What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an innovative restorative dental procedure involving the placement of a titanium post directly into the jawbone. This post acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a sturdy foundation for attaching a lifelike dental crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants have transformed restorative dentistry by offering an exceptionally natural appearance and long-lasting functionality.
Why Consider Dental Implants?
Tooth loss affects more than just your smile—it can compromise oral health, diminish self-esteem, and restrict daily activities such as eating, speaking, and smiling confidently. Traditional methods like dentures or bridges often come with limitations, including discomfort, instability, or the need for adjustments. Dental implants offer a revolutionary alternative, designed to restore complete oral function, aesthetics, and comfort. At Russell Lea Dental, our implant solutions offer a permanent, reliable, and natural-feeling replacement, significantly improving your overall quality of life.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants go beyond traditional tooth replacement methods, offering numerous benefits that significantly enhance both your oral health and daily living:
Natural Appearance
Dental implants closely mimic your natural teeth in appearance, seamlessly blending with your existing teeth for a flawless smile.
Enhanced Durability
Made from high-quality, biocompatible titanium, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper oral care.
Jawbone Preservation
Implants stimulate natural bone growth, preventing the bone loss often associated with missing teeth.
Restored Oral Function
Enjoy eating your favourite foods with renewed comfort and confidence, as implants restore full biting and chewing capability.
Low Maintenance
Dental implants require no special cleaning routines—simply brush and floss as you would your natural teeth.
Protection for Healthy Teeth
Unlike dental bridges, implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support, ensuring surrounding teeth remain intact and healthy.
Types of Dental Implants Offered
At Russell Lea Dental, we tailor implant solutions to fit your specific dental condition and personal preferences:
Endosteal Implants:
The most common implant type, placed directly into your jawbone, typically shaped like small screws.
Subperiosteal Implants:
Suitable for patients with shallow jawbones, these implants rest on or just above the jawbone beneath the gums.
Zygomatic Implants:
Used in complex cases with insufficient jawbone, these implants anchor into the cheekbone, providing secure support.
Mini Dental Implants:
Ideal for smaller spaces or patients with limited bone density, mini implants offer a less invasive option with quicker recovery times.
Our Comprehensive Dental Implant Procedure
Consultation and Planning:
Comprehensive evaluation, including X-rays or 3D imaging, to plan precise implant placement. Our team thoroughly discusses the procedure, timelines, and expected outcomes.
Implant Placement Surgery:
The titanium post is carefully inserted into the jawbone. We ensure this step is comfortable and stress-free, offering intravenous sedation administered by our visiting IV sedation specialist. The procedure typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity.
Healing Period:
This crucial stage allows the implant to integrate naturally with your jawbone, typically lasting 3-6 months. During this period, we closely monitor your progress to ensure optimal healing.
Attachment of Custom Restoration:
Once the implant has fully integrated, our dentists create customised crowns, bridges, or dentures that closely match your natural teeth. This final step restores your smile’s aesthetics and functionality. We guide you on caring for your new implants and schedule regular follow-ups to ensure long-term success.
Throughout the entire dental implant journey, our team provides clear communication, ongoing support, and personalised aftercare instructions, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction at every stage.
