Quality Dental Implants

Sparkling Dental based in Neutral Bay has a professionally qualified team to help you replace missing teeth with a dental implant Sydney.

A tooth implant is now a benchmark for replacing a single missing tooth. It is the most effective way of replacing single or multiple missing teeth. A titanium rod about the size of a matchstick is surgically positioned into the jaw bone and then a replacement tooth or teeth are placed on top.

A tooth replica has a biological interaction with the jaw bone where it fuses to it. This provides permanent stable support for the artificial teeth on top. Unlike dentures, a replica implant won’t slip or shift in your mouth, which makes eating and speaking feel more natural.

For some people, conventional bridge and dentures are simply not comfortable, or even possible. Unlike bridges, an implant does not need adjacent teeth for support. Teeth on either side of the gap are ground down to support bridges. A dental replica does not touch teeth on either side of the gap.

However, you will need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support an implant. This is why you need a consultation appointment with our dentist first. Here we assess you and take records and have a scan done so we can treatment plan to the ideal for your implant placement.

Here at Sparkling Dental in Sydney, we use the longest researched, most trusted implant brand NobelBiocare. This brand was originally formed in 1978 in partnership with Professor Branemark. Professor Branemark discovered osseointegration (fusing of titanium to bone), and thus founded dental replicas. We use all genuine NobelBiocare parts.

At our Neutral Bay clinic, all practitioners and surgical nurses adhere to strict infection control and surgical protocols. This provides the most optimal outcome for the patient, using local anaesthetic and digital surgical guides as required.

Surgery Stage:

Part 1: During implant surgery, your jawbone is prepared at the site where the missing tooth is. A titanium implant is put in that site. To protect the implant while it fuses to the bone, a post called a “healing abutment” is placed on top of the implant.

During this healing period, you will see something looking like a silver button sitting on your gum. Most people don’t even notice or feel anything in their mouth following operation. In some cases, we can make a temporary tooth to mask the healing abutment.

Part 2: There are cases where the dental replics once placed, it needs to be totally buried in your jaw bone for osseointegration to take place. So a 2nd stage surgery is needed to connect the healing abutment to the original implant. This will help us to shape the gum.

Restorative Stage:

When the implant has stabilised, we take impressions to make the artificial tooth that goes on top of the implant. The end result is an aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement that looks and feels natural. Side effects nil.

Having missing teeth doesn’t just detract from your appearance, it can also make you more susceptible to gum disease and other oral health conditions. Dental replicas have long been considered the optimal solution for tooth replacement.

Dental implants closely replicate the appearance of real teeth, have a more than 95% success rate and are designed to last a lifetime. If you’ve been thinking about having dental implants and need a push over the edge, consider the following benefits.
