Nothing is as good as natural, healthy teeth, but dental implants come remarkably close. We undersand how missing teeth can impact your daily life, from making eating difficult to leaving you feeling self-conscious when talking or smiling. If you’ve been living with these challenges, we're here to listen and provide the solutions that will help you smile confidently again.
As a leading dental pratice in Footscray, we've helped countless patients reclaim their smiles after tooth loss due to injury, dental disease, or natural aging. We provide a full range of dental implant services in Melbourne, from single-tooth implants, multiple tooth-implants to full arch restorations.
Natural look & feel
Dental implants offer one of the best solutions for missing teeth that most closely mimics the look and function of natural teeth while providing greater comfort than alternatives like dentures.
Prevents bone loss
Dental implants may help prevent the loss of bone density that occurs after you lose a tooth as the body “recognises” that bone is required to support the implant.
Protects adjacent teeth
One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is that they allow each tooth to stand alone, without disrupting neighbouring healthy teeth with invasive procedures.
Improved function and speech
With a full set of teeth, you will experience better comfort and greater confidence whilst speaking and eating.
Fixed, long-term solution
When taken care of well, dental implants can last decades and can function similarly to a natural tooth.
Frequently Asked QuestionsOur dentists will discuss with you your specific treatment goals and determine whether dental implants is a suitable option. A 3D x-ray (CBCT) will then be taken to develop a customised treatment plan for you.
Multiple appointments may be required over the a period of 3 months to complete the surgical placement of the implant screw into the bone. Preparatory procedures (e.g. damaged tooth removal, bone grafting, or sinus lifting) may be necessary to provide a solid foundation for the implant.
After the implant is placed, a healing period is required to allow the implant to fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration. During this time, the bone grows around the implant, providing a solid base for your new artificial tooth.
Once the implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is placed on top of the implant screw. A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture will then be attached to match your natural teeth.
Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are essential to increase the longevity of your implants. Our team will provide you with personalised care instructions to help prevent complications and ensure long-term success.
