Frequently Asked Questions
About Dental Implants
What are the types of dental implants?
There are two main types of dental implants: endosteal and subperiosteal.
Endosteal implants are the most commonly used type of dental implant. It is placed directly into your jawbone to hold one artificial tooth. They are used when there is enough healthy jaw bone to support the implant, and the conditions are favourable for healing.
Subperiosteal implants are instead placed on or above your jawbone. These are rarely used nowadays. But, they may be an option for people who have suffered from extensive bone loss in their jaw and are not good candidates for endosteal implants.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants offer numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options, including the following:
- Look, feel and function like your natural teeth.
- Are anchored in your mouth, increasing stability and comfort and making it easier to eat.
- Help stimulate bone growth, preventing alveolar bone loss and facial sagging.
- Are long-lasting and durable with proper care.
- Are simple to maintain and clean.
- Prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, which can lead to an improper bite.
- Improve your oral health and decrease gum disease and tooth decay risk.
Are dental implants painful?
No, generally, dental implants should not cause pain. You will be given a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area during your surgical procedure. Most patients report that they feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. However, this varies individually.
You may experience some soreness or tenderness for a few days. This is normal and should subside in a few days. Additionally, this can be controlled with over-the-counter pain medication and by following aftercare instructions.
What are the things I should prepare for the dental implant procedure?
Here are some ways to prepare for your dental implant procedure:
- Undergo your qualified health practitioner’s recommended procedures, such as bone grafting, if needed for your case.
- Schedule your appointment with us at a time when you can rest for the first few days after surgery.
- If you smoke, it is advised to quit in the weeks leading up to your implant surgery. Smoking can delay healing by increasing the chance of infection and implant failure.
- Get enough sleep the night before your oral surgery.
- Prepare soft food and liquid meals on hand for the first few days after your implant surgery.
- If your dentist prescribed medications to prepare you for the invasive procedure, take them as directed.
Can all of my teeth be replaced with dental implants?
Yes, all of your teeth can be replaced with dental implants. If there are no contraindications and you are deemed a good candidate, then this is a great option for you.
Various types of implant systems can be used to support different numbers of teeth. Some examples of these are All-on-4 implants and implant-supported dentures.
Consult with one of the qualified dentists here at South Perth Dental Surgery so they can assess your case and recommend a suitable tooth implant for you.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Teeth implants are simple to take care of. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Practise good oral hygiene as you normally would.
Brush twice a day and floss once daily. Use a soft toothbrush and brush gently to avoid damaging your prosthetic teeth. - Schedule regular visits to your dentist for checkups and cleanings.
They will assess the condition of your implants and check if everything is well-maintained. - Avoid sticky, crunchy, or hard foods.
Eating these types of food can cause damage to your teeth implants and natural teeth. - Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to promote good oral health.
This means limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks. - Quit smoking.
This is to prevent further damage and complications to your real teeth, gums, and implants.
Will my health fund cover the cost of dental implants?
If you want to confirm that your health fund will cover the cost of dental implants, you may contact our clinic. Some health funds cover the price of the dental implant procedure, but this can vary depending on your coverage.
Figuring out your health fund coverage and whether you are eligible to file a claim can be very confusing. Our clinic would be happy to help you decipher your policy and guide you on a good course of treatment.
