Dental implants could be the answer to missing teeth

If you have lost several teeth, or even all of your teeth, you may believe that a bridge or dentures are the only option for you. However, advances in dentistry in recent years mean that there is now a new option available – dental implants. These little metal screws could change your life. Here at Spa Dental Sydney CBD, we can assess you for dental implants in Sydney CBD and talk you through the options.

Dental implants explained

If you’ve never heard of dental implants, you’re probably wondering if they’re as scary as they sound. The idea of having a metal screw inserted into your jawbone is understandably intimidating for some, but rest assured it’s really not that different from a natural tooth. Your teeth have roots that go down into the jawbone, anchoring them. We simply replace that natural tooth root with a titanium screw that will, after a short time, meld with the bone, holding it securely in place.

Assessment for dental implants in Sydney CBD

Getting dental implants is a big decision, so the best thing to do is come into our practice where you can talk to the staff about your options and be assessed to ensure you are a suitable candidate for dental implants in Sydney CBD. We will need to take x-rays and photographs to get a good idea of the general health of your mouth and jaw, as a certain level of jawbone density is required to support the implants. Don’t worry though, there are options available if you have lost bone density.

Benefits of investing in dental implants in Sydney CBD

There are a number of reasons why getting dental implants in Sydney CBD could be worth your while. If you have a gap where just one tooth is missing, by having a dental implant you could actually be saving your other teeth. When a gap is left between teeth, the neighbouring teeth can start to tilt, twist or eventually become loose. Having a dental implant stops that from happening.

If you already have dentures or a bridge, these could be made much more secure with implants, increasing the range of food you can enjoy.
