Quality dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable, and implants last many years.

Dental implants can also improve self-confidence as dental implants are made to match your smile.

Dental implants are a replacement for the root of your missing tooth and provide a foundation that are designed to match the look and feel of your real teeth.

Multiple teeth issues or missing teeth cause gaps in your smile and can lead to a misaligned bite and teeth, as teeth can move to fill the gap.

Other problems can include infected gums, decay, periodontitis, and further loss of teeth.

Receding jaw bone and gums causing premature ageing of your appearance can also occur.

If you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or for any other reason at all, then dental implants may be suitable for you.

Before proceeding you should seek a cosmetic dentist in Melbourne.

Dr Kasen is a highly experienced & skilled dentist, and world educator that has done many implant procedures over the years.

What Are Dental Implants (Tooth Implants) In Melbourne?

If you consider a tooth to have 2 parts – a root that sits under the gums and into the bone and a crown which sits above the gum and is the portion of tooth you see when you smile.

A dental implant is a medical grade titanium screw that takes the place of the root of the tooth and copies the appearance of your existing teeth.

An implant crown, which is a porcelain crown and something called an abutment (which connects the crown to the implant) sits above the gums takes the places of your natural crown.

Dr Kasen recommends dental implants because they will look natural, and fuse to your jawbone nicely, so they are considered a permanent fix vs dentures.

The dental implant and the implant crown will look very much like your real teeth.

Eating, brushing, and talking will feel quite normal when a professional implant specialist is involved with the implant placement.

To add to the benefits of dental implants is they are easy to clean – improving your overall dental health and oral hygiene.
