What are my options for teeth restoration?

Losing teeth isn’t a catastrophic ordeal. However, it may be challenging to decide on a replacement option most suitable for you and that aligns with your budget.

High Dental Implants Melbourne has a comprehensive set of offerings for teeth replacement, offering premium prosthesis at affordable prices.

In this article, we’ll discuss the options available to you.

Single or multiple dental implants in Melbourne

What’s the difference between the two procedures? A single tooth implant replaces one knocked out tooth or fractured beyond repair pearly whites. On the other hand, a multiple teeth implant is suitable for patients with several teeth missing. An entire row of absent pearly whites can be restored using a single implant in a minimally invasive procedure.

Both options use small titanium screws inserted into your jawbone. Eventually, once it fuses with the surrounding bone tissue, the metal post will act as the artificial root of your tooth or teeth.

How is multiple implants different from standard dental implants in Melbourne?

Multiple implants offers a full-mouth restoration using four implants only. If you’ve lost all your teeth, this is an excellent option to choose if dentures aren’t on the cards for you.

Multiple implants is a cost-effective solution and minimally invasive procedure that will transform your teeth over a single dental visit. Of course, there are conditions, which our dentists will explain to you and decide whether you’re a viable candidate for this treatment.

Are dentures an option for me?

Recently, dentures have received a bad wrap for being a cumbersome and unreliable device. However, the truth of the matter is that several of our patients rely on them and are satisfied with this prosthesis – and so might you.

It takes time to get used to wearing dentures. Initially, your speech may be affected, and the device might feel strange and foreign. You will also have to adjust your cleaning regimen, using specialised brushes and cleaning agents to optimise your dental hygiene.

Once your mouth adapts, dentures could serve you well over several years.

How to stabilise my dentures

Your dentures may have been faulty or ill-fitting. If you aren’t interested in considering another device, stabilising your dentures with implants might be a viable option that aligns with your preferences.

You can now fix your denture to your jaw using implants.

When are bone grafts needed?

Wearing dentures or failing to replace your natural teeth once they fall out can result in bone loss, which doesn’t just prompt further tooth loss, but can result in your jaw collapsing, changing your facial structure entirely.

Bone grafts help to rejuvenate bone while making implant treatment a possibility.

I’m an anxious person, how can you help me settle my nerves?

We understand how major a procedure dental implants might seem- we offer IV and inhalation sedation to keep you relaxed yet alert during the procedure.

Will I feel pain or discomfort?

A local anaesthetic is used to block pain, but you might still experience discomfort, which is entirely manageable.

During recovery, you might feel further discomfort, but this tenderness will disappear naturally.

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to

ensure that the treatment is right for you.
