Dental implants are a form of replacing missing teeth.

If you have a missing tooth, one of the options is to replace that space with a dental implant.

Basically, a dental implant has three parts:

a screw that is placed inside the bone,
a connector (abutment) that connects the inside world to the outside world and
a crown that sits on top of the connector.
Implants are a fantastic alternative for people wanting to choose dental restoration methods that provide a natural look and feel.

Losing them, your jawbone can begin to shrink from a lack of stimulation.

Your smile can also get affected and change the shape of your face, causing you to look prematurely aged.

Other teeth can also move and cause changes in your bite and ultimately jaw joint problems. Dental implants are a great recommendation to solve these problems and other dental issues.

What are the benefits of dental implants?
Benefits include:

Comfortable and natural function
Stronger and secure teeth
A permanent dental solution for those lacking a tooth or teeth
Speech impediment reduction
Restoration and preservation of the regular shape of the mouth, jaws and face and overall dental hygiene
What are the advantages of denture implants compared to bridges or traditional dentures?
With dental implants, you have an individual tooth not connected to either side.

If anything happens in the future, it can be dealt with by itself.

Conventional bridges need cutting of your natural teeth and three or more teeth are joined together leading to failure of the whole bridge if there are issues in the future.

A partial denture (that can be put in and taken out) are an option as long as you are comfortable with them. Alternatively, a permanent solution could be denture implants for multiple teeth missing.

Is everyone suitable to have dental implants?
Dental Implants are suitable for people of all ages wanting to restore their natural dental structures with a natural looking solution – as long as you have enough bone to secure the tooth implant.

Where adequate jaw bone is not present such as in cases of long term tooth loss, we do bone grafting and/or gum grafting procedures. Contact our dentist to find out if you are an eligible candidate for implants.

What if I don’t have any bone for implant placement?
In this case we augment the site with some bone (add bone to the area) before placement of the dental implant.

The augmentation can take place on the very same day as the implant placement or 3 months before the implant placement depending on the amount of bone needed.

Can any dental professional in Sydney perform a tooth implant procedure?
Legally yes, but like any medical or dental procedure, not all dental practitioners have equal experience, training or are comfortable with implant treatment.

As a result, not all dental clinicians offer implants as part of their dental services.

We, at Smile Concepts, focus our practice on implantology and oral (dento-alveolar and periodontal plastic) surgery, and maintain high standards by using high quality materials and expertise.

We have an expert team with over 30 years experience, to look after your health and well being, especially when dental implants are a concern.

How long will do dental implants last?
Natural teeth should last a complete lifetime, however, we all can sight examples where they have not served for a person’s lifetime.

We know that dental tooth problems mostly stem from improper home care or lack of treatment when needed.

The same holds true for those who chose dental implants.

With proper care and routine dental check-ups, & selecting a high quality & experienced dentist, they should last a lifetime. Contact us for more info.

No one can give guarantees because the health of a person is dependent upon many factors which are out of the control of one’s dentist, e.g., proper nutritional needs being met, proper hygiene, genetics, disease processes which might occur.

So, the answer to this question really is that no one knows how long each individual dental implant will last… one’s success can be influenced by the way you live and the quality of practitioner that you have chosen to do your dental implants… these things can tip the scales in your favour.

On average dental implants should last from 5 to 20 years.

What is the success rate of dental implants?
The success rate is generally high but depends on where in the jaw the implants are placed.

The lower jaw has a very good chance of success (98%) over 5 years.

The further back in the mouth you go, the lesser the prognosis, but this is generally over 90% over 5 years.

If you smoke, the chances of success rate of implants drop by at least 30%.

Can a smoker get a tooth implant?
We strongly advise patients to quit smoking before undergoing a dental implant procedure.

Smokers are at higher risk for dental implant failure.

Generally, the success rate of dental implants in smokers is 70% over 5 years.
