Dental implants are the most natural way to replace missing teeth. Made of titanium, dental implants are designed to replace the root structure of missing teeth, providing support and stability for replacement teeth. They are the longest-lasting solution available.

As with any surgery, you need time to heal. However, you will not leave our office without teeth! A temporary set of teeth will be placed on your implants. Once the healing process is complete, your permanent teeth will be placed at a follow up visit approximately six to eight months after surgery.

In most cases, implants can be placed and a temporary tooth made at the same time the tooth is removed. In other cases, implants are placed and require several months to heal before the final tooth is placed. The dental implant procedure usually takes 3 months for the lower jaw and 6 months for the upper jaw for the implant to fully integrate with your bone. However, everyone heals differently, but our specialist doctors will closely monitor your treatment progress.

This is essentially the answer to your question, "do dental implants hurts?" Local anesthesia will numb the nerves surrounding the dental implant area. With numbed nerves, you can expect not to feel any pain during your dental implant procedure. You may feel pressure at times, but it should not cause you discomfort.

Veneers and crowns cover the problem teeth by surrounding them with a material that looks like real teeth. They use the root and the inside of the tooth as a basis, then fix it with special adhesives. Veneers and bonding improve your smile by bonding a layer of smoother and whiter materials such as porcelain or resin to the natural tooth. Talk to your dentist about which fix is ​​right for you.

There are several different options available for changing the shape of your teeth. You can choose to make your teeth appear longer, seal in between your teeth, or repair a chipped or cracked tooth. Options include bonding, crowns, veneers and reshaping. Tooth bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin material (a durable plastic material) is applied to the tooth surface and cured with a special light, ultimately "bonding" the material to the tooth. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped "caps" that are placed over teeth. Crowns, when bonded in place, cover the entire visible part of the tooth above and below the gum line. Veneers (also called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are thin, custom-made tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These shells are attached to the front of the teeth. Reshaping or reshaping teeth (also called odontoplasty, enameloplasty, stripping, or thinning) is a procedure in which small amounts of tooth enamel are removed to change the length, shape, or surface of a tooth. Each option differs in the cost, durability and "seat time" required to complete the procedure and the best cosmetic approach to solving your particular problem. We would be happy to discuss which one is right for you.

Because of their exceptional durability and strength, zirconia restorations generally last longer than porcelain. While porcelain crowns usually need replacement after a few years, zirconia crowns have shown a 99 percent survival rate after five years. ... However, zirconia is multicolored and highly translucent

Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection of the gums and supporting bone structure, which, if left untreated, can lead to permanent jawbone destruction and possible tooth loss. Untreated periodontal disease has been associated with an increased risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke, low birth weight infants, preterm birth, respiratory disease and prostate cancer. An advanced stage of periodontal disease indicates inflamed gums moving away from your bone and teeth. Other signs of periodontal disease include: Bad breath Red or swollen gums Loose teeth or moving teeth Sensitive teeth Pus from around the teeth Pain when chewing Tender gums bleeding Treatment of early periodontal disease can be done in the office. However, advanced stages may require surgery. Periodontal disease can be prevented and successfully treated by seeing your dentist and dental hygienist regularly and following recommended care plans.

A dental bridge is a replacement for missing teeth. If you have lost any teeth, you may have been left with a series of unsightly gaps. If the gaps are not filled with replacement teeth then there is a risk of bone loss ( ‘bone resorption’), which can impact your facial appearance. A bridge acts as an anchor for two crowns and consists of a false tooth called a ‘pontic’ which sits between the two crowns. The ‘pontic’ is inserted into the gap made by the missing tooth, and is flanked on either side by the two crowns. The crowns fit over your natural teeth on either side of the gap. The two anchoring teeth are called ‘abutment teeth’. The ‘pontic’ can be made from porcelain, gold, alloy or any combination of these materials. A bridge can prevent bone loss, gum disease or decay caused by the presence of food debris in the gap created by the missing tooth, and it will relieve pressure on the teeth either side of the gap. An enamel-bonded bridge uses a metal or porcelain framework to attach the artificial teeth which is then resin bonded to the supporting teeth. If you stick to a healthy oral regime, such as brushing twice a day, flossing and regular check ups, your bridge can last for up to 15 years. A dental bridge can give you a natural looking appearance as well as resolving any ‘bite’ problems that you may have. But be aware, it can cause your teeth to feel a bit sensitive for the first few weeks after it has been fitted. Your dentist will discuss this form of treatment with you as well as assessing your suitability for crowns or bridgework

Cavities puncture tooth enamel and will likely enlarge unless you fill them with a filling. Your dentist will numb your mouth before drilling around the cavity to prepare the cavity. A combination of strong materials or a white mixture called composite enters the cavity smoothly and hardens as it dries. Fillings can last a long time once set, but if they break or wear out they will need to be replaced.

Dental amalgam is a filling material used by dentists to restore the proper size and shape of decayed or damaged teeth. It is an alloy containing silver, tin, copper and liquid mercury. It was the most used filling material in the world until tooth-colored composite resin appeared. Amalgam is the most extensively researched and tested of all filling materials. Despite controversy over its mercury content, no health disorders or diseases associated with mercury have been found. The FDA, CDC, and World Health Organization consider dental amalgam a safe dental material. If you are unsure whether amalgam is right for you, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each filling material with your dentist.

It is an oral plaque support designed to prevent problems such as abrasions and slippage in the jaw that may occur as a result of problems that may occur after results such as jaw clenching and teeth grinding during sleep. The night guard is a custom-made, thin, acrylic device that, when worn, protects the teeth from the damage of grinding or clenching. It can also help relieve headache symptoms associated with teeth grinding and clenching.

Moderation is key: occasional teeth whitening is usually not a problem; however, if it is used too often, the enamel or root structure of the teeth may be damaged. Your dentist will recommend an appropriate whitening program. Whitening performed under the control of a dentist does not harm the teeth. Otherwise, we would not do this practice both to ourselves and to our loved ones.
