Dental Implants Treatment in Rouse Hill

Restore Your Smile

At Rouse Hill Smiles we provide a unique, end-to-end solution for dental implant treatment, helping patients see the process through from beginning to end. Unlike some dental practices who need to refer their patients to specialists for the surgical component, Dr Teena is able to perform the entire dental implant surgery right here in our Rouse Hill facility, saving you both time and additional costs.

We provide patients with a number of solutions to replace missing teeth and achieve a beautiful smile. These include treatments such as mini dental implants, multiple dental tooth implants, and implant supported dentures.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants serve as an artificial tooth root made from titanium that is surgically-fitted into the jaw bone. Once the site has healed, promoting the implant to fuse with its surrounding bone, our dentist then fixes a crown, replicating a natural-looking tooth.

What to Expect

When you attend your consultation with Dr Teena, she will assess your mouth to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. This also involves taking intra and extra oral photographs, along with a CT scan of your mouth to provide a more comprehensive overview.

After just 2-3 days, you are then able to visit Dr Teena once again to view a 3D model of your mouth, created from the scans and impressions. Our dentist explains the treatment to you thoroughly, discussing the dental implant process, associated costs, and potential risks. We pride ourselves on being upfront and honest with patients at all times, as their individual needs are of utmost importance to us.

Multiple Dental Implants

As the name suggests, multiple dental implants simply refer to more than one implant. This procedure occurs when the patient has multiple missing teeth in their mouth, which are suitable sites for dental implants. In case of collective missing gaps, dental tooth implants with a bridge can be fitted. This consists of the crowns on dental tooth implants, as well as pontic crowns.

Implant Supported Dentures

While a regular denture rests on the gums, this can sometimes cause concerns for the wearer, leaving the denture feeling loose or unreliable. In some cases, we are able to make the denture more secure and durable by supporting the structure with implants.

Additionally, an implant-supported denture is typically used when the patient lacks teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Although dental implants tend to cost more than other forms of restorative dentistry, they are an extremely effective, durable, and long-lasting solution to replacing missing teeth or assisting with denture stability. Other benefits of dental implants include:

5 Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants

During the tooth implant procedure, the pain level can be reduced using local anaesthesia, which helps in numbing the nerves that surround the dental implant area. You may feel pressure during the process, however, there will be hardly any discomfort. Usually, after the surgery, you are likely to feel slight pain, some tenderness, inconvenience, or swelling around the dental implant area for a few days. But, this is quite normal after a straightforward dental implant procedure.

Any symptoms after the surgery usually subside in a week. The recovery, however, takes about three to four weeks while the gums start to heal on the third day. Bear in mind that the time involved in complete recovery depends on the number of implant placement surgeries or when there is the need for bone grafts.

While there is no age that is too old for dental implants, the perfect candidate is judged on the basis of enough bone in the jaw to support a dental implant, among other factors. It should be noted that dental implants are long-lasting and effective, the same for youngsters as for older people, making them a viable choice for people in their older age, apparently making lives more comfortable and better. However, certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorders, make the candidate unsuitable for the procedure.

Over the past few years, dental implants have made an impression as an amazing alternative to dentures. Replacing dentures with dental implants is a good idea since the latter lasts longer and involves fewer visits to the dentist. Dental implants are easy to maintain, even if they are more expensive than dentures. When it comes to improved function and increased comfort with a plethora of other benefits that come with dental implants, it is worth the investment.

You are expected to follow the mentioned below aftercare tips post your dental implant procedure. 

  • Avoid hot food and drinks.
  • Consider putting on ice packs if you feel slight discomfort or experience swelling. 
  • Refrain from brushing your teeth straight away after the procedure. 
  • You may use a saltwater mouthwash during the first week after the procedure. 
  • Rinse your mouth after each meal to prevent any potential damage. 
  • Refrain from smoking. 
  • Eat after your anaesthetic has worn off. 
  • Soft food diet is recommended for up to six weeks until the dental implant area is completely healed.
