Do you have a root canal that you’ve had that you’re worried about, that you’re worried it might be infected, or it’s still hurting, or the gums sore around it, or you’d like to know if it is infected or if there is still a problem, even though you’ve had a root canal? Well, I’m Dr David Cowhig, founder of Dental Wellness, and we’ve been fixing root canal problems with all-ceramic replacements, and that’s using zirconia, all-ceramic dental implants. And we’ve been doing that for 15 years.

I placed my first, and I think I was the first Australian dentist in Australasia to place a ceramic implant back in 2008. So, 15 years on, we’ve had a lot of experience with safely removing infected root canals, first of all, identifying them and using high-technology cone-beam CT scans. And then doing a safe protocol of safely removing, if that’s what you want – safely removing that infected tooth using components of your own blood to accelerate healing and get optimal healing. Then, placement, sometimes immediate, but sometimes delayed, of a ceramic implant, which then, six months later, is restored with an all-ceramic crown – an abutment. So the abutment is something that screws into the implant that emerges through the gum, and then we’re able to put a really lovely looking crown that looks like a real tooth.

And that’s the benefit of ceramic implants. They have no soft tissue inflammation around them. You don’t get the reaction and metal ion release you might do with titanium implants. The body likes them; the soft tissue likes them. And really, it’s taking again treating the patient as a whole.

For the last 20 years, I’ve been a holistic dentist who looks at the whole body’s health. So when we place or deal with any patient, we’re looking to optimize not only your oral health but your general overall health as well because we accept the fact that the health of your mouth has a big impact on the health of your body. So, if you’re struggling with issues that may be related to an infected root canal, then we will work with you in a holistic philosophy to get the optimal result, the optimal smile. And that’s with the latest technology to identify and treat you in the best possible way.

Now I’ve set up a short test that will not only give you more information but I’d like you, if you’re interested, to find out more about zirconia implants. Click HERE to take the short test, and then we’ll tell you how we can help and fix your root canal problems using ceramic implants.

Keep Smiling,
