Tooth Implants in Townsville QLD

For those interested in our education session on dental implants please enquire today.

Tailored to your needs, tooth implants are bespoke in design, made from pure titanium and replace the root portion of a missing tooth or a missing set of teeth.

They provide rigid support for the overlying crown, bridge or over-denture that will be attached to the implant, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.

If you’re looking for excellence and high-quality delivery of tooth implants in Townsville, you’ve come to the right practice.

As part of the Nova Dental Implant Centre network, Casey Dentists offers advanced, evidence-based dental implant treatment using the latest technology. Benefit from comprehensive care, all in one place.

The Success of Tooth Implants Procedure

At our clinic, we have practitioners who perform implant treatments for patients with missing or damaged teeth. Implants allow conservative management of spaces between teeth, preventing the dentist from having to sacrifice adjacent teeth to support a prosthesis, such as a bridge. Single tooth implants restore your teeth to complete function and aesthetics and are a reliable long-term replacement of a missing tooth. Single tooth implants have a 95% success rate at 10 years post-placement.

Dr Matthew Casey was trained at the Brener Institute for advanced implant training in Sydney 2008, which is arguably the most comprehensive training facility in Australia.  Dr Casey then pursued global implant training in 2016 – 2017 where he studied in Europe under some of the Masters in implants, bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafitng,  to become a Masters clinician in Oral Implants LLU 2017.  Dr Casey has successfully completed many implant cases, allowing him to perform successful tooth implant treatments for patients.

More recently, loose dentures have become a big problem. We find placing anywhere from two to six implants in the jaw can support a strong, long-lasting denture-type restoration.  Ask us how?

The Benefits of Tooth Implants Surgery

Patients that visit our clinic are looking for a permanent solution to their oral problem. This may involve replacing a missing tooth. The benefits of an implant include:

• a complete restoration of the missing tooth space
• provides patients with the ability to once again eat all the types of food that they once enjoyed
• gives a natural appearance of the porcelain crown that may be replacing a missing front tooth
• allow for the precious preservation of the underlying jaw bone

Who can have dental implants?

Almost all adults are a good candidate for dental implants as long as they have healthy gums, a good, strong jaw bone, and a commitment to taking care of their gums and teeth. Historically, even patients over 90 have had a successful dental implant. People who may not be a good candidate, however, include pregnant women, heavy smokers, and more. A consultation will help you determine if it is a viable treatment for you.

How long will my dental implants last?

It is possible for dental implants to last decades if cared for properly. Throughout Townsville, we’ve had patients who’ve been enjoying their dental implants for years. Since dental implants are a relatively new technology, there aren’t many long-term studies but many practitioners conservatively estimate that they can last over 25 years.

Requirements for Dental Implant Treatments

The presence of an implant will initiate bone remodelling of the space and preserve the bone. The implant stimulates the bone back into production, where once it lay dormant and for some people there is insufficient bone for implant placement. If you leave the space too long, there may be insufficient bone to place an implant. In this instance, augmentation procedures will be required prior to, or during implant placement.

Alternatively, at our practice there is a high demand for implant-supported overdentures. Long-standing denture wearers have difficulty in stabilising the lower denture due to often severe bone resorption. Placing up to five (5) implants in the lower jaw can fully retain and support an immovable lower overdenture.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risk. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

What About Full Arch Dental Implants?

We are pleased to offer full arch dental implants. This approach typically uses four or more dental implants placed in the jaw to support a fixed full arch denture, providing an alternative to removable dentures. Where traditional implants are replacements of single teeth, full arch dental implants is fast becoming a popular treatment for those who have experienced significant tooth decay and are missing multiple or full sets of teeth. The treatment is delivered in a short timeframe and may also be used for those who are not able to have traditional implant treatments. For more information on the full arch dental implants treatment, get in touch with our clinic today. We can walk you through the process of full arch dental implants and help you determine which implants may be most appropriate for your concerns.
