  • Dental Bridge

    Dental Bridge

    Dental Bridges

    Dental bridges are restorative dental devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between them. They consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help restore the function of chewing and speaking, while also improving the appearance of the smile. They provide a durable, long-lasting solution for tooth loss, helping to maintain the structure and alignment of the surrounding teeth.

    Why Choose Dental Bridges?

    Here are four reasons to choose dental bridges:

    Dental bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly by filling the gap left by missing teeth, improving overall oral function.

    By replacing missing teeth, bridges help maintain the natural alignment of the surrounding teeth, preventing them from shifting out of place, which can lead to bite problems.

    Bridges improve the appearance of the smile by replacing missing teeth with natural-looking prosthetics, enhancing both confidence and aesthetics.

    Made from strong materials like porcelain or metal, dental bridges offer a reliable and long-lasting solution, often lasting many years with proper care.

    How Do Dental Crowns Work?

    Consultation

    Consultation and Examination

    The dentist begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays or scans, to assess the teeth and determine if a dental bridge is the best option. A personalized treatment plan is then created based on the patient’s oral health needs.

    Tooth Preparation

    The teeth adjacent to the missing tooth (called abutment teeth) are prepared by removing a small portion of enamel to make room for the crowns that will support the bridge. Local anesthesia is typically used to ensure patient comfort.

    Impression and Temporary Bridge

    After the teeth are prepared, impressions or digital scans are taken to create a custom-made bridge. While the permanent bridge is being fabricated in a dental lab, a temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth.

    Dental_checkup

    Permanent Bridge Placement

    Once the custom bridge is ready, the temporary one is removed, and the permanent bridge is fitted and adjusted for proper fit and bite. The bridge is then cemented in place, restoring the patient’s smile and oral functionality.

    The process begins with a thorough examination and consultation, including X-rays and 3D imaging to assess bone density and structure. The dentist creates a customized treatment plan to determine the optimal placement of the implants.

    Implant Placement

    During the surgical procedure, four dental implants are strategically placed in the jawbone. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure patient comfort.

    Temporary Prosthesis Attachment

    After the implants are placed, a temporary prosthesis is attached to the implants, allowing patients to leave the office with a functional set of teeth while the implants heal and integrate with the bone.

    Final Prosthesis Fitting

    After a healing period of a few months, during which the implants bond with the jawbone, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent custom-made prosthetic arch, providing a natural look and feel. Regular follow-up appointments ensure proper fit and function.

    FAQs

    The entire procedure typically takes one day, with the implant placement and the attachment of a temporary prosthesis happening during the same appointment. Final adjustments and the permanent prosthesis fitting occur after the healing period.

    Most patients experience mild discomfort for a few days after the procedure, but many can return to regular activities within a week. Full healing and integration of the implants with the jawbone may take a few months.

    The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so patients should not feel pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

    With proper care and regular dental check-ups, All-on-4 implants can last 10 to 15 years or longer, making them a durable and effective solution for tooth replacement.

  • Surgical Tooth Extraction

    Surgical Tooth Extraction

    Surgical Tooth Extraction

    Surgical tooth extraction is a dental procedure used to remove a tooth that cannot be easily accessed or extracted through a standard extraction method. This may be necessary for teeth that are impacted, severely decayed, or broken below the gum line. During the procedure, the dentist makes an incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and may need to remove some surrounding bone to facilitate extraction. Surgical extractions typically require local anesthesia and, in some cases, sedation to ensure patient comfort throughout the process.

    Why Choose Surgical Tooth Extraction?

    Here are four reasons to choose surgical tooth extraction:

    Surgical extraction is often necessary for impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, which may be trapped beneath the gum line and can cause pain or infection.

    When a tooth is extensively decayed or broken and cannot be restored, surgical extraction provides a way to eliminate the source of infection and pain.

    Surgical extraction may be required for teeth affected by significant gum disease or bone loss, where traditional methods are ineffective.

    In some cases, surgical extraction is performed to create space for orthodontic treatment, allowing for better alignment of the remaining teeth.

    How Does Surgical Tooth Extraction Work?

    Consultation

    Preoperative Evaluation

    The dentist conducts a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth’s condition and plan the extraction. Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure the patient is comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.

    Incision and Access

    The dentist makes an incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and may remove any surrounding bone if necessary. This step allows for better access to the tooth that needs to be extracted.

    Tooth Removal

    Once the tooth is fully exposed, the dentist carefully removes it from the socket. If the tooth is impacted, it may be divided into smaller pieces to facilitate easier extraction.

    Closure and Aftercare

    After the tooth is removed, the dentist cleans the area and may stitch the gum tissue to promote healing. Postoperative care instructions are provided to help manage discomfort and ensure proper recovery.

    FAQs

    During a surgical tooth extraction, you will receive local anesthesia or sedation to ensure comfort. The dentist will make an incision in the gum, remove any necessary bone, and then extract the tooth. The entire process typically lasts about one to two hours.

    Recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can expect some swelling and discomfort for a few days. Complete healing of the extraction site may take a few weeks, and follow-up care will help monitor the healing process.

    As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, dry socket, or damage to nearby teeth and nerves. However, these complications are relatively rare, and your dentist will provide instructions to minimize risks.

    Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and activities for at least a week. Your dentist will give specific recommendations based on your individual case.
