In this blog,… View moreGetting dental implants has all sorts of horror stories attached to it, but, in reality, it is a simple process and not very painful.
Not many people will know about dental implants until they lose a tooth and need to replace it. The anticipation of the unknown makes people nervous.
In this blog, we throw light on what dental implants are and what to expect when you get them.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant procedure is when an implantologist surgically places an artificial tooth that is permanently fused in the jawbone. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots made of titanium. Once in place, natural-looking crowns can be fitted on top of them.
Previously, fixed bridges or dentures were used to replace lost teeth. However, these rely on the health of neighbouring teeth and jaws. Dental implants are a more robust replacement to these procedures.
Why dental implants are good?
For more confident smiles -- don’t let a broken tooth get in the way of your smile again! Dental implants look good and are more aesthetically pleasing than dentures or fixed procedures.
They are good for the health of your adjacent teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, they don’t need to be anchored to the teeth next to them. No more decay of otherwise healthy teeth.
More reliable as you are unlikely to forget them anywhere or need replacement.
What to expect during and after a dental implant?
You’ve probably heard about pain and the long recovery time from dental implants. However, not everything you have heard is true.
With fewer nerves, this procedure is less painful than getting a root canal and more like getting a filling. Your jawbone has very few nerves running through it, fewer than your teeth. That is why getting a dental implant isn’t as bad as it sounds.
Also, the mouth is the fastest healing part of your body, so any swelling of the gums is relatively fast to heal. To counter the little pain almost every surgical procedure has, local anaesthesia or sedation is given. Your dental specialist will discuss the best option for you.
One thing to be aware of is that getting dental implants is a long procedure. You will work closely with your dental team over a two to six months period to make and implement your dental implant treatment plan. Much of this treatment time is for healing and to allow the new bone to grow in your jaw.
How much do dental implants cost?
Dental implants cost in NZ vary depending on what you’re having done. From a single tooth through to a full set of implants, there is a range of costs. Every mouth is different too—some require tooth extraction, some people need bone grafts into the jaw, so the complexity of the surgery depends on the situation.
The cost of one dental implant and crown is between NZ$6000 and NZ$7000. This cost includes all the basic surgical requirements of your implant. However, the cost of dental implants shouldn’t put you off. It is a permanent solution that offers the best smile, self-confidence, and freedom to live your life how you want to.
At Auckland Family Dental, a number of finance options are also available, so the cost does not keep you away from the treatment you need.
Where can I get dental implants?
If you have lost a tooth and need it replaced, talk to the team at Auckland Family Dental. They have six clinics across the city and a highly experienced team to help you with a treatment plan that is right for you.
Extreme pain or discomfort in your teeth could indicate rotting teeth. But pain is not the only signal that you may require root canal treatment.

So, how… View moreExtreme pain or discomfort in your teeth could indicate rotting teeth. But pain is not the only signal that you may require root canal treatment.
Root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, can be life changing. It saves teeth damaged by decay, disease or injury from being extracted.
So, how do you know if you need a root canal? Are there telltale signs? Read below. Remember, best to leave it to a dentist to make a call on the best course of treatment for your discomfort.
Sensitivity to heat and cold
If it hurts when you sip a coffee or have ice cream, your teeth are sensitive. Generally, you’ll feel a dull ache. Sometimes the pain can also be sharp. However, if the pain persists for a long time, even after you’ve stopped eating or drinking, this could be a sign of deeper issue than sensitive teeth. Visit your dentist and get a thorough examination done.
Discolouration of your tooth
An infection in the pulp of your tooth may affect blood supply and cause it to become discoloured. Trauma to the tooth or breakdown of internal tissue can damage the roots and give it a greyish-black appearance.
There can be other reasons for tooth discolouration; best to let your dentist decide the cause and treat appropriately.
Swelling in gums
Swelling or tenderness in your gums can sometimes be an indicator for a root canal. It swelling comes in various forms and types. Whether it looks normal with some kind of tenderness or is an obvious lump that can be easily seen or felt, it often means that root canal surgery may be needed. If left unchecked, some cases, the swelling can even expand to the patient’s face or neck.
Typically, a swelling that leads to a root canal is quite pronounced and lasts for days or weeks. It is most likely situated in front of the root tip and causes the problem tooth to feel taller than the neighbouring ones.
Loosening teeth
Infection can affect tooth mobility, making it feel looser. Acidic waste products from nerve death can soften the bone around the root of a dying tooth, causing mobility issues.
Crack or chip in teeth
Contact sports or eating hard food are the most common ways to get a cracked or chipped tooth. This could expose nerves and lead to infection, possibly even spreading if it enters the bloodstream. A root canal, if your dentist recommends, could prevent the infection from spreading.
Pain
One of the key indicators of infection in the teeth is pain. It may be persistent, or may go away and return in some time. Toothache can be dull or even sharp. It may even spread around your jaw, face and to your head.
However, not every toothache is a signal that you need a root canal. It could even be a gum disease or a cavity. Perhaps it is a referred pain from an infected sinus or an impacted wisdom tooth.
No matter what the cause, it’s a good idea to see your dentist if you have tooth pain, especially if the pain is persistent. Early diagnosis and treatment for tooth pain typically leads to a better outcome
Conclusion
An infection inside your tooth’s pulp and root can be painful. If you have a toothache, that is persistent, or see any of the above symptoms, see a dentist to get the right diagnosis and treatment.
Early treatment of any infection can help curtail its spread and bring much-needed relief.

Despite of the satisfaction, it leaves you, have you ever thought it can damage your teeth?
Here are some facts you may want to consider when choosing your drink.
Wine - Wines are acidic and some of it contains high sugar level which causes potential damage on the enamel of the tooth.
Water is the safest drink you can have. Proper hydration can stimulate saliva production which prevents tooth decay. Coffee. Anything in excess can harm your teeth. One cup of coffee a day will not cause any harm to your teeth provided it’s sugar-free.
Milk is not just good for your bones, it’s also good for your teeth. It is full of vitamins and minerals that can make your teeth strong and prevent them from decaying.
Fruit juice. Commercial fruit juice is usually acidic and high in sugar which can potentially damage your tooth enamel. Try to limit your consumption or you can dilute a concentrated juice to lessen its impact to your teeth.
