LOSING natural teeth is something that can affect a person’s life. Aesthetically, it may cause them to be more conscious about their smile and functionally they may be unable to eat certain foods.
Due to structural changes in their mouth they may even experience headaches, jaw and neck pain.
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth permanently and have become a predictable and reliable treatment.
In cases where the patient requires full dentures, the use of implants to anchor the denture is a great solution to hold the denture firmly in place. Dental implants are small screws made of pure titanium that are surgically implanted in the jaw.
Sunrise Dental uses Straumann dental implants. These are Swiss manufactured with quality components, this being important for treatment outcomes.
If you are unsure if a dental implant is the best treatment for you, make a time to see Dr Wilkinson who will discuss options and make sure the outcome works within treatment plan guidelines for optimum oral health. – See more at: www.sunrisedental.com.au.
