A dental implant is a small, screw-shaped post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once placed in the jawbone, it bonds with your natural bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture fitted by your general dentist or prosthodontist. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants prevent bone loss, restore full chewing function, and deliver a natural-looking smile that can last decades with proper care.
At our Melbourne clinic, implant surgery is carried out by specialist periodontists who ensure each step of the process is safe, precise, and tailored to your needs.

At the Periodontics & Dental Implant Specialist Centre in Melbourne, we specialise in the surgical placement of dental implant screws. We use Roxolid® implants, a high-performance zirconium-titanium alloy designed to combine the strength of titanium with the biocompatibility of zirconium. This material allows for strong, reliable implants while preserving as much of your natural bone as possible.
Here’s what to expect during the implant process with us:
- Consultation and Assessment. We begin with a thorough consultation, including digital X-rays or 3D scans, to evaluate your jawbone and oral health. This ensures you’re a suitable candidate and helps us plan your implant placement precisely.
- Personalised Treatment Plan. Our periodontists use advanced imaging to map the exact position for your Roxolid® implant screw. If preparatory treatments such as bone grafting or sinus lifting are needed, we’ll explain these before surgery.
- Implant Placement Surgery. Under local anaesthetic, a small opening is made in the gum and the Roxolid® implant screw is placed into the jawbone. This is a minor surgical procedure, and most patients report only mild post-operative discomfort.
- Healing and Osseointegration. Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration. This creates a stable and long-lasting foundation for the restoration.
- Final Restoration by Your Dentist. Once healing is complete, your general dentist or prosthodontist will attach the abutment and custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. We focus on the surgical expertise of placing the implant screw, while your dentist completes the visible part of your new tooth.
Not all implants are the same. At the Periodontics & Dental Implant Specialist Centre, we believe patients deserve the very best when it comes to long-term results. That’s why we use Roxolid® implants, an advanced zirconium-titanium alloy developed specifically for dental implant surgery.
Key benefits of Roxolid® implants:
- Stronger than pure titanium. Roxolid® combines titanium’s durability with zirconium’s added strength, creating a material that is up to 50% stronger than standard titanium implants. This makes it ideal for patients with limited bone volume.
- Maximises bone preservation. Because Roxolid® is stronger, implants can be made smaller in diameter without compromising stability. This allows us to preserve more of your natural bone, reducing the need for bone grafting in many cases.
- Excellent biocompatibility. The material is designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural bone, helping achieve reliable osseointegration and long-lasting stability.
- Proven clinical success. Roxolid® implants are backed by extensive research and have demonstrated high success rates, making them one of the most trusted solutions worldwide.
By choosing Roxolid® implants at our Melbourne clinic, you’re investing in a solution that combines advanced science with surgical precision — giving you the best chance of a strong, stable, and natural-looking smile that lasts.

Replace several missing teeth with implant-supported bridges. If you’re missing several teeth, multiple tooth implants or implant-supported bridges can restore your smile with strength and stability. Anchored by implants, this solution prevents bone loss and provides a more secure alternative to traditional partial dentures. Learn more
In some cases, patients may not have enough healthy jawbone to support a dental implant immediately. This can happen due to tooth loss, gum disease, or natural bone resorption over time.
At the Periodontics & Dental Implant Specialist Centre in Melbourne, our specialists provide bone grafting procedures to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone.
Sometimes patients do not have enough bone volume to support dental implants due to various reasons as the followings:
- History of gum disease (loss of bone support from periodontitis)
- Dental trauma
- Severe bone resorption following extraction
- Wait for too long following extraction
- Wearing dentures for long term
- Narrow jaw bone in nature
Therefore, bone augmentation or grating procedures are required before or at the time of implant replacement. The aim of this procedure is to replace missing bone with a material called a bone graft. Over time the newly formed bone will replace most of the grafted material.
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on your individual needs and the complexity of your treatment. Key factors that influence pricing include the number of implants required, the type of prosthetic restoration used (such as a crown, bridge, or full arch), and whether additional procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift are needed to support the implant. Advanced planning tools like 3D imaging are also part of the process, ensuring precision and long-term success.
While dental implants are an investment, they offer unmatched durability, stability, and function — often lasting decades with proper care. We take the time to assess your oral health and goals before providing a clear and transparent treatment plan.
We’ll provide a personalised quote after your initial consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no hidden costs.

Dental implants are a good and long-lasting solution for many adults with missing teeth — but not everyone is an immediate candidate. Generally, good candidates for dental implants have healthy gums, adequate bone density in the jaw, and are in good overall health. Age is rarely a limiting factor, though younger patients may need to wait until jaw growth is complete.
If you’ve experienced bone loss or gum disease, you may still be eligible for implants with the help of pre-treatments like bone grafting or periodontal care. Our team will assess your unique situation using 3D imaging and a thorough clinical exam to ensure implants are safe and suitable for you.
Quick eligibility checklist:
- One or more missing teeth
- Healthy gums or managed periodontal condition
- Adequate jawbone (or willingness to undergo bone grafting)
- Non-smoker or committed to quitting
- No uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g. diabetes)
