Replace your missing teeth with dental implants in Melbourne

If you are missing one or several teeth, you already know that you will need to replace them in order to avoid the consequences of tooth loss. Each tooth in your mouth plays an important role in your oral function, since it determines your ability to eat and speak properly. When one or more teeth are lost, your oral health is adversely affected.

Tooth loss can be addressed in various ways, some of which are more operative than others. At High Dental Implants in Melbourne, dental implants are our treatment of choice for patients who have suffered significant tooth loss. Unlike conventional tooth replacement options, dental implants are linked to the jawbone in such a way that becoming loose over time is out of the question.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants consist of 3 parts – the implant post, the abutment, and the replacement tooth. The implant post is made of titanium and is gently placed into the jawbone. The implant post functions as a replacement tooth root and is the foundation of the implant mechanism. Dental implants are made of titanium because it is a strong and sturdy material that has the ability to fuse with the bone tissue, allowing the jawbone to integrate with the dental implants. This process creates a long-lasting and secure foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, dentures or bridges.

The advantages of a complete smile

Dental implants have many benefits compared to conventional tooth replacement options. Unlike regular dentures, dental implants do not become loose. Moreover, unlike conventional bridges that require grinding down healthy tooth enamel for support, dental implants do not affect the health and appearance of your natural teeth. A major benefit of dental implants is that they preserve bone and prevent further deterioration of the facial structure, improving your appearance and facial characteristics. Overall, dental implants in Melbourne will improve your quality of life because they allow you to eat, smile and socialise without reservations.
