SINGLE TOOTH DENTAL IMPLANT - WEST AUCKLAND

Dental Implants

A variety of corrective measures are available to replace missing teeth, including dental bridges, partial dentures, and dental implants. Among these options, dental implants have demonstrated an exceptional success rate and are considered simple, effective, and long-lasting.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges involve the attachment of an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth with a crown, requiring drilling into the adjacent teeth and ultimately connecting two or more teeth together. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are removable devices made of acrylic +/- metal and replace only the missing teeth. While full dentures replace all teeth, they can cause discomfort and embarrassment due to movement while speaking or eating.

Single tooth implants

Single tooth dental implants – West Auckland are a more popular choice for single tooth replacement as they avoid the disadvantages of dental bridges and partial dentures. This procedure involves fixing a titanium screw below the gum, acting as the root of the replacement tooth which is fixed on top. The crown is firmly attached to the implant so it will not move at all during eating or drinking. This method does not compromise the structural integrity of any other tooth as it does not depend on the neighboring teeth.

What are the steps?

The single tooth implant procedure comprises four steps.

  1. The dentist will take a CT x-ray to obtain a clear image of the existing teeth and jaw.
  2. The titanium implant is placed after administering local anesthesia (with optional sedation if required).
  3. The implant osseointegrates (bonds) to the bone over a period of approximately 3 months.
  4. The definitive ceramic tooth is fitted and the teeth can be used as normal. Maintaining good oral health and regular hygiene appointments is essential to keep implants and gums healthy.

Testimonials

I first went to Titirangi dental in Feb 2022 with a terrible tooth ache. Luke and the team not only helped me get that tooth back to good health but have worked closely with me on gum issues since. I like that Luke talks me through each step before, during and after which helps me stay informed. I also appreciate the they provide options for treatment. I avoided dentists for my whole adult life to my own detriment. Each time I went in, it left me not feeling the best and they didn’t take a holistic approach but that has changed now.

Amazing clinic with a great team, the friendly receptionist and supportive team makes my dental visit comfortable experience. Morgan Scanlan, she is an amazing dental hygienist, she is caring and kind. Dr Luke Simpson is very professional and respectful, he handles patient with a great patience and caring.
