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 unique, and implant treatment is planned to suit each individual. At Future Dental Centre, our implant dentists in Keilor East provide practical approaches to replacing missing teeth, tailored to your situation. Depending on your needs, this may 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.
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 significant upper jawbone loss has limited your treatment options in the past, zygomatic implants may still be considered. These longer implants are anchored into the cheekbone, allowing treatment to bypass areas with reduced bone density and, in some cases, avoid the need for bone grafting.
In some cases, dental bone grafting may be recommended to support jaw structure and prepare for implant treatment. It is commonly considered when gum recession or bone shrinkage is present, helping provide a stronger foundation for future implants.
At Future Dental Centre, we take a patient-focused approach grounded in trust and understanding. Our dental implant journey is structured to be clear and personalised, with careful pacing to support your comfort and overall experience.
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
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 can remain functional for many years with consistent at-home care and ongoing dental maintenance. We organise regular review appointments to keep track of your implant’s condition and oral health. If questions or concerns arise, our team is always available to offer support and reassurance.
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.

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.
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.
We accept all major health funds, offer flexible payment plans, and are a preferred provider for HCF, nib, and smile.com.au.
