It’s time to talk about dental implants Melbourne

So, you have missing teeth and you do not know what to do about it. You’ve been dreading the thought of having removable teeth as it just reminds you of your granny and her dentures that used to slip out when she laughed. Thankfully, modern dentistry has come a long way since granny’s day and at High Dental Implants Melbourne, we have a solution to replace your teeth that is reliable: dental implants Melbourne. You don’t need to continue to worry about having missing teeth or suffer with any of the side effects such as speech impairment, shrunken face or jaw pain. By replacing your missing teeth, these issues should be rectified.

Dental implants: what they are

Dental implants Melbourne are metal screws that are attached to the jawbone, where you have missing teeth. We then attach replacement teeth to the screws so that you have a full set of teeth again that are firmly fixed in place. The body’s tissues fuse around the screws, which is why we can be confident that they won’t be going anywhere. The replacement teeth will be either crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on how many you need to replace. While you could have these replacement teeth without the implants, they may not be as securely fitted and will need to be removed when you go to bed.

Why should I get dental implants?

Dental implants Melbourne should give you the peace of mind that your replacement teeth will function like your natural teeth. This means that once they are fitted, you will be able to forget about the fact they aren’t ‘real’ teeth; this is because you won’t need to avoid eating any particular foods, such as hard or chewy toffee! What’s more, you can easily take care of them, as you would your natural teeth, by brushing and flossing regularly. You should also pop in for your routine dental check-ups to ensure that your dental implants last you a very long time! In fact, your dental implants could even last a lifetime – there’s incentive to brush for 2 minutes, twice daily!

Another benefit of choosing implants is the fact that you could look younger! If you have developed a shrunken face, implants will give your face its structure back. As such, you could find that your skin appears smoother and more fresh. You may also improve your speech if you’d had issues with it due to missing teeth and, if you have had jaw pain, that should also ease.
