Multiple Teeth Implants
Multiple dental implants are a treatment option for people missing two or more teeth. Dental implants are small screw-like posts placed into the jawbone — to act as replacement roots. Once healed, these implants provide a secure and stable foundation for your dentist to attach custom-made restorations, such as bridges or crowns.
At the Periodontics & Dental Implant Specialist Centre, we specialise in the surgical placement of the implant screws. We use Roxolid®, a zirconium–titanium alloy designed for strength, durability, and excellent integration with bone. After your implants have healed, your general or restorative dentist will complete the process by attaching the visible teeth replacement to the implants.
We use Roxolid® implants, a zirconium–titanium alloy specifically developed for dental implantology. Roxolid® combines the biocompatibility of titanium with the added strength of zirconium, making it stronger and more durable than pure titanium implants.
This strength allows us to use smaller diameter implants without compromising stability. For patients, that means a less invasive procedure, faster healing times, and the possibility of treatment even when bone volume is limited. Roxolid® also promotes reliable integration with the jawbone, supporting long-term success and durability.
By choosing Roxolid® implants, you benefit from advanced materials designed to improve outcomes and ensure your implants remain strong and stable for years to come.
Multiple tooth implants are suitable for many patients, but certain factors help determine the best outcomes. You may be a good candidate if:
- You are missing two or more teeth – whether side by side or in different areas of your mouth.
- You have healthy gums and adequate bone density – strong bone structure is needed to support the implants.
- You are in good overall health – conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect healing.
- You are committed to oral hygiene – regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits are essential to protect your implants.
- You prefer a stable, long-term solution – implants are designed to last and offer greater comfort compared to removable dentures. /li>
At Periodontics & Dental Implant Specialist Centre in Melbourne, your suitability is assessed through a thorough consultation, including dental imaging and a discussion of your health history, to ensure that implants are the right choice for you.
At the Periodontics & Dental Implant Specialist Centre, our role is to carefully and precisely place the dental implants into your jawbone. The procedure usually involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation We begin with a thorough assessment of your oral health, including digital scans and 3D imaging. This allows us to plan exactly where your implants will be placed.
- Treatment Planning Your periodontist designs a personalised plan, ensuring optimal positioning of the implants for long-term stability.
- Implant Placement Surgery The implants, made from Roxolid® (zirconium–titanium alloy), are gently inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. These act as artificial roots for your new teeth.
- Healing and Osseointegration Over the next few months, the implants fuse with your natural bone — a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation.
- Handover to Your Restorative Dentist Once the implants are fully integrated, you return to your general or restorative dentist. They will attach the visible replacement teeth (such as bridges or crowns) to complete your smile.
When comparing multiple tooth implants to dentures or bridges, implants offer several important advantages:
- Protect Your Jawbone Implants replace the missing tooth roots, which helps stimulate and preserve the jawbone. Dentures and bridges only replace the visible teeth and cannot stop bone loss over time.
- Stronger and More Stable Implants are anchored directly into the bone, making them feel and function like natural teeth. Dentures can slip, and bridges rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
- Protects Healthy Teeth Bridges require grinding down healthy teeth to hold the bridge in place. Implants stand independently, leaving surrounding teeth untouched.
- Long-Lasting Solution With proper care, implants can last decades. Dentures often need relining or replacement, and bridges may fail if supporting teeth weaken.
- Improved Comfort and Confidence Implants feel secure when speaking and chewing, without the worry of dentures moving or adhesives failing.
The cost of multiple tooth implants can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Number of implants required – more missing teeth may mean additional implants.
- Complexity of your case – dental bone grafting or other preparatory procedures may be needed to ensure the implants have enough support.
- Type of implant material – we use Roxolid®, a premium zirconium–titanium alloy designed for strength and long-term success.
- Stage of treatment – our team focuses on the surgical placement of the implants and the dental implant surgery. The final restoration (bridges or crowns) is completed by your restorative dentist and will be quoted separately.
While implants generally involve a higher upfront cost than dentures or bridges, they are designed to be a long-term investment in your oral health. Because they preserve bone and can last for decades with proper care, many patients find implants to be the most cost-effective solution over time.
Are multiple tooth implants covered by health insurance?
Some private health funds may contribute towards the surgical placement of implants, depending on your level of cover. It’s best to check with your provider to confirm what is included in your policy.
Why are implants more expensive than dentures or bridges?
Implants involve advanced materials, surgical precision, and long-term planning. While the upfront cost is higher, implants are designed to last for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacements or adjustments.
Do I get a quote before treatment?
Yes. After your consultation and assessment, we’ll provide a detailed treatment plan with costs for the implant placement. Your restorative dentist will also provide a separate quote for the final crowns or bridges.
Are payment plans available?
If upfront costs are a concern, we can discuss staged payments or finance options to help make treatment more accessible. Please ask our team about the available payment arrangements when you book your consultation.
