Restorative dentistry
Dental implants in Auckland
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up, giving you back a tooth that looks, feels and works like your own. Implants are now offered at Supertooth Dental, and every one starts the same careful way: a full assessment of your gums and jaw, an honest chat about whether an implant, a bridge or a denture suits you best, and a written quote before anything begins.
What a dental implant is
An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up: a small titanium post sits in the jaw where the natural root once was, and a custom crown is fitted on top. It's designed to look and work much like your own tooth, and it leaves the healthy teeth either side completely untouched, which is why implants have become such a popular way to replace missing teeth.
Implant, bridge or denture?
An implant isn't the only way to replace a missing tooth, and it isn't always the best fit for every mouth or budget. A bridge uses the teeth either side of the gap to hold a natural-looking replacement in place (you'll find more on our crowns & bridges page), and modern dentures can restore anything from a single tooth to a full smile. Every option starts the same way here: an honest assessment, a chat about what suits your mouth and your budget, and a written quote before anything begins.
