Dental implants replace your tooth and root for excellent function and aesthetics.

Dental Implants Restore Your Smile and Chewing Function

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect far more than just your smile. They can impact your ability to eat comfortably and even the structure of your jawbone over time.

At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, Dr Legin offers comprehensive dental implant services to help restore your smile and oral function with a solution that looks, feels and works just like natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. The implant is a biocompatible titanium post that we place in your jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has integrated with your bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown is attached to complete your restoration. The result is a permanent, stable tooth replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.

Dr Legin has extensive experience in both placing and restoring dental implants so that you can receive comprehensive care right here in Nundah without the need for multiple specialists.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth-replacement options such as bridges and dentures.

Protects Adjacent Teeth

Unlike bridges, implants don't require grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth for support.

Preserves Jawbone Health

The implant stimulates your jawbone just like a natural tooth root, preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.

Better Eating and Speaking

With the stability of implants, you can eat your favourite foods and speak with confidence.

Natural Look

We design your implant crown to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and function, so it blends seamlessly with your smile.

Long-Term Solution

Dental implants can potentially last for decades or even a lifetime with proper home care and routine check-ups.

Easy Maintenance

Care for your implants just like natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups

Frequently Asked Questions

Do dental implants require any special care?

One of the greatest benefits of dental implants is that they don't require any special care beyond what you should already be doing for your natural teeth. Dr Legin always emphasises that maintaining your implants is straightforward and fits easily into your existing oral hygiene routine.

Daily Dental Implant Care

Care for your dental implants just as you would your natural teeth. Brush your teeth two times a day with a soft-bristled brush, using toothpaste containing fluoride, paying close attention to the gum line where the gum tissue meets your implant. Floss once a day to remove food debris and plaque build-up from between your teeth and around the implant. Some patients find interdental brushes or water flossers helpful for cleaning around their implants.

Regular Dental Visits

Attending regular check-ups and professional cleans at our Nundah dental practice is essential for the long-term success of your dental implants. During these visits, Dr Legin and our hygiene team will monitor your implant health, check for any signs of inflammation and remove any plaque or tartar build-up that you can't address at home.

Lifestyle Considerations

Avoid smoking, as it can compromise implant success and overall oral health. If you grind your teeth, Dr Legin may recommend a night guard to protect your implants from excessive force.

The Bottom Line

With proper daily hygiene and regular professional care, your dental implants can last for decades. The investment you make in maintaining them is minimal compared to the lasting benefits they provide to your smile and quality of life.

What to Expect

Your tooth replacement journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Nundah dental practice. Dr Legin will assess your oral health, take necessary imaging and discuss your treatment options. We typically perform the implant placement procedure under local anaesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort during recovery.

After placement, a healing period of several months allows the implant to fuse with your jawbone. Once healing is complete, Dr Legin will attach your custom-made crown, completing your restoration.

Most people with good general and oral health are suitable candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, Dr Legin will evaluate factors such as bone density, gum health and any medical conditions that might affect treatment.

Restore Your Smile

Don't let missing teeth hold you back. At Nundah General & Emergency Dental, Dr Legin and our caring team are committed to helping you achieve a healthy, complete smile with dental implants in Nundah.
