Dental Implants in Barwon Heads
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed in the jaw and, once healed, carries a crown made to match your natural teeth.
Who it suits
Implants can suit adults missing one or more teeth who have healthy gums and enough bone. Your dentist checks this at an assessment, with a 3D scan where needed, and explains the other options - such as a bridge or a denture - so you can choose.
The steps
1. Assessment and written quote.
2. Placing the implant.
3. A healing period, usually a few months.
4. Fitting your crown, made in our in-house dental lab.
Fees
Single implant with crown from $4,200* - your written quote lists exactly what is included.
*A guide only. Your fee depends on your needs and is confirmed in a written quote after your assessment.
Risks
As with any surgical procedure, implants carry risks. Your dentist will explain them, and the alternatives, before you decide. You are welcome to seek a second opinion.
