For many healthy adults with missing teeth, dental implants may be considered as part of treatment planning. Important factors typically include gum health, oral hygiene, and sufficient bone support. If you have previously been told implants were not suitable, including because of bone or gum changes, further assessment may identify other options. A thorough consultation at our dental clinic will help determine the most appropriate approach for you.
Every smile is different, and so is every implant treatment. At Future Dental Centre, our dedicated implant dentists in Ascot Vale offer practical options for missing teeth replacement. Depending on your case, this could include:
If you are missing one tooth or several, dental implants may provide a stable solution with a natural-looking finish. Restorations are planned to complement the shape and shade of your existing teeth, with the goal of supporting everyday function and overall appearance.
If a more complete solution is required, full arch implant restorations may be an option. At our clinic, this can include All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-10, which are often suited to individuals with multiple missing teeth or unstable dentures.
If you’ve experienced significant upper jawbone loss and have been told implants aren’t an option, zygomatic implants may be an option for you. These longer implants anchor into the cheekbone, bypassing areas of diminished bone density, and may eliminate the need for a bone graft entirely.
Dental bone grafting, also known as gum grafting, aims to help rebuild the jaw and prepare the area for future implants. This treatment is often particularly helpful in cases of severe gum recession or bone shrinkage, supporting both strength and support for lasting implant success.
At Future Dental Centre, we believe that a healthy smile starts with trust and understanding. Our dental implant journey is designed with you in mind: clear, personalised, and paced to put your comfort and satisfaction first.
Step 1
Your dental implant journey begins with a detailed consultation to review your oral health and talk through whether implants may be suitable for you. With our in-house digital scanner and OPG, we take detailed 3D images of your mouth, supporting careful treatment planning by our implant dentists without requiring you to visit another location for scans.
Step 2
If you are considered suitable for dental implants, we will clearly outline the treatment process, expected outcomes, key points to consider, and available payment options. We welcome any questions to help you feel informed and confident in your decision. If you proceed, we will create a detailed treatment plan tailored to you. Where implants are not appropriate, other treatment options will be recommended.
Step 3
In your next appointment, the implant, which is a small, biocompatible titanium post, is surgically placed into the jawbone by making a small incision in your gums. This procedure is typically carried out under local anaesthetic, with your comfort as our top priority throughout. Most patients are surprised at how smooth and straightforward this step feels.
Step 4
Once the implant has been placed, you will receive detailed post-operative guidance and any necessary prescriptions to support healing. In the months ahead, typically between three and six, the implant integrates with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a secure base for the final restoration. We continue to support you during this time and may fit a temporary crown so you can smile with confidence throughout treatment.
Step 5
After the implant has integrated with the jawbone, detailed impressions are taken to create a custom dental crown. The final restoration is designed to closely match the shape, colour, and size of your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance. An abutment is used to securely connect the crown to the implant below the gum line, supporting a result that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Step 6
Dental implants may last for years or even a lifetime with proper at-home care and routine professional maintenance. To help with longevity and proper functioning, we will set up routine follow-up appointments to monitor your implant's health. If you ever have questions or concerns with your dental implant, we are always a phone call away, ready to support you so you may continue enjoying the things you love.
While implant treatment is not generally covered by Medicare, there are multiple ways we help patients manage costs. Future Dental Centre is a preferred provider for HCF, nib, and smile.com.au, accepts SACM, and offers on-the-spot claims for all major health funds using HICAPS. Eligible vouchers, including Cohealth, Monash, VDES, and VDGS are honoured, with payment plans available through Humm and Fund My Dental (up to $2,000).
When teeth are missing, the impact often goes beyond how your smile looks. Difficulties with chewing, changes in speech, and reduced confidence when smiling are common concerns. Taking steps to support your smile may now feel more important than ever.
Arrange your consultation today with our implant dentist, based in Ascot Vale, to learn more about suitable options for replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants are used as a long-term option for replacing missing teeth. A small titanium post is positioned within the jawbone to function like a tooth root, and after healing, a crown, bridge, or denture is secured to complete the restoration.
Dental implant treatment at Future Dental Centre is planned using advanced imaging technology to support accurate planning and a comfortable treatment experience.
The cost of dental implants can differ based on how many implants are required and the type of restoration involved. At Future Dental Centre, all pricing is provided upfront with no hidden fees.
We also offer flexible payment plans, accept all major health funds, and are preferred providers for HCF, nib, and smile.com.au.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. With options like ‘happy gas’, IV sedation, or general anaesthetic for complex cases, we aim to make sure your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our Ascot Vale implant dentists are known for their gentle and thorough approach.
We also offer general dentistry, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry, such as teeth whitening and veneers. No matter the service you need, we want to help.
