Todays advanced dental treatments and materials can give you a healthier and more complete smile that can last you a lifetime, and at Naenae Dental Clinic they can help revitalise and maintain your teeth and gums, giving you the smile you've always wanted.

If you have one or more missing teeth or have broken or decayed teeth that might be beyond repair, dental implants are usually the answer, using modern techniques, implants are made to look and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible. This can greatly improve your speech, comfort while eating, self-esteem, and smile aesthetics.

A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This acts like a root replacement and allows the dentist to mount a custom-made crown on top to replace the missing tooth. Two or more implants can be used to support a bridge to replace multiple teeth. Both front and back teeth can be replaced by implants, and they can also be used to hold dentures in place. Because implants fuse to your jawbone (with a process called osseointegration), they provide stable support for artificial teeth.

Naenae Dental Clinic’s principal dentist, Dr. Hamid Al-Hassiny, has undergone extensive training worldwide and is astute in implant surgery. He takes a conservative approach to assess if implants are appropriate, and planning the position and number of implants is key to the long-term health of the dental implant, since forces on your teeth created during chewing can be significant.

The position of implants is determined by the position and angle of surrounding teeth. By using computed tomography (3D x-rays), computer aided designed simulations, and surgical guides called stents, Dr. Hamid is able to guarantee the best possible longevity and success of your dental implants, so to see if dental implants are right for you  and to find out more about tooth extraction, dental hygienists, teeth whitening Wellington and dental crowns please go to http://naenaedentalclinic.co.nz .
