Implants

You Need to Know the Following About Implants

They are the least troublesome bit of dentistry you will ever have the pleasure of receiving.

98% success in the upper jaw and 92% in the lower jaw imply that there is a small chance of failure. A failed implant is rarely painful, merely not tight enough yet some exudate may come through the gum. The removal and subsequent healing is almost always uneventful and at about 8 weeks it can be replaced for which we would charge just the rebate or nothing other than a facility fee of about $200 to cover sterile drapes and instruments which are "one time use".

<small>An interim or existing denture can require adjustments, repairs and relines due to the small swelling of the healing gum and its subsequent shrinkage or, of course, should an implant require replacement, the shape and fit can need change or even total replacement of the denture! We do not expect any of this, but you need to be prepare emotionally for some reversals in outcome.</small>

<small>We will be married to your mouth and consequently promise you that we will and can sort out any problem 7 days a week, 24 hours a day should you be in pain or your temporary smile collapse.</small>

The prognosis for implants is excellent. If the bone grows over the implant, it is there for the rest of your life, presuming no external trauma and your correct cleaning and the intelligent monitoring by you and us - you for any looseness and us at Aardent by assessing the bite, the gum and bone health.An implant bridge is often screw retained or placed with a retrievable cement so any porcelain fractures can be attended to by careful removal with a small driver.

Should you fracture some porcelain, a repair can be carried out, however, you should not see the first bridge or crown as the last - you may need it renewed in 10 or 20 years.

If your smile is not high, this is a favorable factor given that the final gum shape around the implant is not predictable as the height of bone in-fill can vary with the implant angulation and the shape of your basal facial bone.

Bone loss under a denture can be some 1-2 mm per year but once an implant is placed the surrounding bone is stabilized with that loss dropping to about 0.1 mm per year or sometimes thickening and becoming more dense around and along the jaw distant to the implant! Best news yet!

Your best outcome would be all the implants remain stable and the bridge or crown functions for 15 to 20 years with the eventual replacement due to fair wear and hunger or your other teeth yellow over the years.
