Replacing one or more missing teeth is a big decision, and we're here to help by explaining the differences between single-tooth dental implants in Narre Warren and all-on-x/T24. Let's discuss your options.
This blog explains single dental implants and all-on-x dental implants to help you make an informed choice for your care.
How Does a Single Dental Implant Work?
A dental implant is the only replacement option that restores the tooth and its valuable root. This offers several benefits, including protection from the bone loss that occurs when you lose a root.
Our dentists carefully place the implant into your jawbone, where it heals and integrates over time because it's biocompatible. Once fully integrated, it's ready to support your new tooth just like a root.
We restore a single implant with a customised ceramic porcelain crown designed to blend naturally into your smile. Now you have a new tooth that closely mimics your natural tooth!
If you have substantial tooth loss, you may not want to purchase one implant post for every lost tooth. In this case, we recommend all-on-x/T24.
What Is All-on-X/T24?
All-on-x dental implants is a treatment procedure where we use two to six dental implants to support a dental prosthetic, like a bridge or denture, that restores multiple teeth and even an entire arch. T24 refers to the concept that we'll replace these teeth in one day, so you'll have new teeth within 24 hours and never be without your smile.
This option ensures that patients missing multiple teeth can still enjoy all dental implants' advantages.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Your dentist will evaluate you to ensure candidacy. Considerations include bone density and sinus placement. Sometimes, we recommend pretreatments to address these concerns. We also consider your lifestyle, budget and smile goals. You learn about costs, which can vary by patient, and your candidacy at your evaluation. We also set aside time to answer any questions you might have.
