Teeth Cleaning

Crowns
A traditional bridge uses teeth on either side of the gap where teeth are missing for support. An implant supported bridge uses two or more dental implants rather than the adjacent teeth. When a bridge uses natural teeth for attachment, the natural teeth must be prepped for crowns and are then subject to increased stress which may be damaging – particularly if the existing tooth, roots, or surrounding bone structure are already compromised. A dental implant supported bridge replaced your missing teeth and avoids putting any additional stress on your natural teeth.
Bridges
An implant supported bridge is a restorative solution for spaces where three or more adjacent teeth are missing. This restoration typically requires two implants to support the porcelain bridge. The bridge provides a functional and aesthetic replacement for a patient’s natural teeth.

Dentures
For patients who are missing many or all of their teeth, implant supported dentures may be an alternative to traditional dentures. This solution requires the placement of two or more implants. In order to replace a full arch denture, a minimum of four implants is generally recommended. Eligibility for this solution is dependent upon a number of factors, with jaw bone density being one of the most significant determining factors.

Dental Implants
Sometimes when implants are needed to replace teeth in the molar or premolar region of the upper jaw, there is not enough bone height due to the location and size of the sinus cavity that is located just above these teeth. In these cases, a sinus lift procedure may be necessary to establish enough bone to allow for an implant. This is done by grafting bone along the floor of the sinus between the bone and the sinus membrane. This procedure only changes the anatomy of the sinus slightly, and does not alter the function or drainage of the sinus.

Tooth Extractions
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is the replacement or enhancement of bone usually around teeth and implants when bone has been lost. In some implant surgeries, bone grafting may need to be completed prior to placing the implant to allow for a solid foundation to support the implants. The graft material used may be from sterilized cadaver bone or can be obtained surgically from the patient’s own jaw, hip, or leg bone depending on the type of bone defect.

Orthodontics
For impacted canine teeth, several treatment modalities are available. Treatment can involve orthodontics (braces) to create space to allow the tooth to erupt. Sometimes an impacted tooth will still not erupt even after creating enough space to accommodate the tooth. In these cases, it is necessary for a surgical procedure to expose the tooth and bond a chain to it that the orthodontist can then use to apply traction on the tooth and guide the eruption.
Braces
Orthognathic surgery is done to correct misalignments or other abnormalities in the upper and/or lower jaw. The surgery is performed to improve function and can specifically address problems with breathing, occlusion (bite) and chewing ability, and/or speaking that are due to poor jaw or tooth alignment. The surgery often dramatically affects appearance as well, although this is usually not the primary reason the surgery is performed. Orthognathic surgery can involve procedures such as an osteotomy (bone cutting), bone grafts, distraction osteogenesis (stretching of the bone) and orthodontic (braces) care. Orthognathic correction is conducted in stages, and the course of treatment can last from a few months to a year or more. In order to perform the procedure successfully, the jaw bone(s) will be repositioned in accordance with the patient’s specific needs. Inconspicuous incisions are typically made inside the mouth in order to achieve the best aesthetic and functional results.
