Affordable Dental Implants Auckland - Save $2,000 Natural Smile Dental in St Heliers Auckland announced the launch of a new dental implants and crowns service. In line with this announcement patients are offered a significant $2,000 saving According to the owner, Dr Dave Richards, the price of a dental implants deal is not always what it seems, because an implant needs a dental crown placed on top of it. The offer is also on their Facebook page "True health benefit" as a method of replacing teeth, because, unlike crowns or bridges, they avoid the extensive drilling away of healthy tooth tissue necessary for crowns or bridges. Whenever a healthy tooth is a drilled down, the tooth is in effect damaged by the process. This damage can traumatise the tissues inside the tooth resulting, for example, in root canal treatment. If the tooth remains untouched, as it would be if an implant was used instead of a bridge, then no trauma occurs and this is highly unlikely that the tooth would require any other treatment. Research shows that over 1/3 of front teeth drilled for crowns or bridges require root canal treatment within 10 years.
