Dental Implants in Narre Warren and Doncaster East

Dental implants replace the root of missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
A dental implant can only be used on patients with healthy oral conditions because enough bone is needed to grow around the implant for support. A dental implant is fixed and it will not rely on adjacent teeth, which is more beneficial for your oral health. The dental implants fuse to your jaw bone, providing stable support for the artificial teeth and secure fit for the crowns and bridges.

Different Types of Dental Implants

  • Bone-level implants- The most commonly used implant which requires two procedures. The implants are shaped like screws and are directly placed into your jawbone for a secure fix. Once the surrounding gum has healed, a second
    procedure will be performed to install a post onto the original implant. This kind of
    implant is used when your jaw is wide and dense.
  • Tissue level implants-This implant only requires one surgery. The implant will be placed under your gum but above the
    jawbone. The metal posts which are already attached to the implant will protrude through the gums. After the surrounding gum has healed, your implant will become as fixed and as long-lasting as bone-level implant.

Oral Care Tips for Dental Implant

Healthy pulp and adequate bone are needed to support a dental implant.If the patient’s upper jaw is inadequate to accommodate the length of a dental implant, you may require anadditional prior procedure. Following the steps below can help keep the structures healthy and ensure successful dental implants:

  • Maintain proper oral hygiene- Which includes brushing the teeth twiceand using the floss once a day.Places nearby the dental implant that are difficult to reach can be cleaned by an interdental brush.
  • Give up smoking- Smoking weakens the bone structure, which will lead to failing dental implants.
  • Regular visit to the dentist- Schedule a visit to your dentist every half a year to make sure everything is under great condition.
  • Avoid chewing on hard food- Avoid chewing on hard food such as ice and candy to prevent damage to the dental crown or even your natural teeth.
