However, what do people want to know about having dental implants Melbourne fitted? We took to the internet and answered the most commonly searched queries relating to oral implants here.
How much do oral implants cost?
Starting with the most obvious, this is a tricky question to answer.
There are many factors that go into fitting dental implants Melbourne, with the most common ones being how many are being fitted, the type of implant being fitted, and the location of the implants.
Therefore, it is very hard to answer this question here! To get a more precise answer, our team will need to see you in our surgery to discuss your clinical needs, and we can also discuss payment plans and financing options, too, so you won’t be paying completely out of pocket.
Are oral implants painful?
This is another tricky one to answer, as thresholds for discomfort vary from person to person.
Most people report minimal pain or discomfort during an oral implant procedure. Local anaesthesia is typically used to numb the area being treated, so the patient should not feel any pain during the surgery. After the procedure, some discomfort and swelling can be expected, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications or prescription medications prescribed by our team.
How long does it take to have oral implants fitted?
The fitting of the implants themselves takes up to an hour per implant, so if you are having multiple implants fitted, we may decide to spread the treatment out over several appointments.
But, in between the fitting and the attaching of the prosthetics, the implants need to fuse, which can take anywhere from 3 to 9 months. If, after 12 months, we find that your implants are not fusing, we will need to remove them and look into another restorative option.
What are the benefits of oral implants?
There are so many that it would be difficult to list them all here! A few of the most notable ones include that they are secure, they look natural, and they restore bite strength. But, of course, they also help with speech, chewing and preventing orthodontic misalignments too.
How long do they last?
With correct aftercare, which is as simple as caring for natural teeth, oral implants can last between 10 to 20 years. If you notice that your implant is loose, please call our team for an immediate assessment.
