Payment plans available
Ready to explore dental implants in Melbourne? We offer a range of payment plans to help make treatment more manageable.
Single & multiple
dental implants
If you are missing one tooth – or several teeth in a row – dental implants may be one option to help restore everyday comfort, function and appearance.
A dental implant is a
small titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace
a missing tooth root.
At Dental Implant & Sleep Centre in Melbourne, we provide single and multiple dental implant treatment in purpose-built clinical environments. Once healed, it can support a custom-made crown (for one tooth) or a bridge (for multiple teeth).
Dental implants
may be suitable for patients who
have a missing tooth due to injury, decay or gum disease
have a split or cracked tooth that cannot be restored
have experienced a failed root canal
are missing two to four teeth in a row
want to avoid removable partial dentures
are seeking a longer-term tooth replacement option
Suitability depends on factors such as bone quality, gum health, bite forces, medical history and healing capacity. A comprehensive consultation and imaging assessment are required to determine whether dental implants are appropriate for you.
Alternatives to single dental implants
01
Implant-supported bridge
Implant-supported bridge
If you are missing two to four teeth in a row, an implant bridge may be recommended. Rather than placing an implant for every missing tooth, strategically positioned implants can support a custom bridge.
02
Traditional fixed bridge
Traditional fixed bridge
A conventional bridge uses crowns placed over neighbouring teeth to support a replacement tooth. This option may be suitable in some cases but relies on the support of natural teeth rather than implants.
03
Removable partial denture
Removable partial denture
A removable partial denture replaces one or more missing teeth and can be taken out for cleaning. Some patients prefer this option depending on their clinical circumstances. Your dentist will explain the differences and recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs.
The 3-step
treatment process
Consultation and treatment planning
01
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at our Melbourne clinic. Your dentist will assess your oral health, review your medical history, and use 3D imaging or X-rays to evaluate bone structure and implant suitability. Treatment options, risks and alternatives will be clearly explained before any decision is made.
Implant placement
02
The dental implant is placed into the jawbone in a carefully planned position. Healing time is required to allow the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration).
Final restoration and ongoing care
03
In some cases, a temporary crown may be placed during healing. In other situations, staged treatment is recommended to support long-term outcomes.
