What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant replaces the root or roots of a tooth that has been removed. The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone (therefore it is not visible in the mouth) and a crown is then secured to the implant (which is the part that is visible in the mouth).
What is a Dental Implant made of?
The dental implant is made of Titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible.
What is the Cost of a Dental Implant?
The costs of Dental implants start at $5,500. However, the cost can vary depending on if patients need additional treatment before placing the implant. Call the practice for more information.
How does the Dental Implant work?
Once a dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, it fuses itself to the remaining bone. Placing a dental implant into the space where a tooth has been removed stabilises the bone, preventing more bone loss in that area. By placing a dental implant you are maintaining the space of the original tooth, while maintaining your jawbone shape and density.
Am I a Candidate for a Dental Implant?
Anyone who has had a tooth removed may be a candidate for a dental implant, provided they are not immune-compromised i.e. undergoing chemotherapy/radiation treatment. Generally, if you are in good health you are likely to be a candidate for a dental implant.
Do I need x-rays before the procedure?
Yes, before any dental implant surgery is undertaken you will be required to undergo a series of dental x-rays and 3D/CT scans. Some study models will also be required to assess your bite. This is an essential part of knowing the exact position in the bone to place the implant.
