Dental Implants Melbourne
Dental implants require two parts;
- The fixture which is made of medical-grade titanium. This is inserted into the bone so the bone can grow around it to keep it stable, and sits in the gum. (Also called Osseointegration).
- The second part is the prosthetic (the crown) which attaches to the abutment (fixture already in place) and provides the natural looking tooth. The crown can be made from a number of materials and this can be discussed with you during your appointment with our dental implants dentist.
When the tooth-like prosthetic is made, it is custom matched to the colour of your existing teeth. People cannot tell the difference between your dental implant and your own teeth, making it a great solution for missing or damaged teeth.
Other Factors to Consider for Dental Implants
You may be surprised to know that your overall health can also impact the option to have dental implants. Whether you smoke, have osteoporosis, diabetes and your age are all to be considered and it’s important you share your health information with the dentist. During the initial consultation your oral health will also be assessed.
