Dental Implants
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a biocompatible post made from titanium or, in some cases, a specialized ceramic material that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The body integrates it as a tooth root replacement. A dental crown, bridge or a denture can be attached to this foundation.
At Bundall Dental And Implants, our principal dentist, Dr Shaibani, has special interest and training in the field of dental implants and has years of experience in dealing with some of the most complex and technically demanding implant reconstruction cases. So when you book your Implant consultation appointment with us, you will recieve a professional dentists’ opinion and advice, customised to your unique requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are screw-like structures, typically made from titanium, designed to replace the roots of missing teeth. These precision-engineered devices provide a stable foundation for attaching dental crowns, allowing the restored tooth to function similarly to a natural tooth.
Recovery times can vary, but most patients can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours following surgery. Complete healing and integration of the implant with the bone, a process known as osseointegration, typically takes several months.
Dental implants represent a significant investment in oral health. The cost reflects the complexity of the procedure and the quality of materials used, such as medical-grade titanium and precision dental components. While dental implants are in the higher price bracket for dental services, their durability and functional benefits may provide long-term value. For patients where funding dental treatment presents challenges, options such as accessing superannuation for early release to fund necessary dental procedures may be available. Our team members at Bundall Dental are available to discuss financing options with you.
Many patients report experiencing minimal discomfort during and after the dental implant procedure. While concern about pain is common, most patients report manageable discomfort levels post-operatively that can typically be controlled with prescribed pain management protocols.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, damage to surrounding teeth or nerves, and implant failure. A dentist can help you make an informed decision about these risks.
