What are the main benefits of dental implants?

Losing teeth can get in the way of living your best life. Think for a moment about the impact losing teeth can have on your life. How well would you be able to eat, talk or smile? While there is a diverse range of missing teeth replacement options for patients to consider, there is only one that offers the full confidence to smile broadly and eat without fear of embarrassment- and that treatment option is dental implants Sydney.

At Spa Dental Sydney, we have built a strong reputation for quality treatments in dental implants Sydney. Included in the cost of our dental implants Sydney are a thorough assessment and diagnosis (which may include X-rays and scans), a customised treatment plan, the implant, crown as well as post-treatment follow-up appointments.

What exactly are dental implants?

Dental implants are fixed missing teeth replacement devices that are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. One would expect the design of a dental implant to be a complex one, but in fact, it is a really simple one. A dental implant looks like an actual tooth because its design mirrors that of real teeth above the gum line as well as below.

The structure of a dental implant consists of two parts. There is the abutment that sits below the gum line and is embedded into the jawbone. This is a metal stem (rod-like) that offers the same function as natural tooth roots. Above this abutment on the gum line sits the dental crown that enables biting and chewing functions and of course, provides the aesthetics for a beautiful smile.

Why do people opt for dental implants?

People choose dental implants mainly for the array of benefits they offer.

Stability is a main concern for patients on other missing teeth replacement devices, but not so with dental implants. There is very little risk of tooth implants becoming loose or moving about the mouth. The abutment that holds the dental implant together is surgically implanted into the jawbone to secure it.

Patients who worry that the implant might fall out should know that the chance of implant failure is slim. Our experienced implant dentist will ensure a patient is a good fit for dental implants before proceeding with treatment. This is a non-negotiable factor for a successful dental implant treatment plan.

Dental implants help to preserve the structure of the jawbone. When tooth roots are lost due to missing teeth, there is an increased risk of the loss of jawbone density and bone reabsorption which results in the facial structure losing its natural shape.

Confident eating and speaking abilities are restored. There is no equal to the confidence boost offered by dental implants (apart from natural teeth of course) when it comes to biting, chewing and speaking. This is mainly down to the solid placement of the abutment within the jawbone.
