Dental implants in Newport, VIC
Considering dental implants in Newport? Find out whether an implant is right for you. Start with a free consultation to discuss your suitability, treatment and individual costs.
A missing tooth. A considered next step.
A single tooth implant supports a replacement crown. If you are missing one or more teeth, a consultation can help you understand whether implant treatment is suitable.
Suitability comes first
Oral health, bone, medical history and healing all matter. Many people can have implants, but not everyone: medical history can rule them out, and some people need a bone or gum graft as part of treatment. Implant treatment involves surgery and has risks; these will be discussed with you before deciding on treatment.
How the implant process works
The stages and timing depend on your needs. Your dentist will explain your individual plan.
Guide
For suitable cases, a surgical guide made from your digital plan directs the implant to its planned position.
Place
Implant placement, usually about two weeks after planning, using the guided or non-guided technique selected for your case.
Heal
Healing and reviews come before the final restoration. Timing depends on your individual treatment.
Restore

Surgical guides
Where a case suits it, Dr Ahmed plans the implant position digitally on your CBCT scan and a 3D scan of your teeth. A surgical guide is then made from that plan and used during placement to direct the implant to the planned position. Guided and non-guided techniques are selected for each case.

Deciding
Is the implant consultation free?
Yes, the implant consultation is free.
Am I suitable for a dental implant?
Many people are, but not everyone. Bone, gum health, medical history and healing all matter, and some medical conditions rule implants out. Some people need a bone or gum graft as part of treatment. Suitability is worked out at your consultation.
What happens at the consultation?
An examination, an X-ray to check your bone height, a review of your medical and dental history and a talk through your options. You get a written plan and quote. If you go ahead, a CBCT scan and a 3D intraoral scan of your teeth are used to plan the implant.
Where is CBCT imaging done?
CBCT is a 3D X-ray of your jaw. It is done at an external radiology service, on referral from the practice. Your implant is then planned on the CBCT scan and a 3D scan of your teeth, with guided or non-guided techniques selected for your case.
Which implant systems do you use?
Dr Ahmed Ibrahim places DIO and PrimeTaper implant systems.
Treatment
What is a surgical guide?
A guide made from your digital plan that sits over your teeth during placement and directs the implant to the planned position. It is used where a case suits it.
Can an implant be placed the day a tooth is removed?
Sometimes, for front teeth only, when the site suits it. This is called an immediate implant. Whether it is an option for you is assessed at consultation.
Is implant placement painful?
Placement is done under local anaesthetic, and medication before and after surgery helps reduce pain and the chance of infection. Some tenderness afterwards is normal. Your dentist will discuss what to expect and how to manage it.
How long does treatment take?
It happens in stages: planning, placement, healing, then fitting the crown. Placement is usually about two weeks after planning, and healing comes before the crown. Your dentist will explain the timing for your treatment.
How many appointments are involved?
Typically a consultation, planning scans, placement, review visits during healing, then fitting the crown. A bone or gum graft, if needed, adds steps. The number depends on your case.
Afterwards
How do I look after an implant?
Like a natural tooth: brushing, cleaning between teeth and regular check-ups. Your dentist will show you what suits your restoration.
Can implants replace more than one tooth?
Yes. Implants can support a single crown, a bridge or a denture. Which option is suitable is assessed at consultation.
What if I have questions after treatment?
Call the practice on (03) 9399 3399. Review appointments are part of the plan and any concern can be looked at between them.
