Dental implants in Kew – Enjoy a specialist level of dental care

Finding the right treatment for every patient requires careful evaluation across a multitude of factors. Every dental condition is unique.

For this reason, CBCT scanning technology is used to carefully study the quality and quantity of bone. This helps to decide upon the number and type of implants needed in a particular situation.
In some instances, the foundation (bone) needs to be rebuilt first.

Based on a full clinical examination, our Specialist Prosthodontist will customise your treatment plan to your individual requirements.
At our dental practice here in Kew, Dr Kosalram and the team have meticulously set up processes in place to deliver complete implant dentistry solutions.

This includes:

Implant treatment planning
Bone replacement (grafting) where necessary
Implant placement using digital or conventional techniques
Final prosthesis/ teeth delivery

All of the above results in a seamless treatment experience for patients. Quality dental implants from companies such as Straumann, Astra, BioHorizons, Biomet 3i and Noble Biocare are used to treat our patients. These are known and trusted implant companies that are recognised worldwide.

These products, coupled with the latest technology, allows the team at Melbourne East Prosthodontics to accurately replace:

A single tooth
Several teeth or a segment of the jaw
An entire arch of teeth

This treatment is carried out using the latest materials available to fabricate implant-supported crowns and bridges, full-arch implant bridges and Dental implants to replace multiple teeth treatments.

Dental implant procedures in Kew

Throughout the dental implant treatment procedures, patients can be rest assured that their health and well-being are our number one priority. The implant procedure is phased as follows:

A comprehensive examination

A 3-dimensional investigation of the jaw bone is undertaken at the implant placement site. This is to determine the placement accuracy of your dental implant/ implants. From this, a digital impression/ guide is made.

Inserting dental implants

Meticulous planning reduces the surgery time needed to insert the dental implant into the jaw. An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon or Periodontist will perform your surgery.

Healing time

Often, after surgery, there will be a period of healing before the permanent crown/ bridge is inserted. This time period ranges between 3-6 months and allows for successful bone integration.

Fabricating the permanent crown

Your dental crown/ bridge is fabricated to perfectly achieve the colour, size, and shape of tooth/ teeth that you desire.

Insert and follow-up

Dr Kosalram will insert your permanent crown and follow-up with regular appointments to ensure your comfort and functionality of your new crown/ bridge. We believe regular follow-up appointments are essential for treatment success and encourage our patients to keep these appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium-based posts implanted into the jawbone to serve as stable roots for replacement teeth. They support crowns, bridges, or dentures to restore function and natural appearance.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

A suitable candidate typically has good overall health, sufficient jawbone density, and healthy gums. A personalised consultation with your Melbourne dentist will confirm whether implants are right for you.

How long do dental implants last?

With diligent oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups, dental implants can last for 15 to 25 years or more—often lasting a lifetime if well maintained.
