What are the options for many missing teeth?

There are many different options in Brisbane for dental implant treatments for many missing teeth.

At the simplest level, dental implants can be used to help anchor dentures and give dentures better stability. In this form, typically, Smile Artistry utilises locator attachments due to their small size and great retentive ability. Patients can still remove their dentures to clean in the morning and evening, however the dentures are anchored firmly and will not come loose at other times.

The next level of treatment is for patients who wish for new teeth which are fixed and are like a natural, healthy tooth. The teeth can be constructed from either porcelain or resin. Typically a full jaw of teeth has six to eight implants, and the teeth are all joined together like a dental bridge.

For patients who are likely to require dental implant treatment, it is always recommended to attend for a Brisbane Dental Implant Consultation as soon as possible, as this will help to ensure that rapid loss of bone, which follows tooth removal, is prevented. This loss of bone can make dental implant treatment more involved.
