Dental Implants in Coburg North

Dental implants offer hope if you struggle with tooth loss, discomfort, or the daily challenges of wearing removable dentures. At Coburg Hill Oral Care, our skilled dentists provide implant placement and restoration services, so you can have the entire process completed at our comfortable Coburg North dental clinic. 

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Is a Healthy Option

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots designed to provide a permanent foundation for replacement teeth. They are unique because they fuse to your jawbone, offering stable support for artificial teeth. Unlike removable dentures that may slip or cause embarrassing noises, implants stay firm, allowing you to speak, eat and smile confidently.

Are You a Candidate for Implants?

Good candidates for dental implants typically have:

• Adequate bone density to support the implant
• Good general oral health with no gum disease
• No health conditions affecting bone healing
• A commitment to thorough oral hygiene and regular dental visits

If you are a smoker or have chronic disorders such as diabetes or heart disease, you may need to be evaluated on an individual basis to determine if implants are the right choice.

Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts

Sometimes, there isn't enough dense bone mass to place an implant successfully. In this case, our dentists may recommend bone grafting. This straightforward process involves taking bone material from your body or another source and grafting it to the area of the missing tooth. This forms the foundation for new bone to grow, making implant placement possible.

Another situation is where the position of the sinus would interfere with implant placement. In this case, our dentists carefully lift the sinus membrane and place the graft under it, allowing for successful implant placement in the future.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Opting for dental implants comes with numerous benefits:

• High Success Rate — Dental implants have a high rate of success and can last a lifetime with proper care.
• Jawbone Preservation — Implants are the only dental restoration that preserves and stimulates jawbone growth.
• Stabilising Effect — Dental implants stabilise surrounding teeth by filling the gap left by the missing tooth.
• Restored Function — Implants restore chewing function, allowing you to eat your favourite foods without pain.
• Aesthetics — Dental implants are a natural-looking restoration that can restore your smile and comfort. 

How Long Does the Implant Process Take?

The implant process begins with an initial evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate. Expert placement of the implant post in your jaw is followed by a healing period of several months, during which the implant fuses with the jawbone.

Depending on the number of missing teeth, various restorations such as crowns, bridges or even full-arch replacements can be attached to the implants.
