How do dental implants work at 740 Dental?
Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support crowns or bridges. They restore function and the appearance of your smile.
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with good oral hygiene are candidates. Some may require additional procedures, such as bone grafting, to proceed.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The process can take 3–6 months, depending on healing time. It includes consultation, surgery, healing, and final restoration.
How long do implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last many years—or even a lifetime—making them a long-term investment in your smile.
What are veneers, and what types do you offer?
We offer both porcelain and composite veneers to correct discolouration, chips, gaps, and more. SmileFast veneers are also available for quick results.
What is SmileFast composite veneer treatment?
SmileFast is a rapid, minimally invasive composite veneer system that enhances your smile in as little as one or two visits.
What can I expect from Invisalign treatment?
Most patients complete Invisalign in 6–8 months. We use digital scans and planning to create clear aligners that gradually straighten your teeth.
What do emergency dental services cover?
We treat severe toothache, broken fillings, lost crowns, bleeding gums, and more—providing fast relief through a dedicated emergency consultation.
How is dental hygiene performed at 740 Dental?
Our hygienists use gentle techniques to clean your teeth, remove plaque, and provide personalised advice to maintain your oral health.
