Implants & Bridges in New Lambton
Losing your teeth may limit your chewing. Missing teeth can also lead to further oral health problems and impact your bite force. At New Lambton Family Dental, our friendly and 
compassionate team wants to help you restore your smile, improve your oral health and boost your dietary selection.
Our New Lambton, NSW dentist, Dr Maria Paez holds no judgments and only wants what is best for your confidence and future oral health. We want to help repair your missing teeth and we offer crowns and bridges to help you regain your smile and improve your oral health.
Dental Implants Crowns for a New Smile
A dental implant is considered by many to be the most realistic tooth replacement available today because it replaces your tooth and the root as well. Dental implants are thin posts implanted in your jaw. These posts are designed to bond with your jawbone much like a natural tooth root. After healing, this implant is capped with a dental crown.
At New Lambton Family Dental we specialize in the restorative phase of dental implants. While we do not perform the surgical placement of implants, we work closely with trusted implant specialists who handle that part of the process. Once the implant surgery has been completed, we’ll take care of the next step: restoring your smile with a custom crown designed to fit seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental implants can also support a denture or a dental bridge; generally, it only takes a few dental implant posts to offer this level of support.
In some cases, if your jawbone is compromised, bone grafting may be required. If your sinus does not allow room for an upper dental implant, a sinus lift may also be required.
With proper at-home care and regular dental exams and cleans, dental implants can last years or even a lifetime.
If you're considering dental implants, we'll guide you through every step of the journey, from referring you to a skilled implant specialist to providing expert restorative care once your implant is ready.
Dental Bridges and CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Dental bridges in New Lambton, NSW are a time-tested solution to tooth loss. A dental bridge is designed to close or “bridge” the gaps where teeth are missing.
Dental bridges are held in place with specialised dental crowns atop healthy adjacent teeth. The artificial tooth fills in the gap and the adjacent teeth secure the bridge and restoration tooth.
Dr Paez will customise your dental bridge to blend in with your smile, colouring and shaping the bridge components to fit the contours of your mouth.
Are You Ready for Your New Smile?
We look forward to your call and will work hard to book your restoration exam during a time that doesn’t interfere with your hectic schedule.
