Facts you may not know about having a dental implant fitted

Have you read online that anyone is suitable to have oral implants fitted? Or perhaps you have read that the result does not look as good as it is depicted in magazines?

Unless you have had this procedure done (or you are well trained in the fitting of this procedure as our team at High Dental Implants Melbourne is) it is unlikely that you will know a great deal about oral implants. And, unfortunately, the internet is not always a great source of information when it comes to most cosmetic dental care; it may put you off when you would be a suitable candidate for the procedure!

Our team at High Dental Implants Melbourne has been fitting oral implants for over many years, and if you want to have an experienced and compassionate team fit your dental implant Melbourne, then we are the team for you!

In this article, we will explore some of the top facts about having a dental implant Melbourne fitted that you may not be aware of. So read on to learn more.

They are a significant investment

You have probably read online about the costs that surround the fitting of a dental implant Melbourne. And it is true that if you undertake this procedure, it will be a significant investment in your smile, health and self-esteem.

But don’t be deterred by the price! At High Dental Implants Melbourne, we can offer suitable patients 0% financing options so that the cost of this treatment can be spread out.

You may not be suitable

It is an unfortunate reality that not everybody is suitable to have oral implants fitted.

To start with, you must be over the age of 18, and you need to be assessed by our team to ensure that you have enough healthy jawbone to support an oral implant. We will also inquire as to your physical health as there are many health conditions, such as osteoporosis, or medications, such as immunosuppressants, that can complicate the fitting and healing process that surrounds an oral implant.

For more information on suitability, please contact our team.

Health issues can complicate the fitting

As we briefly mentioned earlier, there are a myriad of health conditions that can complicate the fitting of an oral implant. If you suffer from osteoporosis, for example, our team will need to establish that your jawbone is healthy enough to support the implants that will be fitted. We will also need to inquire about any treatment that you are undertaking to manage osteoporosis.

But, as before, if you are uncertain about your health issues impacting your oral implants, please contact our team.

Maintenance is key

Once the implants are fitted, you will need to maintain your oral implants with daily brushing, flossing and biannual checkups with our team.

Failure to adhere to the maintenance required can result in gum disease, which will negatively impact the oral implants. So brush them as you would your natural teeth.

They look great!

Any prosthetics that we make at High Dental Implants Melbourne will be designed to blend in seamlessly with any surrounding natural teeth you may have, resulting in a natural and great-looking smile.
