Dental Implants

Our highly experienced Nowra dental team are committed to compromised care. So, when it comes to replacing your missing teeth, we suggest the same treatment we would want for our own smiles: dental implants.

Implants are biocompatible titanium rods that are about the same width and length of a natural tooth root. When we set them into your bone, your body fuses with them and the implant becomes a permanent part of your smile.

When you take a book off the shelf, what happens to the books on either side? They tilt! It’s the same with your smile. A missing tooth causes changes in your overall bite, but it also places you at risk for bone loss, gum disease, and irregular tooth wear.

To prevent these unwanted side-effects, it’s best to replace your tooth with an implant as soon as possible. It’s also a great way to start your Smile Makeover!

Dental implant treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t alter the adjacent teeth. It can be completed with local anaesthetic, so it’s almost easier than having a tooth taken out.

Implants are extremely durable. Although we can use individual implants with crowns for single missing teeth, it’s also possible to use pairs of implants for multi-tooth restorations, such as bridges. As few as four implants can potentially anchor a full-arch upper or lower prosthesis.

Our Nowra dentists will fully evaluate your mouth to determine if dental implants are appropriate. Today’s modern designs are ideal for anyone who is healthy and has enough bone support. However, implants are best for adults over the age of 18; not children whose smiles are still developing.
