Our Dental implants service at High Dental Implants Melbourne

What are dental implants and why would I want to have them?

Maybe this is a question that is on your mind. If you have one or more missing teeth, it may be worth finding out more about our treatment options with dental implants Melbourne here at High Dental Implants Melbourne. There are many advantages to choosing dental implants and they can allow you to have a natural looking smile that functions like your original teeth did. At our practice we also have a range of options for dental implants when replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole set.

Dental implants: what are they?

Dental implants are titanium screws that are attached to the jawbone. They are like artificial roots for your replacement teeth, because they are firmly fixed in place through the fusion of your body’s tissues to the metal. To these securely fitted screws, we can attach your replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on how many teeth you need to restore.

What are the advantages of choosing dental implants?

Dental implants Melbourne offer many benefits and they are certainly worth your consideration. The first thing to consider is the fact that as the implants are firmly fixed in place, you won’t need to worry about altering your diet. This means that you can relax and continue to dine out with friends and family without having to think about what you choose off the menu for your teeth’s sake. You can also easily maintain your implants after eating by brushing and flossing regularly – that’s all you have to do! You should also come and see us for your routine check-ups as well – what could be easier?

Another benefit of having dental implants is that you could actually help to make your face look fresher. If you have experienced a shrunken appearance in your face because of missing teeth, replacing them with dental implants Melbourne could give you the structure you need again. By replacing missing teeth, you are also protecting any remaining natural teeth you have, and your gums, from over-exposure to bacteria. If you have experienced speech difficulties or jaw pain with missing teeth, implants can also improve these issues.

How to get dental implants

The first thing you need to do is book in with us here at the surgery, to find out if dental implants are the right treatment for you during an initial consultation. We will examine your mouth and jaw thoroughly to determine what treatments are appropriate for you. We will discuss these with you and answer any questions you may have. Together, we will be able to decide which treatment would suit you and your lifestyle and if dental implants are on the cards, we can also discuss any other treatments that may be required first such as a bone graft. Sometimes, the jawbone’s density depletes when there have been missing teeth and a graft is required before we can attach the screws to it. We will be able to discuss this in depth if it is required and it is a routine operation.

So, for a complete smile, come to see us to find out if dental implants are the treatment for you!

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