Dental Implants Auckland

A titanium dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it has healed and integrated with the bone, it can support a custom-made replacement tooth.

Titanium dental implants are often used to replace:

• A single missing tooth

• Several missing teeth

• A full arch of missing teeth with more advanced solutions

They are a popular option because they are:

• Secure and stable

• Natural-looking

• Designed to function like a real tooth

• Helpful in supporting long-term oral health

Titanium Dental implants

• Replace the missing tooth root

• Do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support

• Feel more secure and natural for many patients, and look and function like natural teeth
  

Suitability

Not everyone is a candidate for titanium dental implants, as bone quality and oral health determine whether they will result in a good outcome. During your consultation you will be made aware of whether they are a good option for you, and if not, what alternative options are available to to replace your missing tooth (or in the case of several, fix missing teeth).

All on 4 Dental Implants

• All-on-4 dental implants are for people who have lost most or all of their teeth, or alternatively, who are tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures. Using four titanium implants, we can securely support a full arch of beautiful, natural-looking replacement teeth.

• Unlike traditional dentures, your new teeth are fixed in place, allowing you to smile, speak, and enjoy your favourite foods with greater confidence. For many patients, a temporary set of teeth can even be fitted on the same day as implant surgery, so you don't have to go without a smile during treatment.
  

We will talk you through the options and recommend the most suitable treatment for your needs.

Our approach to dental implants is careful, personalised, and focused on achieving a result that looks natural and functions well for the long term. We plan each case thoroughly, considering not only the missing tooth, but also the surrounding teeth, gums, bite, and bone support.

If you’re after an Auckland dentist that does dental implants, you need a specialist who can craft a titanium dental implant supporting your aesthetic goals, and is has expertise in their field. Dr. Matt is a Founding Member of the NZ Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

We place strong emphasis on:

• Detailed treatment planning

• Creating a result that feels stable and comfortable

• Matching the final tooth to your natural smile

• Supporting both function and appearance

• Clear communication at every stage of treatment

Where needed, treatment may involve multiple steps to ensure the healthiest and most predictable outcome.

So long as they are provided by a specialist dentist with expertise in titanium dental implants, dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution, and can last many years with the right care. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, gum health, general health, and habits such as smoking or teeth grinding.

To help your dental implant last as long as possible:

• Brush and clean around it carefully every day

• Attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene visits

• Keep your gums healthy

• Follow any maintenance advice provided by your dentist

• Wear a splint if grinding is a concern

With proper care, dental implants can be an excellent long-term investment in your smile.
