Whether you are based in East Melbourne or commuting from nearby Richmond or Fitzroy, maintaining a healthy, aesthetic smile is easier than ever. At our clinic on Jolimont Road, Dr Leighton Phu takes a comprehensive approach to dental health, ensuring every patient receives tailored care. Our team focuses on providing evidence-based solutions that transform your daily quality of life.
Understanding the Difference
Enhanced Comfort and Function
Full dentures rely on suction, which requires them to be large and bulky to stay in place. In contrast, implant bridges are securely screwed into the mouth. Because they do not cover the roof of your mouth, you gain significantly more space for your tongue, which noticeably improves both speech and eating comfort.
Aesthetic and Durable Materials
While traditional dentures often utilise plastic teeth, implant bridges can be crafted using ceramic. This material is not only more aesthetically pleasing but also offers a much more durable, long-term solution for your smile.
Maintenance and Care
Unlike dentures, which you can remove yourself, an implant bridge is a fixed solution. However, if your bridge ever requires professional maintenance or cleaning, Dr Leighton can easily remove it for you during a scheduled visit.
We invite you to experience dedicated care at our East Melbourne practice. To discuss your needs, please call us on (03) 8820 1699 or book an appointment online today.
