Your real teeth or dental implants?

If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth, you will be joining the millions of people worldwide who are looking for a solution that will be as close to their real teeth as possible. None of them wants replacement teeth that look fake or aren’t up to the job of eating and talking.

That’s why, at Spa Dental Sydney CBD, we offer dental implants in Sydney CBD. These are as close as modern dentistry has so far managed to get to real teeth in terms of form and function. With the way dental research and development keeps moving forwards in leaps and bounds, there’s probably something even more amazing in terms of biomimicry just around the corner waiting to be discovered.

In terms of time on the market, dental implants in Sydney CBD have been around for just over 30 years, although the original discovery was made by a Swedish scientist back in 1952. You may never have heard of dental implants in Sydney CBD because you have not lost a tooth before and they’re not easy to spot once they are in place. You may have even been kissing someone with dental implants and had no idea that not all their teeth were their own.

What are dental implants?

They are titanium posts or screws, usually tapered in shape and about 1.3cm long. We put them into artificial sockets that are drilled into your jawbone in carefully planned positions, so they give maximum support without interfering with blood vessels or nerves in your jawbone.

The titanium bonds with your jawbone by encouraging new bone tissue to grow all over it. This process takes a few months and, once it is completed, the implants are held in place as securely as your natural teeth are.

Your new teeth

Next, we can attach new crowns which are hand-crafted out of dental porcelain to blend in with the rest of your teeth in terms of size, shape and colour. The crowns last about 15 years before they need to be replaced but, if you look after your implants, they can last for decades, maybe even the rest of your life.
