Will it hurt?

In Sydney CBD, dental implants surgery is relatively simple and painless. During the procedure a small hole in your jawbone is made for the dental implant to be placed. We avoid all the nerves that create pain, so you will only need local anaesthetic, though sedation is also available if you want it. You will experience some discomfort and soreness post op but this will pass quickly.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are made from small titanium screws that are surgically placed into your jawbone. The healing process can take up to 6 months to complete, once healed a crown, bridge or denture can be fixed onto the implant.

What are the benefits of dental implants in Sydney CBD?

Dental implants encourage the growth of your jawbone, this provides two incredible benefits that no other teeth replacement method provides. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in the surrounding area starts to shrink back and reabsorb. This shrinkage causes two issues; it undermines the integrity of the surrounding teeth and can lead to additional tooth loss, and jawbone shrinkage affects the structure of your face, leading to a ‘shrunken’ cheek effect.

Dental implants address both of these issues due to the way titanium encourages bone growth. During the healing process, your jawbone will grow onto the implant, encouraging the growth of blood vessels keeping the bone healthy and strong. This growth then holds the implant in place, creating an anchor for a tooth replacement to be attached. Your replacement tooth will now function the same as your natural teeth.

Implants can be used to replace one tooth up to all of your teeth, providing a real solution to tooth loss. Contact us today to book a full consultation so we can assess your suitability for implants.
