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.

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.
