Dental implants can be a great option for replacement of teeth
Sunshine Coast Patients who are missing one or more teeth or those with unstable or loose dentures could benefit from dental implants.
Modern dental implants, predominantly made from titanium have a history dating back to the 1970s. However, the idea of titanium dental implants was found by accident! Professor Brånemark (an orthopaedic surgeon from Sweden) had inserted titanium cylinders into rabbit bones during research and as they were expensive, tried to remove them, however, they were stuck fast!
Over the last 50 years extensive advances have been made in dental implant technology; bone grafting materials and surgical techniques to greatly improve the success of dental implants and shorten the time before they can be loaded (used for chewing).
