Have you stopped smiling or hide your grin behind whatever’s available because you dislike the fact that you are missing a tooth (or multiple ones)? Many Australians find that, over time, their teeth get knocked out or fall out because of gum disease, making it tough to chew and laugh without embarrassment or pain. Teeth implants are an excellent solution because they are similar to natural teeth. They’re stronger and more stable than other tooth replacement options, which means you don’t have to worry that they won’t fit correctly or function as a healthy tooth.
Teeth implants are designed to last for a long time (just as long as your natural teeth). They’re also more cost-effective than dentures or bridges. Even though you may think that a partial or full denture is less expensive, they must be replaced every five years or so. Therefore, you will spend more throughout your lifetime to have them remade to fit your changing mouth. As long as you care for your implant as you do the rest of your teeth (brushing and flossing regularly), you shouldn’t have any problems. However, you should continue visiting your general or family dentist every six months so that they can check the implant and the rest of your pearly whites.
If you’re wondering where to go to get implantation services, look no further than National Periodontics. Their dentists are qualified to handle implantation and periodontal care, which can help you prevent gum disease or reverse it if you already have it. You’ll find that they can also help with cleanings and preventative care, and also offer pinhole and laser surgery. Once you get a referral from your general dentist, you can visit them for a consultation to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for teeth implants.
