DENTAL IMPLANTS CRANBOURNE

While it’s true that there are a number of options for the replacement of a missing tooth, none come close to the natural appearance and functionality of dental implants in Cranbourne. Our dentists can assist you with all your dental implant needs in Cranbourne. Whether you need a single implant, two or more implants, or ‘teeth in a day” dental implant, we fit affordable dental implants in Cranbourne that meet your needs, requirements, and budget.

What’s All the Fuss About Dental Implants Anyway?

If you don't already know, dental implants in Cranbourne are regarded as the best way to replace missing teeth. Unlike conventional bridges and dentures, dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone where the missing tooth once was. Because dental implants are made from titanium, any remaining bone tissue fuses with it over time to create a super-strong platform. This platform can then be used to hold a single crown, support a bridge, or support removable dentures.

For this reason, dental implants in Cranbourne are not only considerably stronger than other tooth replacement options, but they are also longer-lasting, with a typical restoration lasting 20–30 years.

Now For the Scary Bit… Or Maybe Not!

For some people, the idea of having a small titanium rod dental implant inserted into their jaw may initially raise concerns. However, it's important to know that the dental implant procedure is quick, straightforward, and, most importantly, minimally painful. Thanks to our commitment to gentle dentistry and the application of a local anaesthetic, patients typically experience little to no discomfort. Moreover, the most challenging aspect of the process—determining the correct trajectory and depth for implant placement—is meticulously planned in advance, with your direct involvement not required. Consequently, the surgical phase of the dental implant treatment in Cranbourne concludes swiftly and inconspicuously.

That’s All Well and Good but What to Expect After Dental Implant Surgery?

For most people, recovery is a relatively quick process. In some cases, patients with a single dental implant with no other complications are known to return to work after just one or two days. Alternatively, for patients facing more invasive surgery, dental implant recovery in Cranbourne could take a little longer. However, on the whole, patients can normally expect to feel their normal selves within 7–10 days.

Any pain felt is normally easily brought under control using over-the-counter painkillers and sometimes prescribed antibiotics. Don’t worry, because our highly skilled team will explain what you can expect post-surgery and what you should do to feel as comfortable as possible with dental implants in Cranbourne.

Aside from needing time to recover physically, the surrounding bone tissue also needs time to fuse with the implant. Typically, this takes somewhere between 2-3 months for the lower jawbone and 3-6 months for the upper jawbone, but during this time, you should be good to carry on with your normal daily life.

Fitting The Abutment – A Small but Mighty Component

If you have had ‘teeth in a day’ dental implants in Cranbourne, apart from attending regular check-ups to monitor your progress, that's it—your treatment’s over! However, if you’re having conventional dental implants in Cranbourne, then you’ll need a tiny bit more surgery to fit the abutment. The implant is simply uncovered from the gum to expose the titanium base, and the abutment is placed on top. The abutment acts as a shock absorber, which takes the weight of any bite and dissipates it down through the implant and out into the jaw. It’s a small but highly important piece of the implant. Then, usually 2–3 weeks after this point, your permanent dental crown is fixed to complete the look.

Dental Implants Aftercare – What to Expect

Perhaps the best thing about undergoing an implant-based restoration is that, after roughly 4–9 months, you have a lifelike replacement for a natural tooth. One that you can use for biting and chewing just as you would with your natural teeth. This allows you to eat whatever you like, rather than only the foods that your previous oral situation allowed.

All that said, if you want to avoid dental implant complications in Cranbourne and have your implants last for the rest of your life, then it’s important to maintain daily brushing, flossing and regular visits to your dentist in Cranbourne.Remember, this is a commitment to life, so oral aftercare should be regular, thorough, and ongoing.

As you can see, dental implants in Cranbourne have the ability to restore a youthful appearance, boost confidence, and aid overall health. And let’s face it, there isn’t any other type of tooth replacement that even comes close!
