Replacing missing teeth with care, comfort and the latest technology, right here in the Macedon Ranges.
A missing tooth changes more than how your smile looks. It can change the way you eat, the way you speak, and even how your jawbone holds its shape over time. Dental implants are one of the most established options for tooth replacement, designed to restore the function and feel of a natural tooth, not just the look of one.
At Market Street Dental, we offer custom implant restorations for patients who have already had implants placed elsewhere. Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, we provide the final stage of treatment, the custom made crown that completes the restoration or replacement crowns where needed. Each crown is carefully matched to the shade and shape of your surrounding teeth for a natural finish.
For patients who have previously had to travel for ongoing implant appointments, our local restoration service offers a more convenient way to complete or maintain their treatment.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is attached on top. The result is a tooth replacement that looks and functions much like the original. Implants may be a suitable option for:
Implant treatment generally follows these steps:
Your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes 3D scans, and reviews your medical history to work out whether implants are the right option for you. If deemed suitable, you may be presented with a treatment plan.
During this phase, dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. This titanium post acts as an anchor for the final crown restoration, similar to the roots of natural teeth.
The implant is left to heal and integrate with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. While healing time varies between patients, it typically takes around three months.
Once the implant has successfully fused with the jawbone and the area has healed, the final step is to replace the temporary restoration with a permanent crown. At our dental clinic, we provide the restorative phase of dental implant treatment, including placement and replacement of the implant crown.
The cost of dental implant crowns depends on factors such as the number of crowns required, type of implant restoration, and whether any preparatory treatment is required first. After your assessment, you’ll receive a clear written quote outlining all available options for your case, so you have all the information you need to decide whether
you’d like to proceed with any treatment.
Flexible dental implants payment plans can be arranged through Afterpay and Zip Pay, and all major health insurances are accepted via HICAPS.
With 3D scanning, digital treatment planning and same-day CEREC crown technology all set up at Market Street, missing teeth replacement and other restorative cases are planned and delivered locally.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the titanium implant post is designed to last for many years. The crown on top may need replacing after a period of wear. Smoking, gum disease and grinding can all affect how well an implant holds up over time. Your dentist will go through what longevity may look like for your specific case.
