The Chatswood Dentist offers dental implant surgery as the permanent solution to tooth loss due to the procedure's strong statistical record with patients
According to studies it has been found that dental implants have a success rate of more than 90% for the first 5-10 years. This astonishing success rate is why dental implants are favoured by dentists and patients alike when it comes to replacing natural teeth.
Dr Meng Quah-Shepherd of The Chatswood Dental Practice comments on the forever increasing popularity of the dental implant procedure:
“We are finding more and more patients are requesting dental implants instead of bridges and dentures because they are hearing from their friends that dental implants are the best solution.”
Statistics have unearthed another reason for this paradigm shift in patient desires, stating that the dental implant procedure minimises the risk of prosthetic failure, or failure from the surrounding teeth which is about 25% more common with dentures and porcelain bridges.

The success of the dental implant procedure depends on the surgical skills of the doctor
Dr Meng Quah-Shepherd at The Chatswood Dental Practice is at the top of her field in neuromuscular dentistry, sleep apnoea therapy and dental implantology. An American study has shown a correlation between the amount of time an individual dentist spent in implant training and the success of his or her dental implant surgeries. With Dr Meng Quah-Shepherd and her team you can rest assured that she has the skills, knowledge and training necessary to provide the most meticulous implant surgeries.
The anatomy of dental implants is what makes them so durable and functional
Dental implants are inserted into the jaw bone and gum, to which they fuse with over time. This is what makes dental implants the most permanent solution to missing teeth. The biocompatible titanium fixture enables a virtually seamless transition from your natural tooth to dental implant and – according to Dr Meng Quah-Shepherd:
“Most patients agree that the function of their bite and the appearance of their smile has either improved or maintained its steady quality – which means you don't have to sacrifice quality.”
