Dental Implants
Implant dentistry is one of the most exciting developments in dental technology over the past few decades and we are extremely pleased to be able to offer this service to our patients.
This treatment works by filling the grooves and fissures in your back teeth that are hard to clean properly through regular brushing and flossing. A thin plastic coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of these teeth to fill these grooves, creating a smooth, easy-to-clean and virtually invisible shield of protection against tooth decay. If you’d like to know whether this is right for you or your child, talk to our dental clinic in Mackay.
Here at Northern Beaches Dental, we only use top quality dental implants made from the best medical grade titanium alloy. Titanium has a high compatibility with your natural jawbone and over a period of 3 to 6 months will gradually integrate with your bone during a process called osseointegration.
With dental implants, you can enjoy the sensation of having teeth that will feel and function just like your own. They can be used to restore single or multiple teeth in the form of crowns and bridges and a system called dental implants to replace multiple teeth can restore a complete arch of teeth using very few dental implants. If you’re seeking reliable, long-term tooth implant results in the Mackay area, our trusted dental team in Mackay is here to help restore your smile with care and expertise.
The Implant Process
A small titanium post is inserted into the jawbone during a short surgical procedure. This will be used to support a new tooth. Once in place, the implant must heal and integrate with the surrounding bone, a process that typically takes three to six months. We will provide a temporary prosthesis for use during the healing process that will be replaced with your new implant tooth once healing is completed.
