There are a range of dental implant options, and after a thorough planning process, your dental practitioner will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs. These options may include:

• Replacement of a single tooth

• Replacement of multiple teeth

• Full arch replacement

Dental implant treatment is often completed in stages. These typically include:

• Placement of the implant into the jawbone
• Placement of the abutment (connector)
• Placement of the artificial tooth or bridge onto the abutment

Like natural teeth, implant-supported restorations require regular care. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending routine check-ups can help support long-term oral health.

In some cases, your dental team may refer you to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon or Periodontist for specific aspects of your care. This helps ensure that you receive the appropriate clinical expertise and support throughout your treatment journey.

The surgical placement of a guided dental implant typically takes 1-2 hours per tooth. However, the complete implant process occurs in stages over several months. After the initial placement, the implant needs time to integrate with your jawbone (usually 3-6 months) before the final crown is attached. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during your consultation, as treatment duration can vary based on individual factors such as bone quality and whether any preparatory procedures are needed.

Dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. The precision of surgical guided implants often results in less tissue trauma and faster healing compared to traditional methods. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your comfort throughout the healing process.

Dental implants offer several advantages: they look, feel, and function like natural teeth; they preserve jawbone and prevent bone loss that occurs with missing teeth; they don't require alteration of adjacent healthy teeth (unlike bridges); and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. At Sydney Road Dental Care, all our implants come with a 5-year guarantee, giving you added peace of mind. They're also more comfortable and stable than removable dentures, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
