Looking for dental implants in Melbourne? At Wallan Dental, you’ll see the same experienced implant dentist, Dr Gagan Hira, from your first consultation through to your final crown, with the option of IV Sedation for a completely anxiety-free procedure.
An implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing a stable, permanent foundation for a custom-made crown that looks, feels and functions like your natural tooth. Our clinic is conveniently located in Wallan, VIC 3756, north of the CBD, offering Melbourne and regional Victoria patients a comprehensive, end-to-end implant solution from planning to placement to aftercare.
A dental implant Melbourne is a small, biocompatible (usually titanium) screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. Over a period of healing, the implant fuses with the bone, a process called osseointegration, creating a secure anchor.
Implants can be used to replace:
We use advanced 3D Cone Beam CT scans and digital imaging to assess your bone density and plan the exact placement of the implant. This meticulous planning is key to successful osseointegration.

The implant is left to heal and fuse with the jawbone, which typically takes a few months. During this time, you will wear a temporary restoration.

Once fully fused, a connector (abutment) is attached to the implant, followed by the placement of your custom-designed Porcelain Crown. The final result is a beautiful, permanent tooth replacement.

Bone density is assessed during the initial consultation using our 3D scans. If you have insufficient bone, we may recommend a bone grafting procedure first. This is a common and successful procedure that allows many patients who were previously ineligible to receive implants.

Implants replace the root of the missing tooth, preventing bone loss and standing alone without support from neighboring teeth. Bridges rely on filing down adjacent healthy teeth, and Dentures rest on the gums, which can lead to slippage and accelerated bone loss over time.
