Dental Implants in Templestowe Lower
An Effective Solution to Replace Teeth
In the past dentures were the only viable way of replacing missing teeth. Though dentures have come a long way in recent years, they can still be uncomfortable and cumbersome. Fortunately, dental implants represent an excellent, natural-looking way to improve your smile.
What Is an Implant?
This artificial tooth root is composed of durable, surgical-grade titanium. It’s positioned in the jaw. A crown or bridge can be placed atop the implant. If you’ve lost teeth due to injury or gum disease, dental implants should be considered a top choice for tooth replacement. They can
- Replace one or more teeth without adjacent teeth being affected
- Provide support or stabilisation of top or bottom dentures
- Reinforce bridges or replace a partial denture
An Excellent Alternative to Dentures
Are Dental Implants Right for Me?
People of all ages can benefit from dental implants. It’s just essential that you be in generally good health and possess excellent oral health. Having enough jaw bone to permit proper placement of the implant and retain it is also critical. If you are considering having dental implants but may have a gum infection, please make an appointment with one of our dentists.
Sometimes other related procedures are necessary before implants can be placed. These include ridge (graft) augmentation and sinus (graft) augmentation. Our Templestowe Lower dental implant expert Dr Leo Tse (Dentist) can discuss these procedures with you if they are needed.
Caring for Implants
Just as you take care of your teeth to maintain optimal oral health, it’s essential that you take care of your implants as well. As they function like natural teeth do, you will want to schedule regular preventative checkups as well as practice good oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing.
