Want a More Confident Smile?

Confidence can be measured in two ways when it comes to a smile. Both the confidence to use teeth how they should be, biting, chewing, speaking and laughing, as well as confidence in a smile. Dental implants Melbourne are able to address both of these factors when it comes to improving an individual’s confidence in their smile.




This treatment ensures functionality of teeth by creating strong, long lasting and durable sites, to which realistic looking and feeling crowns or bridges are connected. ; This method, compared to dentures, also enables the jaw bone to remain strong and not be resorbed by the body. This is a natural process when the jaw bone is no longer appropriately stimulated.

By having this treatment done, patients can enjoy a stronger smile, as their remaining teeth can be secured alongside them. When an individual presents with missing teeth, it is not uncommon for remaining teeth to shift and move around. This can increase the likelihood of injury and as more of the tooth surface is exposed, there is a greater chance for decay or disease in the tooth to strike.

A completely happy smile starts with a complete set of teeth. ; So by looking at what options are available to an individual regarding their smile and what they can do to complete it, patients can enjoy having a stronger and more functional set of teeth that can potentially last them a lifetime.

How does this implant treatment really work?
A titanium rod is surgically placed where a missing tooth root once was. ; A dentist is able to precisely pinpoint this exact location with the use of digitally scanning technology.  The use of titanium is important because this material can fuse with bone,  creating a long lasting structure to which a permanent crown can be attached.

When cared for correctly, an implant can last several decades. ; This treatment has no upper age limit either, but rather focuses on the overall health of the patient to determine whether they are viable.  With an extremely high success rate, patients can be confident with their dentist’s decision to offer them this treatment.

It can take some time between the initial decision to have this procedure, to the it's completion. ; Not because treatment is lengthy but because it is prudent not to rush the healing stages.  Some individuals find that they need to have preparatory treatment before having the implant, and this will take a month or two to heal before the next stage can commence.

Dentists will not know whether to claim the treatment as a success until several months after the implant has healed. ; They can then examine the site to determine whether fusion has taken place so that the titanium rod can be judged to remain in position and hold the crown or bridge correctly.
When a tooth has been lost, people can feel that their smile is incomplete. ; It is important to make an effort to replace that missing tooth to maintain an appropriate level of oral health and so that other teeth and gums do not suffer.

Teeth can be lost for many reasons. The tooth may be dead. This happens when there is no more blood running to it, rendering it to be a non-vital tooth. A tooth can die because of injury or because of decay, and needs to be removed or else cause complications.

Teeth can also be knocked out, because of an injury or an accident. These are relatively common and quite often sports related. In fact, it is estimated that 13% to 39% of all dental injuries are sport related, so dentists work a lot with avulsed or injured teeth in individuals who otherwise have healthy, strong teeth.

Healthy individuals who do not have any underlying dental or medical concerns can benefit from replacing their teeth in a long term way by means of dental implants in Melbourne. Designed with no upper age limit in mind but rather a treatment plan that works for a broad range of different issues, many different patients can come in to replace their teeth, or stabilize their dentures, with this very successful and popular treatment plan.




How varied are the treatments? 
It can benefit people who have lost a single tooth and also works for those who have had dentures for decades. The principal point is the surgical insertion of a titanium metal rod that is placed directly into the jaw bone. This can be used for single tooth implants, multiple teeth bridges and for dentures, with a treatment known as all-on-four.

So a dentist will be able to discuss and develop a bespoke treatment plan with any of their patients who have lost a tooth, or several teeth and are looking to replace it in a long-term way. This procedure is known to last for several decades, so patients can rest assured knowing that they do not have to concern themselves with their missing tooth for a long time.

Are there any downsides to this treatment?
Currently, this treatment is known to be a cosmetic procedure and not covered on most insurance plans. It can be quite expensive, however; dentists work with their patients to come up with a finance plan that enables them to enjoy the benefits this treatment has to offer. It is important to put one’s health and well being first and those who have had this treatment are generally very satisfied with the results.

As it is a surgical procedure, albeit minor, it has to be said that complications can arise from this. Generally, these complications are related to infection at the site, or rejection of the implant, and by monitoring the situation closely both patient and dentist can be prepared for this unlikely eventuality, and work to reduce the effects.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
