Having an implant placed with us will be a comfortable experience that you will not regret. You will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner! To help you get started, below you will find answers to some common questions regarding dental implants.

What is a dental implant?

This is a way of replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Usually made from titanium, the implant is placed during a simple surgical procedure. Once it has integrated with the jaw bone it can be restored by placing a crown on top of it.

How long have dental implants been around for?

Dental implants have been a “main-stream” dental treatment since the 1980’s with the introduction of the “Titanium-cylinder.”

However, the history of dental implants goes back as far as the Ancient Egyptians – gold wire has been found in the jaw-bones of mummies.

How successful are dental implants?

Very successful when every part of the treatment is carried out correctly. A 95% success rate is commonly quoted.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding Dr Franck will discuss these risks with you.

What factors increase the chances of implant success?

If the quality and quantity of bone are both good
If the dentist places and restores the implant correctly
If the patient is a non-smoker
If the patient’s oral hygiene is good and has regular checks and cleans every 6 months
Choosing the right Dentist of course!

Are there any medical conditions that can contraindicate implant placement?

Yes, but every individual is different. The most important factor is bone quality and quantity. Some of these conditions are:

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Uncontrolled diabetes
Blood disorders and bone disorders.

Who can place an implant?

Oral surgeons, periodontists and dentists can place the implant providing they have gone through the relevant training.

Who can restore the implant?

A dentist will place the crown on top of the implant to make it look and function like a tooth.

Is implant surgery painful?

No, an effective local anaesthetic should prevent any pain. Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should consult with and seek advice from an appropriately qualified health practitioner about risks involved.

When can I return to work?

Usually the day after surgery. Your implantologist will advise you if this is not the case.

How much will an implant cost?

Dental Implant Cost can vary considerably. Sometimes bone-grafts, temporary implant crowns and other additional procedures are required. These will all add to the cost. In general, an implant, together with its crown the cost will be between $4500 and $5000 at our practice in 2011 (subject to change).

Top 10 Reasons to get a Dental Check Up ASAP

Robina Dental — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 05:33:30 +0000

Below are our Robina Dental Top 10 Dental TIps for why you should get a dental checkup ASAP…

1. To prevent oral cancer:

According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, someone dies from oral cancer, every hour of every day in the United States alone. When you have your dental cleaning, your dentist is also screening you for oral cancer, which is highly curable if diagnosed early.

2. To prevent gum disease:

Gum disease is an infection in the gum tissues and bone. It is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. If diagnosed early, it can be treated and reversed. If treatment is not received, a more serious and advanced stage of gum disease may follow. Regular dental cleanings and check ups, flossing daily and brushing twice a day are key factors in preventing gum disease.

3. To help maintain good physical health:

Recent studies have linked heart attacks and strokes to gum disease. A dental cleaning every 6 months helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy and could possibly reduce your risk of heart disease and strokes.

4. To keep your teeth:

Since gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, regular dental check ups and cleanings, brushing and flossing are vital to keeping as many teeth as you can. Keeping your teeth means better chewing function and ultimately, better health.

5. To detect dental problems early:

Your dentist will be able to detect any early signs of problems with your teeth or gums. Early detection of cavities, broken fillings and gum disease are easily treatable. If these problems go untreated, root canals, gum surgery and removal of teeth could become the only treatment options available.

6. To maintain good oral health:

Your dentist will help to ensure that you are maintaining your good oral health by visual examination and comparing your previous dental check ups. If you are falling off track with your oral hygiene he / she will help put you back on the right path.

7. To use your health insurance plan:

Dental insurance plans usually pay for all or most of the cost of dental cleanings and check ups every six months. Take advantage of this and save a lot of money in the long run by avoiding costly dental procedures that can result from poor oral hygiene.

8. To create a treatment plan:

If your dentist diagnoses any problems in your mouth, he /she will most likely give you a treatment plan. This treatment plan will have the cost of each procedure that you will need. It will also ensure that your treatment is carried out in the correct order and in the most cost-effective way.

9. To have a bright smile:

Your dentist can remove most tobacco, coffee and tea stains. During your cleaning, your dentist will also polish your teeth to make them cleaner.

10. To prevent bad breath:

Dental studies show that about 85 percent of people with persistent bad breath, also known as halitosis have a dental problem that is to blame. Good oral hygiene is essential in preventing bad breath. Regular check ups and cleanings are the best way to make sure that you are maintaining good oral hygiene.
