At Double Bay Dental
Studio, we utilise the latest in implant technology
to replace teeth that have been lost, either
by trauma, tooth decay or gum disease. Losing
a tooth can mean loss of function, further
loss of gum tissue and bone, and of course,
compromised aesthetics.
The ITI dental implant
inserted by Dr Barwin Yee is a screw type
structure which replaces the natural tooth
root. The implant is inserted into the jawbone,
where it integrates with the bone, over
a period of about 8 weeks. The implants
are made of pure titanium, which normally
integrates with the body’s tissues
without any complications.
A permanent dental implant
can offer significant advantages to older
style prosthetics such as removable dentures.
• Looks, feels and
functions like a natural tooth.
• Does not compromise or harm adjacent
teeth.
• Prevents further bone loss by replacing
tooth root.
• Hygienic (cleans like a natural
tooth).
• Long term aesthetics (prevents further
bone collapse).
• The unique design of ITI implants
is ideal for molar replacement
At Double Bay Dental Studio
we can implant from a single tooth, through
to a complete lower and upper tooth replacement.
As well as the above benefits, complete
implant therapy also has further benefits.
• Maintains integrity
of facial structure.
• Increases comfort and stability
within the mouth.
• Restores natural biting and chewing
capacity.
• Improves facial appearance by restoring
upper lip support.
• Eliminates the need for denture
adhesives.
There are some basic requirements
to assess suitability for implant dentistry.
You will require good oral hygiene, normal
healing capacity and adequate bone in the
jaw, with regard to quality and volume.
Before any implantation
surgery Dr Barwin Yee will ensure that the
natural surrounding teeth are rehabilitated
and any existing gum disease or problems
are treated. Important factors for long
term success are conscientious oral hygiene
and regular check ups with our Dr Yee.
