Dental Implants in Canterbury

Our dental implants are custom-designed to fill gaps left by missing or severely damaged teeth, helping to restore function and aesthetics to your smile. If your tooth is damaged beyond the point of restoration by a dental crown, we will find a suitable solution from a range of options including conventional implants, same-day crowns, immediate implants, and bone grafts.

Our treatments are designed to be efficient, with your comfort as our priority. With appropriate care and maintenance, dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for your smile.

What are dental implants used for?

Dental implants are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Generally, there are three options for replacement: a removable denture, a fixed bridge, or dental implants. Your dentist will help you find the most suitable solution for you, considering function, aesthetics, and cost.

Dental implants are widely considered a highly effective option for tooth replacement. Many patients view them as the closest option to natural teeth. Although they may have a higher initial cost than bridges or dentures, they are often more stable and durable.

It is also important to understand that when a missing tooth is not replaced, the surrounding teeth may shift to fill the gap, potentially leading to further alignment issues.

Can dental implants be done in one day?

In most cases, treatment for dental implants spans several months to allow for proper healing, with separate appointments for the consultation, placement, and fitting of the crown. Some clinics offer "immediate" implants, though these entail specific risks. Speak with us to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

General dentists can perform implant treatments if they have undergone specific training. At Dentistry in Canterbury, we work with experienced practitioners to provide effective and reliable dental implant treatments in Melbourne. You can rest assured you are receiving quality care.
