High Dental Implants Melbourne for multiple missing teeth

Are you currently enduring a set of dentures that are stopping you from living your life to the fullest? Are you concerned about eating in public or laughing too hard for fear of them falling out? That is no way to continue your life and we at High Dental Implants Melbourne want to help give you a set of teeth that you can feel more confident about, no matter how active your lifestyle is, because we want to help our patients not only when they are in our dental chairs but when they leave our practice as well by ensuring that they have the best oral health possible.

The risks of missing a few teeth

Even though you may have a set of dentures which help you bite into and chew food with a good deal of efficacy, you may not realize that the problem with missing a few teeth runs much deeper than simply not being able to chew whole foods. The jaw bone is the only bone in our body that is able to change its structure, and in your case, this means that missing a few teeth could be problematic for your face shape.

While you may be aware that the jaw bone holds our teeth in place, you may be surprised to find that your teeth do the same thing for the jaw bone. While teeth are still in their sockets, the jaw is able to fuse to them as it holds these in place, but when the teeth are no longer there, this bone begins to waste away as it no longer has anything to hold onto, therefore, it no longer has any reason to be there. Once this starts to happen your face shape will begin to change and as sunken cheeks become more prominent, the more likely you are to look aged. Happily though, with High Dental Implants Melbourne, we can reverse this process and give your bone something to cling to once more.

What do tooth implants do?

Multiple teeth implants are not only capable of supporting a row of permanent and fixed false teeth but the use of titanium in the jaw helps encourage long term bone growth to help sustain your health and appearance for longer and even rejuvenate what you may have lost.

How does it work?

Dental surgery is required to place two or more implants into the jaw bone and this can take up to 4 hours – should you be nervous about dental surgery we offer an option for sedation so that you can sleep while we work. A titanium screw is implanted into the jaw bone and then the gum is stitched up and you are sent home with a temporary denture to wait for the healing process to be complete. Over the months, following surgery, your bone will naturally grow and fuse to the implant making it strong enough for us to attach a permanent denture to. With High Dental Implants Melbourne you can experience all the benefits of having a fixed set of teeth which means you can eat the foods you used to enjoy and laugh and smile with confidence knowing your teeth will not fall out.
