Dental Implants in Caulfield

Looking in patients mouth
Missing teeth can affect much more than your smile; they can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. If you’re tired of gaps, loose dentures, or avoiding your favourite foods, dental implants could be the lasting solution you’ve been searching for. Caulfield Park Dentists combines advanced techniques with truly personalised care to deliver results that may have you smiling with greater self-assurance.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into your jaw to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it integrates with the bone, we attach a crown, bridge, or denture on top, creating a replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Because implants fuse with the jaw, they provide stability and help prevent bone loss.

Options Tailored to Your Needs

Every person’s smile is different, and so are their needs. That’s why we offer a full range of implant-supported solutions:

Single Tooth Implants to fill isolated gaps
Implant Bridges for replacing multiple adjacent teeth
Implant-Retained Dentures for added comfort and security
All-on-4 or All-on-X Full Arch Implants for those needing full-mouth rehabilitation

Whether you’ve lost teeth due to trauma, dental concerns, or long-term wear, we’ll help you find a secure, natural-feeling option that suits your lifestyle.

What Happens During the Process?

The process is typically completed in four stages:

1. Consultation and Scan

We’ll review your dental and medical history, take a 3D scan of your jaw, and assess bone strength. We may recommend bone grafting to support the implant.

2. Surgical Placement

We place the titanium post into your jaw under local anaesthetic. Temporary teeth may be fitted while the area heals

3. Healing and Integration

Over a period of three to six months, the implant and bone gradually fuse together in a process called osseointegration.

4. Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is secured to the implant. The result is a durable, natural-looking smile; with the proper care, implants can last for decades.

Caring for Your Implants

If dental care makes you anxious, you’re not alone. We offer several sedation options to help you feel at ease. For simple implant placements, local anaesthetic is usually sufficient. For more complex All-on-X cases, we partner with a trusted local facility where procedures can be performed under IV sedation or general anaesthetic by qualified anaesthetists.

Is an Implant Right for You?

You might be a good candidate if you’re missing one or more teeth, struggling with a denture that feels loose or uncomfortable, or looking for a fixed solution that doesn’t rely on adhesives. During your consultation, we’ll explore all possibilities and offer guidance tailored to your goals, always with clear, pressure-free advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are built to last and may remain functional for 20 years or longer with proper care. Routine dental visits and good oral hygiene are key.

Will the procedure hurt?

Implant placement is done under anaesthetic, so most people feel minimal discomfort. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience mild swelling or soreness, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication.

How long does the whole process take?

From consultation to final restoration, the entire process typically takes three to six months, depending on the healing time and whether grafting is required. You’ll have temporary teeth while your final smile is being prepared.

Can I get implants if I’ve had bone loss?

Yes. Even if your jawbone has weakened, we will recommend grafting to strengthen the area before placing implants. This is a common and reliable technique.

Are dental implants better than dentures?

Implants don’t move, don’t require adhesives, and don’t come out at night. They feel more natural and help preserve your jawbone, which can shrink after tooth loss.
