Dental Implants Melbourne

Basic implants usually consist of 2 elements. Firstly, a titanium screw which is placed into the jawbone to provide a solid foundation. The titanium surface is specially treated to promote the healing of your bone onto it, much like the titanium used in replacing hip and knee joints. Secondly, there is the “crown” that is screwed into the implant. This is the part that you can see above the gum line. Currently, the materials available to construct crowns are better than ever and can be seamlessly matched to blend in with your natural teeth.

Implant surgery is generally performed using local anaesthetic. Our centre is well equipped to ensure your experience is as comfortable and worry-free as possible. We have access to sedation options which allows a patient to doze whilst the procedure is completed.

Although everyone is different in their sensations of discomfort, most people find the placement of an implant to be a similar sensation to having a relatively simple extraction. However, there is a spectrum of discomfort depending on the complexity of the surgery. For example, the need for simultaneous bone and soft tissue grafting at the time of implant placement would create more discomfort than a simple single implant placement. All our patients are given strong analgesics after surgery to ensure that your recovery period is as comfortable as possible.

Implant surgery is a major dental procedure, and depending on the condition of the bone structure and any preparatory work that needs to be done, the costs can vary. That said, an implant is a sound investment for your health and well-being that can reduce the risk of triggering a cascade of severe dental health problems The cost of a dental implant may well be outweighed by the benefits of regaining the quality of life that comes with being able to eat, speak, smile and laugh without hesitation or feeling self-conscious.

The dental implant cost in Melbourne is divided between the surgical implant component and the crown cap. Thankfully the technological and manufacturing improvements to both the component and the dental implant bridge have made having a tooth implant in Melbourne more affordable than in the past.

If you have multiple teeth to replace, there are economical ways we can restore multiple teeth without simply multiplying the cost of individual implants. Methods have been developed that allow multiple replacement teeth to be permanently fixed using fewer physical implants into the jaw, for example with a fixed bridge implant, or if a whole set of teeth needs replacing, by using only 4 implants with the all-on-4 method, the all-on-4 dental implant cost may only be around half of 12 single implants.

Depending on your health insurance cover for Major Dental, you may be entitled to a rebate for dental implant surgery from anywhere from $600 – $2000. This will depend on your level of cover, so you may wish to discuss this directly with your provider to get a better idea of your entitlements.

Yes.
Our centre has access to several medical credit and finance options which can make your new smile a reality with a manageable repayment plan.

This really depends on a number of factors, including the quality of the bone at the site of placement, whether or not bone and soft tissue grafting are also required, and the degree of torque that can be placed on the implant during surgery. As a guideline it is anywhere from 24 hours to 6 months.

Absolutely. There are several ways dental implants can help people who are fed up with their dentures. For example, 2 lower implants can simply be placed in the lower jaw to anchor a lower complete denture in place, so it won’t move around whilst you eat. Or you can even throw your denture away and have more implants placed to support a fixed dental implant bridge. Just 4 implants in the lower jaw and 6 in the upper can be enough to support 24 teeth! Contact us today to find out more about implant supported denture costs. The cost of all-on-4 implants in Australia can he expensive at other clinics. We offer fixed bridges that cost less that other dental clinics.

First you will meet with our dentist for a consultation during which your medical history is reviewed and a thorough examination of the potential implant site is completed. At the end of the consultation you will likely need to undergo a Cone Beam CT with a nearby radiographer. Once the dentist has seen the scans, you will then be sent a treatment plan detailing the costs and further information relevant to your case. The next appointment would usually be for the surgery.

Do not worry, at the Cosmetic and Laser Dentistry Centre we understand your anxiety and our whole team is well equipped to make your experience as pleasant and smooth as possible. During your consultation you can discuss the different options and techniques that are available to address any concerns. Solutions for anxiety can range from taking a sedative tablet 1 hour before surgery to help you feel more relaxed, to being administered anaesthetic so that you are asleep during the procedure.

Patient comfort is a paramount priority to us. We employ a number of techniques to address anxiety and discomfort. The dentist may recommend professional sedation performed by a secondary specialised clinician, or may suggest a sedative tablet one hour prior to surgery. Any concerns or anxiety you have about any stage of the procedure will be discussed at your initial consultation.

Many people consider travelling overseas, or “dental tourism”, a viable option for major dental procedures, considering it is often more affordable and is a great excuse for a holiday. Whilst many providers overseas are certainly up to standard, you should be very wary of the dangers in opting for bargain price dentistry. Infection risks, failure rates, sub-par quality of work and materials can create an even more costly and painful scenario after returning home and needing to correct such issues.
