What is a Dental Implant – Curious To Know?
In short, an implant process involves fixing a titanium screw into the jawbone. This screw acts as the foundation of your crown. Between two and six months, the post integrates with your jawbone, creating a secure base for the new crown. Meanwhile, dentists suggest wearing a temporary crown. Once the dental implant in Newtown is strongly fixed, the dentists remove the temporary crown and replace it with the new permanent crown.
Our dentists perform multiple scans to ensure the positioning of the screw and to get confirmation of the health of the bone structure. If the jawbone is diseased, your implant will not be a success.

Can Anyone Get Dental Implants?
Any individual healthy enough to undergo a routine dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered for a dental implant. Patients must have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. They also must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental check-up and clean.
An individual who is suffering or has suffered from uncontrolled chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, patients using medication for Osteoporosis, patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area, advanced gum disease or heavy smokers need to be evaluated on an individual basis. If you are considering implants, talk to your dentist to see if they are right for you.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
The outcome of dental implant treatment varies between patients and depends on factors such as the implant site, the quantity and quality of supporting bone, overall oral health, individual risk factors and how treatment success is defined. Your dentist can assess your circumstances and discuss the expected outcome of treatment with you.
Private Health Insurance Cover for Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered a major dental treatment, and rebates vary depending on your insurance provider and policy limits. After a comprehensive consultation and a 3D scan of your jawbones, your dentist can provide you with a detailed treatment plan which you can use to communicate with your insurer about your rebate entitlement.

What Is Involved In Getting A Dental Implant?
The first step in the dental implant process is collecting information and creating an individualized treatment plan by your dentist. Then a small titanium post is placed into the bone in the place of your missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the titanium post, anchoring it securely in the jaw. The healing process can take from 6 to 12 weeks.
Once the implant has become integrated with the jawbone, a small connector post called an abutment is attached to the post to securely hold the new tooth. Your dentist will then take impressions of your teeth, take your natural tooth shade and creates a model of your bite. A replacement tooth, called a crown, will be made and then attached to the abutment. The process of making a crown can take up to two weeks.
Instead of one or more individual crowns, some patients may have attachments placed on the implant that retain and support a removable denture.
Do I need a bone graft and why?
Bone grafting is used to replace and improve the bone contours around implants. As bone is an implant’s best friend, we sometimes need more of it to improve the longevity, aesthetics and long-term comfort for our patient. When one loses a tooth, nature is very quick to begin the process of atrophy. Bone grafting aims is to encourage your own body to create mature and solid bone in a position where it otherwise wouldn’t have. Two types of grafts are used, artificial bone or osteoinductive/conductive material. Your dentist will explain to you what option is suitable for you.
What is Sinus Lifting?
A sinus means an air-filled space encapsulated within the bone. There is a sinus above the apices of our molar teeth in the upper jaw called maxillary sinus. When the upper molar teeth are lost. 2 things can happen that complicate replacing them by a dental implant; loss of the volume of jaw bone because of tooth loss and also a downward expansion of the maxillary sinus.
A great way to increase this volume is to lift the floor of the sinus back up to where it was. This process is called a sinus lift.
The careful lifting of the sinus membrane leaves a cavity that can easily be filled with bone, artificial bone or osteoinductive/conductive material. Implants can often be placed simultaneously with a very high success rate.
This is a very common procedure as the posterior maxilla is very quick to give up its bone volume after tooth loss.
How painful is a dental implant surgery?
Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction. At Blue Tooth Dental, we offer conscious sedation (twilight sedation) for implant surgeries if you wish to be sedated during the procedure.
After the anesthetic wears off, mild soreness can be treated with over-the-counter pain killers, such as Nurofen or Panadol.

Dental implant procedures are typically performed using local anaesthesia, with sedation available in some cases. Anaesthesia helps minimise pain and discomfort during the procedure, although individual experiences can vary. Some mild discomfort, swelling or soreness may occur after treatment and can usually be managed with recommended pain relief.
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and appropriate maintenance, dental implants can provide long-term function. However, their longevity varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Over time, the implant bonds with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation. A custom-made crown is then placed on top, restoring both function and appearance.
