People who have neglected getting dental treatments because of fear surrounding dental visits may feel like they are alone, but dental anxiety is a very common problem. Nearly half of Americans have neglected important dental care because they feel such intense stress when it comes time to schedule or show up for an appointment.
Supra-gingival (above the gum) minimally-invasive dentistry provides healthier dental treatments. Supra-gingival procedures apply modern advances in materials and dental techniques that are healthier for the patient’s teeth and gums, less painful because they are minimally-invasive and produce more beautiful results because more of the natural beauty of the original tooth structure is left to shine through.
Dental implants have become the preferred method to replace missing teeth. In fact, over 3 million people in the United States have dental implants and that number is growing by 500,000 annually. Here’s why millions of people are replacing their missing teeth with dental implants.
Dental implants are prosthetics that serve as the roots of missing teeth. The implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and are made of titanium. The implants fuse with your jawbone and the titanium materials won’t decay like your natural teeth can.
Dental implants are prosthetics made of titanium alloy that replace the root of the tooth and support a prosthesis. These prosthetics, once anchored to a healthy bone, provide reliable stability for the patient’s new teeth. Implants are suitable for patients who have lost one, several, or all of their teeth. They contribute towards improving your physical appearance and ability to chew.
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.
Your teeth were intended to last a lifetime, but sometimes they don’t. Making the decision to replace missing teeth is important to your general health and to the health of your other teeth. Not only do you lose the ability to chew when a tooth is lost, missing teeth can cause other teeth to be lost, crowded and create future problems.
If you’ve lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease or injury, thank your lucky stars you don’t live in colonial times when George Washington-style wooden dentures were your only option for tooth replacement. There are several modern options available, although the procedure that’s right for you will depend on a variety of factors. To help you decide, here are the pros and cons of two of the most popular tooth replacement options: dental implants and crowns.
Neuromuscular dentistry is an approach to dental treatment that focuses on the correction of jaw misalignment. Our neuromuscular dentist can determine the optimal position of the jaw in order to correct misalignment and adjust how the upper and lower teeth come together (occlusion). By realigning the jaw joint through the use of cosmetic dental restorations, tooth recontouring (equilibration) or orthodontics, our dentist strives to alleviate stress from the jaw muscles and eliminate painful symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).
Dental Implants have several benefits which include:
