DENTAL IMPLANTS IN CASTLE HILL
Strong, Reliable Tooth Replacement Treatment
Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are a popular and effective option for those who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a long-lasting and comfortable solution for missing teeth. They are also a great alternative to dentures or bridges, as they do not require adjacent teeth to be ground down in order to anchor the replacement tooth or bridge. In this way, Our dental implant castle hill treatment can help you to maintain the natural structure of the mouth and prevent future dental problems.
How Dental Implants work?
Evaluation
The first step in getting dental implants is a thorough evaluation by a dentist or oral surgeon. This will involve a comprehensive dental exam, including X-rays and possibly a CT scan, to assess the condition of your teeth and jawbone.
Implant Placement
Once the evaluation is complete and it is determined that you are a good candidate for dental implants, the first step in the actual implant process is the placement of the implant itself. This involves surgically placing a small titanium post into the jawbone. Over time, the bone will grow around the implant, providing a sturdy and permanent base for a replacement tooth.
Abutment Placement
After the implant has fused with the jawbone (which can take several months), a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. This will serve as the base for the replacement tooth.
Crown Placement
The final step in the dental implant process is the placement of the crown or replacement tooth. This is typically done after the abutment has been placed and has healed and will involve taking an impression of your teeth to create a custom-made replacement tooth that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.

Dental Implants vs. Bridges: Which Is Right for You?
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, both dental implants and bridges are popular options. The choice between the two depends on several factors, including the number of missing teeth, the overall health of the patient’s mouth, and the patient’s personal preferences.
Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a permanent and sturdy base for a replacement tooth. They are a good option for people who have lost one or more teeth and have healthy gums and a strong jawbone. Implants have a high success rate and can last for many years with proper care.
Bridges, on the other hand, are dental restorations that are anchored to the remaining teeth on either side of a gap. They are a good option for people who have one or more missing teeth and have healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges are less invasive than implants and can be a good choice for people who are not good candidates for implant surgery.
Ultimately, the choice between dental implants and bridges depends on the individual patient’s needs and preferences. We can help assess the patient’s oral health and recommend the best option for their specific situation.
