Many healthy adults with one or more missing teeth may be suitable for dental implants. Considerations often include oral hygiene habits, gum health, and adequate bone to support the implant. If you have previously been advised that implants were not suitable, including due to bone loss or gum concerns, further options may still be available. A comprehensive assessment at our Moonee Ponds dental clinic will help guide the most appropriate plan for you.
Because every smile and situation is different, implant treatment is approached on an individual basis. At Future Dental Centre, our implant dentists in Aberfeldie focus on practical solutions for missing teeth replacement. Depending on your circumstances, options may include:
Whether you’re replacing a single missing tooth or several, dental implants aim to offer a stable, natural-looking result. We design each restoration to match the shape and shade of your existing teeth, aiming to improve both function and appearance.
For those needing a broader tooth replacement solution, full arch implant restorations are available, including All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-10. These approaches are often considered for patients experiencing extensive tooth loss or difficulties with existing dentures.
For patients with considerable upper jawbone loss who have previously been advised that implants were not suitable, zygomatic implants may offer an alternative approach. By securing into the cheekbone, these implants work around areas of lower bone density and may reduce or remove the need for bone graft procedures.
Bone grafting procedures may be used to support the jaw and create suitable conditions for future dental implants. This approach is often considered where there has been notable gum recession or bone reduction, helping provide added support for implant placement.
At Future Dental Centre, we value trust and understanding as the foundation of a healthy smile. Our dental implant process is planned around you, with clear communication, personalised care, and a pace that supports your comfort and confidence.
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're suitable for dental implants, we'll explain the procedure, benefits, things to know before committing to dental implants, costs, and payment options. We also encourage you to ask as many questions as you need to make an informed decision. If you decide to proceed with the treatment, we will then put together a detailed and personalised treatment plan. If a dental implant isn't the right treatment for your circumstances, we'll recommend alternative options.
Step 3
During your next appointment, the implant, made from biocompatible titanium, is positioned into the jawbone via a small gum incision. This step is commonly completed using local anaesthetic, with careful attention given to your comfort throughout the procedure. Patients often comment on how calm and controlled the experience feels.
Step 4
After your implant procedure, we will guide you through aftercare instructions and provide prescriptions where needed to assist recovery. Over the following three to six months, the implant gradually integrates with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration, supporting a stable foundation for your new tooth. During this phase, ongoing care is provided and a temporary crown may be used to maintain appearance and function.
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
When supported by good daily care and routine dental reviews, implants may provide long-term tooth replacement. To help maintain their condition, we schedule follow-up appointments to monitor implant health over time. If you need assistance or have concerns, our team is only a phone call away and happy to help.
Although Medicare typically does not cover dental implants, we offer a range of payment and funding options to support access to treatment. Future Dental Centre works as a preferred provider for HCF, nib, and smile.com.au, accepts SACM, and claims all major health funds via HICAPS. We also honour Cohealth, Monash vouchers, VDES, and VDGS, and offer flexible payment plans through Humm and Fund My Dental, with up to $2,000 available.
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 Aberfeldie, to learn more about suitable options for replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants involve placing a small titanium post into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth. After the recovery period, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is fitted on top to restore function and appearance.
At Future Dental Centre, our dental implant treatment is carefully planned using advanced imaging in an effort to maintain precision and comfort.
Dental implant costs can vary depending on the number of implants needed and the type of restoration. At Future Dental Centre, we provide upfront quotes with no hidden fees.
