What are Implants?

If you are looking to replace a missing tooth or teeth, the option that will look and feel most natural is the dental Implant. An Implant is a titanium post that is positioned into your jawbone below the gum, then a crown, bridge or denture can be screwed on and supported by this. Dental Implants are designed to mimic the look and function of natural teeth, which can be an attractive alternative to dentures or bridges.

Advantages for Dental Implants

Common advantages of having dental implants are:
  • Help withstand greater bite pressures with dentures
  • Prevent bone loss in the jaw
  • Prevent appearance of hollow or collapsed cheeks and lips (missing teeth causes the bone to recess)
  • Greater Comfort and Self-Confidence
  • Improvement in Speech
  • Improved Ability to Chew Food Naturally
  • Most like natural teeth, and require the same cleaning as natural teeth- flossing and brushing

Dental Implant FAQ

    When is it appropriate to have dental implants?

        Dental Implants are used to replace Missing or un-restorable teeth without affecting any of your other teeth. Dental implants look and feel like your own natural teeth, and can also be used to attach bridges or dentures. Please call our qualified staff if you have any other questions if you are looking at restoring your smile.

    How long will it take to fit dental implants?

        This can largely depend on the amount of bone present and the time it takes for the integration of the titanium post. From having the titanium post surgically placed to being integrated and healed usually takes about 8 weeks, from there the restoration with a crown or bridge will take a further 2 weeks. If a denture is placed it will take a little longer. Each case for Dental Implants can vary and it is always best to speak with a qualified Dentist about any concerns. Our team here at the Eltham Dental Clinic are happy to answer any further questions you may have and inform you on all the steps required with this treatment.

    How long do dental implants last?

Most of our patients have had their dental implants for more than a decade, and with regular cleaning and check-ups — along with good oral hygiene — your dental implants could very well last you a lifetime.

Are Dental Implants visibly noticeable when you smile?

No not at all, Dental Implants are inserted below the gum line shown in the below photo. The replacement teeth are anchored onto the implants, these are made from porcelain, which looks as natural as your very own teeth.
