It can be due to sporting accidents, illness or disease amongst a great\nmany other number of reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we have lost a tooth, a lot of us feel like\nwe cannot get it back as it was and will have to opt for a removable device\nthat can be uncomfortable and cumbersome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northernbeachesdental.com.au\/\">dentist in Mackay<\/a>\ncan offer you a treatment plan that can bring back your old smile permanently.\nWith the use of dental implants, we are able to not only retrieve the original\nand beautiful appearance of your smile, but we can also allow you to maintain a\nstandard of oral health that is appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is having a full set of teeth a good thing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is really important for your oral health and\noverall well-being to maintain a full set of healthy teeth. We do everything we\ncan to restore damaged or unhealthy teeth by placing crowns on them or filling\ncavities caused by decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that you have lost a tooth,\nreplacing it as quickly as you can will limit any chance of injury to\nsurrounding teeth and the exposed gums. You will have a higher risk of\ninfection at the site of the missing tooth as hard food particles can damage\nthe sensitive tissue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surrounding teeth can destabilise over time which\ncan lead to further tooth loss. As more of these surrounding teeth are exposed\nto bad bacteria, the likelihood of plaque build-up and tartar is a very real\nsituation that needs to be considered as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What can we do to help?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dentist in Mackay will thoroughly examine your\nmouth and determine whether you are suitable for a dental implant. By using\nmodern digital scanning technology, we are able to precisely pinpoint the exact\nlocation of the implant so that it perfectly resembles the original tooth root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This minimises healing time, maximises comfort\nand greatly reduces the chance of rejection. Your implant will then have a bespoke\nceramic crown fitted onto it either at the same time of the surgery or after a\nperiod of healing time, depending on the individual circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This crown is uniquely created to fit in\nperfectly with your surrounding teeth and will match them in shape, colour and\nsize. You should be able to bite and chew with ease and not tell the difference\nbetween it and your original tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By seeking advice&nbsp; with a <strong>dentist in Mackay<\/strong> you can get on track to getting back your old smile again.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay, we make it our priority to provide you with a service that is both bespoke and professional.
