Dental Implant Treatment

What is a Dental Implant Treatment?

What are the benefits of Dental Implants?

• Preserve facial appearance: When you lose a natural tooth, the jawbone will undergo shrinkage and may cause your face to look older. Dental implants can stop this process and in some cases, they help maintain the shape of the face.

• Eat what you want: Implant-supported replacement teeth are like natural teeth because they are anchored securely in your jaw. This allows you to eat your favorite foods in comfort and confidence.

• Preserve healthy teeth: With traditional practices, two teeth adjacent to a missing tooth must be ground down to anchor a bridge. Dental implants often eliminate the need to modify healthy teeth.

• A solution for life: A dental implant and ceramic crown or bridge offers a long lasting solution, often for life.

• More comfortable: Because dental implants are securely anchored, there is no slipping or movement as there is with dentures. This eliminates some of the key worries of dentures, including poor fit, gum irritation, and pain from exposed nerves.

• Boosted self esteem: With dental implants, you’ll never need to cover your mouth when laughing, smiling, or speaking. You can eat your favorite foods without pain or fear of embarrassment – and taste every bite. You’ll look and feel great and improve '

Soft Liners

Soft Denture Liners

Patients who constantly suffer with discomfort from their dentures may benefit from a soft liner. These individuals may have a low threshold for pain, and/or the gum tissue that overlays jaw bone is usually thinner than normal and does not resist pressure well. When such tissue is compressed between hard jaw bone and hard denture plastic, pain is easily elicited. Replacing one of these hard interfaces with a soft denture liner helps eliminate or reduce this painful tissue compression.

Advantages of Soft Liners.

• A gentle and kinder denture interface for those individuals with sensitive underlying tissues.

• The soft denture liner tends to compress and conform to a constantly changing jaw bone surface. While this helps prevent pain from a moderately unbalanced bite resulting from jaw bone shrinkage, it is not a long-term substitute for regular adjustments to balance a denture bite.

Disadvantages of soft tissue liners.

• Soft denture liners continually deteriorate and collect microorganisms easily; therefore, they are generally replaced on an annual basis.

• Generally more expensive than a conventional hard denture.

Partial Dentures

What are Partial Dentures?

Through out the course of life, natural teeth are lost for many reasons, including gum disease, tooth decay, and accidents.

Having missing teeth can pose severe consequences including:

• Loss of chewing efficiency

• Uneven wear on remaining teeth

• Tipping, migration, and over eruption of teeth adjacent
   to the empty space

• Loss of bone structure in the jaw

• Speech difficulty

• Temporomandibular Joint disorder (TMJ)

• Loss of facial muscle tone

• Poor esthetic appearance

Metal Partial Dentures

Advantages of Metal Partial Dentures.

The metal/acrylic partial—commonly called a cast partial - is usually a more comfortable style of denture, due to its lightweight and precision fitting frame.

The metal is either a highly compatible chrome cobalt alloy or titanium, which are both ultra thin, light and very strong.

Disadvantages of Metal Partial Dentures.

Disadvantages of Flexible Partial Dentures.

The most recent advance in dental materials has been the application of nylon-like materials to the fabrication of dental appliances. This material (the most common name brand is ValPlast) generally replaces the metal, and the pink acrylic denture material used to build the framework for standard removable partial dentures. ValPlast is similar to the material used to build those fluorescent orange traffic cones you sometimes see on highways. It is nearly unbreakable, is colored pink like the gums, can be built quite thin, and can form not only the denture base, but the clasps as well. Since the clasps are built to curl around the necks of the teeth, they are practically indistinguishable from the gums that normally surround the teeth.
