Your dazzling new smile is just
a dental implant away!

If you care for your tooth implants in the same way you would natural teeth, implants can last a lifetime. Just to make sure we’re on the same page, good oral hygiene means daily brushing, flossing and regular check-ups with your dentist.

Don’t let fear about the pain of dental implants put you off. Modern technology and advances in dental techniques means that any discomfort is minimal. Any soreness or tenderness that’s felt during recovery can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief medication.

Sure, replacing your missing teeth is a big investment, but not replacing them can come at a much bigger cost down the track. 

If you leave the gap, it’s very likely that the surrounding teeth will drift into the space. This will leave more holes in your smile and may affect your bite or cause jaw issues and headaches. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, making treatment more difficult. 

Gaps in your smile can take a big toll on your self-esteem and confidence. Missing teeth can also make it difficult to chew, leaving many people avoiding their favourite foods. These things affect your quality and enjoyment of life. So, while we know that tooth implants are an investment, we think they’re worth it — and we’re confident you will too.

Most patients are good candidates for dental implants. In cases where there is bone loss, grafts can be performed to restore volume and density to the bone. Don’t worry, during your implant consultation your Green Door Dental clinician will be able to tell you straight away if dental implants are the best solution for you.

There’s no need to hide your smile during dental implant treatment. While the implant is integrating with the bone, there are a few solutions available to maintain your smile and the function of the mouth. Depending on where in your mouth the implant is, a natural-looking temporary false tooth may be fitted.
