Long-Term Dental Implants in Tweed Heads

Dentist Cleaning A Denture With Implants In A Dental Office — Dentist On Tweed in Tweed Heads, NSW

Improve Your Oral Health

At Dental on Tweed, we offer long-term dental implants for patients in Tweed Heads and Southport seeking to replace missing teeth, enhancing both oral functionality and aesthetics.

Dental implants are designed to provide a natural look and feel, closely mimicking the appearance and function of natural teeth. This makes them an ideal option for those looking to restore their smile and improve their overall oral health.

One of the key benefits of dental implants is their ability to maintain jawbone health. When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can begin to deteriorate over time due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants help prevent this bone loss by integrating with the jawbone, providing the necessary support and stimulation that is lost when a natural tooth is removed. This helps preserve the structure of the face.

Enhancing Quality Of Life

Dental implants can be securely anchored into the jawbone, offering a comfortable and stable fit. Unlike removable dentures, which can slip or cause discomfort, implants remain fixed in place, helping patients to speak, eat and smile with confidence.

Another advantage of dental implants is the restoration of full chewing ability. Patients can enjoy their favourite foods without worrying about the limitations often associated with other tooth replacement options.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable solution for tooth loss. Routine oral hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups, are essential to help ensure the longevity of the implants and the health of the surrounding gum tissue.

At Dental on Tweed, our dental implant solutions focus on improving both appearance and overall oral functionality.

Dental implants are a sound investment in long-term oral health that can help improve the quality of life for those who choose this treatment option. Call us today on 07 5536 1582 to book an appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants and how do they work?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth like crowns, bridges or dentures. The implants fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable and durable foundation for the artificial teeth, mimicking the look and function of natural teeth.
How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, often decades or even a lifetime. The longevity of an implant depends on factors like oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and avoiding habits like smoking, which can affect the health of the gums and bone surrounding the implant.
What is the recovery time after getting dental implants?

The initial recovery time after dental implant surgery typically takes a few days to a week, during which you may experience some swelling, discomfort or minor bleeding. However, the full healing process, where the implant integrates with the jawbone (osseointegration), can take several months. During this time, it’s important to follow your dentist’s care instructions to help ensure successful healing and integration.
How do I care for dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. It involves brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily and using an antimicrobial mouthwash if recommended by your dentist. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are essential to monitor the health of the implant and surrounding gums. Proper care helps prevent gum disease and other issues that could compromise the longevity and success of the implant.
Should I go to the dentist if I have a toothache?

An on-going toothache is a definite sign that you should make an appointment with your dentist. Until you can see your dentist, we recommend rinsing your mouth out with water and flossing to help remove debris, which may reduce pain. If you have any swelling, apply a cold compression to your cheek.

You may use painkillers, although avoid aspirin as they are known to prevent blood from clotting.
Is there a way I can stop my braces or retainer from being uncomfortable?

We find if you place a tiny bit of cotton ball or little piece of wax over the end of the wire, it will stop it from being irritating or uncomfortable.

If the wire has pierced your cheek, please call your dentist immediately. Do not attempt to remove the wire yourself as it may cause you more harm.
Can a tooth that has been knocked out be put back in?

It can! You have about 30 minutes to call our emergency dental service to rescue the tooth. Until you arrive, gently clean the tooth with water only and place it back into the socket the right way up. If the tooth cannot be replanted, place the tooth in a container of milk or water. Alternatively, you can place the tooth inside your cheek until you reach your dental office.
What do I do if I have broken or chipped a tooth?

Make a dental appointment straight away. In the meantime, clean the chipped tooth segment with water, milk or your own saliva. To help reduce swelling and minimise pain, apply a cold compression to the area.
What do I do if I have badly bitten my lip or tongue?

If your lip or tongue is bleeding, apply direct pressure with a clean piece of cloth or gauze. Swelling can be reduced with a cold compression. For severe cuts, call your dentist or doctor immediately.
