What Implant Solution is right for you?

Another consideration when receiving dental implants is the type of restoration to be used in conjunction with them. For the individual replacement of single teeth, implants will simply act as the roots of each missing tooth to be crowned. This is generally a good option when replacing one or two teeth, or replacements that are in different areas of the mouth. For multiple teeth in a single area, however, larger restorations may only need two implants for support. A dental bridge, for instance, can be supported by one implant at each end, allowing it to span a larger area while replacing all teeth between the implants. For patients who have a healthy natural tooth that may be used for support, only one dental implant may be needed for a bridge.

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Picture a tooth — the kind you might see on an old-fashioned dentist’s sign. It has two main parts: The crown (the pearly-white part that shows up when you smile), and the root, the part below the gum line that anchors the tooth in the jaw. A dental implant permanently replaces the root part of the tooth with a special metal insert that’s placed in the jawbone with minor surgery. A crown restoration — that is, a prosthetic tooth that’s created to look and function just like your natural teeth — is then placed atop the implant. Together, they make an implant a complete tooth replacement system.

What’s so great about this system? Essentially, it’s the fact that the titanium metal of which the implant is made has a very special property: It can integrate (fuse) with the living bone of your jaw, a process called osseo-integration. That’s what allows an implant that has been properly placed to remain looking good and functioning well for a long, long time. And isn’t that what everyone wants from their teeth?

In part one of our Toothbrush Tips series, you learned how to properly store and maintain your toothbrush to keep germs at bay. Now we'd like you to know some common don'ts when it comes to toothbrush use and when it's time for a replacement.

DON’T BRUSH WHERE YOU FLUSH!

Try to store your toothbrush as far away as possible from the toilet. This is because each toilet flush sends a spray of bacteria into the air and I’m sure you don’t want that near your open toothbrush! We recommend at least 3 feet!

I ONLY WANT ONE OWNER!

Don’t share! Forget what your kindergarten teacher told you about sharing. When it comes to toothbrushes, it’s an absolute no! No matter how close you may be to that person, whether it’s your sibling or spouse, don’t ever use their toothbrush.

IT’S TIME FOR US TO SAY GOODBYE!

The American Dental Association recommends getting a new toothbrush about every three months.

This also depends on the wear of the bristles. It’s important to judge when it’s time for a replacement based upon the bristles, so don’t mark it in your calendar, just keep a look at your bristles.

So what is your toothbrush trying to tell you to help prevent germs?

KEEP ME CLEAN AND DRY!

It’s important that you use your toothbrush correctly. Always make sure to rinse it in tap water and give it time to air dry. Germs need moisture to survive, so as long as you give your brush enough time to dry before using it, you should be fine. Make sure not to leave any toothpaste or debris in the head of your brush, rinse it well!

STORE ME UPRIGHT!

When you’re at home, store your toothbrush upright in a cup or toothbrush holder. This allows it to air dry, which will help kill those germs. On the road? When traveling make sure to keep your toothbrush in a travel holder, that way it isn’t rolling around uncovered and collecting bacteria in your bag. If you really want to be in the clear you can soak your toothbrush in a toothbrush sanitizer or in mouthwash. Another alternative to killing germs is dipping your toothbrush in boiling water for 5-10 seconds. Don’t ever attempt to microwave or dishwasher your toothbrush, these appliances will damage your toothbrush!

Here at Implant Solutions Today, I am often asked about mini implants. They are less expensive and easier to place, so why are they not being used more often? This is actually an involved question, and I will start my answer by revealing a second name for mini implants. They are also referred to as Temporary Anchorage Devices or TADs. As both names reflect, these types of implants are small and designed to be temporarily used for movement of teeth or maintaining a denture or bridge until a proposed implant site becomes infection free or enlarged through grafting.

Financing!!

There are companies such as Care Credit that finance dental work, allowing a patient to receive implants and make monthly payments along with the applicable fees and interest. The main requirement to qualify for the loan is a decent credit score. Since they are the longest-lasting restoration option and typically do not require continuing dental work in the future, financing the cost can be a great way to afford implants.

Insurance Coverage!!

Some dental insurance carriers do not cover implants because it is considered a cosmetic procedure, but company policies continue to change. Some dental insurance providers are starting to offer to pay up to the cost of similar, but less expensive procedure such as bridge or partial dentures. Insurance coverage will usually include procedures that restore functions that are compromised by the pain caused by missing teeth. If dental implants are the only procedure that can bring your oral health back to normal, then your insurance will probably cover at least a portion of it.

There are many serious dental health problems that are associated with missing teeth. For instance, missing even just a single tooth can make it difficult to eat the foods that you love. In addition, when you are missing teeth, it's common for bone loss and gum recession to occur in the area of the tooth gap. The teeth adjacent to the tooth gap can also shift out of place because the balance has been thrown off along the dental arch.

About Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically embedded into a patient's jawbone and gum tissue. When in place, these dental implants are able to support replacement teeth with the stability and strength of natural tooth roots. In addition, issues with the loss of tissue density are eliminated since the dental implants give the jawbone and gums some structure to grow around and support.

Dental Implants vs. Dentures and Bridges: Things to Consider

-Longevity: Dental implants offer a long-term solution (often lasting a lifetime) to missing teeth, while dentures and bridges require replacement every 5 to 10 years. Not only does this mean less hassle, it also means that implants may be more affordable over time.

-Quality of Life: Simply put, dental implants look, feel and function more like natural teeth than do dentures and bridges. With a dental implant, our patients can hardly notice the difference when biting into hard objects.

-Bone Stability and Health: Just like muscles, bones also need a “workout” in order to maintain their mass and health. So when a tooth is missing from the jawline, the bone underneath the old tooth site becomes atrophied and shrinks. Dentures and bridges do nothing to help this deterioration. However, dental implants actually screw into the bone and integrate with it, actually encouraging new bone growth.

The benefits of dental implants are permanent

What is a dental implant, you may be asking? At the most basic level, a dental implant is simply a prosthetic tooth that is mounted to a metal post which is screwed into the jaw bone. The procedure is typically done in two visits. During the first procedure, a titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it is allowed to “settle in” and bond, and a process that takes about six to eight months. After that, the dentist creates a prosthetic tooth and attaches it to the titanium post for a fully functional (yet fake) tooth!

The benefit of dental implants is that, unlike dentures, they are almost unnoticeable by the patient. Anyone who has had dentures knows that they tend to slip and wear down and sometimes even cause mild pain or discomfort. With dental implants, you will not even know they are there. They function just like a natural tooth in your mouth, no slipping, movement or separate cleaning required. Similarly, patients who are used to receiving bridges may benefit by an upgrade to an implant as bridges have a tendency to invite bacteria and infection, requiring additional replacements.

If you plan to have dental implants placed, or have recently been recommended for implants, then you probably already know the wealth of benefits that they will provide. After all, having a full and healthy set of teeth is an integral factor in your dental health. Before your implants can be fully utilized, however, they require a successful recovery after surgery.

While dental implants have a very high rate of success with few risks, nearly all patients can expect at least a few side effects during the early stages of recovery. In order for patients to have appropriate expectations for the post-surgical healing process and prepare accordingly, take the following notes into consideration. With the right information and the skilled hands of Dr. David Turbyfill, a board-certified oral surgeon, you can have a successful and rewarding dental implant procedure.

The predominant side effects of surgery will arise over the first two days, reaching their worst state by the third day. These effects should not be an immediate cause for concern, as they are commonly experienced after oral surgery and surgery in general: soreness, bruising, and swelling.

In the following weeks and months, your implants will need to fuse with surrounding bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. When eating, avoid chewing on or near the implants whenever possible. A soft food diet should also be implemented during the first couple of weeks, and any foods that are particularly hard or chewy should be avoided altogether during recovery. Likewise, brush twice a day and floss daily in order to prevent gum disease from forming around implants and causing them to fail.

We are ready to help you through the dental implant process, from your initial consultation to the final days of your recovery. Contact our office to ask about your implants or to schedule an appointment with Dr. David Turbyfill.

Reasons for Wisdom Teeth Removal: Part 2

Dental professionals will often recommend removal of your third molars or “wisdom teeth." Let me review the most common reasons for this advice.

Third is damage to the tooth adjacent to your third molar. This can occur for many reasons. If a third molar is pushing against its neighboring tooth then damage can occur from resorption or a “dissolving” effect. This process can initially be pain-free, but if/when pain does occur then both teeth often require removal.

Fourth is pathology. This is most commonly a cyst which is not cancer but can still be very locally destructive. This destruction of bone can lead to tooth loss, nerve damage, or even a fractured or “broken” jaw. If the tooth does not have a path to erupt into the mouth then it becomes impacted. When a tooth and its follicle is unable to erupt then this follicle can become a cyst. A cyst often demonstrates different speeds of growth and therefore level of damage but can be quite extensive.

Dental professionals will often recommend removal of your third molars or “wisdom teeth”. Let me review the most common reasons for this advice.

Inadequate space is a leading indication for extractions. The third molar is normally the last tooth to develop in one’s mouth. Your teeth, with or without orthodontics treatment or “braces”, can be damaged or displaced by your third molar attempting to erupt into your mouth. The pressure exerted by your third molars can cause crowding and/or prevent your orthodontist from safely and effectively moving your teeth.

Second is infection. If a third molar has any communication with the oral cavity or mouth then bacteria can find their way below the gum line which can cause a periodontal or “gum tissue” abscess. This often occurs when you are sick or stressed and your immune system is weak. In this scenario, one would be faced with two problems at once which can delay healing and increase pain. This can be irreversible requiring the removal of all involved teeth.
