Dr Mario and the team at Pitt Street Dental Centre look after Sydney CBD patients exploring tooth replacement options, from single missing teeth through to full arch solutions. Implants are one of the most popular choices, largely because they look natural and feel like part of your own bite.
Why Implants Feel So Natural
An implant is essentially a small titanium or zirconia post that integrates with the jawbone, replacing the root of a missing tooth. A custom crown is then attached on top.
Stable, Fixed Function
Because the implant is anchored in bone, it does not move when you bite or chew. This stability is the main reason patients describe implants as feeling closer to natural teeth than other replacement options. For those interested in a metal-free option, zirconia implants are also available.
A Natural Look And Feel
The crown is shaped, shaded, and positioned to match the surrounding teeth, so the result blends in naturally with the rest of your smile.
A Comfortable Process
For patients who feel anxious about treatment, sedation dentistry is available to make implant appointments more comfortable.
Implants Compared To Dentures
Both are valid ways to replace missing teeth, and the right choice depends on your circumstances.
Implants
Implants are fixed in place, support healthy bone over time, and function very much like natural teeth. For patients missing multiple teeth, options such as All-on-4 or, in more complex cases, zygomatic and pterygoid implants may also be considered.
Dentures
Dentures remain a reliable, more affordable option, particularly for patients who are not suitable for surgery or who prefer a removable solution.
