering patients dental implants, as a way of stabilising their remaining natural teeth and restoring their smile, without impacting on their confidence.

At Spa Dental Sydney CBD, we can offer all of our patients dental implants. If you need a single tooth replaced or require a full set of dentures to be secured to your jaws, we can help! We know first hand how tough it can be to go about your daily life with gaps in your teeth and so, we will ensure that you will leave our surgery with a more functional (and better looking) smile.

But what are the other advantages of dental implants at Spa Dental Sydney CBD?

Speech

When you lose a tooth or teeth, your jaw recedes and your tongue has more room to move about.

While this may not sound like an issue, many of our patients at Spa Dental Sydney CBD report that losing teeth impacts negatively on their speech. Having implants fitted will stop many vocal issues in their path and will improve your speech and inflection.

Comfort

OK, so we admit that having something drilled into your jaw does not sound comfortable.

However, while the discomfort of having implants fitted is no worse than a dental extraction, you may be amazed at how comfortable your new teeth and implants feel. Secure and immovable, there will be no rubbing against the gums or ulcers; just a stable set of teeth doing their job!

Longevity

If you have good oral hygiene, avoid smoking or drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, then your dental implants should last up to 40 years. Now that’s longevity!

Oral health

Gaps in your teeth can act as a magnet for bacteria and plaque to accumulate.

As many people overlook the need to brush their bare gums after a tooth is removed, these areas can become inflamed or even impact on the health of surrounding natural teeth.

Having gaps filled with implants will reduce areas for plaque to accumulate and will, of course, make your entire mouth easier to clean correctly.

Natural feel

Our patients who have had implants fitted have commented on how they feel like real teeth.

Attached to your jaw, implants provide realistic feelings of pressure when chewing food.
