Are you looking forward to get a replacement for your missing tooth/teeth in North Brisbane? The Kallangur Dental Surgery at North Brisbane will help you regain your lost smile back through dental implants. Dental implants are now a widely used way to replace missing teeth. The crown on top is shaded and shaped to match your own teeth, so it blends in with your smile.
Dental implants are surgical fixtures, placed in the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone. They are replacements for the root of missing tooth/teeth. Dental implants are sturdy and stable, and they do not rely on the neighbouring teeth for support, so those teeth do not need to be cut down as they would for a bridge. They help to restore the function of the missing tooth/teeth. Implant treatment is well established, but like any surgery it carries risks. Our dentists at North Brisbane clinic will explain everything in detail to you before they go ahead with the dental implants procedure.
With good care, dental implants can last for many years. The two most common materials that dental implants are made from are titanium and zirconia (zirconium oxide, a ceramic), often called zirconium implants.
Dental implants made from titanium have been in use since the 1960s and have the longest track record of any implant material. Over a few months, bone grows closely onto the titanium surface, a process called osseointegration, which anchors the implant. Titanium implants are usually made in two parts, so the abutment and crown can be adjusted or replaced later, and they come in many sizes and shapes. They are generally the lower-cost option, and most dentists use titanium implants for most patients.
Zirconia is a newer material for dental implants than titanium. Studies so far show good results, although there is less long-term research behind it. Zirconia is metal-free and tooth-coloured, so it may suit people who have concerns about metal (titanium is a metal) being in their body, or who have thin gums where a grey titanium post could show through. Many zirconia implants are made in one piece, which gives the dentist less flexibility in positioning the crown, and they can cost more.
Both titanium and zirconia can work well for dental implants. Our Kallangur Dental Surgery North Brisbane will help you understand about both the materials on dental implants before suggesting the one that suits you. You can undergo the dental implants process comfortably at our North Brisbane clinic.
