Dental Implants have modernised the replacement of teeth in the past decade, with their range of use being suitable for the replacement of a single tooth, to the complete replacement of all teeth.
Victorian Dental Group offers a suite of options for replacing missing teeth that can best suit your budget. Dental Implantology is performed via our highly experienced team of General Dentists and Specialist Prosthodontist.
Here at Victorian Dental Group we offer our patients a wide-range of Dental Implant options that include:
Where one tooth is replaced next to two healthy teeth)
Where several teeth next to one another are needing to be replaced)
Where some/all teeth are replaced and the denture anchored and held in placed with a set of dental implants. Click to learn more

Dental implant procedures involve a surgical element that places the implant into your mouth. Your Victorian Dental Group dentist will work with you 1-1 to determine whether your procedure is best suited to be carried out under local anesthesia, or in hospital under general anesthesia.
Usually, a typical Dental Implant is carried out over three key stages. An example of the steps involved for our patients is as follows:
Review of examples of implants and the options that are best suited to you. We will also obtain and review special X-rays required for implant placement (CBCT) and formulate your treatment plan.
This is where the metal part of the implant is placed. A typical implant consists of a fixture made of commercially pure titanium, which eventually fuses to your jaw bone, much like a replacement knee or hip would.
based on your own tooth anatomy and natural bite– a custom made porcelain tooth (or teeth) is attached to the implant or denture, locking it into place.
There are many reasons why our patients decide to undergo a dental implant procedure. The main reasons include,
Long Term: The dental implant is a long term and often a permanently fixed unit that requires minimal additional oral care.
Can improve on appearance and speech quality.
Cost-effective in the long term: Dental implants can range from $3000 – $5000 typically. Whilst the initial cost of a denture is often cheaper, they often need replacing at many times over the life-span.
Maintains natural bite and comfort
Improves chewing ability: Dental implants are just like your natural teeth and can withstand the forces of chewing harder foods.
No Cavities: As the implant replaces the entire tooth structure, our patients likely never have to worry about getting cavities filled or painful root canals in this tooth.
Tired of a denture or appliance. No more rubbing or ulcers forming. Once healed, dental implants feel and look like natural teeth.
