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 Pascoe Vale offer practical options for missing teeth replacement. Depending on your case, this could 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 patients looking for a more comprehensive approach, we provide full arch implant restorations such as All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-10. These treatment options are commonly considered for people with several missing teeth or dentures that no longer fit comfortably.
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.
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 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
Your dental implant journey starts with a thorough consultation, where we assess your oral health and discuss whether implants may be right for you. Using our in-house digital scanner and OPG, we capture precise 3D images of your mouth, allowing our experienced implant dentists to plan your treatment accurately and efficiently, all without the need to travel elsewhere to get your scans done.
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 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
Once integration with the jawbone is complete, we take precise impressions to craft a personalised dental crown. The crown is made to blend with your existing teeth in terms of shape, shade, and proportions. It is attached to the implant using an abutment placed beneath the gum line, aiming to provide a natural-looking and comfortable outcome.
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.
Missing teeth can influence daily life in several ways beyond appearance. Chewing may feel uncomfortable, speech can be affected, and confidence when smiling may decline. For many people, this is a meaningful time to focus on their smile.
