We implant a small titanium screw into the jawbone during a very simple operation. This would then hold a crown or a row of dentures or bridges if you\u2019ve lost more than one tooth. This would leave you with a very natural feeling alternative that wouldn\u2019t compromise on look or functionality of your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>An <strong>emergency dentist in Mackay<\/strong> will ensure you are fully taken care of from taking x-rays to ensure we can see the full extent of any damage, giving local anaesthetic if required, fully cleaning and sterilising the site of injury to reduce infection, look at restoration of teeth or the extraction of teeth if they are damaged.
