Gaps in your smile from lost teeth? Replace them with dental implants Melbourne!

You don’t have to be one of the Australian adult statistics who has lost teeth and not replaced them because relief is available. If you have lost a tooth and fail to do something about it, the teeth closest to the gap will move and try to fill it. If you don’t have it seen, you may start to lose more teeth. We at High Dental Implants have been helping people just like you to smile confidently using dental implants Melbourne.

Simple principle

Nature often provides the best solution to our problems, and for lost teeth, nature has given the dental industry the answer. The principle is simple: your teeth are held firmly in place in your jawbone by a root, and you chew by exerting pressure between your upper and lower teeth. Our implant dentist can mimic how your natural teeth work by inserting an artificial root into your jawbone and then fixing a crown to the top. The principle is simple, but the process is more complex. Our implant dentist can also perform a same-day teeth procedure. If you have dentures that are not stable, our implant dentist can insert four implants to provide a stable base for your dentures; this will also allow you to remove your dentures for cleaning.

Am I eligible?

The strides made in dentistry coupled with the progress made in technology have made dental implants Melbourne accessible to more patients over the past few decades. We avoid using dental implants on youngsters because their jaws are still growing. From 19 to around 85 years of age is not a barrier. The factors that can count against a patient are poor oral health. Oral hygiene helps keep teeth and gums healthy, and if regular oral healthcare is not maintained, that patient is not considered a good candidate. If you smoke or chew tobacco, you will not be considered a good risk for a dental implant; this is based on the fact that tobacco is not good for your health and you could be a poor surgical risk. Add to this that tobacco can cause degradation of your mouth, and the healing process could be compromised.

Overall health

Determining how healthy you are is vital, and certain illnesses and diseases may render you ineligible for dental implants Melbourne. Diabetes, Parkinson’s, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, or systemic or other bone deterioration diseases could reduce your chances of using an implant. If you are suffering from a psychological condition, it may not be a good idea to have an implant. Part of our examination involves thoroughly delving into your medical history because patient well-being is a high priority.

Bone density

For many years, poor bone density resulted in many patients being refused implants. The research and development that have been put into bone augmentation has been instrumental in many patients becoming eligible today. By performing a bone graft, our implant dentist will be able to improve the density of your jawbone.

Initial examination

Your overall health is our priority, and it is only after a thorough examination and assessment that we can discuss your options. Our approach is to always be candid with patients and offer the best treatment we can for a particular patient.
