Dental Implants
Dental implants are an ideal tooth replacement option for many patients who have a single tooth missing or multiple missing teeth. If you need to have teeth replaced with attractive, functional dental implants in the Budgewoi area, our skilled team is here to help.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
We recommend dental implants as a top tooth replacement choice for a variety of reasons. To help you understand why dental implants are popular among dentists and patients, we have listed some of their significant benefits below:
- Dental implants include oral health benefits that other tooth replacements don’t offer, like the ability to stimulate natural bone growth within the jaw.
- Implants offer excellent functionality and long-term durability, which means most patients can enjoy this effective tooth replacement for many years.
- Dental implants look natural, blending seamlessly into your smile, and they feel comfortable when chewing, talking, and during other activities.
We enjoy placing dental implants at Budgewoi Dental because we’ve seen the excellent results dental implants provide. Implants are one of the most advanced tooth replacement options currently available, and we’re proud to offer them to the Budgewoi community.
The Dental Implant Procedure
Before recommending dental implants, our skilled dentist will carefully examine your dental situation and take x-rays to ensure that you’re a good fit for the procedure. Once you have both decided dental implants are the perfect fit, we will move forward with placing the dental implant.
Dental implants are made using titanium. Titanium is a biocompatible material, meaning it is compatible with the tissues in the human body. During a dental implant procedure, we place the titanium implant in your jaw, where it acts as a replacement for your tooth root. To make the procedure more comfortable, we will use local anesthesia.
Over time, the implant grows into the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. Once the implant has healed, we can attach the permanent visual portion of the tooth replacement, which is generally a dental crown, bridge, or denture, to complete your smile. Until the final tooth replacement is ready, we can provide you with a temporary tooth replacement.
The entire process, from the first consultation to the placement of the final tooth, generally takes only about 4-6 months.
In our Budgewoi dental practice, we use dental implants to successfully create attractive, functional tooth replacements all the time, and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have about the process. We invite you to call us.
Immediate Dental Implants
With immediate dental implants, our dentists can place dental implants immediately after an extraction. We may extract a tooth and replace it with an implant if it is decayed or damaged to an extent where we can’t save it with restorative procedures.
Immediate placement of the implant after an extraction speeds the overall treatment process and, in some cases, even allows the dentist to attach a replacement tooth the same day.
Implant-Supported Dentures in Budgewoi
Implant-supported dentures are a great option for many patients, especially when replacing multiple missing teeth. Dentures are often more economical for patients when replacing numerous teeth than implants, so some patients may prefer dentures for that reason. However, with this method, there’s no need to choose.
Implant-supported dentures allow patients to enjoy the benefits of both dental implants and dentures at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide dental implants as a tooth replacement for our Budgewoi area patients all the time. We enjoy using dental implants to replace missing teeth due to the many benefits dental implants can give our patients.
We can use a single dental implant to replace one missing tooth or use multiple dental implants to replace multiple missing teeth. Our skilled dentists put the titanium implant directly into the patient’s jaw, where it grows into the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. The implant acts as a natural tooth root in the jaw, encouraging natural bone growth, which is excellent for your oral health.
When you visit our clinic for dental implants, we will thoroughly evaluate your dental situation to ensure you're eligible for dental implants before proceeding with this treatment option.
Are Dental Implants Comfortable?
Once the healing process is complete, a dental implant should feel totally natural and comfortable. You can eat, talk, and laugh just as you would with a regular tooth. There is no special maintenance needed for the implant itself. However, if you have a dental crown, bridge or dentures attached to the implant, it does help the longevity of the tooth replacement to avoid certain foods and activities that could cause harm.
Hard and crunchy foods may cause chips or cracks in a crown or even a natural tooth, and so can habits like teeth grinding or clenching.
