Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are potential candidates for dental implants in Pimpama.
The key requirements are:
- Adequate bone volume
- Healthy gums
- A commitment to good oral hygiene
Age is rarely a barrier—our oldest implant patients are well past retirement—though growth must be complete, so teenagers usually need to wait until their late teens. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can slow healing, but many patients still succeed with tailored care plans and extra follow-up.
The Dental Implant Process: What to Expect
Your journey starts with a comprehensive examination at Dental In Focus. Our implant dentists in Pimpama take digital scans and 3-D x-rays to measure bone height and locate nerves and sinuses. If bone has shrunk after tooth loss, we may suggest grafting or a shorter 'mini' implant.
Guided-surgery software then plots the precise angle and depth for placement, minimising discomfort and shortening chair time. On placement day, local anaesthetic keeps you comfortable; most people compare the sensation to a routine dental filling. Once healed, you can enjoy your new smile!
