What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants or tooth implants are a fixed solution to a missing tooth. The implantation of the tooth/teeth results in a natural and long-lasting smile that looks and feels normal. It’s almost impossible to distinguish the implant from your existing teeth and at NQ Surgical Dentistry Townsville we want to help you achieve healthy oral health.

What Are Dental Implants/Tooth Implants?

A dental implant utilizes a titanium screw instead of a natural tooth root surgically placed into the jawbone for fitting onto crowns, bridges, and dentures. This solution is useful for replacing one or many teeth.

The Composition Of Dental Implants

Osseointegrated dental implants are biologically inert titanium with very little chance of your body rejecting the foreign material. The implants are placed in your jaw under local anaesthetic, with or without sedation. Completed either in the practice or under general anaesthetic in a day surgery unit.

Implant-borne dental crowns are a combination of porcelain, zirconium and or dental gold bonding alloy. They are strong, sturdy and colour-matched to your natural teeth. Once a dental crown is attached to your implant, it will look and feel like a natural tooth.

The Process Of Dental Implants

When you visit NQ Surgical Dentistry in Townsville, Dr Saltmiras will discuss all the options open to you. He will then advise you on the most appropriate treatment. In order for implant dentistry to be successful, you will need to have adequate bone volume to accommodate the implant. If, however, you do not have adequate bone volume, Dr Priestland is qualified in various bone grafting techniques to achieve improved bone availability and shape to allow for implant placement.

The number of appointments necessarily varies extensively between patients depending on their clinical situation. However, integration of the implant into the jawbone requires a healing period of three to six months.
