Best Tooth Replacement Options

June 20, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

Whether due to gum disease or trauma to the teeth, many Americans experience tooth loss. Thankfully, many treatment options are available to replace missing teeth and restore your full, beautiful smile. At Dental Implant Solutionz, we specialize in multiple tooth replacement procedures to suit a broad range of patients’ needs.

Implants

Dental implants are currently the go-to option for modern tooth replacement. With an implant, a prosthetic tooth root is anchored directly into the jaw. This mimics how a natural tooth is rooted in the jaw. Additionally, implants stimulate the physiological bone to stop the bone loss that occurs within the first year of losing a tooth. The biocompatible, hospital-grade titanium will prompt the body to develop new bone around the implant, which permanently anchors it in place. With proper oral care, dental implants can last a lifetime. [Read more…]

Are you considering hybrid dentures? This dental appliance offers a more natural feel than traditional dentures, making it an attractive option for many patients. But, how long can you expect hybrid dentures to last? Let’s find out.

What Are Hybrid Dentures?

Before we dive into the lifespan of hybrid dentures, let’s define this advanced dental fixture. Hybrid dentures are directly anchored on top of dental implants. The dentures are permanently secured in place, but your dentist can remove them for your regular cleanings. This makes hybrid dentures a comfortable and long-lasting treatment option for restoring your smile. [Read more…]

Tooth Extraction vs. A Crown

May 20, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

Tooth extractions and crowns are two treatments available at Dental Implant Solutionz. While both of these treatments can be used to restore damaged teeth, many patients find themselves choosing between the two. With tooth extraction, the damaged tooth will be fully removed. With a crown, the tooth can be kept and covered rather than removed.

Here, we’ll discuss both tooth extractions and crowns to help you determine the right option for you. You may also visit our Largo dental office for expert recommendations from our trained team. [Read more…]

How To Care for Dental Implants

April 20, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

Whether you need to replace a single tooth or permanently secure a full-mouth denture, a dental implant could be the right solution for you. Dental implants are considered the ideal treatment option for tooth replacement today, with many different types of implants available to suit a range of needs.

If you’re considering a dental implant to replace one or more missing teeth, you may be wondering about the maintenance required for this dental fixture. Luckily, caring for dental implants is straightforward and much like caring for natural teeth.

Floss Every Night.

Flossing daily is an important habit for everyone’s oral health. However, once you have dental implants, this practice becomes even more crucial. By flossing every night, you’ll prevent the buildup of plaque around the implants. Plaque on dental implants can affect the surrounding gums, potentially leading to irritation and even infection.

Laser Treatment for Gum Disease

March 20, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

Gum disease is an extremely common condition among people today. Often caused by poor oral hygiene, genetics, smoking, and other lifestyle factors, gum disease presents a significant risk — not only to your oral health, but to your overall wellbeing.

LANAP, which stands for Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure, is an available treatment option for gum disease. As an alternative to traditional gum disease, this laser procedure is more efficient, comfortable, and provides superior results. [Read more…]

What To Expect from a Bone Graft

March 10, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

A bone graft may be necessary for patients who are lacking enough healthy bone to support a dental implant. In the bone grafting procedure, bone tissue is secured to the treatment area through an incision that’s closed with sutures.

At Dental Implant Solutionz, we provide many alternatives to bone grafting so that patients don’t have to undergo the procedure. From choosing alternative implant designs to utilizing splinting methods and growth factors to rebuild bone tissue, we may be able to entirely avoid the bone grafting process. However, in cases where bone grafting is the best option, understanding what to expect is helpful before going into the procedure. [Read more…]

Bridges Vs. Implants

February 20, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

Missing teeth can create both cosmetic and oral health issues. Thankfully, if you’ve lost one or more teeth, there are many different treatment options available to you. Dental implants and bridges are two of the most widely-used options for replacing missing teeth. While both of these dental solutions can provide excellent results, understanding the differences between the two can help you select the best option for your needs.

Dental Implants

LANAP Vs. Gum Surgery

February 10, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

LANAP laser treatment can be an excellent alternative to gum surgery for many patients. But what exactly is LANAP treatment, and how does it differ from gum surgery? This article will provide a detailed comparison of these available treatments for patients suffering from periodontal disease.

Gum Surgery

In conventional gum surgery for periodontal disease, the gum tissue is pulled back from the periodontal pocket with a scalpel. This improves accessibility to the area for your doctor. Some of the gum tissue will then be removed and sutured to reduce the depth of the pocket. After this step has been completed, your doctor may complete a bone or tissue graft to join the root of the tooth with the gums. [Read more…]

Should I Have My Wisdom Teeth Extracted?

January 30, 2021 By dentalimplantsolutionz

Wisdom teeth are molars that are the last to emerge in the mouth. Many people have their wisdom teeth extracted, but when is it necessary? Here, we’ll discuss the main reasons why your dentist may recommend wisdom teeth extraction.

When Wisdom Teeth Can Be Left Alone

Wisdom teeth can grow in differently depending on the patient. In some cases, wisdom teeth don’t cause complications and don’t need to be removed. If your wisdom teeth are healthy, positioned and biting properly, and fully grown in, your dentist may not recommend that you have your wisdom teeth removed. So long as the teeth don’t cause pain, discomfort, or complications for your oral health, extraction isn’t necessary. [Read more…]
