Sleep Dentistry for Dental Implants and All-on-4®

For several reasons, tooth loss devastates your smile, dental health, and overall well-being.

First, you may experience difficulties chewing and eating your food comfortably, impacting your nutrition.

You may also feel embarrassed about the gaps in your smile, which can impact your personal and professional relationships.

Tooth loss also means root loss, resulting in bone loss when your jawbone is left without a tooth root to stimulate it. Lack of bone support impacts neighbouring teeth and your dental health.

The good news is that dental implants offer excellent options for replacing one or multiple missing teeth.

How Dental Implants Restore Your Smile and Dental Health

A dental implant restores both your tooth and root, giving you the closest option to a natural tooth.

Our dentists carefully place a biocompatible titanium implant post into your jawbone, where it fuses and integrates with the bone over time through a process called osseointegration, taking the place of your root.

Once the implant is fully integrated with your bone, it's ready to support and provide stability for your new tooth, a customized porcelain crown for a single tooth.

Dental implants can also replace multiple missing teeth by supporting appliances like a bridge or denture. We can use four dental implants to support an upper or lower denture in a procedure called All-on-4®. Two dental implants can anchor and secure a bridge.

The Advantages of Choosing Tooth Implants to Restore Your Smile

Dental implants offer several advantages that our patients appreciate:

Protection for your jawbone against the bone deterioration that occurs with tooth loss
The appearance, function and feel of a natural tooth
Maintaining bite and tooth alignment
Excellent longevity with the potential to last for a lifetime
Easy care as you can brush and floss normally
A wise smile investment because of exceptional longevity

Dental implants are an investment in your smile and dental health up front, but this can be more cost-effective than choosing an option you'll need to replace down the road.

Sleep Dentistry Makes Implant Dentistry Comfortable

Patients who need tooth implants in Brisbane and struggle with anxiety or have special needs may benefit from having their treatment done with Sleep Dentistry Brisbane. Dr Asad and his team can comfortably place dental implants while patients relax under IV sedation or general anaesthetic (GA).

Sedation dentistry can also be helpful if dental implants are part of a more extensive treatment plan you'd like to complete during one or two visits. IV sedation or GA help patients get the high-quality care we believe they deserve while they're relaxed and sleeping peacefully.
