Dental Implants, Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts

At Smooth Dental, we're committed to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. We offer advanced treatments for patients with missing teeth or inadequate bone structure, including dental implants, bone grafting, and sinus lifts. Our experienced team uses these leading-edge procedures to restore your oral health and confidence.

Dental Implants: A Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. We surgically place these titanium posts into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time. This process, called osseointegration, creates a sturdy foundation for your new artificial tooth.

Benefits of dental implants include: 

  • Natural appearance and function
  • Preservation of jawbone structure
  • No impact on adjacent teeth
  • Easy maintenance
  • Long-lasting results

Our dentists will assess your oral health and discuss whether dental implants are the right choice for you. In some cases, we may need to perform bone grafting or a sinus lift before implant placement to ensure successful treatment.

Dental Implants Are Most Like Having Your Natural Teeth Again

Replacing missing teeth with dental implants means you are getting a brand-new tooth with a biocompatible root. The root is important because it stimulates the jawbone, which can prevent bone from deteriorating.

Dental Implants Look and Feel Natural

The dental implant post is beneath the gums. We expertly match your implant crown to your natural teeth so that your smile appears seamless.

Dental Implant Care Is Easy

You take care of single dental implants just as you would care for your natural teeth. Brushing, flossing and regular check-ups are the keys to success.

Eat the Foods You Love

With dental implants, you can eat the same foods you would with your natural teeth, so your diet, choices and nutrition thrive even with dental implants.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Smooth Dental in Oran Park, we understand that missing teeth can significantly impact your oral health, appearance and confidence. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers several effective options for replacing missing teeth, each with its own advantages.

Dental Implants — These are often considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. An implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, supporting a crown, bridge or denture. Implants look and function like natural teeth, preserve jawbone health and could last a lifetime with proper care.

Bridges — A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that literally 'bridges' the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored to the adjacent natural teeth. Bridges are a good option when surrounding teeth need crowns, or implants aren't suitable.

Dentures — These removable appliances can replace multiple teeth or even complete arches. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch.

Implant-Supported Dentures or All-on-4® — This option combines the stability of implants with the coverage of dentures. A few strategically placed implants support a full denture, providing improved comfort and function compared to traditional dentures.

The best option for you depends on several factors, including:

  • The number and location of missing teeth
  • The condition of your remaining teeth and gums
  • Your overall oral and general health
  • Your budget and lifestyle preferences

At Smooth Dental, we take a personalised approach to tooth replacement. During your consultation, our experienced dentists will thoroughly assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable options for your unique situation.

Remember, replacing missing teeth is not just about aesthetics. It's crucial for maintaining proper bite alignment, preventing remaining teeth from shifting, and preserving facial structure. At Smooth Dental, we're committed to helping you restore your smile and oral health with the most appropriate and effective solution for your needs.

At Smooth Dental in Oran Park, our extensive experience and expertise often lead us to recommend dental implants as an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is a sophisticated dental prosthetic that serves as a replacement tooth root, made of titanium.

The implant itself is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gumline. Titanium is used because it's biocompatible, meaning it can integrate with human bone in a process called osseointegration. This integration allows the implant to firmly anchor to your jaw, much like a natural tooth root.

Once the implant has bonded with the jawbone, typically taking a few months, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the post. This abutment protrudes above the gumline and serves as the base for your new tooth. Finally, a custom-made crown (your new artificial tooth) is attached to the abutment, completing the implant process.

Dental implants offer several advantages:

  • They look and function like natural teeth
  • They're designed to fuse with bone, making them permanent
  • They prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure
  • They don't affect adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges
  • They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence

It's important to note that the implant process requires good general and oral health, adequate bone in your jaw to support the implant, and healthy gum tissues free from periodontal disease.

At Smooth Dental, we use state-of-the-art technology to plan and place implants with precision. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia and is well-tolerated by most patients.

While dental implants require a greater initial investment than other tooth replacement options, their durability and quality of life make them a cost-effective long-term solution for many patients in Oran Park and beyond.

Bone Grafting: Building a Strong Foundation

If you've lost bone density in your jaw due to tooth loss or gum disease, bone grafting can help. This procedure involves adding bone material to your jaw, encouraging new bone growth and creating a solid base for dental implants.

We may recommend bone grafting if:

  • You've had missing teeth for an extended period
  • You suffer from advanced periodontal disease
  • You've experienced facial trauma affecting your jaw

Our team uses various bone grafting techniques, including autogenous grafts (using your own bone), allografts (using donor bone), and synthetic materials. We'll determine the best approach based on your individual needs.

Sinus Lifts: Creating Space for Upper Jaw Implants

A sinus lift, also known as sinus augmentation, becomes necessary when there isn't enough bone height in the upper jaw for dental implants. This often occurs when the sinuses are too close to the jaw or when bone loss has occurred. 

During a sinus lift procedure, we gently raise the sinus membrane and add bone graft material to the sinus floor. This creates more space between your jaw and sinuses, allowing for successful implant placement. 

Sinus lifts can:

  • Increase bone volume in your upper jaw
  • Make dental implants possible for more patients
  • Improve the long-term success of implants

Our skilled dentists perform sinus lifts with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
