St Heliers, New Zealand - June 8, 2021 /PressCable/ —

Natural Smile eastMED Dental in St Heliers, Auckland is announcing the launch of its dental implant services. Orakei residents interested in the implant process can turn to Natural Smile eastMED for a thorough consultation.

The launch of Natural Smile eastMED Dental clinic’s dental implant services means residents in St Heliers, Orakei and other nearby regions can access the treatment they need to remedy missing teeth.

The team caution that implant surgery is not for everyone. Patients with gum and jaw bone issues may need to seek the services of a periodontist to ensure vulnerable bone and tissue are not further compromised, which can lead to long-term difficulties and expense.

For these reasons, every potential gum implant candidate will begin their process at Natural Smile eastMED with a general dental consultation. Once these procedures confirm the patient is a good fit for the implant process, they will be seen by a specialist who will further assess their dental health in order to create a personalized treatment plan.

An implant is a small titanium screw similar in size to a natural tooth. The screw is placed in the client’s jaw bone and then covered with a ceramic or porcelain crown that looks identical to a natural healthy tooth.

The process maintains bone structure integrity after tooth loss, preserving the health of adjacent teeth while functioning naturally.

Benefits of implant placements many people wouldn’t consider are the natural processes that occur once the procedure is complete. Implants help prevent remaining teeth from shifting or becoming loose, can stimulate bone growth to prevent bite collapse and can support other dental appliances such as bridgework.

When properly cared for, implants last a lifetime.

Led by Dr. Dave Richards, EastMed Dental has been serving residents of St Heliers and Orakei for years. Find out more at https://nz.news.yahoo.com/best-dentist-st-heliers-mission-044300905.html

In 2017 Natural Smile eastMED updated its equipment to the latest in state-of-the art technology to address all patient needs. With the launch of the clinic’s implant services, Natural Smile eastMED is providing a welcome solution to residents who can now take that first step in reclaiming a healthy, natural smile.

Carlo Paalam defeats Zhang, assured of bronze in Asian Games

MANILA, Philippines — Olympic silver medalist Carlo Paalam advanced to the semifinals of the 2026 Asian Games men’s 55-kilogram (kg) boxing event after defeating Jiamao Zhang of China via split decision on Monday afternoon in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Paalam almost spent a year outside of the ring and even skipped the 2025 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand—proving that he’s hungrier than ever to top his 2018 bronze finish at the Jakarta Asian Games.  The 28-year-old Paalam opened the first round strong after sending his opponent to the ropes, allowing three judges to score in his favor. The 27-year-old Zhang started to counter Paalam’s attack in the second round, dictating the first minute. However, Paalam changed his game plan and landed better blows, showing he was not overwhelmed by China’s attacks. Paalam gained four nods of the judges in the second round. Frustration showed on Zhang’s side as he tackled Paalam to the ground in the third round. However, Paalam remained tactical and threw one-two punches and made more jabs to secure his win.

Eala dominates Thai foe to begin Asian gold bid on a high

MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino tennis ace Alexandra "Alex" Eala began her 20th Asian Games gold medal bid on a high note after dominating Patcharin Cheapchandej in the round of 16, 6-1, 6-0, at the Nagoya City Higashiyama Park Tennis Center Indoor Court C in Japan Monday afternoon. The second round match was supposed to be played outdoors at the Show Court but was moved indoors due to rains. The inclement weather also delayed the match for about five hours. The delay did nothing to bother the world No. 18 and tournament top seed Eala, who jumped on No. 505 Cheapchandej to dictate the match for the rest of the way. Raring to bounce back after a shock second round exit in Singapore last Thursday, Eala bageled Cheapchandej in the second set capped by a booming ace to close the match. Eala faces world No. 142 Joanna Garland of Taiwan in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. Garland defeated Mandegar Farzami in their round of 16 clash. Eala also competes in the doubles side with Shaira Rivera, as they face the Hong Kong tandem of Lai Ching Laam and Liu Kallista in the first round on Tuesday. Rivera got off to a winning start in the mixed doubles with Francis Alcantara as they defeated the Iranian duo of Meshkatolzahra and Kasra Rahmani, 6-4, 1-6, 10-8, last Sunday.

Nesthy Petecio bows to Chinese foe to cap Asian Games campaign

MANILA, Philippines — Two-time Olympic medalist Nesthy Petecio ended her podium bid in the 2026 Asian Games campaign after losing via unanimous decision over Chinese foe Chengyu Yang on Monday afternoon in Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Petecio, the most-bemedalled Filipina boxer, initially gunning for a podium spot in this edition, as this is her third time competing in Asiad. She flexed her southpaw stance early in the opening frame and exchanged volume of punches against Yang. However, despite Petecio making a combination of an uppercut, a straight punch, and an overhand left, she received a one-point deduction that allowed the Chinese to earn the five nods from the judges. Yang was less aggressive in the second frame, and Petecio switched things up after starting with an orthodox stance. The Filipino pug had a clean right hook, but it was not enough to impress the judges. Petecio loaded up her punches in the final round, hoping to win via stoppage. The Chinese boxer was playing smartly and was not engaging in the first minute, despite Petecio scoring a left hook. However, Yang managed to stay alive in the final round. Petecio earned a silver medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, followed by a bronze in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine men's sepaktakraw regu team fell to Malaysia in the semifinals, 15-10, 11-15, 7-15, to settle for a bronze medal in the 20th Asian Games at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Gymnasium in Japan on Monday. Captain Jason Huerte, Reynaldo Asilum Jr., Jom Lerry Rafael, Glindel Phori and Ronsited Gabayeron could not sustain their strong start as they lost steam especially in the third set. The Malaysian team were composed of captain Aidil Aiman Azwawi, Muhammad Aifuddin Mohd Razali, Muhammad Zulkfifli Abd Razak, Mohamad Azlan Alias, and Mohammad Syahir Mohd Rosdi. A win against the Malaysians would have sent the Philippine men's team for a shot at gold like its women's counterparts.

PH women’s sepak takraw team secures Asian Games final spot, eyes historic gold

Lao says sorry for Asian Games mess

MANILA, Philippines — Despite barely warming his seat as president of the Philippine National Volleyball Federation (PNVF), Frank Lao is taking full responsibility and accountability for the lack of financial support for the national athletes competing in the 20th Asian Games. In a statement on Monday, Lao issued a humble apology to the Alas Pilipinas men’s squad — particularly team captain Bryan Bagunas — following his revelations about the severe lack of federation backing heading into this prestigious continental showcase. Lao, a distinguished businessman and chairman of Strong Group Athletics, admitted that upon stepping into office last month, he inherited a depleted treasury burdened with roughly P25 million in liabilities and outstanding payables. Compounding the crisis, financial assistance from the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) remains frozen following the suspension and withdrawal of support by the International Volleyball Federation and the Philippine Olympic Committee last June — a fallout that effectively choked off the allowances of athletes preparing for the Asian Games. With that, Lao has begun digging into his own personal resources to settle federation debts, clear unpaid coaching salaries, and cover foreign travel expenses. In fact, before the Alas Pilipinas Men flew to Nagoya, he personally distributed P20,000 in pocket money to each player and shouldered the round-trip airfare for late addition Owa Retamar.    “As president of the PNVF, I take full accountability for what happened to the allowances of both Alas Pilipinas Men and Women squads as well as the beach volleyball teams,” said Lao, who stayed until the wee hours of Monday trying to figure out how to solve this financial crisis and stabilize the morale of the athletes competing in the Asian Games.  “After taking over the PNVF in the middle of August, we were left with nothing but more than P25 million in debt. We are now starting to pay all the coaches, settle travel trips, and clear other payables that the federation owes them.” The PNVF had been mired in toxic leadership disputes long before Lao secured the presidency during the August 10 special elections at the Solaire Theater Southlinks Boardroom.    Yet, rather than pointing fingers or making excuses, Lao is turning the page and calling on stakeholders to rally behind the athletes. “Ako na ang humihingi ng pasensya na nagkulang kami. Pero bigyan nyo kami ng pagkakataon na makabawi sa inyo,” Lao said, displaying a rare corporate humility in the face of an administrative mess created and left by his predecessors. “Just give me some time po. Sa akin ito bilang presidente ng PNVF. I take this responsibility. Sorry po.” TMT
