Expert Dental Implants In Clayton
Restore your smile and confidence with dental implants from Dunstan Dental. Our expert team provides durable, natural-looking implant solutions to replace missing teeth and enhance your oral health in Clayton, Victoria.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants start with screw-like anchors that are inserted as artificial tooth roots. They are made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, and are surgically placed into the jawbone, offering a stable base for artificial replacement teeth, such as dental crowns, bridges and dentures.
Types Of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth.
Multiple Tooth Implants
Used for replacing several missing teeth, providing a stable and permanent solution.
Implant Supported Bridges
A temporary bridge is placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
Implant Retained Dentures
Offering improved stability and comfort compared to conventional dentures.

Our Implant Procedure
Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for implants.
Treatment Planning: We create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia.
Healing Period: Over several months, the implant integrates with your bone in a process called osseointegration.
Crown Placement: Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, completing your new smile.
Caring For Your Dental Implants
We recommend following proper care for the longevity of your implants. This includes:
- Regular brushing and flossing.
- Routine dental check-ups.
- Avoiding hard or sticky foods immediately after implant placement.
- Avoiding smoking and drinking will improve the overall health and longevity of implants.
