Dental implants Melbourne to restore your teeth after tooth loss

Good dental hygiene is very important for good health and wellbeing. It is important that you brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss twice a day, and use a good mouthwash to keep your teeth clean and your mouth free of food particles, bacteria, plaque and tartar. It is also important that you avoid poor lifestyle choices such as smoking and excessive drinking, and that you maintain a healthy lifestyle instead with good food and drink choices that promote better health and wellbeing and do not cause damage to your teeth or gums. Finally it is important that you visit your dentist regularly, at least once every six months so that they know if there are any issues with your teeth. You will not be able to identify early signs of cavities or decay or even gum disease unless you are suffering from symptoms. An experienced dentist will notice warning signs straight away and can put together a treatment plan for you. Often if detected early on, tooth decay and gum disease can be treated with excellent dental hygiene practices. If you do not have a good dental hygiene routine and at the same time you avoid the dentist, then it is likely that plaque and tartar will cause irreversible damage to your teeth and result in tooth loss.

Dental implants

Tooth loss needs to be addressed immediately to prevent further complications. If you have missing teeth then you need to speak to us at High Dental Implants Melbourne and find out about dental implants as a permanent solution for your missing teeth. Dental implants Melbourne are small titanium screws that are inserted directly into your jaw to act as a root for a crown or a set of dentures and hold it securely in place. Once in place, dental implants Melbourne can last for the rest of your life. Even the very first dental implant surgery in a human patient lasted for 40 years, or until the patient’s death and since then there has been much development and now dental implants Melbourne have a success rate of over 95%.

Dental implant surgery

Here at High Dental Implants Melbourne we can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or all of your teeth. We will carry out an assessment of your mouth as well as X-rays to help us put together a surgical treatment plan. This will tell us how many implants we need, the width of the implants, the length of the implants and how they will need to be inserted into the jaw, as well as what position, for optimal results. Dental implants are available in all shapes and sizes so we will put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. The surgery itself can take between 1 to 3 hours depending on how many teeth you are replacing. For a patient who needs to replace all of their teeth you can have same day temporary dentures to help restore at least some of the function of your mouth until you have your permanent dentures. Speak to us at High Dental Implants Melbourne today to find out more.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
