WHY CHOOSE SYDNEY DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are the GOLD STANDARD in tooth replacement solutions for our Sydney patients. They are a fixed solution, performed in our Pyrmont clinic, compared to removable like dentures, that function just like a natural tooth allowing patients to chew with their full original force. This means no more dodging tough or hard to eat foods, worrying about dentures falling out when you laugh or gaps in your teeth when you smile!
WHAT IS A SYDNEY DENTAL IMPLANT
A Sydney dental implant is a TITANIUM SCREW FIXTURE that is placed into the jawbone in our Pyrmont surgery, to act like a tooth root. After a period of healing the dental implant can be used to build upon, adding a tooth or teeth to create a fully functional, lifelike tooth. Multiple dental implants (4 or more) can be used to create a whole functional arch, called “ALL ON X”
