Dental implants are posts made of titanium, surgically positioned into the bone to support a crown or a bridge. Dental implants look close to natural teeth and over time, integrate to your natural jawbone. An artificial tooth or crown is attached to the implant to fill the gap left by the missing tooth.
Dental implants Melbourne are a natural looking option as the crown is made to blend in with your other teeth in colour and size.
As advancements are made in dental technology, dental implants Melbourne become more and more sophisticated. Dental implants in Melbourne are able to be inserted into place with unprecedented precision thanks to digital dental implants.
Digital dental implants (also called digital navigation implant surgery) uses state-of-the-art 3D technology. A computer creates a model of your jawbone to provide highly accurate implant design and placement. This decreases the time you have to spend in surgery, reduces the risk of infection, and gives you a speedier recovery!
The dentist will ascertain your suitability and discuss the procedure at length and answer any questions you have. You will then be provided with a treatment plan including a quote and an information booklet. X-rays and scans will also need to be taken to know the placement of the implant.
You will have minor surgery where the dental implant(s) will be put into your jawbone. Patients will then have a healing period of 8-12 weeks while the bone grows around the implant.
Impressions of the healed implant are then taken and the shade for the new crown or bridge will be ascertained to that of your natural surrounding teeth.
Your new tooth or teeth are inserted and screwed into the foundation.
The price of dental implants depends whether you are covered by private health insurance or not. Get in contact with us today to get a quote.
