Discoloured front tooth and resultant gum disease replaced by prosthesis on single titanium implant.
Implant Dentistry
A dental implant provides a fixed solution for a missing tooth root. Usually made from medical grade titanium, an implant is a “post” which is attached to and integrates with the bone structure of the jaw. If a single tooth has been lost due to an accident, it is highly unlikely that more than one implant will be required. However, if the tooth has been lost due to gum disease, general ill health or substance abuse, there may be the chance of recurring problems with other teeth and more implants may be necessary.
If multiple teeth are missing, it is important to consider replacement options to help maintain the health and function of the surrounding teeth and supporting structures. The number of implants required will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on your individual circumstances.
In some cases, where many teeth have been lost or there is significant bone loss, All-on-4® dental implants may be considered as a full-arch treatment option. Specialist Prosthodontist Dr Tony Rotondo is a co-founder and Lead All-on-4® Dental Surgeon with Next Smile Australia.
Filling gaps helps prevent the spread and loss of other teeth
Dental implants are a well-established treatment option supported by a substantial body of clinical research. At Rotondo Clinic, patient safety is a priority, and implant treatment is carefully planned around your individual needs and circumstances.
As with any surgical procedure, dental implant treatment carries risks. These can include infection, swelling and bruising, nerve injury causing altered sensation, sinus complications and implant failure. Individual outcomes vary, which is why a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment planning are important.
Your dentist will review your medical history, carry out the necessary examinations and imaging, and discuss the potential benefits and risks of treatment with you so you can make an informed decision.
