Tooth loss can affect how you interact with other people, impact your ability to chew and eat food comfortably, and may affect how you feel about smiling. Did you know that tooth loss also impacts oral health because it can result in tooth movement and shifting, bite misalignment, and bone loss that affects support for neighbouring teeth?
At A Plus Dental, we offer excellent solutions for missing teeth with implant dentistry, including single-tooth replacement and supporting prosthetics to replace multiple teeth with our innovative all-on-x/T24 treatment concept.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants in Chelsea Heights are made of a titanium post that we surgically place into your bone to replace your lost tooth root. The titanium is biocompatible and naturally fuses with your bone over time, making it secure and stable for supporting your new tooth.
Once your implant is fully healed and integrated with your bone, we use an abutment to attach a porcelain crown to the implant that replaces the visible portion of your tooth with a customised porcelain replica.
The Dental Implant Advantage
Many patients appreciate the advantages that tooth implants provide, such as:
- Similar function and appearance of a natural tooth
- Protection for the jawbone against the deterioration that occurs with tooth loss
- Preservation of correct bite alignment, which prevents painful jaw joint problems
- Reliable success rates
- The capability of replacing multiple teeth
- Exceptional longevity with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care
We offer comprehensive implant treatment from start to finish at our Chelsea Heights dental clinic. We can also help you access your superannuation and offer secure, flexible payment options for complex dental procedures like implant dentistry for those who qualify.
What Is the All-On-X and T24 Treatment Concept?
All-on-x treatment is when our dentists in Chelsea Heights use tooth implants to secure a customised denture that restores multiple missing teeth. Our dentists may use anywhere from two to six dental implants strategically placed to hold an appliance that replaces your missing upper or lower teeth, or both arches.
T24 refers to the potential to replace a complete lower or upper arch of teeth in as little as 24 hours for patients who qualify. In many cases, this means you may not have to go without teeth during the initial healing period.
How Do I Start the Implant Process?
With comprehensive implant dentistry in Chelsea Heights, we will do everything to restore your smile, which involves one or all of your teeth. Our helpful team is here to guide you every step of the way.
An evaluation with one of our dentists is your first step to a healthier smile, and you can book your appointment online or by ringing our team.
*As with any surgical procedure, dental implants carry some risks, such as infection, injury to surrounding structures, nerve changes, or problems with the implant integrating with the bone. Your dentist will discuss these with you before treatment.
