Advantages of dental implants from our dentist

Do you have a missing tooth or teeth?

If so, you will know how difficult it can be to smile for photographs or talk to a group without concern, especially if the missing tooth is located near the front of your mouth.

But as tooth loss is not a modern problem, there have been many ways for dental teams to fill these voids over the years with treatments like dentures and fitted bridges,

In recent times, however, there has been a push from dental patients for something more permanent, and this is where dental implants come into play!

At Spa Dental Sydney, our dentist Sydney has all of the expertise and training required to successfully fit dental implants, thus ensuring that your smile remains striking and functional. And if there are issues with fitting oral implants, we can also provide other restorative options like dentures or bridges.

But what are some of the advantages of having dental implants fitted over other restorative options? Our dentist Sydney answers that question below.

Cosmetic

We know that one key advantage of having dental implants fitted is the cosmetic advantage that they provide.

But, according to our dentist Sydney, they offer the flexibility to whiten your smile if you want them to, and they can blend in seamlessly with your surrounding natural teeth. And, of course, if you wish, our team can use oral implants to secure already existing dentures, so your smile doesn’t have to alter at all. Great!

Stability

Dental implants are simply titanium posts that are placed into your jaw and fuse with the surrounding bone over time.

This means that when the prosthetic tooth or teeth are placed on top of them, they are fixed in place and cannot (or should not!) move when force is applied to them when you bite into or chew food. And, with the correct care, your new implants should easily last for up to and over 15 years without hassle.

Ease of care

As mentioned earlier, a key advantage of oral implants is that they are secured in place to your jawbone.

So, they cannot be taken out and will not require rinsing in denture fluid overnight. But this does not mean that they do not require care, but rather the care that they need is more similar to that of natural teeth, making it easier to manage for most people. Simply brush, floss, and attend checkups with our team every 6 months to keep your implants in good condition.

Orthodontics

When you lose a tooth or teeth, the jawbone around the tooth shrinks down, as it is no longer holding a tooth in place; this can lead to any natural surrounding teeth moving in response to the bone shrinkage.

Luckily, oral implants can rebuild the missing jawbone and thus prevent any natural teeth from moving out of line if they are fitted quickly enough.

Affordable

Yes, you may have heard that dental implants are expensive, but a long-term cost analysis shows us that they can be cheaper than the treatments associated with losing teeth, such as fillings for any remaining teeth, braces, and any hygienist-related issues such as scale-and-polishes.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
