At The Dental Health Practice on Merivale in Nepean, we are dedicated to helping our patients achieve healthy and radiant smiles via proven treatments and procedures. Dental implants, a revolutionary tooth-replacement option, have restored the smiles of millions and offer a permanent and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants can be an excellent option for individuals who have lost one or more teeth as a result of decay, injury, or periodontal disease. A suitable candidate for dental implants should have:

Sufficient Bone Density: Adequate jawbone structure is essential to support the dental implant's secure placement.

Good Oral Health: Candidates must have healthy gums and overall oral hygiene to ensure the success of the implant procedure.

Commitment to Oral Care: Maintaining proper oral care and regular dental checkups is crucial to the longevity of dental implants.

What impact can dental implants have on oral health?

Enhanced Stability and Function: Dental implants are surgically embedded into the jawbone, providing reliable stability for a replacement tooth. This allows patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Preservation of Bone Structure: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone begins to deteriorate over time due to a lack of stimulation. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing bone loss, preserving facial structure and aesthetics.

Natural Appearance: Dental implants are custom-designed to match the colour, size, and shape of surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable alternative to traditional tooth replacement options.

Improved Oral Health: Dental implants do not require alterations to adjacent teeth, unlike dental bridges. This helps maintain the integrity of surrounding teeth, promoting overall oral health.
