What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are tiny posts that are implanted into the jawbone. Implants are secured as the bone naturally heals around them; a process called osseointegration. Once healed, a prosthesis such as a dental crown, bridge or dentures are secured onto the implant to act as your new tooth or teeth. Dental implants are preferred by Melbourne patients to replace teeth because they look, feel, and function like your own, natural teeth.

The Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants are versatile and have multiple uses. A thorough dental exam will help the dentist determine the best implant scenario for your needs and goals.
Our experienced dentists will ensure you get the care that you deserve during the entire dental implant process.
The following are the types of implants we offer:
Single implants
Multiple Implants
are used to replace multiple missing teeth. These can be in a series or scattered about, wherever teeth are missing.
With the use of 3D x-rays and scans, your dentist will determine the best location to place your implants and what type of prosthesis will be secured to the implant.
Implant bridges
use multiple implants that are strategically placed throughout the mouth where teeth are missing.
Once the implants are surgically placed, a dental bridge will be secured onto them to replace a series of missing teeth. They can also be used to place entire rows or teeth, also known as implant-supported dentures.
Immediate implants
ALL-ON-4
is a dental solution to replace teeth in patients who are missing a majority or all of their teeth. With All-on-4, four dental implants are placed strategically in the mouth and will support either a bridge or dentures.
Even if you need 12 teeth replaced, only four implants are needed, thus saving you money and the hassle of a mouthful of implants or traditional dentures.

However, there are some situations where dental implants may not be the right solution or the patient may require treatment before the implants, such as:
Previously failed dental implants
Some situations such as gum disease and excessive plaque on existing teeth will be addressed before receiving implants. In some cases, a jawbone can be built up in certain areas so it can support a dental implant. If you are taking certain medications, an exam with your health history will be considered and all options will be discussed with you. In any case, a comprehensive dental examination will help us determine the best treatment path for you.
