Understanding Dental Implants
At Boroondara Dental our Dentist Dr John Chen has extensive experience in placing implants. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. These act as stable anchors for replacement teeth, such as crowns or bridges. They are designed to mimic the natural structure of teeth, providing a secure and long-lasting foundation for chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Durability: Implants are known for their durability and longevity, often lasting a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: They look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your existing smile.
- Improved Functionality: Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place, allowing for comfortable eating and speaking without slippage.
- Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
The Process
The journey to getting dental implants with Boroondara Dental typically involves a series of steps:
Meeting our Dentist at Boroondara dental for a consultation and treatment planning;
Consultation and Treatment Planning: The dentist at Boroondara Dental will assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan to suit your individual needs.
Surgical guide measurements and planning process: This process is done using our Intra oral scanner to scan your teeth and mouth for a customised surgical guide. Dr John Chen will then spend time behind the scenes creating the perfect plan for your individual needs ready for your next appointment with us.
Implant Placement: A small titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, the bone bonds with the implant, creating a sturdy foundation.
Restoration: Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone (osseointegration), a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant
Follow-Up Care: Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial to maintaining the health and longevity of your implants.
