Dental Implant supported restorations in Glen Iris - Tooronga Family Dentistry in Glen Iris

Dental implants offer an effective solution for replacing missing teeth by being inserted into the jawbone to support fixed restorations, replace multiple teeth, or anchor removable dentures. They greatly enhance dental function and aesthetics. Like natural teeth, dental implants are firmly supported by the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, where the bone grows around and secures the implant. Once integrated, a dental implant acts as a stable replacement for the tooth root, providing a strong foundation for an artificial crown that restores the missing tooth’s form and function.

The typical treatment to replace a tooth with an implant involves three steps: implant insertion, attachment of an abutment, and placement of the crown. Implants can also serve to stabilize dentures, offering significant comfort improvements for many denture wearers who struggle with traditional dentures.

Dr. Daniel Kaufman has been placing and restoring dental implants since 1997, refining his skills through extensive hands-on training and international courses in Australia and Europe.

He also specializes in immediate implant placement, which shortens treatment duration and reduces the number of surgical interventions, creating a more comfortable patient experience without compromising outcomes.
