Dental Implants
More patients are considering dental implants in Potts Point because of the many health and cosmetic benefits they offer. They provide a realistic option for replacing missing teeth.
They can can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or an entire row of teeth. At Bay Dental Studio, we carry quality brands like Straumann, Nobel Biocare and 3i-Zimmer Biomet because we know these brands deliver quality for our patients.
Why Should I Consider Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most advanced treatment for missing teeth available for patients. Dr Yee uses high-tech scans and x-rays to examine your teeth, jaw, and bone structure to ensure the perfect implant for you.
Jawbone loss after losing a tooth or teeth can reshape your face. It might lead to changes such as:
sagging skin
collapsed cheeks
sunken appearance
bite misalignment
Facial changes are usually most noticeable if you’re missing many teeth.
This procedure may help prevent these changes by helping keep the structural integrity of your jaw and preventing bone loss.

What is a Dental Implant?
There are three distinctive parts in a dental implant:
- the body (or post), made of titanium, a biocompatible, lightweight but highly durable material,
- the abutment, which connects the body (or post) to the crown, usually also made of titanium, and
- the crown, made of porcelain to match the colour of the rest of your teeth.
They can be treated just like your natural teeth. You can chew, brush, and floss like normal, and the implants provide adequate biting pressure to maintain bone density in your jaw.
They can also restore a missing tooth and prevent nearby teeth from shifting which can cause accelerated tooth decay of adjacent teeth.

What Do You Need To Do To Get Dental Implants?
Your bone and gums must be in good health for you to be eligible to get dental implants at Bay Dental Studio. If you have gum disease or low bone density, you may not be a candidate for dental implants. You cannot use tobacco or smoke, or you must be willing to give up tobacco and smoking, to ensure your surgery is successful.
You may need additional extractions first, which will be factored into our quote for your procedure. We take X-rays, and design customised models of your mouth to create a guide for your dental implants in Potts Point.
At your surgical appointment, we surgically place the biocompatible implant into your jaw. The implant will take between 3-4 months to heal, and you will return to have the top portion or crown on top of the dental implant restored.
What Are The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants look and feel just like real teeth and are often even stronger than your original teeth. Tooth implants in Potts Point are simple to care for, and with proper oral hygiene habits, they can last you a lifetime.
They are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They offer permanent, natural-looking tooth roots that fuse with your jawbone. Key benefits include:
Bone Preservation: they stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial shrinking that naturally occur with missing teeth.
Superior Functionality: They restore full bite force and chewing ability. Unlike dentures, they won’t slip or click, allowing you to eat and speak with total confidence.
Protecting Adjacent Teeth: They function as a standalone solution, meaning dentists don’t need to shave down healthy neighboring teeth as they would for a traditional bridge.
Longevity: With proper care and hygiene, titanium implants can last a lifetime. They provide support for artificial teeth like crowns and bridges.
