Dental implants in Blacktown require a few conditions to ensure success.
First, you must have enough healthy bone structure intact to support a tooth implant successfully. Since titanium is biocompatible, an implant is placed into your jawbone, fusing and integrating with the bone over time. This process is called osseointegration. Once fully integrated, the implant can support a custom crown that replaces your tooth.
Healthy bone is needed for the implant to heal and integrate fully. If you lack bone structure due to periodontal disease, tooth loss, or trauma, our dentists may recommend a bone grafting procedure to rebuild your bone so it can support an implant.
A General Health Assessment
Next, you must be in good overall health to ensure the success of your tooth implant. Our dentist will recommend that any additional outstanding treatment, such as fillings or crowns, be completed before the dental implant placement surgery occurs.
Bacteria and decay are the enemies of tooth implants and can cause failure. Therefore, adhering to an excellent home care routine of daily brushing and flossing is essential to keep plaque buildup under control.
Routine check-ups with our dentists every six months will also protect the health and longevity of your tooth implant.
Instead of spending time searching for a "dentist near me," we invite you to contact your implant dentist in Blacktown for more information about dental implants.
