Dental Implants in Lower Plenty, VIC

Living with one or more missing teeth can be a challenge and impact your quality of life. Chewing and eating food may be difficult, and you might feel self-conscious about gaps in your smile, affecting your interactions with others.

At St George’s Dental, we offer solutions for missing teeth with dental implants in Lower Plenty that can restore one tooth or an entire arch. Here’s what you should know. 

How Dental Implants Work

Whether you’re replacing one or multiple teeth, we can help you complete your dental implants from start to finish at St George’s Dental. Here’s what the process looks like.

• Evaluation and Consultation: You’ll start by meeting with our dentists to learn more about your options and what’s possible for your smile. They’ll gather information with photos, x-rays, and a thorough teeth exam to let you know the next best steps.
• Implant Placement: Our dentists will carefully place one implant in your jawbone for a single replacement or two to six implants to support a bridge or denture with all-on-x treatment. Our T24 process can restore your smile within 24 hours if you’re missing multiple teeth, so you don’t have to live without your smile.
• Osseointegration or Fusion: It takes your dental implant three to six months to fuse and integrate with your bone fully. Meanwhile, we monitor your progress the entire time.
• Restoration: If we replace a single tooth, our dentists will attach a porcelain crown to your implant; for multiple teeth, your implants will support a denture or bridge.

The All-on-X/T24 Treatment Concept

All-on-x treatment refers to when our dentists use two to six carefully paced dental implants to support a prosthetic like a denture to replace an entire arch of teeth. T24 (Teeth in 24 Hours) uses the all-on-x treatment concept to restore your teeth within 24 hours, so you’ll never be without your smile.
