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.
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.
With many existing patients from Eltham Dental Clinic having had this procedure in the past, the results are extremely promising. 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.
