Despite improvements in dental care, thousands of Australians lose their teeth each year. The most common causes are tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. For years the only treatment options available were bridges and dentures. But new improvements in dental care have brought us dental implants.
Implants are a safe and common form of treatment for people who have missing or even loose teeth. They can also be used to treat chronic dental problems. Dr. Hoffenberg and his team understand the importance of being able to smile with confidence, which is why they’re passionate about helping you improve your smile and dental health.
An implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically inserted into your jawbone. Dental implants are a very durable and modern technology, resulting in a newly implanted tooth that looks and feels natural. In fact, neither family or friends will notice a difference and you’ll even have a hard time discerning between the “implant” and your natural teeth.
Improved Appearance of Smile
Dental implants help to minimise or even completely prevent bone loss and further deterioration of your facial structure and retain a more youthful appearance.
Comfortable
You’ll still be able to brush, floss, eat, drink, and sleep with your dental implants because they are permanent – unlike dentures which need to be removed regularly.
Improved Oral Health
After you’ve replaced the failing teeth and roots, the implant will function like a real tooth. It even reduces your chances of developing periodontal disease.
The first step on the road towards a perfect dental implant is the development of a treatment plan that suits your specific needs, as well as meets all your expectations. From there the root implant (a small post often made of titanium) is positioned and affixed in place. The root implant is placed into the bone socket of your missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the metal post and anchors itself in the jaw. Once the implant is bound to the jawbone, a small connector post called an abutment will be attached to the post to hold the new tooth.
The replacement tooth, known as the crown, is then fitted to the abutment. Dr. Hoffenberg will match the colour of the new tooth to the colour of your natural teeth. The implant will look, feel and function just like it was always meant to be there!
Caring For Your New Teeth
To ensure the longevity of your new implant, specific techniques and efforts are necessary to keep it clean and free of destructive bacteria and plaque, which can cause infection in the tissues around the implant which could lead to failure.
- Clean at least twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
- Use a low-abrasive toothpaste.
- Brush under and around the implant crown.
- Floss daily with unwaxed tape or implant-specific floss.
- Use a recommended oral irrigator.
Implants are a proven and successful medical procedure. How you care for your implant is an important part of success.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A great looking smile can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. Dr. Hoffenberg has extensive training and experience in the art of cosmetic dentistry and can create a personalised treatment plan to give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile you’ll love. In cases where a single cosmetic procedure will not create the results you desire, he can combine numerous procedures and give you a personal smile makeover plan. These services include:
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires and brackets using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know you’re straightening your teeth. Whether you have a crossbite, overbite, underbite, or issues with the spacing of your teeth, schedule a FREE Smile Assessment with Dr. Hoffenberg and find out how Invisalign can straighten your teeth at a price you can afford.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth may lead to an unsightly smile, lack confidence and the avoidance of many types of foods. Traditionally, the only treatment options to replace missing teeth were dentures or bridges. Today, many patients turn to Dental Implants to replace missing teeth*. With its proven track record, you can feel confident in making the move to replace troublesome dentures with a lasting solution, a stronger bite, and a beautiful smile. Whether you need a single implant or several implants, Dr. Hoffenberg can help.
