Dental Implants and Missing Teeth

Looking for a professional, experienced dental implant centre in Sydney to improve that smile and restore your confidence? Look no further than About Smiles!

Top-notch dental and teeth implants in Sydney

We understand that confidence and self-esteem can take a significant hit when you have one or more teeth missing. Plus, you need to factor in the negative impact it can have on your general oral hygiene/health in addition to associated issues, ranging from trouble eating all the way through to the development of problems with speech.

With all of that in mind, one of the worst facets of these issues is yet to be listed – your teeth can actually shift/drift in order to fill the missing gaps in your mouth! Apart from this physical misalignment of teeth, it can also lead to gum disease and cavities, which is why dental implants are a crucial aspect of oral hygiene when they’re required. The cost of dental implants here in Sydney, Australia, is one of the main reasons why most people postpone getting the procedure booked.

A dental implant is a long-term solution used to replace a tooth or teeth that are missing. The implant is a metal rod covered by a tooth-coloured crown, allowing it to look and feel like your other teeth. An implant can restore the function of your mouth and support your jaw, keeping your mouth and jaw healthy.

Our modern clinic and friendly team of highly qualified dental professionals work with the latest in emerging dental technology to provide the most affordable dental implants in Sydney, Australia.

Dental implants for your teeth

There are a variety of reasons, from cosmetic to health-related, why people want dental implants. While we understand the reasons behind wanting a nice smile, we know that oral health reasons are just as important. We see people asking for implants for:

Confidence — We understand that confidence and self-esteem can take a significant hit when you have one or more teeth missing. We know that having that gap filled creates a natural-looking smile and can bring relief.

Oral hygiene — You’ll need to factor in the negative impact a missing tooth can have on your general oral hygiene/health in addition to associated issues, ranging from trouble eating all the way through to the development of problems with speech.

Shifting teeth — Your teeth can actually shift/drift in order to fill the missing gaps in your mouth! Apart from this physical misalignment of teeth, it can also lead to gum disease and cavities, which is why dental implants are a crucial aspect of oral hygiene when they’re required.

The cost of dental implants

The cost of dental implants here in Sydney, Australia is one of the main reasons why most people postpone getting the procedure booked, as well as general anxiety/fear of going to the dentist.

At About Smiles, you don’t have to worry about your dental implant cost. We provide some of the most affordable dental implants in Sydney without having to compromise on the quality of our service or products.

Benefits of teeth implants in Sydney

Dental implants have several major advantages over other dental procedures. Bridges and dentures, for example, are less expensive initially, but over the long run, the cost of these procedures tends to add up. Here are some of the biggest benefits of getting dental implants instead of a bridge:

Durability — The rods for dental implants in Sydney are made from titanium, making them very durable, and if taken care of correctly, they can last a lifetime.

Convenient and easy — With dental implants, you don’t need to worry about removing anything for cleaning or having dentures fall out while you’re eating. You can brush and floss your implant just like you would your regular teeth.

Comfort — Your dental implant will bond with your jaw and feel like a normal tooth. A removable denture or flipper tooth can be uncomfortable and sometimes even affect your speech.

Jaw support — The surrounding bone can deteriorate without teeth in your jaw. When you put an implant into the bone, it stays strong and stimulates the natural growth of new bone in the area.

Assessing any risk factors

Having a dental implant is no different from having any other surgery. Because of this, there is the same minor risk of complications, including infection or nerve damage. There is also a risk of having sinus problems if your implant is in the upper jaw.

These risks are very low, and our dental implant specialists in Sydney have years of experience in the implant field. They understand this procedure and do everything in their power to minimise the chances of anything happening to patients.

Before beginning any Sydney dental implant procedure, our team will make sure you understand the possible risks so you can make the best decision.

devise a suitable treatment plan to meet both your requirements and budget. Before you know it, you’ll have a healthy and beautiful smile to show off — thanks to our affordable dental implants in Sydney.

FAQs

How much does a dental implant cost in Sydney?

The cost of dental implants can vary a lot based on the condition of your teeth, whether you have an infection, if you need a bone graft or other services, and a variety of other factors. The average cost ranges between $3,000 and $6,500 per tooth, depending on the dentist. Until a dentist has consulted with you, it’s hard to give you an exact cost. The more complicated the procedure will be, the more dental implants will cost.

Consult with your dentist to set up the best treatment plan and payment plan for your teeth. If you have dental insurance, it may cover part of the cost of your implant.

How long do dental implants last?

Our Sydney dental implants are designed to be permanent and last for the rest of your life. In fact, over 95% of them last for over ten years with no issues at all. The metal implant will stay secure in your bone and last a lifetime as long as you floss and take care of your teeth and general oral health.

Sometimes, after the 10 to 15-year mark, a crown may need to be repaired or replaced due to normal wear and tear. The crown can be replaced without having to replace the entire implant — so there’s no need to fear you’ll have to undergo another procedure.

How painful are dental implants?

This is a common question for people considering implants as an option for their teeth. Patients are placed under local anaesthesia, just like any other dental procedure. The prick of the needle stings a bit, but once you are numb, you will only feel a little pressure throughout the procedure and no pain.

If you’re worried or anxious about pain in the slightest, you can also be sedated before having the implant placed. This helps you to relax, and you won’t remember too much about the procedure afterwards.

Once the numbing of the gums has worn off, you may feel tenderness and discomfort for a few days as your tissues heal. Our dental implant Sydney specialists will continue checking in with you to ensure your pain is managed effectively.

Does Medicare cover tooth implants?

In most cases, Medicare does not cover tooth implants in Sydney. There are some exceptions if the tooth is affecting your overall health or if you’re a concession card holder. Concession card holders may be eligible for a voucher that can be used for any dental services, including an implant. If you’re unsure if your plan covers this treatment, call your insurance provider and talk to them about your benefits.

Is undergoing a dental implant in Sydney worth it?

Yes. Having a dental implant will boost your confidence when your smile doesn’t show any gaps. But beyond your smile and appearance, it will help you eat better, stop your teeth from shifting in your mouth, and help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. The health implications of not having the dental work done are not worth the risk.

How soon after extraction can I get an implant?

Some dental implants can be completed on the same day as a tooth extraction. Other implants will have to wait until a bone graft can be done and your bone heals. It usually takes 8 to 12 weeks for your bone and gums to completely heal and be ready for the next step. If you have to wait, there are options available to fill the gap in your mouth, so you don’t have to walk around with a missing tooth.
