Welcome to Oak Park Denture Clinic Melbourne, we love your smile. If you have missing teeth you’re not alone, many Australians have tooth loss due to injury, decay or other dental issues. Full mouth dental implants is a permanent solution to get your confidence and oral health back.
Full mouth dental implants involves surgically placing dental implants into the jawbone to provide a solid foundation for prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional dentures which can slip or require messy adhesives, dental implants function like natural teeth. So you can eat your favourite foods without worries.
This reduces the need for multiple implants and is a more efficient option for many patients. The benefits of 4 implants include lower cost, shorter treatment time and less invasive than traditional implants.
When you lose teeth your jawbone can shrink due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants prevent bone loss by acting as tooth roots, fusing to the jaw bone and keeping the bone healthy and intact. This is important for facial structure and preventing further dental problems.
And dental implants is a permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care. You can brush and floss as you would with natural teeth. This means better overall health and wellbeing.
Dental implants has many benefits for those with missing teeth. It’s a permanent solution that not only restore the natural look of your smile but also the function of your teeth. With dental implants you can eat, speak and smile with confidence, free from the discomfort and embarrassment of removable dentures.
One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they preserve the surrounding bone. When teeth are missing the jawbone can shrink over time due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the bone and preventing further bone loss. This keeps the oral environment healthier and more stable so your other teeth stay in place and your facial structure intact.
And dental implants blends in with your natural teeth, looks and feels like your original teeth. This not only looks better but also boost your confidence so you can live better.
The journey to full mouth dental implants starts with an initial consultation. During this visit our dental professionals will assess your oral health and discuss your needs. We will create a customised treatment plan taking into account bone density and any existing dental conditions. The initial consultation will also give you a better idea of the dental implants cost so you can plan ahead.
Bone Grafting: If you have significant bone loss you may need bone grafting before the implants can be placed. This involves adding bone material to build up the jaw to provide a solid base for the implants.
Implant Surgery: Once your jaw is ready the implant surgery can begin. We will place the dental implants into the jawbone. This may seem scary but our team uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure your comfort and safety.
Healing and Temporary Teeth: After the implants are placed a healing period is required for the implants to fuse to the jawbone – a process called osseointegration. While you heal we can provide temporary teeth so you can smile with confidence during the recovery.
All On 4 is a revolutionary dental implant treatment that allows patients to have a full set of replacement teeth in one day. This approach uses 4 strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed bridge of artificial teeth, a permanent solution for those with missing teeth.
The journey to a new smile with All On 4 starts with a consultation with one of our experienced dental professionals. During this initial visit we will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment options and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure. This involves a thorough examination of your mouth, X-rays and possibly 3D imaging to evaluate the condition of your jawbone and existing teeth.
Based on this we will create a customised treatment plan for you. This plan will outline the entire procedure from the placement of the dental implants to the creation of your new artificial teeth so you know what to expect at each stage.
The next step in the All On 4 procedure is the surgical placement of the dental implants. This is done under local anesthesia or sedation so you’re comfortable throughout the process. During the surgery small incisions are made in the gum tissue and the 4 dental implants are placed into the jawbone at precise angles to provide maximum support and stability.
The implants are then closed over and temporary teeth are attached to the implants. You can leave the clinic with a functional and beautiful smile on the same day as your surgery.
After the implant placement a healing period is required for the implants to integrate with the jawbone – a process called osseointegration. This can take several months during which the implants will fuse to the bone to provide a strong and stable base for your permanent artificial teeth.
During this healing phase you will be given a temporary set of teeth so you can eat and speak normally while the implants heal. Once osseointegration is complete you will return to the clinic to have your permanent set of artificial teeth attached to the implants. These final teeth are custom made to match your natural teeth in colour, shape and size so you have a beautiful and durable solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
By following these steps All On 4 is a quick and easy path to a fully restored smile, combining the benefits of dental implants with the convenience of a one day transformation.
