The Benefit of Teeth Implants in Melbourne
Adult tooth loss needn’t get you down. Restore your oral health and confidence with tooth implants from our South Melbourne dental clinic! Implants come with a host of advantages that rank them higher than dentures and bridges:
- Dental implants are more affordable than you may think: we can perform the procedure in Melbourne for a similar cost to placing bridges
- Dental implants don’t damage adjacent teeth.
- Dental implants are stronger and provide greater biting power.
- Because the implants attach to the jawbone, there’s less chance of jaw recession and, ergo, further tooth loss.
- There’s no need to remove the teeth or learn a new dental maintenance routine. Brush and floss the crowns as you would natural teeth!
- Overall, dental implants are a more snug and comfortable fit for the mouth than dentures will ever be.

Our Procedure
Our team is highly experienced and provides superior care for patients seeking dental implants in Melbourne. Our dental surgeons will perform your procedure with the greatest care and professionalism, dividing it into two important stages.
Stage 1: Preparation and Integration
Initially, your dental surgeon will prepare a space in the jaw and place a highly durable titanium screw into the underlying structure. You will then need to allow the gum to heal and the bone to fuse with the implanted titanium. Known as osseointegration, this process can take several months, and it’s necessary for creating a base level of support and strength within the jawbone structure. This is an extremely important stage of the process; osseointegration ensures the best long-term results.
Stage 2: Attaching the Artificial Tooth
In Stage 2, our dental surgeons will attach an abutment to the screw, onto which they will secure a crown (aka an artificial tooth). They will also ensure the implant is strong enough to withstand the forces associated with biting, as well as with any other mouth functions.

Commonly Asked Questions
Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth. While some patients opt for dentures, crowns or bridges, others prefer prosthetics that get to the root of the matter. If you’ve lost one or multiple teeth down to the root, dental implants can stand in for the whole thing. The associated procedure is invasive, but it does negate all need for the cup of water by the bed.
Technically speaking, the dental implant itself is a titanium screw built to occupy the space of a tooth root. One of our dental surgeons will place the implant(s) into the jawbone while you’re under anaesthesia. Of course, you can’t place an implant without finally adding a dental crown on top. When compared with dentures, dental implants are often the preferred option because they’re more permanent and have better biting power. You’ll neither have to take them out at night nor worry about issues as minor as dislodgement and major as jaw recession.
Our Melbourne dentists will ensure that you do not feel anything during the tooth implantprocedure.In fact, most of our patients find the healing process to be very fast. If you feel any discomfort once the anaesthetic has worn off, this can be controlled by using approved over-the-counter painkillers.
- 1 implant can be used to restore 1-2 teeth
- 2 implants can be used to restore 4 teeth
- 4 implants can be used to restore a whole arch
