What solutions do Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay offer for missing teeth?

Many people experience the stress of a missing tooth at some point in their lives, and at Northern Beaches Dental we fully understand how upsetting this can be for our patients.

However, there is no need to despair, as here, at Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay, we have a range of solutions available to you, in order to give you back a full mouth of teeth. We are a professional and fully accredited practice, and always ensure that our patients receive their dental treatment in a comfortable and modern environment.

We understand that teeth can be lost for a multitude of reasons, such as from gum disease, old age, or accidents involving having your mouth knocked. We are always compassionate when administering to the needs of our patients, and will take the time to go through and explain all the options available to you. This is so that you have all the facts available in order to choose the treatment that best fits your circumstances.

We can offer such solutions as crowns, bridges and dentures for missing teeth, and also proudly offer top quality dental implants.  Implants are designed to help secure replacement teeth into your gum, so that they feel and function just like the real thing!

What are crowns, bridges and dentures?

Our dentist in Mackay is able to offer all of these types of tooth replacement treatments here, at Northern Beaches Dental.

A crown is used to repair a single damaged tooth. Our dentist in Mackay will remove the damaged part of the tooth and will then prepare it to support your crown. Crowns are made of porcelain so that they blend in with the colour of your remaining natural teeth. They are tightly fitting, so that they help prevent your tooth from further infection or decay.

Bridges are used when multiple teeth need replacing and are held in place by crowns. Bridges help to prevent teeth from moving and provide more stability than traditional dentures.

With either of these treatments, your ability to eat and drink will be restored to normal, as well as your teeth being stronger and having improved stability.  Such treatments will help you regain the shape of a natural tooth, giving your appearance and confidence a boost. Throughout your treatment with us, we collaborate with our skilled dental technicians in order to ensure that we create a smile that is just right for you.

Dentures are made to fit comfortably over your gums and resemble the appearance of real teeth and gums, in order to recreate the look of a natural smile. Dentures are made of a hard wearing substance and are another option where there are multiple missing teeth.

How can dental implants help?

Having implants, before you have crowns, bridges or dentures fitted, is a modern solution to replacing missing teeth. Small metal screws, made of titanium, are implanted into your jaw in the place of the missing tooth. Once established, the bone gradually bonds with the implants, creating a stable and secure base for artificial teeth. We can then fix crowns, bridges and dentures onto the implants in order to create a natural looking smile. This is now often considered the most popular choice for replacing teeth, as it is a long lasting and natural looking solution.

So, if you are looking for solutions to missing teeth, don’t hesitate to get in touch with your dentist in Mackay, here, at Northern Beaches Dental, and we will be happy to help!

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
