What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants, or tooth implants as they are sometimes referred to, are an excellent option for replacing one or more missing teeth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth, comprised of a titanium root (post) and crown, which is used as a replacement for a missing tooth/teeth. These implants are designed to look and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible and help to restore the mechanical function of your mouth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?
As a permanent solution for missing teeth, dental implants offer numerous benefits over traditional dentures and bridges. They provide a natural look and feel, improve speech, and enhance your ability to each and enjoy your favourite foods.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
-
Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth.
-
Improved Comfort: Eliminates the discomfort of removable dentures.
-
Enhanced Oral Health: Maintains bone structure and prevents bone loss.
-
Durability: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
-
Convenience: No need for adhesives or special cleaning routines.
Dental Implant Procedure
Your experienced clinicians go through a straightforward and efficient dental implant process, ensuring minimal discomfort and maximum satisfaction.
Step-by-Step Process:
-
Consultation: Comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment plan.
-
Your First Appointment: This appointment will prepare you for the implant, including x-rays of your mouth, an examination of your oral health, and organising a CT scan of your jaw. If any of your existing teeth require extraction your dentist may perform those extractions during this appointment, or will arrange for a follow-up appointment.
-
Dental Implant Placement: Once all preparations have been made, your dentist will surgically insert the implant into your jawbone. This is a minor surgery typically done under general anaesthetic.
-
Healing Period: Over approximately three to six months your implant will integrate and fuse with your bone.
-
Crown Placement: Once the implant is fully secure in your mouth, a custom-made crown or bridge will be designed and attached to the implant, completing your beautiful new smile!
All-On-4 Implants: A Full Arch Solution
For patients needing a full arch replacement, All-On-4 implants are often a fantastic option. This revolutionary technique uses four strategically placed implants to support a full set of teeth, providing a stable and long-lasting solution.
Benefits of All-On-4 Implants:
-
Stability and Support: Carrying similar benefits to traditional implants, all-on-4 implants are a fixed solution that feels like natural teeth, bringing improved comfort and durability.
-
Shorter Treatment Time: Due to the efficiency of the all-on-4 solution, there is a shorter treatment time compared to getting an individual implant for each tooth.
-
Immediate results: Same-day treatment may be available, providing immediate function and aesthetics.
-
Cost-Effective: With fewer implants required, the overall cost of the all-on-4 solution is also more affordable.
-
Bone Preservation: The procedure minimises bone loss and maintains facial structure.
-
Stability: All-on-4 implants are more stable in the mouth than conventional dentures.
Types of Dental Implants
There are two types of dental implants that are often used, conventional (full) implants and mini implants. Both offer the same function, however as the names suggest, they differ in size.
Typically mini implants are used in the case where there is insufficient jaw bone for a full implant to be placed. Each patient is different, and as such your dentist at East Perth Dental Centre will assess your individual circumstances to determine which implant is the best option.
