Missing teeth? Spa Dental Sydney has a dentist in Sydney who can help

We understand how difficult it can be to have missing teeth; it can affect your self-esteem and can cause further dental problems if left untreated. Sometimes, finding a trusted solution can feel daunting. You may not be keen on the idea of dentures – it reminds you of Granny’s teeth that used to slip off and on again when she was talking. Thankfully, at Spa Dental Sydney, we can offer you a treatment for replacing missing teeth that will give you securely fitted replacement teeth that will look and feel like your natural teeth. With dental implants, your dentist in Sydney at Spa Dental Sydney can fit your replacement teeth and you may not require replacement teeth again if you look after them properly.

What are dental implants and are they worth considering?

Dental implants are titanium screws that are attached to your jaw bone. They act as artificial roots for your replacement teeth – crowns or bridges – and they provide stable and secure posts for these replacement teeth to be attached to. The beauty of dental implants is that once your dentist in Sydney has fitted them here at Spa Dental Sydney, you will be able to eat and drink what you want, without the fear of them loosening. They are also easy to look after; all you need to do is brush and floss regularly and maintain good oral hygiene. Another benefit is that people won’t know they aren’t your real teeth unless you choose to tell them (but, shhhh! We won’t say a word!)

Another benefit of implants is that they should be more comfortable than dentures, which can be uncomfortable for some patients. The screws can be attached to your jaw using local anaesthetic and once fitted, they can give your face a fuller look if it had become shrunken due to the missing teeth. What’s more, they can prevent your jaw from bone shrinkage. If you don’t have enough bone to attach the screws to, we can do a bone graft to ensure you have enough bone to have successful implants that will be the closest thing to having your natural teeth back.

Anything else I need to know?

If you’re interested in getting dental implants, the first thing you need to do is have a consultation to discuss what treatment you would require. During the consultation, you may need x-rays or scans. We will assess your needs and diagnose the best treatment plan for you. With our vast experience spanning over 30 years, we can offer you the most up-to-date modern implant technology and treatment to give you a winning smile. If you need a full mouth of implants, we have state-of-the-art CT scanners that can be used to plot where we would need to put in just 4 titanium screws to replace all of your teeth. This is known as ‘All on 4’, but we also like to think of it as ‘fabulous’.

So, if dental implants sound like they could be a treatment you need, don’t hesitate to contact us and we will use our expertise to give you the smile you deserve.
