Dental implants – fitting

When the day finally arrives and it’s time to get your new teeth at High Dental Implants Melbourne, we’re confident that you will feel well prepared. Most of what makes our patients feel comfortable is our communication. We make sure that you know what will happen during your procedure, how you will feel and how long it will take.

Are you feeling nervous?

Although it is natural to feel some nerves before any procedure, we do everything we can to make you relaxed when you arrive. If you have any last-minute queries, you can talk to us.

You will receive a local anaesthetic before we fit your first dental implant in Melbourne. This should mean that you don’t feel any difficult sensations. Occasionally, a general anaesthetic is required for more extensive work.

If you have strong dental anxiety, it need not stop you from getting the new teeth that you want. All you need to do is talk to the team at High Dental Implants Melbourne and we will tailor a plan that incorporates extra care around your needs. This might take the form of additional sedation, or it could involve adjusting the sensory experiences in the room, so they don’t trigger old anxiety.

How will fitting a dental implant in Melbourne feel?

Under the local anaesthetic, you will still be aware of some sensations in the mouth. You will hear the various sounds associated with the procedure. The light will be bright, but we can give you something to cover your eyes if this is an issue. At High Dental Implants Melbourne, we are committed to your comfort. The whole procedure takes no more than an afternoon to complete.

You can drive yourself home after having a local anaesthetic. You will need someone to accompany you if you have a general anaesthetic. In either case, it’s a good idea to have someone there for you when you have a dental implant in Melbourne. It means that no matter how you feel afterwards, you will see a friendly face and have some assistance to get home. Even a minor procedure like this can take a little toll on the body so support will feel welcome at this point.

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