Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants in Townsville

Dental Implant Restorations

At Aspire Dental, we offer dental implant restorations as an option for people who may be suffering from missing or damaged teeth. Dental implants consist of a titanium screw that is placed into your jawbone to hold a porcelain crown in place. The result is a natural-looking implant that can help you eat or talk again properly.

They are usually fitted during two separate procedures, first to implant the screw and second to fit the permanent implant to it. This usually takes place after the bone has fused to the implant, so around 4-8 months later. This is a completely safe and secure solution, offering you more confidence in your smile without the need for orthodontics.

Is cosmetic dentistry right for me?

At Aspire Dental, we love helping people improve their smiles and confidence through great oral care. Cosmetic dentistry won't necessarily improve your oral health or your confidence. It's important you ask all the questions you can to be sure a particular cosmetic dental procedure is exactly what you're looking for and that you're aware of the benefits, risks and limitations.
Who is a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Most people who are in good general health and have healthy gums and enough bone in the jaw to hold an implant are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, there are certain conditions and diseases that may affect whether dental implants are right for you. For instance, uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, radiation to the jaws, smoking, alcoholism or uncontrolled periodontal (gum) disease may affect whether dental implants will fuse to your bone. It's important to let your dentist know all about your medical status (past and present) together with all medications you are taking, whether prescribed, alternative (herbal) or over the counter.
How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for tooth loss and can last many decades with the right care. Their longevity can be influenced by factors such as oral hygiene habits, overall health and regular dental visits. It's also important to note that while the implant itself is long-lasting, the crown or the artificial tooth might need replacement due to wear and tear.
