Dental Implants Leppington

Dental implants are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. These state of the art implants replace the need for dentures or bridges and perfectly mimic a natural tooth. Dental implants are ideal for filling a single gap due to tooth loss, or multiple teeth and create a beautiful, natural and healthy-looking smile.
Dental implants are one of the quality dental services offered by Horizon Dental Care. If dental implants are something you are considering or would like to discuss, call our friendly dental clinic today to make an appointment.

Benefits of a Dental Implant

Dental implants offer significant benefits, particularly when compared to bridges or dentures. With a dental implant you can expect:

Natural-looking teeth that fuse with your jaw bone to form a permanent replacement for your missing tooth.
Improved comfort, unlike dentures, implants can't slip, rub or move.
Better speech, as above, no-slip means no lisping or mumbling over a mouth full of dentures.
The ability to eat whatever you like. As the implant is secured in the bone, you can bite and chew without the worry of dislodging dentures.
A long-lasting solution to missing teeth, with proper care dental implants, can last a lifetime.
Improved confidence, we all feel better with a beautiful smile and tooth implants are the ideal solution for restorative dental work.
No mess, no fuss, no embarrassment. Zero glue or tape to hold in place and no need to remove and clean. Just your regular oral hygiene routine.
Better oral health, bridges require modification of surrounding teeth whereas implants do not impact on other healthy teeth. You can also floss easily between your tooth and any implant and won't experience any mouth irritation from a denture plate.
Normality, no special care or daily preparation, just a beautiful, natural, normal smile.

What to Expect In a Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implants are usually performed in stages as an outpatient surgery under local anesthetic. There are multiple stages involved with weeks of healing needed between each, you can expect:

Throughout treatment, your dentist will monitor for signs of infection and help you manage any associated discomfort.

When Are Dental Implants Recommended

Your dentist may recommend dental implants as a solution for your missing teeth for a variety of reasons. They will take into account factors such as:

If you have one or more missing teeth.
Your being unable or unwilling to wear dentures.
A desire to improve your speech.
Your willingness to commit to a process lasting several months.
Whether you have a fully developed jaw bone.
If you have any underlying health conditions that impair bone healing.
Whether you have adequate bone to support the implant or are willing to undergo a bone graft.
If you have healthy oral tissue (gums).
Whether you're a smoker - smoking impairs healing and the implant may fail.
Your age.
Suitability in place of a root canal and crown.
