Regarding tooth replacement, most dentists prefer dental implants—often called the gold standard. Implants are the only option available today that replace your tooth and its valuable root. Additionally, they are long-lasting, remaining viable for decades or even for life.
We offer full-service implant
dentistry to patients in Oatley, Mortdale, Lugarno, Hurstville, Peakhurst, Padstow, Padstow Heights and your neighbourhood.
Whether you have one missing tooth or several, we encourage you to arrange a visit with our dental implant dentist.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are replacement roots surgically placed in the jawbone. These roots integrate over time to create a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth and prosthetics like implant-retained dentures and bridges.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
To determine your candidacy, we arrange an assessment with the dentist. This visit includes an oral evaluation, x-rays, and a conversation about your tooth replacement goals.
You may be an instant candidate for dental implants in Oatley, or you may require pretreatments like bone grafting if the jaw has lost density.
Your dentist will discuss all findings with you to determine whether dental implants suit your tooth replacement needs.
Dental Implant Options
Our dental implant crowns and prosthetics are always custom-matched to look natural—this includes the shape and shade of your restoration teeth. Your Oatley dentist also pays close attention to fit and function.
Single Dental Implants
A single dental implant means one tooth root implanted for each lost tooth. If you only have one or two missing teeth, this may be the right option for your needs.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
Dental implant posts (replacement roots) are made of durable titanium. This is why it only takes four implants (sometimes) to secure an entire arch of missing teeth.
All-on-X
Sometimes, you need more than four dental implants to secure an arch of artificial teeth to the jaw. You may need six or more implants, depending on your jawbone health and other considerations.
Dental Implant Care and Upkeep
Fortunately, there are no added steps to keep your implants functional. They’ll never slip or rock like removable dentures.
Treat them like natural teeth:
- Brush your teeth at least twice daily.
- Floss your teeth at least once daily.
- Visit your dentist for regular checks and cleans.
