Recapture Your Smile With Brisbane Dental Implants
Are missing teeth preventing you from leading a happy and healthy life? Dental Implants are a permanent solution to help you recapture the health and appearance of your smile after tooth loss.
A missing tooth can distract from an otherwise beautiful smile, make you look and feel years older and destroy your confidence. It can also have a negative impact on your overall dental health. How? Surrounding gum tissue will be weakened and can also lead to the deterioration of the jawbone. The remaining teeth may shift, rotate or become crooked and an improper bite may develop.

What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a great replacement for missing teeth. It is a metal post or frame that imitates an “artificial tooth root” which is surgically positioned into the jawbone under the gums. A custom made crown is then screwed into the post.
Implant procedures also have several other uses, such as:
- Anchors to allow placement of crowns and bridges.
- Good support attachment for removable dentures to allow for more stability.
- Implant dentures can often make it more comfortable for patients by providing a more secure and snug fit.
Why should I choose an implant to replace a missing tooth?

What sort of dental implants are available at Divine Smiles?
What if my jawbone isn’t right for a dental implant?
If bone levels are poor then a bone grafting could be considered. This becomes mandatory when there is insufficient bone width or height to accommodate an implant. In most cases here at Divine Smiles we do the bone graft surgery within the practice. For complicated cases you will be referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. We use Simplant Software to plan the implant surgery increasing the predictability of the Implant placement and also increasing the predictability of the Grafting procedures.When Is A Dental Implant Not A Suitable Treatment?
Implant therapy may not be possible if the jaw bone is not sufficiently thick to accommodate implants and bone grafting is not possible. Also, implants are not suitable for patients with untreated periodontitis or uncontrolled diabetes, because of the risk of failure through infection or poor healing. Other medical conditions that rule out the use of implants include blood clotting disorders; certain bone diseases, deficiencies in the immune system, severe systemic illnesses and drug abuse. Smoking is also an important consideration, because smokers heal less efficiently than non-smokers and are more likely to experience loosening of their implants. Quitting smoking will significantly increase your chances of successful implant therapy.How Do We Try To Ensure The Best Outcome For Dental Implant Treatment?
We use Simplant Software to make sure the dental implant is placed in the best position with the highest chance of a successful procedure.
