If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth then dental implants are the best step forward you can take to recreating your perfect smile.
Dental implants help restore the natural appearance and function of your mouth and avoids the inconvenience and embarrassment of dentures.
Dental implants are based on artificial tooth roots made of titanium, which are implanted into the bone of the jaw using a simple and painless procedure. Over a few months, the titanium fuses with the bone and creates a secure foundation. Once that happens, a small pillar or abutment is screwed into the titanium implant to complete the foundation. Natural-looking porcelain crowns are then fitted over the pillar, creating a strong tooth which blends in perfectly with your natural teeth in shape, size, colour and fit.
This can occur with just one or all teeth. Dental implants are a lifetime solution that I was fortunate enough to perfect the skill of from the Father of Dental Implants, Dr Leonard Linkow in New York. I also learned new dental implant surgery and bone grafting techniques in Seoul, South Korea with one of the pre-eminent researchers in the field, Dr Carl Misch.
In that time, I realised that Dental Implants were tomorrow’s solution today for missing teeth. Smiles recaptured forever.
This year, 2009, marks the 20th anniversary of dentArtistry. Since 1989, we have carved a niche as an expert cosmetic dental practice that combined the science of dentistry with the art of radiant smiles.
Along with the various hairstyles of myself, my team and you, a lot has changed in those twenty years with new developments and technologies arising in the field of dentistry. Because so much has changed, we have had to keep up a cycle of continual education to ensure that you receive the best dental care possible.
Something that hasn’t changed in the time we’ve been operating is that we deliver advanced treatment, using the latest dental techniques and technology to each visitor to our practice. We make sure that each has a 5-star experience and receives 5-star results.
Will we still be here in 2029, twenty years from now? Who knows, but what I can guarantee you is the world of dentistry will continue to evolve and we will evolve with it.
Did you know that there is a Federal oral health plan, Australia’s National Oral Health Plan 2004 – 2013?
The purpose of the plan is to improve the health and wellbeing across the Australian population by improving oral health status and reducing the burden of oral disease. The Plan aims to help all Australians to retain as many of their teeth as possible throughout their lives, have good oral health as part of their general good health.
The plan notes that approximately $3.7bn was dental services in the year 2002, representing 5.5% of total health expenditure. Most of this money was spent on repair instead of prevention.
At dentArtistry, we are experts at cosmetic and restorative dentistry but we know that health begins at home. By having a good oral hygiene regime you will prevent the onset of dental problems before they get significant. Regular check-ups will enable us to spot cracks in your teeth or stop the start of tooth decay.
The country has a plan to make your mouth healthy. You are part of that plan. Start today by brushing, flossing and rinsing and visiting us for a check-up.
