Dental Implants at North Sydney Dentistry:
When a tooth is removed, the gap in the jaw can limit one’s chewing ability. To further complicate the issues, the adjacent teeth and opposing tooth can grow into the missing tooth’s space, messing up the occlusion altogether. A dental implant is a restoration designed to replace the missing tooth without any damage to the adjacent teeth. It consists of a medical grade titanium alloy fixture embedded in the jaw bone, with a dental crown fitted on top of it. It mimics the aesthetic and function of the natural tooth. For whatever your reason that your tooth is loss, consult with your dentist whether dental implant is suitable for you.
In suitable candidates, this procedure can also be used to also replace a whole arch of missing teeth. No more loose dentures.
