Dental implants Melbourne: it’s what we do at High Dental Implants Melbourne!

If you want to smile like you mean it, you may feel that replacing your missing teeth is the way forward – and you’re not wrong. Replacing missing teeth has many health benefits. At High Dental Implants, Melbourne, we love treating patients who need dental implants Melbourne because, by having this treatment, they are protecting their remaining natural teeth, as well as their gums, from over-exposure to bacteria. What’s more, patients who have missing teeth can develop issues with their speech, get jaw pain, or a shrunken face that makes them look aged. By replacing missing teeth, these issues should be rectified and this is a great reason to get treatment – who doesn’t want to look younger?!

What are dental implants?

Dental implants Melbourne are metal screws that are attached to the jawbone, where you have missing teeth. These screws are designed to act like artificial roots for your teeth, so that once they have fused with the body’s tissues, then they will be firmly fixed in place and won’t go anywhere. Our implant dentist is then able to attach replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on how many teeth you need to have replaced. Once fitted, they won’t need to be taken out at bedtime or for cleaning; they are in your mouth to stay, just like natural teeth.

Are there any other reasons I should consider dental implants?

Aside from the fact that dental implants Melbourne protect your mouth from developing further oral health issues, they look completely natural too. Nobody will realise that you don’t have a full set of natural teeth. Replacement teeth are manufactured to complement each other, as well as any remaining teeth that you have. The resulting smile should be one you want to show off again and again.

To look after your dental implants, you won’t need to do anything complicated; all you need to do is brush and floss regularly, and come to see us for your routine dental check-ups. If you do this, your dental implants could last you a lifetime. What’s more, getting same day teeth is pretty neat, in our opinion too. When you come and see us for your first appointment after deciding to get dental implants, we will fit the screws for you. This doesn’t require major surgery and no general anaesthetic is required. You will have local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel anything, and once we’ve fitted the screws we will attach temporary replacement teeth to them, so that your body can heal. You will then come to us for a second appointment, where we will fit your permanent replacement teeth.

Once you have your dental implants, you will be able to carry on life as normal. You can eat whatever you like; you won’t have to avoid hard or chewy foods, and you won’t have to worry about them loosening when you talk.
