Dental Implants
Dental Implants Brisbane, Fortitude Valley
Missing teeth can be devastating as they interfere with eating, talking and socialising. While there are a number of solutions to replace missing teeth,
dental implants are among the top requested treatments.
As a trusted Cosmetic Dentist in brisbane, we offer dental implants as a permanent solution to help you regain your life without worrying about how your smile looks or the other issues that come with missing teeth.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are used as replacement tooth roots.
The post is surgically implanted into the jawbone and then given time to heal through a process called osseointegration in which your bone fuses with the post.
Next, an abutment, or connector, and dental crown are placed on the implant. Together, you have a new tooth and root that will function and look like a natural tooth.
Who Can Get Implants?
Dental implants are a popular solution to replace missing teeth because, of all dental solutions, they look, function, and feel like natural teeth.
They can be cleaned along with your other teeth during brushing without the need to remove them, and the implant can stop your jawbone from resorption or melting away, which can change facial structure and add age to your face.
Because they require a certain amount of bone to support the healing process, dental implants may not be for everyone. The following are some situations that may need specialised attention or an alternative solution to implants:
If you are interested in dental implants but have any of the above conditions, we may still be able to help. Our team here at Precision Dental in Brisbane are skilled with dental implants and have over 10 years of experience replacing missing teeth.
If you have excess dental plaque or gum disease, we can treat it then reevaluate you for implants. If you have been turned down for dental implants, we may be able to help. The best thing to do is schedule a consultation so we can collect all the data we need to see if you are a candidate for dental implants.
