High Quality Dental Implants in Melbourne

Dental and Tooth Implant in Melbourne

When you experience tooth loss due to diseases, trauma or decay, the root of your original tooth will also become infected and bone resorption can occur, leaving you with a gap between your remaining teeth. Dental implants basically function as an artificial tooth root that replaces the original root. And once a tooth implant has been surgically placed into your jawbone, it will provide maximum support for crowns or bridges.

What is involved in a dental or tooth implant treatment?

There are 3 main parts that make up a tooth implant.

Steps and Procedures for Tooth implant in Melbourne

• Before getting ahead with the dental implant treatment, you will first receive a consultation from our tooth implant specialists who will run a couple of in-depth exams to see get a better picture of your jawbone and structures including nerves and sinuses. Then an appropriate course of action will be determined so that you can get the best results for your tooth implant treatment.
• The first surgery will then be conducted to place the dental implant(s) into your jawbone. Then, your oral or dental surgeon will usually wait for 2-4 months before proceeding with the next procedure.
• X-rays will be done by your oral surgeon to ensure that the implants have fused with the bones. Then, an abutment (collar) will be placed on the tooth implant for approximately 7 -14 days to allow your gums to further heal correctly.
• Then, the stitches and abutment removed so that you can make a final tooth/teeth impression(s) that will be used to make your crown (tooth).
• After that, an abutment will once again be placed on the implant and a temporary crown (tooth) will be placed on it. Depending on your situation, the temporary tooth might be directly on the implant and the abutment is placed later.
• The temporary crown (not always necessary) is softer than the eventual crown (tooth) that you will be getting, to give your gums some time to heal around it. This takes approximately 1-2 weeks.
• Finally, your permanent crown will be ready to be fixed onto your tooth implant and you will have a new set of shiny, pearly teeth. Let the world see you smile!

• Increasing the chance of heart attack by 75%
• Maximising the chance of pancreatic cancer and stroke by 63% and 50% respectively
• Minor cause for diabetes and respiratory diseases
• Sinus problems
• Gets you to the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease

Don’t sweat it! Dental implants have got you covered!

Tooth implants in Melbourne have been used for over five decades and have become a standard dental treatment to replace missing teeth. Let’s take a brief look at the importance of getting dental implants.

Improve the Overall Appearance

Dental implant preserves the bone which prevents deterioration of your facial structure. This improves your look and makes you feel better. It completely eliminates the sagging or sunken appearance of your face and allows you to maintain the natural shape of your face and smile.

Protects Jaw Bone

Loss or deterioration of your jaw bone occurs when you leave the empty space unattended after losing one or more teeth. Gradually, the jaw bone loses its strength and firmness leading to further tooth loss. Getting dental implants stimulates bone growth and protects your natural jaw bone.

Eliminates Bacterial Growth

Dental implants fill the gap left by the missing tooth and avoid bacterial accumulation that could lead to infection and gum disease.

Supports the Adjacent Teeth

Unlike tooth-supported bridges, implants will not damage the sides of the adjacent teeth in an effort to restore the missing teeth. In case of the dental implants, the implants go straight in the spot where your missing tooth root was, without impacting the adjacent healthy teeth.

In addition to these benefits, implants are long-lasting, enable you to experience the full taste of the food you eat, give full chewing power to the natural teeth and more.
