Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Dental Implants

CMDental Ltd

A successful Dental Implant Placed by Dr Martin J Cribbin at CM Dental ltd in Henderson, replacing a lower left molar which had fractured and could not be root filled.
Where there is sufficient bone the dental implant can offer a better solution than bridge work as there is no damage to the teeth adjacent by cutting them down to create space for the bridgework.
