Dental Implants in Hampton Park, VIC
At Hampton Park Dental, our primary goal is to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible; however, there are some circumstances where tooth loss is inevitable, and a tooth extraction becomes necessary to protect your dental health. In these cases, we offer personalised solutions for restoring your smile with dental implants.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
A dental implant is the closest tooth replacement option to a natural tooth. The implant itself takes the place of your root when our dentists securely place it into your jawbone. It’s made from biocompatible titanium, which naturally integrates with your bone over time to keep it healthy and stimulated, which helps prevent bone loss.
Once your implant fully integrates with your bone, it can support your new restoration. A porcelain crown attaches to a single implant to restore one tooth. In contrast, two to six strategically placed implants can support a bridge or denture to restore multiple missing teeth and even an entire arch. This treatment approach is called 'all-on-x'.
Dental implants offer protection for your dental health, along with restoring chewing function and aesthetics to your smile.
All-on-X and T24 Treatment Concepts
All-on-x treatment is ideal for supporting an upper or lower denture. Our dentists carefully place four to six dental implants, depending on your needs, and design your denture to attach to those implants for support.
The all-on-x treatment concept is the foundation of our T24 approach. In some cases, a temporary set of teeth may be placed on the same day as your implant procedure, depending on your individual needs and suitability.
*Treatment suitability and timelines vary based on individual oral health, bone structure, and other factors.
The Dental Implant Advantage
For patients who qualify, tooth implants offer our patients several essential benefits.
- The look and feel of a natural tooth
- Prevents bone loss and deterioration
- Excellent longevity with the potential to last a lifetime
- Reliable treatment with a high success rate
- The capability to replace one or multiple teeth
- Improved confidence with your smile restored
Am I a Candidate for Tooth Implants?
Our goal is to help you regain your chewing function, smile, and confidence, and dental implants may be the option to help you achieve your smile goals. Dental implants work well for many patients, but they require enough healthy bone to support them and ensure that the patient is in good general health.
If you lack enough bone to support a dental implant successfully due to trauma, tooth loss or periodontal (gum) disease, our dentists may discuss a bone grafting procedure that can rebuild your bone. Bone grafting helps many patients rebuild their jawbone so they can achieve the tooth replacement they need for a healthy smile.

Dental Implants in Hampton Park, VIC
Dental implants are an excellent option for restoring a single missing tooth or even an entire arch. The implant is placed into your jawbone, where it takes the place of your root. As your new root, it helps to keep your jawbone healthy and stimulated to avoid deterioration.
We can also use four to six carefully placed dental implants to support a denture, which restores an entire arch of lost teeth with our all-on-x treatment concept. Combining our T24 concept with all-on-x means that you'll have your new smile completed within 24 hours.
We customise your implant restoration to blend with your natural teeth to enhance your smile or rebuild your facial structure if we're restoring an entire arch of teeth.

Tooth implants have helped hundreds of patients; however, they require that the patient is in good general health and has enough healthy bone structure to successfully support the tooth implant.
Making Dental Implants Accessible
Our dentists use information gathered during an evaluation, like X-rays, an exam and photos of your smile, to determine if dental implants are right for your needs. If you're lacking enough healthy bone structure to support one or more dental implants, they may discuss options like a bone grafting procedure.
During a bone grafting procedure, natural or synthetic bone material is used to rebuild your jawbone so it can better support a tooth implant. After a few months of healing time, we can place your dental implants and restore your smile.
Your Hampton Park dentist will oversee your treatment every step of the way to ensure we achieve the best outcome for your smile.
How Can I Get Started?
Booking an evaluation with one of our dentists is the best way for you to determine the possibilities for your smile. During that visit, you'll learn about the best treatment options for your smile, how long it will take to complete, and what the cost would be.

Yes! If you're considering extensive dental treatment, we can help you gain early access to your superannuation funds to help you cover the cost of your treatment. Early super access can be ideal in these situations:
- You or at least one family member have superannuation funds
- You don't have personal health fund insurance
- It would be a financial hardship to cover the cost of your treatment with personal resources
Our team can help you with the paperwork for early super access while a SuperCare representative walks you through the rest of the process. You can contact our team for more information on early super access.
Note: Accessing superannuation for dental treatment is subject to eligibility and approval by the relevant government agency. We can assist with the process, but approval is not guaranteed.
Other Convenient Payment Options
If early super access is not an option for you, we do offer other options that can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for dental care, such as:
- Preferred provider status with several private health funds, including Medibank, Bupa, HCF, NIB, CBHS
- Relationships with third-party companies that can offer affordable monthly payment plans, like Humm, Afterpay, TLC
- Medicare Child Dental Benefit - Bulk billing
- HICAPS claims processing
Eligibility for health fund benefits, payment plans, and superannuation access varies depending on the provider and individual circumstances. Terms, conditions, and lending criteria apply. Please check with your health fund or finance provider to confirm your eligibility before treatment.
If you need help sorting out the best payment arrangement for your dental care, please get in touch with your Hampton Park dentist and speak with one of our knowledgeable and helpful team members.
