Dental Implants can help you enjoy a happy, healthy smile for years to come.

While you might have looked forward to losing a tooth as a child and cashing in on a visit from the tooth fairy, as an adult dealing with a missing tooth is both painful and embarrassing. It’s something that no adult enjoys, but it’s more common than you might think. 

Luckily, there are several tooth replacement options in Perth available to fix a gap in your smile. In Perth dental implants, dentures, and bridges can all restore your grin and give you a smile that you are proud of. 

 

Here are the top benefits of a dental implant procedure in Perth. 

 

They Are Low-Maintenance 

 

Implants, unlike dentures, are extremely easy to maintain. Once the implants are placed and the bone heals around it, they work just like normal teeth. 

 

To keep your tooth in top condition, you would need to brush it regularly and have regular cleanings with your dentist. After a dental implant procedure in Perth our dentist will be organising the fabrication of the tooth that is placed on the implant – this is called the crown. 

 

You Can Eat Whatever You Want 

 

Think about the foods that you love. Many foods are soft, but some are hard and crunchy.  

Denture patients often complain about losing a lot of the taste of their food – this could be because of the loss of the texture aspect of the tasting of food by the plastic on the denture covering the palate – something a denture wearer knows all to well. 

 

Dental implants in Perth make it possible to eat exactly what you want and whenever you want. Implant technology ensures that your jawbone is strong, and your surrounding teeth are healthy. This means you won’t need to lose your chewing ability. 

 

They are Long Lasting 

 

Modern technology has significantly improved the durability and quality of dental implants. It is important to understand that an implant is not a magical entity that works all by itself. There are huge differences in successes and failures – all determined by the operator’s experience and expertise. When done correctly whilst carefully following the modern science backed protocols, then the implants can last years with the proper care after a dental implant procedure in Perth. 

 

It’s important to maintain a regular oral hygiene regimen. This means flossing at least once a day and brushing your teeth twice daily. 

 

Implants that aren’t maintained properly will not last as long.  

 

Implants Preserve Your Bone Health 

 

Your natural teeth roots do more than just hold your teeth in their place. They can also strengthen your jawbone. 

 

If you lose a permanent tooth, the bone around it can weaken. The bone deterioration is more severe if the missing tooth is not treated promptly. This can cause damage to the health and strength of your permanent teeth over time. 

 

Dental implants can strengthen your jaw and keep it in good shape. The implant’s post acts as the root of your remaining teeth and helps prevent deterioration of the bone. 

 

You Will be More Confident 

 

Being self-conscious about how you smile can make it difficult to communicate with others and keep you from living a happy life. 

 

Dental implants function and look just like regular teeth. The cap matches the colour of the surrounding teeth, filling in the spaces you don’t like. People won’t even be able to tell that you have undergone any tooth replacement options in Perth unless you tell them. 

 

With dental implants, you will feel more confident in your smile and happy with how your teeth look. 

 

Why Not See the Benefits of Dental Implants for Yourself?  

 

At West Coast Dental Care, we believe that patients who wish to improve their smiles and their oral health can greatly benefit from dental implants. A dental implant is made of a titanium, biocompatible tooth-shaped screw that fits directly into the jawbone. This screw creates a solid base for a dental crown. This tooth functions and looks like a normal one. With regular flossing, brushing and mouthwash, our patients benefit from a dental implant for many years.
