What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants start with a strong titanium screw called a fixture. The fixture is placed into the jawbone to replace your missing tooth root. Because the fixture is made of biocompatible material, the jawbone grows naturally onto the implant surface.

An abutment is used to secure the fixture to the top part of the implant, called the crown. A crown replicates a beautiful natural tooth and fits the gap where your missing tooth once was.

Dentists In Annerley performs single implants, all on 4, implant-supported bridges and implant-supported dentures to Tarragindi and surrounds.

Why Get Dental Implants?

The benefits of dental implants are unmatched by traditional tooth replacement methods like bridges or dentures. With implants, there is no need to sacrifice tooth structure from adjacent healthy teeth by grinding them down.

Dental implants won’t slip when chewing, talking or laughing because they are fixed in the mouth and look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You can eat and speak with comfort and confidence.

Come into the clinic to learn what dental implants can do for you. We offer free dental implant consultations at our practice near Tarragindi.

Tarragindi Dental Implant Services

1. Single Tooth Replacement

A single tooth replacement at our clinic near Tarragindi uses a single titanium dental implant to replace the missing tooth

The implant is first surgically inserted at the site of the missing tooth. The dental implant will then undergo osteointegration, or fusion of bone to implant. Over time the implant will effectively fuse with the jawbone as it heals.

This forms a strong and durable foundation in which a crown will be seated. An abutment is then placed on top of the metal fixture and this is the middle component which allows for the crown to connect to the implant.

At this appointment, we will talk about your treatment goals and the processes and approximate costs involved, do a limited clinical exam and may take some radiographs and photographs. If you seem to be a suitable candidate we will refer you to get a 3D CBCT radiograph.

From surgery to final insertion, the process can take approximately 4-6 months. Our friendly Tarragindi dentists will be there to help you every step of the way.

If you require a temporary restoration in the meantime there are many options available and this will be discussed with you in your first two appointments.

A well-placed dental implant should last for a very long time, and studies indicate that the 10-year survival rate is 90%, which means that some still fail. To minimise the chances of failure, it is crucial to maintain excellent oral hygiene and attend regular dental check up and hygiene appointments.
Single tooth implants start at $4,990"10

2. Multiple Teeth Replacement - Bridge

If you're looking for an affordable option to replace multiple missing teeth near Tarragindi, an implant bridge might be right for you.

An implant bridge is where two implants are used to replace multiple missing teeth. First, the titanium implants are surgically inserted at the site of the missing tooth. The dental implants will then undergo osteointegration (fusion of bone to implant). Over time the implant will effectively fuse with the jawbone as it heals. This forms a solid and durable foundation for the bridge to be seated. An abutment is then placed on top of the metal fixtures, this is the middle component which allows for the bridge to connect to the implants.

Step 1: Free consult - 15 mins
We will talk about your treatment goals, the processes, and approximate costs at this appointment. We will do a limited clinical exam and may take some radiographs and photographs. If you seem to be a suitable candidate, we will refer you to get a 3D CBCT radiograph.

3. Full Arch Replacement (All-on-4, All-on-6, All-on-X)

Visit our Tarragindi dentists to discuss an All-on-4, All-on-6 or All-on-X dental treatment.

A full arch replacement, also known as All-on-4 or All-on-X is a procedure where all the teeth are replaced using 4-6 implants and a permanent denture. This is usually one of the most life-changing procedures we offer. It restores a fully functional and aesthetic smile.

This modern dental technique is carried out by placing 4-6 implants into the jaw bone, which acts as the foundation of a full arch prosthesis. The prosthesis is the object which sits on top of the implants and replicates the natural teeth.

Benefits of All-on-4:
✓ Fixed solution to replace all missing teeth
✓ Only removable by the Dentist - Looks and feels like you have your natural teeth back
✓ Ability to eat foods that you couldn't with your previous denture or lack of teeth
✓ Significantly reduced cost as compared to placing an implant for every missing tooth
✓ Easier to clean
✓ Potential for immediate teeth

As this procedure dramatically varies from patient to patient, a complimentary consult at our clinic is essential.

Prices from $20,000 per arch

4. Implant Supported Dentures/Over Dentures

Implant supported dentures (also known as over-dentures) are a middle ground between dentures and all-on-4. This is where a denture has extra retention by sitting on 2 (or more) implants.

A cost effective and removable option, implant supported dentures give you added stability to eat and laugh freely without the fear of the denture falling out.

We can either convert your current denture or make you a new one at our dental clinic near Tarragindi.

Advantages of Overdentures:
✓ Stabilises the denture
✓ It is removable and easily cleansable
✓ Allows you to comfortably eat with your dentures, even with food that you could not have eaten before
✓ The ability to speak and laugh without the fear of the dentures falling out
✓ More affordable than a full arch of implants.

This procedure dramatically varies from patient to patient, so a consult is essential to provide more information.

Prices for an over-denture with two implants and conversion of the existing denture start at $6,665

Bone and Soft Tissue Grafts

The bone and soft tissue underneath a missing tooth can go unstimulated without a replacement. Grafts transplant new bone and soft tissue into your jawbone to give additional support to your dental implants.

Not all patients require grafts. When you come for your first appointment at our clinic near Tarragindi, your dentist will perform an exam and may refer you for a 3D scan to let you know if a bone or soft tissue graft is right for you.
