Step 1: Complimentary Consultation and 3D Scan
We always begin with a complimentary consultation to get a full understanding of your dental health. During this visit, we’ll take a 3D CBCT X-ray to assess your bone structure, review your medical history, and check the condition of your gums. Additionally, we’ll take detailed photographs and digital scans of your mouth to plan the procedure meticulously.
Step 2: Financial Planning and Surgery Booking
Next, we’ll sit down to discuss the financial aspect of your treatment, including payment plan options that best suit your needs. If you’re considering accessing your superannuation early to cover the cost, we can assist with the application process. Once you’re happy with the financial arrangements, we’ll schedule the surgery. Many patients prefer to have the procedure under general anaesthesia for complete comfort, but if you’d rather stay awake, that’s an option too!
Step 3: Immediate Temporary Teeth
Here’s where it gets exciting! After your surgery, our expert lab technicians will immediately start crafting your temporary teeth. Within just three days, you’ll walk out with a full set of fixed teeth that allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence again. You won’t have to go without teeth while healing; this fast turnaround ensures you’re never left feeling uncomfortable.
Step 4: Permanent Teeth Placement
Three to four months later, once your gums have fully healed, it’s time for the final step: placing your permanent teeth. You’ll have the choice of materials, including durable acrylic or zirconia, combined with a supportive titanium bar. This allows you to select the material that best fits your needs, both aesthetically and functionally. The result? A natural-looking, strong set of teeth that feel just like your original ones.
Step 5: Ongoing Maintenance
Your new teeth aren’t the end of the journey—ongoing care is crucial. Every six months, we’ll clean your prosthesis to keep it in top condition. We’ll also replace the prosthetic screws every one to two years, ensuring your investment lasts as long as possible. Regular maintenance helps keep your smile healthy and fresh, so you can enjoy your new teeth for years to come.
