Why Choose Dental Implants in Wellington Point
Dental implants are considered as most effective option for replacing missing tooth or teeth. Dental Implants look like a natural tooth and that makes them very popular and best alternative to replace the missing tooth. Do you know dental implants help in preventing your natural teeth from shifting out of position resulting in keeping your teeth bite together? Yes, thats true. The titanium post helps keeps the jawbone strong and healthy.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The procedure of dental implants involves multiple phases as well as recovery time.
Phase 1
Our caring dentist at Wellington Point will carry out a previous study to determine the number of implants you need and know if you have enough bone to place them.
Phase 2
If there is not enough bone height in the upper jaw, the dentist at Wellington Point Dental will perform a surgery called a maxillary sinus lift.
Phase 3
The implants will be placed in the jaw with local anesthesia.
Phase 4
The implant must be firmly attached to the bone. For this reason, a few months will be allowed to place the prosthesis on a definitive implant. During this period, the Wellington Point Dental dentists will place a provisional prosthesis that will cover the dental absence.
Phase 5
Once the implant has been integrated into the bone, the Wellington Point dentist will place the definitive prosthesis (the visible external part of the tooth) that is cemented or screwed to the implant.
Advantages of Dental implants
Aesthetics: they are the most aesthetic solution to replace tooth loss. It will improve your appearance, and you will have a more rejuvenated appearance, since the absence of dental pieces causes bone loss, with the consequent facial aging.
Quality of life: they incorporate stability and sensation identical to that of natural teeth. You can smile, eat, talk without worry, without conditions or discomfort, and be very confident since the prosthesis does not move.
Health: the non-replacement of the missing tooth entails some side effects such as the progressive inclination of the adjacent teeth and the extrusion of the antagonist (tooth that picks up), which complicates the possible placement of the implant in the future, as well as chewing and hygiene.
How are dental implant placed at Wellington Point Dental
After the previous personalised study and the placement of bone (in those cases that are necessary), the realisation of an implant requires the following steps:
Implant placement: implants will be placed in the jaw with local anesthesia.
Fixation: the implant must be firmly attached to the bone to support the prosthesis and meet the necessary functional and aesthetic requirements as if it were a natural tooth. For this reason, we must allow a few months for fixing.
Placement of the prosthesis: once the specialist confirms that the implant has been integrated into the bone, the definitive prosthesis (the visible external part of the tooth) will be placed. This will be cemented or screwed to the implant.
Types of dental implants present at Wellington Point Dental
Zirconium
The properties of titanium allow its integration with the bone to be very effective and very difficult to reject. This process is known as osseointegration and is highly biocompatible.
Bridges over implants
When the patient needs the teeth to be replaced to be several adjacents, instead of performing a unit implant procedure, that is, one by one, a piece is designed that replaces all at the same time. This piece is known as a bridge.
The main recommendations by Wellington Point dentists are based on:
Bleeding: it is normal for the intervened area to bleed during the first and even the second day. It is best to use gauze that absorbs the blood and changes them every so often. The first night it is recommended to sleep with the head slightly higher than the body.
Physical exercise: during a week, it is better to suspend physical activities to avoid bleeding, pain, or inflammation problems.
