Restoring a gap with a dental implant is the nearest thing we have to replacing a natural tooth. Implant treatment provides you with artificial tooth root and functioning artificial tooth.
Where there was an unsightly space you now have a functioning tooth that matches the rest of your smile, nobody except you would know you’d had treatment!
Implants are a fantastic treatment option for many patients looking to return function and form to their smile.

Pre-Clinical Consultation:
Your journey begins with a free consultation with our patient experience manager, Julie. She’ll take time to understand your concerns and goals then organise an assessment with Dr Melbourne Carew.
New Patient Assessment:
Here, the dentist will assess your oral health, take X-rays, a CBCT, and craft a personalised treatment plan just for you.
Preparation:
Some preparatory procedures, like bone grafting or extractions, may be needed to ensure a strong foundation for your new implant.
Implant Placement:
During the surgical phase, Melbourne will place the implant into your jawbone under local anaesthesia, making sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
Osseointegration:
Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring it becomes securely anchored.
Abutment Placement:
Once integration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as the connector between the implant and your new tooth.
Artificial Tooth Placement:
The grand finale! A custom-made crown is placed on the abutment, perfectly matching the colour and shape of your natural teeth. Now you can enjoy your new perfect smile!
Follow-Up Care:
Your new smile deserves the best care. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene practices will keep your implant healthy and long-lasting.
