Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants. Key factors include good oral hygiene, healthy gums, and sufficient bone density to support the implant. Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that implants aren’t an option, maybe due to bone loss or gum recession, we may still be able to help. A full assessment at our Moonee Ponds dental clinic will determine the best approach for you.
Every smile is different, and so is every implant treatment. At Future Dental Centre, our dedicated implant dentists in Coburg offer practical options for missing teeth replacement. Depending on your case, this could include:
Whether replacing one missing tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants are designed to provide a stable and natural-looking outcome. Each restoration is carefully created to align with the shape and colour of your surrounding teeth, supporting both function and appearance.
For those seeking a more comprehensive treatment, we offer full arch implant restorations, including All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-10. These advanced techniques are generally ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth or ill-fitting 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 aims to assist in rebuilding jaw structure and preparing the area for potential future implants. It may be considered in situations involving gum recession or bone loss, helping support stability and longer-term implant outcomes.
At Future Dental Centre, building trust and understanding is central to how we support your smile. Our dental implant journey focuses on clear explanations, personalised planning, and a comfortable pace tailored to your needs.
Step 1
The first step in your dental implant journey is a comprehensive consultation, where your oral health is assessed and implant options are discussed. Our in-house digital scanner and OPG allow us to obtain clear 3D images, helping our implant dentists plan your treatment with precision while keeping everything conveniently in one place.
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
At your following visit, a small biocompatible titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone through a minor incision in the gums. The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic, with a strong focus on your comfort at every stage. Many patients find this part of the process more manageable than they expected.
Step 4
After your surgical implant placement, we will equip you with post-operative instructions and prescriptions for a smoother and faster recovery. Over the next few months (typically three to six), your implant should integrate naturally with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. This aims to create a strong and stable foundation for your new tooth. During this time, we'll provide ongoing support and may fit a temporary dental crown, so you're never without a smile.
Step 5
Once your implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, we'll take detailed impressions to design your bespoke dental crown. This final restoration is meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth in shape, shade, and size, supporting a beautifully seamless result. A small connector, known as an abutment, is used to attach the crown securely to the implant beneath the gum line. The result should be a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural, healthy 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.

Dental implants provide a structured approach to replacing missing teeth. The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, followed by the attachment of a crown, bridge, or denture once healing has occurred.
At Future Dental Centre, our dental implant treatment is carefully planned using advanced imaging in an effort to maintain precision and comfort.
Dental implant pricing may vary depending on individual treatment needs, including the number of implants and the restoration type. At Future Dental Centre, we offer clear, upfront quotes so you know what to expect.
We also offer flexible payment plans, accept all major health funds, and are preferred providers for HCF, nib, and smile.com.au.
It is common for patients to find the procedure more comfortable than expected. Depending on your needs, options such as happy gas, IV sedation, or general anaesthetic for complex cases may be discussed to support a relaxed experience. Our Coburg implant dentists are known for their gentle, thorough care.
Alongside dental implants, we offer a wide range of services, including general dentistry, orthodontics, and cosmetic dentistry treatments such as teeth whitening and veneers. Whatever your needs, we are committed to supporting your oral health journey.
