Gaps in your smile can dramatically affect self-confidence, with patients complaining they self-consciously cover their mouths or find it difficult to chew. So if you’re looking for a long- term, permanent and durable solution to improve your smile… implants might be the choice of treatment for you. Unlike dentures which are removable, dental implants are fused to your jawbone. Made from titanium, a biocompatible element which mimics your tooth root, and covered with a dental crown, dental implants are designed to go the distance. With the right care and maintenance, this tooth replacement solution can last a lifetime.

Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth, allowing you to chew and talk naturally. For patients missing one or several teeth, implants are a particularly fitting and sustainable alternative to dentures, as they maintain your natural facial contours and provide you with the confidence to smile again. At South Morang Smiles, we will connect you to the right specialist for implant placement, while the second stage entailing restoration (crown) placement can completed done in-house.

As with most things in dentistry, there are a myriad of different dental implants out there to suit your individual circumstances. If you require one tooth to be replaced, we can provide individual tooth implants. Alternatively, “all-on-four” or “all-on-six implants” are ideal for a full new set of teeth. All systems are designed to last for a number of years (roughly 20 years) and arguably even a lifetime. Much to your delight, the entire procedure is relatively quick and pain-free and you’ll find yourself returning to your day-to-day activities with little discomfort.
