Modern Dental Implants in Fortitude Valley

Modern Dental Implants in Fortitude Valley - Precision Dental Brisbane, Fortitude Valley

“You’re going to lose this tooth,” is one of the hardest things that I have to say to a patient.

I wish that I never had to say that, but the longer that I practice dentistry, and as my clients continue to age, I find myself in that situation more and more often.

When faced with permanent tooth loss, there are basically three options:

Dental implants are artificial teeth, surgically inserted into the bone where a missing tooth was. It is usually a titanium alloy screw that substitutes for a tooth root.

A dental crown is fitted on top of the implant to complete the procedure.

Together they form a complete, permanent, prosthetic tooth that has virtually the exact characteristics of an original tooth.

The Key Advantages of Dental Implants

Strength

Permanence

Natural appearance

Identical care as natural teeth

The strength of the implant comes from the artificial root tightly bonding with the bone through a process called osseointegration.

That occurs when the bone cells grow around and into the metal surfaces of the implant. The completed implant will be as strong as the patient’s physiology allows.

Why Come to Precision Dental for Your Dental Implant?

At Precision Dental, we will always strive to save your natural teeth if possible.

In those cases where it is not possible or advisable, we evaluate your situation and help you determine if dental implants are right for you.

Determining if you are a good candidate for dental implants will involve:

Z

 A thorough visual examination.

Z

X-rays.

Z

And we may ask you to get iCat 3D imaging done (which we can view in our office before and during the procedures).

Once we determine that you have the bone density and periodontal health sufficient for a successful procedure, we can proceed.

If you do not have sufficient bone density or the periodontal health necessary, it can still be possible to get implants by supplementing the bone mass through bone grafts and gum tissue through periodontal grafts.

At Precision Dental, we can perform bone and periodontal grafts at our office.

Additional time to let the bone and/or gums heal properly before we proceed with the implant procedure will be necessary.

But if the end result is a beautiful, permanent dental implant, then the results can be worth the wait.

Installing dental implants requires precision drilling of preliminary holes that will prepare the bone for the implant to be inserted. These “tap holes” need to be drilled at precise angles.

The drills must have regulated speed control to prevent any overheating of the bone.

If overheating occurs, the cells that are required for the osseointegration with the implant will be damaged, and the implant may be rejected by the bone.

At Precision Dental, we have the latest equipment to perform these procedures.

We have the finest, guided, surgical drills, sterile drapes, and sterile attire to ensure you the safest and most efficient treatment possible.

In some cases, it is possible to do an implant rapidly. It is even possible to do the entire procedure in one visit.

However, we definitely prefer to spread the process out over time. Primarily because we want to ensure that the implant bone-bonding will happen properly without any complications.

To rush this procedure is not our first choice, but we always try to accommodate the specific needs of our patients on a case-by-case basis.
