What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are a reliable way of replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium base upon which a tooth coloured crown can be attached. One or more teeth may be replaced by dental implants.​

​

How is the procedure performed?
Dental implants are usually placed painlessly in the dental chair during a regular dental appointment. Alternatively, implant treatment can be performed in a day hospital under general anaesthetic. Dr  Ladakis operates regularly at an inner Melbourne private hospital.

​

Treatment Duration
Depending on the procedure, patients usually need a few days rest after the surgical placement of an implant. Following this, 2-3 months of healing are usually required before the final tooth is placed over the top.

​

What is the cost involved for a Dental Implant?
A consultation from Dr Ladakis is first required to assess your circumstances. The cost for a consultation is AUD $125 and appointments can be made by calling (03) 9654 2919.
