Until dental implants became part of the dentistry mainstream, teeth replacement options usually involved giving up certain foods because they were difficult to chew. Dental implants allow you to eat all of your favourite dishes and have several health benefits, which is why they are considered the most practical way to replace missing teeth. With a success rate of over 95 per cent, patients love their results.
Dentures and bridges fill the smile gap, but dental implants actually replace the entire tooth – including the root. The dental implant screw, or post, is made of titanium, a biocompatible metal that fuses with your natural bone in a process called osseointegration. This may prevent jawbone deterioration as the replacement root can stimulate the bone to remain viable.
Finding a North Tamworth dentist experienced in dental implant placement and restoration will improve results both functionally and aesthetically.
Dr Daniel Raditaolana and Dr Naledi Mosarwa have introduced 3-D cone beam imaging to assist with the precise planning and placement of dental implants. 3-D cone beam x-rays provide detailed information about the bone quality, position of the roots of the teeth and the location of sinus and nerve landmarks.
While many patients prefer to avoid surgery, most patients find that the dental implant procedure is more comfortable than their extraction with minimal inflammation. Patients often tell us they wish they had moved forward with dental implants sooner.
Once the dental implant is placed, allowing time to integrate with the bone is essential for proper healing and takes about three to four months. We design each dental implant crown to fit your bite perfectly and match the adjacent teeth for a seamless appearance.
If you have several missing teeth or full tooth loss, ask your North Tamworth dentist about implant-supported dentures and bridges.
When you choose our dental clinic, you can count on staying with a team you trust for the duration; from implant surgery to the placement of your new restoring tooth or restoration.
Single dental implants are easy to take care of and require the same dedication as your natural teeth – brushing and flossing mindfully. In addition to home care, regular check-up and clean appointments will support healthy gums and the longevity of your dental implant.
Periodontal and bone disease are the two main threats to tooth loss and the loss of a dental implant. We are here to organise a treatment plan to keep you smiling confidently for years to come.
Another advantage of dental implants involves stability. Unlike dentures, which are removable and sometimes unstable, dental implants stay where they belong. They can actually help to anchor dentures for a better fit.
Patients with active social and professional lives love their results and appreciate the added confidence of not having to worry about dentures that move or fall out at the wrong time.

Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking tooth restoration procedure. Crafted from biocompatible titanium, dental implants are constructed to replace the root structure of an absent tooth. They offer stability and support on many levels.
It is human nature to accept the state of things thinking they will not change or improve, but many patients have noted that dental implants open up a new world of opportunities for them.
While dentures and dental bridges can fill in the space of a missing tooth, they rest along the gum line and therefore fail to stimulate the jaw bone. Without this stimulation, the jaw bone starts to deteriorate and recede.
This often leads to further tooth loss and an obvious change to your appearance (not in a positive way), which may require costly procedures down the road. Additionally, patients will need to get their dentures adjusted or relined as the jaw bone keeps changing.
Patients with dental implants tell us that their diet and nutrition have tremendously improved since they can chew foods they previously couldn't.
If you've never considered dental implants before, you may be pleasantly surprised at the many benefits they offer. They are custom-fabricated to look and feel just like natural teeth, and patients never have to worry about them shifting or falling out.
