A Revolutionary Approach: The Procedure for Single Dental Implants
At Berwick Dental Clinic, we understand that any dental procedure can seem intimidating. That’s why we believe in transparency and guiding you through every step of the way. When it comes to single dental implants, it’s not just about replacing a missing tooth. It’s about creating a strong and lasting foundation for your new tooth. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we do it:
Consultation and Planning:
Our journey starts by engaging in a comprehensive consultation, during which we evaluate your oral health and engage in a meaningful conversation about your specific requirements and desired outcomes.
Preparation of the Jawbone:
In order to meet your unique requirements, there may be certain preparatory procedures involved, such as bone grafting, to ensure that your jawbone is sufficiently strong to provide the necessary support for the implant.
Placement of the Implant:
Once you’re ready, we proceed to the surgical phase. The implant, which is essentially a small titanium post, is carefully inserted into your jawbone. This serves as the root of your new tooth.
Healing and Integration:
After the implant is placed, there’s a healing period. During this time, the implant fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration. This makes the implant a strong and permanent part of your jaw, providing a robust foundation for the new tooth.
Attachment of the Abutment and Crown:
After healing, an abutment (a small connector) is attached to the implant. It holds the new tooth (crown) that will be visible above the gum line. We use digital scanners to create a highly accurate model of your mouth, which helps us design a custom crown that fits perfectly and looks natural.
Final Adjustments and Follow-Up:
Once your new tooth is in place, we’ll make any final adjustments needed to ensure comfort and a perfect fit. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress and maintain your oral health.
Throughout the whole process, we’re committed to precision, safety, and your comfort. And in the end, you’ll have a replacement tooth that functions and looks just like a natural one.
The Benefits of Single Dental Implants
Opting for single dental implants is a life-changing decision that brings along a multitude of benefits.
Boost to Oral Health:
One of the primary advantages of dental implants is their positive impact on oral health. When we lose a tooth, the jawbone underneath begins to shrink away or ‘atrophy’ due to lack of stimulation. This can lead to further dental issues down the line. However, dental implants mimic the root of a tooth, providing the necessary stimulation and preventing bone atrophy. This not only retains the bone tissue but also supports overall oral health.
Stability Like No Other:
Dental implants provide an unmatched level of stability compared to traditional dentures or bridges. They are securely anchored into the jawbone, allowing the implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures to function just like natural teeth. This means you can speak, eat, and chew with absolute confidence, without worrying about your prosthetic shifting or slipping out of place.
Regain Your Youthful Appearance:
Tooth loss often leads to a sunken facial appearance due to bone recession. Dental implants fill this gap and stimulate bone growth, helping to maintain the natural shape of your face and jaw. This not only restores your healthy smile but also contributes to a more youthful facial appearance.
Durable and Natural-Looking Results:
At Berwick Dental Clinic, our focus is not just on remedying the issue at hand, but also ensuring long-lasting results. We use top-quality American-made implants and premium materials such as zirconia, porcelain, and chromium cobalt for our restorations. These materials mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. With proper care and oral hygiene, these restorations can last a lifetime, making dental implants a cost-effective solution in the long run.

We believe that everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile. That’s why we accept CDBS and are preferred providers for HCF. We’re also members of the SMILE fee group. To make our services more accessible, we offer diverse payment options for your convenience, including Afterpay, Openpay, ZIP, HUMM, in-house direct debit payments for orthodontic treatment, and Superannuation release.
