Are dental implants suitable for you?

To find out if dental implants Melbourne is suitable for you, you need to speak to us at High dental implants Melbourne and undergo a thorough examination of your tooth and gums. We will begin by making sure that there are no underlying issues which may have occurred as a result of tooth loss. We will assess the health of your gums and we will also take x-rays and assess the quality and quantity of your jawbone. We will be able to find out if there is sufficient jawbone for the implant to be inserted into and this will also tell us which size implant will be best for you.

Bone grafting

Often these results may show that you are not eligible for dental implants in which case you can find out about other tooth replacement options. If it is simply a matter of  inadequate jawbone then we can speak to you about bone grafting here at High Dental Implants Melbourne. Bone grafting works by taking healthy bone from a different part of your body and using it to fill the jaw. This means that successful dental implant surgery can be carried out to replace your missing tooth. Bone grafting may be carried out a few weeks before the surgery or depending on the extent of grafting necessary if it is a small amount then it can be done at the time of the implant surgery.

Dental implants – the procedure

The implant itself can take from three to six months to integrate into your mouth. Dental implants Melbourne are made of titanium which is a non corrosive biocompatible metal and causes the formation of osteoblasts which build themselves around the implant locking the implant securely into place. During this time you will undergo regular check-ups to make sure the process is coming along successfully and the implant is healing. Once we are sure that the healing process is complete we will expose the head of the implant by cutting open the gum and attach an abutment or a connector post to which your choice of prosthetic, such as a crown or set of dentures, will be fixed so that you have a strong and a permanent replacement for your missing tooth. If you have multiple teeth that need replacing then remember that we will always use the minimum number of implants to replace the maximum number of teeth. You will not  need a separate implant for each missing tooth.

Over the last few decades dental implants have become the most popular choice of tooth replacement so contact us at High Dental Implants Melbourne today and find out how dental implants Melbourne and dental implant surgery can help replace your missing teeth.
