Dental Implants
Dental Implants Wodonga
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root usually made of titanium. It is inserted into the jawbone through surgery.
Dental implants typically have 3 parts:
The implant: A screw-like post that serves as a root for your new teeth.
The abutment: A permanent connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth.
The crown: It is usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and good looks.
Eligible Candidates for Dental Implants
The qualified candidate for a dental implant is in good oral and general health.
Sufficient bone in your jaw is needed to support the dental implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are not affected by periodontal disease.
Improving your smile in several ways
Dental implants can improve your appearance, speech and chewing ability.
Your Wodonga dentist may recommend implants to secure dental bridges and dentures.
Because dental implants are permanent, you don’t need to use adhesives to hold dentures in place.
Unlike dental bridges, all of your healthy teeth stay intact. Dental implants do not get cavities.
Restore Your Teeth with Natural-Looking Dental Implants
If you are in good general health, have healthy gums and have enough bone in the jaw to hold an implant, dental implants may be right for you. Your Wodonga dentist will carefully examine your mouth and take X-rays of your head, jaw, and teeth to determine if dental implants are right for you.
The length of time for treatment is approximately 6 months from the time the implant is placed until the crown can be attached to the implant.

What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a screw-like post, usually made of titanium, that serves as a replacement for the tooth root.
Who can get dental implants?
If you are in good overall health, have healthy gums and have enough jawbone to hold an implant, dental implants might be good for you.
If your jawbone has shrunk or if it hasn’t developed normally, you may be able to have a bone graft to build the bone. A bone graft is a way of adding new bone material to your jawbone. Your Wodonga dentist will tell you if bone grafting can be done.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Since dental implants are placed in the jawbone, artificial replacement teeth attached to them look and act much like natural teeth. Dental implants need to be kept clean using a toothbrush and floss.
Your Wodonga dentist will show you the proper cleaning technique for dental implants. Schedule routine dental check-ups so your dentist can make sure that your bite is right and that your implants are not loose.
