What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, involving the placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. This post is then topped with a crown to create a natural-looking and functional replacement for the missing tooth. Dental implants help preserve jawbone health and provide a stable foundation for eating and speaking comfortably. This can include single implants or All On 4 Dental Implants. 

Why Sleep Dentistry is a good option for Dental Implants

Sleep dentistry can be used during the dental implant procedure, especially for patients who experience anxiety, have a low pain tolerance, or need multiple implants placed at once. Under general anaesthesia, patients are completely unconscious, which means they won't feel any pain or discomfort during the surgery. This makes the procedure more manageable for patients who are nervous or unable to tolerate lengthy dental treatments, ensuring a stress-free experience while allowing the dentist to complete the implant placement efficiently.

Types of Dental Implants

At Sleep Dentistry Melbourne, three types of dental implants are used to cater to different patient needs: single implants, All On 4 Plus® implants, and zygomatic implants. Single implants are ideal for replacing individual missing teeth, involving the placement of a titanium post in the jawbone, which is then topped with a custom crown to restore both function and appearance. 

All On 4 Plus® dental implants are used for patients with multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss, providing a full-arch restoration with just four strategically placed implants. This method offers a secure and cost-effective alternative to traditional dentures, giving patients a fixed and natural-looking solution. 

Zygomatic implants are used for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, where traditional implants may not be possible. Instead of anchoring in the jawbone, these implants are placed in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a strong foundation for dental restorations. 

Sleep dentistry is used for all these types of implants to ensure patients are completely comfortable and stress-free during the procedure, especially when multiple implants or more complex surgical techniques are required.
