What are Dental Implants?

A Natural Replacement for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth don’t just create gaps in your smile, they can also affect your day-to-day life, such as eating and your self-confidence. Dental implants can replace your missing teeth and give you a new lease of life. The implant is securely fused to your jawbone for seamless, stable support of new teeth. It’s time to wind back the years, eat all the foods you love and smile freely again.

How Dental Implants Work

How Dental Implants Work In Warragul, Gippsland In Warragul Dental Care

We Integrate Strong Titanium Posts With Your Bone for a Natural Feel and Appearance

Dental implants act as a strong anchor for fixing replacement teeth, similar to how your natural tooth root works. A titanium implant is first placed into your jaw and allowed time to fully fuse with your jaw. Once your implant is fully healed, we fit a custom-made crown on top of your integrated implant to flawlessly replicate your lost natural tooth.

Dental implants don’t just fill the gaps, they help to preserve your facial structure to avoid a sunken, ageing appearance. They also keep your bone strong and healthy. The implants are made of biocompatible titanium and ceramic that look and feel just like real teeth, so once they’re fitted, you’ll never know the difference. They’re so stable you’ll be able to bite and chew with complete confidence and without the annoying slippage you experience with traditional dentures.

What Problems Do Dental Implants Solve?

Problems Dental Implants Solve In Warragul, Gippsland At Warragul Dental Care

Bite, Chew, Smile and Laugh With Confidence

Losing your teeth creates lots of frustrating problems – not just how they look. Missing molars stop you from properly grinding tough and crunchy foods, which can cause poor nutrition and digestion. Your speech can also suffer without strong teeth anchored in the right position.

Even worse, when you have a front tooth missing, or a discoloured front teeth, you might be hiding your smile or avoiding social situations.

Dental implants can help to restore your teeth so you can eat, chew and laugh confidently again. You can enjoy biting into crunchy fruits, vegetables, nuts and meats again as well as maintaining your palette and tongue in the correct position so you can articulate words clearly. Your new, flawless smile with implants will have you laughing and smiling again without covering your mouth.
