Dental Implants

Tooth loss can impact not only your appearance but also your ability to eat certain foods, as well as the health of your mouth, self-esteem, and general well-being.

The effects of tooth loss vary from person to person and depend on which teeth are lost. Over time, the bone around a missing tooth may gradually recede, and the surrounding teeth may shift. Chewing may also become more challenging as time goes on.

At Dental On Magill, dental implants offer a solution by replacing both the root and the crown of a missing tooth, giving you a new, complete tooth that is securely fixed to your jawbone and matches your existing teeth.

Implants provide a permanent solution for one or multiple missing teeth, allowing you to smile confidently and enjoy all the foods you love once again.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant can be thought of as an artificial tooth root that is submerged into the jawbone. When dental work such as a crown, fixed bridge or a full set of dentures is added, one or more missing teeth can be replaced.

A dental implant is fabricated from a very strong, biocompatible material placed in a simple procedure that, generally, is as convenient as a tooth extraction. After an initial healing period, during which the implant is buried in bone and left undisturbed under gum tissue, it is uncovered and connected to a small metal post that secures and supports the artificial tooth.

The implant material is extremely biocompatible. The bone grows to the implant and bonds to it. This makes the implant very strong. The process is called ‘osseointegration’.

Dental Implants Offer:

  • A natural and attractive smile
  • Comfortable solution and full function
  • Strong, fixed and secure teeth
  • Prevention of unsightly jaw bone loss and facial shrinkage
  • A permanent solution for missing teeth
  • A reduction of speech impediments

frequently asked dental implants questions

Below our the questions and answers we get asked the most about dental implants in our Adelaide dental clinic.

Dental implants are titanium fixtures placed into the jawbone to serve as a foundation for attaching dentures, crowns, or bridges. They act like natural tooth roots, providing strong and stable support for artificial teeth, which can significantly improve function and appearance.

Dental implants are a safe and well-established treatment option for replacing missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime. Implants have a high success rate, and advancements in dental technology have made the procedure even safer and more effective.

The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps: initial consultation and assessment, placement of the implant into the jawbone, a healing period for osseointegration (where the bone fuses with the implant), and finally, the attachment of the artificial tooth. The entire process can take several months, but it ensures a stable and durable result.

Most people with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants, but a thorough evaluation by a dental professional is necessary. Factors such as sufficient jawbone density, good oral hygiene, and overall health are considered. Even if you have bone loss, bone grafting procedures can often make implants possible.

Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options. They look and function like natural teeth, prevent bone loss, preserve adjacent teeth, and provide a permanent solution that doesn’t require removal for cleaning. Unlike dentures, implants eliminate issues with slipping or clicking and offer a more comfortable and secure fit.
