Advantages of having dental implants Melbourne fitted

Do you want to conceal that gap in your smile with a long-lasting solution, but have heard that oral implants aren’t all that they are cracked up to be?

When you come to High Dental Implants Melbourne to have dental implants Melbourne, our team will work with you to help you find the most suitable restorative methods for replacing missing teeth. But we have to admit, we really like oral implants!

Below, we have listed the top advantages to having dental implants Melbourne fitted, so you can decide if they are the right treatment option for restoring your smile. Enjoy!

Look natural

Many patients worry that if they have dental implants Melbourne fitted, people could spot them when they smile.

However, this is not the case! Thanks to the art that goes into creating the crowns, bridges and dentures that sit on top of oral implants, we can match them to your surrounding teeth so that their colour, translucency and even imperfections will blend in seamlessly.

In fact, due to how realistic oral implants look, many people forget which one of their teeth is the prosthetic!

Feel natural

Another bonus is that when an oral implant is fitted, it fuses to the bone.

This helps it to feel more natural when the wearer bites into and chews food. It also helps when they clean their teeth as implants don’t need to be removed and soaked in a solution overnight. Simply brush, floss and rinse as you would with your natural teeth!

Prevent bone loss

One of the lesser-known side effects of losing teeth is bone loss.

When a tooth is removed, the surrounding jaw shrinks back since it is no longer holding anything in place, which leads to bone shrinkage and loss. This can become a bit unpredictable, even for our team, when looking to place dentures on the gums because this can cause them to move sporadically.

However, as oral implants are affixed to the jaw and made from titanium, they encourage the jaw bone to regrow. This can in turn prevent the surrounding teeth from moving out of line as the jaw shrinks, thus saving money on orthodontic treatments.

Cost-effective

Okay, so it may not seem that oral implants are cost-effective in the short term.

When you take into account the costs of having to purchase dental glues, the need to have dentures replaced and, of course, the secondary orthodontic costs that can come from losing teeth, this can get expensive quickly!

By having implants fitted with our team, you can spread the overall cost of the treatment over several months and not have to worry about needing any other treatments to compensate for missing teeth. Great!

Long-lasting

And finally, another key benefit of having implants fitted is that they are long-lasting.

With the correct aftercare and oral hygiene, that newly fitted implant and the prosthetic tooth can last you up to and over 15 years.

Remember, you have to treat implants just like your real teeth! So, be sure to visit our team biannually for checkups and ensure that you brush your teeth twice a day.
