The circle will come around: High Dental Implants Melbourne gets you smiling again
When you’re born, your baby self didn’t have a full set of gnashers as you popped out of your parent. In fact, if you had had a mouth full of pearly whites, it may have been a little creepy. However, as you grow, we get excited when we see a child’s first tooth grow and we also celebrate the first milk tooth that is lost (bring on the tooth fairy and the money!) But, what about when you are an adult? Once you have your adult teeth, it can be worrying when you lose one or more of these teeth as a result of poor oral hygiene, medication, illness or an accident. The causes of missing teeth can be varied, however, the treatment for this is more limited. With crowns, bridges or dentures, you can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or even a whole set of them. At High Dental Implants Melbourne, we also offer dental implants Melbourne to ensure that these replacement teeth options are firmly fixed in place.
Dental Implants – what are they?!
Dental implants are metal screws that are attached to your jawbone, where you have missing teeth. They fuse with your body’s tissues to become firmly fixed in place, a bit like artificial roots for your teeth. Once the screws are fitted, our implant dentist can attach the crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on how many teeth you are replacing. A whole set can also sometimes be attached to just 4 screws. Dental implants Melbourne are capable of bringing a complete smile to your face in just a couple of visits to see us here at High Dental Implants Melbourne.
The reasons to celebrate dental implants
While you may feel unhappy about not having natural teeth, dental implants are arguably the next best thing to having them and they could give you a reason to turn that frown upside down. Firstly, when you have your implants, nobody else should realise that you don’t have a full set of natural teeth. When you smile and say hello to friends, family, and Bob the Builder, there’s little chance they will realise your teeth aren’t natural as they are made to complement any remaining natural teeth that you have both in size, shape and colour. What’s more, they shouldn’t loosen when you speak or when you eat and drink, so you can relax in the knowledge that your teeth will stay put.
Another bonus of having dental implants is the fact that you take care of them in the same way as you would look after your natural teeth; all you need to do is brush and floss regularly, and come to see us for your routine dental checkups. If you keep up these efforts, then your implants could even last you a lifetime – and that’s something to smile about!
Anything else I need to know?
Dental implants Melbourne may not be for everyone; to find out if they are the right treatment for you, you will need to book in for an initial consultation with us and we will be able to examine your mouth carefully to determine what your treatment options are. You can also quiz us about anything you’re unsure about (we love quizzes!) and we can decide upon the right way forward together.
At High Dental Implants Melbourne, we have a team of friendly staff who can’t wait to meet you and to put a smile on your face again.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
