Dental Today Highlights Options For Tooth Replacement And Teeth Straightening In Auckland

Dental Today, based in Onehunga, is informing the public about current dental treatment options for those seeking tooth replacement or orthodontic care in the Auckland region.

Dental implants are increasingly used to address the loss of teeth due to injury, decay, or other causes. At Dental Today, the surgical placement of titanium dental implants in Auckland is managed by experienced clinicians. The process involves securing a screw-like implant into the jawbone, which serves as a root for a replacement tooth. This treatment is typically conducted in two stages, with a healing period between the initial placement and the final restoration. Implants may also be used to support bridges or dentures, and local anaesthesia is used during the procedure.

For patients interested in orthodontic treatment, Dental Today offers clear braces through the Invisalign system. Introduced to New Zealand in 2005, Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to gradually reposition teeth. The aligners are custom-made using 3D computer modelling and are changed approximately every two weeks. Treatment duration varies, generally ranging from several months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the case. Invisalign is suitable for adults and teenagers seeking a less visible alternative to traditional metal braces.

Dental Today provides consultations to evaluate patient suitability for both dental implants and clear aligner orthodontics. The clinic’s dental professionals discuss individual needs, expected treatment timelines, and maintenance requirements with each patient.
