Dental implants are one of the most sought-after teeth replacement options for anyone who wants a permanent solution to their missing teeth. Tooth loss can occur due to decay, injuries, or gingivitis/periodontal diseases. Loss of teeth often attracts the belief that there is not a permanent solution to the missing teeth. However, thanks to an invention by a Swedish orthopedic surgeon Per-Ingvar Brånemark, dental implants offer a more permanent solution to teeth loss than any other tooth-replacement procedure.
Dental implants are surgical fixtures that are ‘fixed’ to the jawbone to mimic the roots of a normal tooth. The fixture can then be fitted with a dental bridge or crown to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium, resemble metal screws, and are driven into the bone structure underneath your gums. With time, usually a couple of months, the implant will fuse into the surrounding bone and form a root-like structure that will support a bridge or a crown to replace a missing tooth. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or many missing teeth to restore their function and aesthetics. Dental implants are often preferred because they do not require the invasion of neighbouring teeth to be fixed. Additionally, they can be used to support bridges when there are no teeth to support the bridges.
There are mainly two types of dental implants:
Dental implants come with more advantages than other tooth replacement options do not offer. Besides being the only tooth replacement option, which is closest to a natural tooth, it is also considered one of the safest because it does not interfere with surrounding teeth during installation. Additionally, dental implants do not interfere with the bone structure or cause gum recession as other replacement procedures such as dentures or bridges. Dental implants also help restore the functionality of teeth, unlike dentures or bridges, which may limit the teeth functions such as chewing, biting, and speaking. With dental implants at Springvale dental clinic, your smile, as well as your confidence, will be restored.

Springvale dental clinic boasts of a dedicated team which uses state of the art implant kit from MIS Implants Australia to make sure your dental implant procedure is as smooth as possible. During an appointment for a dental implant, our dentist will use the MIS Implants kit to fix the titanium screw/cylinder into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. A temporary tooth is then mounted onto the post. After a couple of months, after the post has been embedded into the jawbone and the gum has healed, a customized crown will be fixed onto the post to replace the missing tooth. A crown usually feels more natural as it is permanently fixed into your jawbone. Missing teeth can make you self-conscious about your smile and may cause other oral health problems. Do not wait.

A loose dental implant is a simple fix. If the tiny screw connecting the implant to the implant crown is loose, then it needs to be replaced and tightened. Conversely, a simple crown re-cement can also be done if the implant crown comes off.
During the first 6-10 hours after dental implant surgery, eat soft foods like smoothies, yoghurt, mashed potatoes, milkshake, pudding, ice cream and soup. After the numbness wears off, stick to a soft foods diet for the next two weeks like eggs, pasta, pancakes, vegetables and macaroni to avoid chewing away your surgical site.
