Implant
At Gleam Dental we have the experience, skills and care you require to gently place Dental Implants without going elsewhere.
Implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium that are inserted in the jawbone to replace missing natural teeth. This is done painlessly in the dental chair with local anaesthetic and if you wish happy gas or light sedation.
Implant supported teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. Dental implants prevent jaw bone shrinkage following the removal of a tooth.
Dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth. When all teeth are missing they can be used instead of dentures. When dentures are loose and uncomfortable, dental implants are the most effective way to support them improving the comfort and stability.
Dr.Sherlock has an Honours Degree from Sydney University, completed A1 year Dental Implant Master Program from UCLA University in LA, United States, has placed more than one thousand dental implants with over 20years experience.
We can advise you on a suitable implant treatment plan, gently perform the placement of your implants and restore the implants following their integration. This is all done in at our surgery in Ballina without the need to travel or be referred.
For thorough assessment and your safety, Dr.Sherlock uses his in house Cone Bean CT scanner, a 3D X-ray of your teeth and jaws, to evaluate the safety of placing implants and avoiding vital structures such as nerves sinuses and teeth roots.
