Dental implants improve dental function, solve ill-fitting plastic teeth problems and restore lost confidence. Implants are often referred to as the "Third set" of teeth after the first two have been lost; baby teeth, adult teeth, implant-supported teeth.
How are missing teeth replaced?
The replacement of missing teeth depends on the number and location of the gaps and the condition of the remaining teeth. There are a few options to replace missing teeth.
A bridge can be used where one to three teeth need replacing and especially if the teeth adjacent to the gap are moderately or heavily filled.
An implant [man made tooth root] can be placed into the gap of the missing tooth and a crown is attached to this. This is the standard of care now for the replacement of missing teeth especially if the adjacent teeth are unfilled.
A removable partial denture is another option.This needs to be taken out for cleaning but may be more suitable when many teeth are missing.
What's New for people who have lost all their natural teeth?!
Since 1957, when the first scientific evidence was published by Professor P.I. Branemark, this treatment modality has revolutionised dentistry. Implants are often referred to as the "Third set" of teeth after the first two have been lost; baby teeth, adult teeth, implant-supported teeth.
Put simply, the magic of a titanium dental implant is that when it is inserted into the bone, in over 96% of cases, the bone grows directly around the implant to create a new tooth root. Crowns, bridges, or plastic teeth can then be permanently secured to the implant to eliminate the need for removable plastic teeth.
Mini dental implants can be used to stabilize plastic teeth where looseness is a problem. They are a more recent development and do not require surgery-they are placed through the gum quickly and painlessly under local anesthetic.
The mini implant is effective, successful, and very economical when compared to regular implants to stabilize plastic teeth. These results can be dramatic- it is not uncommon at all to hear patients comment that the implants have "changed my life". The surgery time to place mini implants is around 60 minutes and the denture is fitted back to them on the same day.

Loose Dentures?
You are not alone! In Australia there are 2.3 million people who have a denture. Many do have problems especially with lower dentures.
Long–Term Denture Stabilization is available:
• One hour

Mini-Dental Implants are ultra small diameter biocompatible implant screws which can be very effective in stabilizing your lower dentures. The surgery time to place mini implants is around 60 minutes and the denture is fitted back to them on the same day.
Loose or ill-fitting plastic teeth can create a great deal of discomfort and inability to chew anything other than “mushy” food. Speaking can be difficult with lower dentures that move around. It is not uncommon for a family member to complain about a denture wearer's disagreeable breath as a result of food being trapped and decaying under their dentures.
The mini implant is effective, successful, and very economical when compared to regular implants to stabilize plastic teeth. These results can be dramatic patients often comment that the implants have "changed my life".
