Dental Implants Perth

Dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth by mimicking the natural structure of a tooth.

The dental implant post (or anchor) is made of titanium, a biocompatible material, and serves as an artificial tooth root. Your dentist will anchor the implant screw surgically into your jawbone. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant in a process known as osseointegration, ensuring stability. This process usually takes between 3 and 6 months.

Candidates for dental implants should have good oral health, sufficient bone density in the jaw, and healthy gum tissues. Your dentist will assess your suitability for implants during a consultation.

Your dental implant specialist at My Implant Dentist will conduct a thorough initial examination and design the most suitable treatment plan for your specific needs – for free. So, while it’s best to consult directly with your dentist, there are some factors to bear in mind.

Firstly, dental implants have a 95–98% success rate when placed by qualified implant dentists. So, if you have missing teeth, you are very likely a good candidate for dental implants.

Secondly, even if you have low bone density and need bone grafting, suffer from gum disease or osteoporosis, or have a history of smoking, you may still be eligible for dental implants. Your implant specialist will go through your medical history with you, and will alert you to any issues that could influence your implant procedure. My Implant Dentist offers multiple treatment options for dental implants, so we always develop individualised teeth replacement plans that work for you.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are designed to be a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth.

Dental implant pain is often described as being less severe than the pain associated with tooth extraction. Modern anaesthetics and pain control techniques have made getting dental implants a relatively painless process. 

You should not suffer from any acute pain, or pain and symptoms that persist longer than 10 days as you progress through the various stages of healing after surgery. If you do, contact your dentist immediately. 

The dental implant process can take several months to complete, as it involves multiple stages including implant placement, healing, and restoration. The exact timeline will depend on your individual treatment plan and healing response.

The All-On-4 dental implant procedure is a technique used to replace a full arch of missing teeth with just four dental implants. This innovative approach offers a more cost-effective and efficient solution for full-mouth restoration.

With the proper care, your implant can last more than 20 years – maintenance is important for achieving this. You’ll need to practise at-home oral hygiene twice a day, which includes brushing and flossing. You’ll also need to attend regular check-ups with your dentist, eat healthily, and stop smoking.

Some patients in search of cheapest dental implants consider overseas treatment options.

However, any invasive surgical procedure overseas is not recommended due to the significant risk.

The Australian Dental Association has highlighted that many patients who get surgery overseas have their dental implants completely re-done at an Australian clinic. This is because it in many cases it costs more to salvage your overseas implants than to have it redone.
