FILL IN THE GAPS

McDonald Dental in Gympie provides dental implants to replace individual teeth, sections of teeth or stabilise existing dentures. We can recommend the right path forward for you to get the implants you need.

Implants replace missing or extracted teeth. When you have gaps to fill, implants provide the same function as your natural teeth while blending in with the colour and shape of your remaining teeth. They look great and will help you eat, drink, speak and smile as usual.

Regain the use of your teeth with professional dental implants. It’s a simple process that’s useful for many different patients with varying degrees of tooth loss. Implants replace the root of a missing tooth, integrating directly to your jaw and gums. On top of the new implanted root is a natural-looking crown that functions exactly like your other teeth.

Consult with Dr. McDonald if you require dental implants.

IMPLANT TREATMENT

There are only two steps to the implant process. Once you’ve met with our team for a consultation, you’ll be able to get started with implantation. Implants are made from top quality titanium which are surgically inserted into the jawbone and allowed time to heal and fuse. That simulates the root of a natural tooth.

The second step is simple. After the implant itself has had the time to heal, your dentist will attach the artificial tooth, crown or denture to it. You’ll be able to leave the office that day with full use of your teeth again.

Because implants are similar to natural teeth, they require the same care as your other teeth. You should brush and floss twice daily to maintain your implants for longer.

Dr. McDonald is happy to go over the appropriate steps you can take to maintain your implants for years to come.

RESTORATIVE IMPLANTS

If an implant was placed by another surgery or specialist, we can assist with the last step, the restoration stage, by completing the crown to fit on top of the existing implant.

Whether implants are for tooth replacement, denture support or bridge support, it’s a life-changing decision. Consult with the professionals at McDonald Dental to see if dental implants are appropriate for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS GETTING A DENTAL IMPLANT PAINFUL?

Since dentists place implants surgically, you’ll need pain management during the operation. While you’re healing, you may require additional pain management for a short time after the procedure.
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS PERMANENT?

Yes. Dental implants are fixed into your jawbone to simulate the roots of natural teeth. They are fixed in place and not removable.
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS DIFFERENT THAN DENTURES?

Yes. While implants are permanently fixed to your jawbone, dentures are removable and are not worn 24 hours a day.
HOW MUCH DO IMPLANTS COST?

The cost of implants directly relates to the complexity of what you need. More complex surgeries requiring sedation, anaesthetic or other additions will be costlier than straightforward procedures.
HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Dental implants should be taken care of just like regular teeth. We recommend you brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and coming for regular check-ups.
