Root canal therapy is becoming increasingly advanced, benefiting both the patient and the dentist. Thanks to recent technological improvements, you can now have a root canal completed without invasive or painful surgery. These are some of the best advances that dentists are currently using to improve the root canal process.
Traditionally, if you did not have sufficient bone mass in your jaws, the only option was bone graft surgery to regenerate enough bone mass to create a sufficient foundation for traditional dental implants. Now there are revolutionary dental implant techniques that eliminate the need for bone grafting altogether. Zygomatic Implants are a graftless dental implant technique where the implant is directly embedded in your cheekbones (referred to as Zygoma), where there is enough bone support for the implants.
For several people, fear overrules the need for important dental work. Avoiding the dentist makes most dental issues even worse. There are people who show up on the day of their appointment that are so worked up with fear and anxiety that they tense up and make even a simple procedure difficult for themselves and their dentist.
If you worried about losing your teeth, needing dentures or you have difficulty eating the foods you love then you may be a great candidate for All-On-4® full arch dental implants. All-On-4® dental implants are a revolutionary process that can give you a full set of fixed teeth in single day!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that dental implants can be life changing. Implants immediately increase comfort and confidence when smiling, speaking, and eating, and patients report looking better, feeling better, and having a renewed outlook on life. Fortunately, there are options available for people interested in dental implants, including All-On-4® dental implants.
If there are two words that strike the most fear into the hearts of dental patients, it’s these: root canal. But while you may have heard rumors about how terrifying they are, root canals are relatively painless and extremely effective procedures – not to mention, completely commonplace. According to the American Dental Association Survey of Dental Services Rendered, over 15 million root canal treatments are performed annually in the United States.
If you’re afraid of the dentist, you’re not alone. But did you know there’s a way of overcoming the fears that may have kept you from visiting your dentist? Using the techniques of sedation dentistry, your dentist can ease your apprehension and make the entire experience pain-free.
Tooth loss is typically attributed to trauma, gum disease, advanced age or oral care. It can result in the need to replace one or several teeth. Dental implants are an ideal way to restore your missing teeth and improve your overall oral health.
Recent advancements in dental technology have made it easier than ever to achieve a full-mouth transformation without having to resort to ill-fitting dentures. If you need a full upper or lower arch of teeth replaced, All-On-4® dental implants might be right for you.
Perhaps there is no other healthcare profession like dentistry that has the unfortunate reputation of wanting to cause pain rather than prevent it. For all the good that dentists do to improve our well being, there are many patients with fears about sitting in the dentist’s chair.
Maybe it has something to do with not liking sharp metal objects put into your mouth or a distaste for fluoride, no matter how strongly the hygienist insists it is “cherry flavored”. But whatever the reason, there are many people (young and old), who have dental anxiety.
The All-on-4® treatment was developed to provide edentulous patients with an efficient and effective restoration. The reason why the treatment is so effective is because it only uses four implants: two straight implants in the anterior and two angled implants in the posterior to support a provisional, fixed and immediately loaded full-arch prosthesis.
