Dental implants South Yarra helping to keep the appearance of ageing at bay!
Losing a tooth from an accident or tooth decay will result in deterioration of the jawbone, and this in turn will create a sunken look in the face around the area where the tooth was lost. This will gradually impact the density of the bone. Your body will identify that there is no tooth and therefore the nutrients that were being sent are no longer required and can be used elsewhere in your body. Dentures and bridges do not stimulate your jawbone because they rest on or above your gums. However, Dental implants South Yarra do stimulate your jawbone because they effectively replicate the root of your lost tooth; this signals to your body that it is necessary to supply nutrients to the root area because there is a new root. This stimulation helps to eliminate that sunken face look that occurs when a tooth has been lost and the support has been removed.

Functionality and aesthetics
We strive to keep your teeth in the best condition possible so that they can perform their primary function of chewing your food. Your teeth are also a prominent feature of your face and are constantly on view when you smile and speak. Cosmetic dentistry is about maintaining the functionality of your teeth while making them look the best they can. We aim to provide a solid solution to your tooth loss that places you in as close a position as possible to how you functioned and looked before you lost your tooth. The best way to replace a lost tooth is to mimic how your teeth work. To achieve this goal we have perfected the procedure of dental implants South Yarra using the latest technology and software we will pinpoint the location, where your new tooth should be placed. A small part of your gum will be cut and a hole drilled into your jawbone. We will then insert a Titanium post into the hole to act as your new tooth’s root. Titanium is used because it naturally fuses with human bone providing the ideal solid base. In some cases a bone graft may be required to increase the density of your bone. Usually a four to six month healing period is required before the new prosthetic tooth can be fitted and a temporary crown will be fitted. After the healing period your new prosthetic tooth will be fitted which will match your existing teeth in colour and design making it indistinguishable from your normal teeth.
Just like before!
It usually takes a few weeks of being careful with what you eat to give your mouth time to heal properly. Once that healing period is over you can take care of your new tooth in the same way as your natural teeth and enjoy eating and drinking just like you did before you lost your tooth.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
