Or feel free to ask your dentist to make a referral if you are unsure.
Also known as Periodontitis, gum disease is caused by inflammation which leads to the destruction of the supporting bone around teeth (eventually leads to the loss of a tooth or several teeth). It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults
Gum recession occurs when the gum line pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots and leading to sensitivity, a “long-tooth” appearance and increased risk of decay.
Dental implants are a long-term fixed tooth replacement option, allowing you to eat, smile and speak with confidence. Whilst they can be very durable, long terms solutions we also treat complications such as inflammation or infections that can arise.
This is an option where all teeth are replaced with an implant supported prosthesis. Our philosophy is to save teeth, not pull them out, but if required, we are the only specialist clinic in Tasmania providing this complex treatment.
