Say goodbye to your missing teeth problems and hello to a perfectly full smile with dental implants in Townsville. Our experienced team of dentists provides affordable solutions for missing teeth.

Implants are biocompatible restorations that serve as artificial tooth roots. When installed, they can support a permanent restoration and are more durable than healthy teeth.

Since implants are set into the bone, they help preserve natural tooth spacing and are non-invasive to neighbouring teeth. When cared for properly, your new implant should last the rest of your life. Plus, they’re just as easy to maintain as the rest of your teeth.

Reasons to Replace Missing Teeth
Losing a tooth creates a gap in your bite. Over time, adjacent teeth start to tilt or shift due to the extra space. Replacing your tooth preserves normal spacing patterns, so that you’re less at risk for tooth wear, TMJ disorder, worn teeth, etc.

What to Expect During Implant Treatment
Getting dental implants does require a few separate appointments, since the prosthesis needs to integrate with your mouth. Usually, Dr. Vikram ...

Types of Implants
At Dental Precinct we can use implants to restore one or all of your teeth. The restoration process is the final step to topping off your newly installed dental implants. Depending on your situation, you can choose between a crown, bridge, or implant supported denture.
