</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Aesthetics aren’t the only reason many patients turn to <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentaldentures.php" target="_blank">dentures</a> when they suffer with missing teeth—often patients use dentures as a means to chew food properly, protect their gums and improve speech. Dental technology offers patients a variety of denture types, they differ based on structure and design. The two most commonly used types of dentures are fixed and removable.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Until recently, most denture wearers opted for removable dentures—they are easy to maintain and, for the most part, comfortable to wear. But over time, removable dentures can become ill fitting—causing the dentures to shift in the mouth, especially while the wearer is speaking and eating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can lead to awkward social situations—not to mention difficulty chewing certain foods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For these reasons, more patients are turning to fixed dentures.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Fixed dentures look and act the same as removable dentures, however the wearer isn’t able to remove the dentures on their own. The denture arc, whether upper, lower or full set, are stabilized through the use of dental implants, structures that act as tooth ‘roots’ to stabilize dentures for a look and feel that is completely natural.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The dental implant procedure involves placement of the implant into the jawbone using specialized tools. The patient will receive a local anesthetic, after which small incisions are made in the gum line to expose the jawbone below. The implants are then placed into the jawbone so that only the head, or abutment, is exposed above the gum line.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">A metal housing is then attached to the denture arc, one will coincide with each implant placed, and the metal housings ‘snap’ the dentures onto the implants and hold them firmly in place, creating a naturally beautiful smile. </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Since fixed dentures cannot be removed, they may become susceptible to inflammation and other oral problems—but regular visits to your dentist for maintenance greatly reduces the chances of that happening. Patients will find that fixed dentures are more costly than removable dentures, however the benefits of the procedure can be well worth the added cost.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">If you are looking to replace missing teeth and are considering dentures, speak with your dentist today and determine if fixed or removable dentures are the best option for you.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-81058059580517260022012-01-30T12:27:00.001-08:002012-01-30T12:27:55.079-08:00About Mini Dental Implants<div style="font-family: inherit;"> <style>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/minidentalimplants.php" target="_blank">Mini dental implants</a>, also known as MDI’s, are a miniature titanium dental implant that acts as a tooth root replacement for those patients looking to replace broken, decaying, damaged or missing teeth. Mini dental implants are revolutionary in design because they are significantly thinner than the traditional dental implants, allowing for a higher success rate in patient placement.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The mini dental implant device is a single titanium screw complete with a ball-shaped head (also known as an abutment). The abutment acts as a "snap" that snaps into a socket-like connector. This connector is a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of the dental prosthetic (dentures, crown, bridge, etc.). </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The nature of the retaining fixture is unique as it achieves a connection using a rubber o-ring inside the socket connector. The design provides adequate retaining force to hold the dental prosthetics in place so that they may look and act like natural teeth. However, when additional force is applied, the retaining fixtures can be removed, allowing for maintenance or cleaning.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Mini Dental implants are just what their name implies—they are considerably smaller than their traditional counterparts. Most MDI’s are 2 millimeters in diameter as opposed to traditional implants, which are 4-5.75 millimeters.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Mini dental implants have increased in popularity as the procedures have become easier, less invasive and more successful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Success rates have only grown as patients have continued to undergo treatment.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">One of the reasons for continued success with MDI’s is the cost. With any dental procedure, the overall cost is always an important aspect for patient consideration. Those considering mini dental implants will find that they are significantly less expensive when compared to traditional implants. In some cases, they can be as much as 60% cheaper.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Not only do patients find the MDI treatment affordable, but they also take advantage of its speed. In most cases, the treatment can be completed in less than two hours—meaning patients only need a single dental visit to complete their smile. In addition, its minimally invasive nature means patients can undergo treatment without the requirement of downtime. Patients will have full use of their teeth immediately following treatment.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Dental implants are an ideal solution for those men and women struggling with an imperfect smile due to broken, damaged, decayed or missing teeth. However, when it comes to implantation, not all patients are ideal candidates—this is most often due to a lack of quality and quantity of bone in the jaw. Because of this, more patients are turning to <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">bone grafting for dental implants</a> in order to experience success.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Dental implants require a certain quality and quantity of bone in the jaw for successful implantation. If patients do not have enough bone present in the jaw, the bone can be rebuilt through modern bone grafting techniques. Bone grafts are designed to build up or fill in jawbone defects for dental implant placement. </div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Four types of bone grafts are generally used, Autografts, Allografts, Xenografts and Alloplastic Grafts:</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Autografts:</b> this type of bone graft utilizes bone from your own body. The bone is generally harvested from the mouth or the hip. Autografts are the ideal form of bone grafting for dental implants because it is your own bone and therefore very compatible with your body. This grafting technique usually results in the greatest regeneration of missing jawbone.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Allografts:</b> are bone grafts taken from human donors. Bone obtained in this manor is rigorously tested and thoroughly sterilized. Once placed, your body "converts" the donor bone into your natural bone, thereby rebuilding your jawbone for successful implantation.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Xenografts:</b> are bone grafts harvested from animals. The animal bone, which is most commonly bovine (cow), undergoes a special process to make it both sterile and biocompatible. Xenografts act as bone fillers, which in time your body will replace with natural bone.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Alloplastic Grafts:</b> are bone grafts consisting of man made synthetic materials. The most commonly used man made material that mimics natural bone is calcium phosphate. Depending on how the graft is made, it will be either "resorbable" or "non-resorbable", meaning your body may or may not replace the graft with natural bone. When the Alloplastic Grafts are not replaced with natural bone, they act as a scaffold upon which natural bone is built—resulting in the creation of enough bone for successful implantation.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Modern bone grafting techniques are ideal for those patients needing bone replacement in order to undergo successful implantation. Should this treatment be recommended by your dentist, you will be given further information on the type, location and amount of graft needed in order to perfect your smile.</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> </div>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-33361711160257755022012-01-26T07:11:00.000-08:002012-01-26T07:11:34.505-08:00Types of Dental Implants<div style="font-family: inherit;"> <style>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">There are several <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">types of dental implants</a> available to patients looking to replace damaged, decaying or missing teeth, each are designed to help individual patients based on certain criteria. During the implant procedure, your dentist will surgically place the implant or implants directly into the jawbone. Traditional implants required a certain amount of bone quality and quantity for successful implantation, however, through the progression of technology, different types of implants have been developed for those patients that may not have been initial candidates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dental Implant Types</b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Most implants are made of titanium, an inert metal that has been proven to effectively fuse with living bone, a process known as "Osseointegration". Implants vary based on size and structure, each are designed to aid in successful implantation for patients. The following are the most common forms of dental implantation:</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Root Form:</b> "Root Form" implants are similar in shape to the root of a tooth—they are a cylindrical or screw type implant with a surface area designed to uphold a strong attachment to the bone. Root Form implants are the most widely used design and are generally placed where a plentiful width and depth of jawbone is present. In certain instances, if the jawbone is too narrow or short for immediate placement using Root Form implants, your dentist may recommend bone grafting.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Plate Form:</b> When the jawbone is too narrow for Root Form placement and is not a successful candidate for bone grafting, a specially designed implant called the “Plate Form” implant can be placed. The process used to place the implant is identical to Root Form implants, however the Plate Form implant is flat and long—ideally designed to fit into the narrow jawbone.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Subperiosteal:</b> When, due to advanced jawbone reabsorption after bone grafting, there may not be enough bone width or height for either Root Form or Plate Form implants to be successful, a Subperiosteal Implant may be used. This type of implant is custom made and designed to sit on top of the bone, but under the gum line. This type of implant does require a more extensive surgical procedure, however it does allow patients to experience successful implantation.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">For broken, decaying and damaged teeth, there are many dental treatments patients can undergo to restore their smile, but when it comes to missing teeth, there’s no better treatment for replacing missing teeth than with mini dental implants. Whether it’s a single tooth, a group of teeth, a full arch of teeth or a full set of teeth, MDI’s are a safe and effective way to achieve a naturally beautiful smile with long-lasting results.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Until recently, patients replacing missing teeth could only rely on bridges (which rely on support from surrounding teeth—ultimately leading to damage and decay down the road) and removable dentures (which are prone to causing embarrassment and discomfort). Mini dental implants offer an innovative solution to the problem of missing teeth. They provide the stability needed to complete everyday tasks such as speaking and eating with ease, all with a smile that looks and feels completely natural.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/replacemissingteeth.php" target="_blank">Replacing missing teeth with mini dental implants</a> is both simple and straightforward. The treatment is performed at your dentist’s office using a local anesthetic. Once administered, your dentist will use a special drill, to drill small holes through the gum line and into the jawbone—this creates space for implant placement. A special wrench-like tool will then be used to tighten or ‘screw’ the implant into the jawbone, providing root-like stability for a dental prosthetic (crown, bridge or dentures). </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Once properly placed, only the ball-shaped head, otherwise known as the abutment, will be visible above the gum line. At this time, your dentist will attach a metal housing to your dental prosthetic—this is what attaches the prosthetic to the implant. The metal housing is socket-like in nature and contains an o-ring, which works to effectively ‘snap’ the prosthetic onto the abutment, creating a secure seal. </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt;">The result is stable support for a dental prosthetic that looks and feels like a real tooth or teeth. Replacing missing teeth with mini dental implants is safe, quick and provides long-lasting results. Consult with your dentist today and see if this procedure can help you to replace your missing teeth for a naturally beautiful smile that lasts.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-12703856100964804302012-01-16T14:17:00.000-08:002012-01-16T14:17:35.763-08:00Immediate Dental Implants<div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Replacing broken, damaged, decayed and missing teeth is something that many men and women are currently considering, but oftentimes potential patients hesitate because they feel cost and time will be too involved.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The implants are inserted into the jaw using a specialized wrench with effectively ‘screws’ each implant into place, providing security and stability. When the implant is properly placed, only the head, or abutment, of the implant will be visible above the jaw line. The abutment is what is used to attach the dental prosthetic (crown, bridge, dentures) to the implant for stable, secure results.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Depending on the dental prosthetic being used during treatment, some patients may have a temporary prosthetic placed until the implant has time to properly fuse with the jaw bone. In other cases, the permanent dental prosthetic will be placed during the same dental visit. Either way, patients can walk out of their dentist’s office and can use their new teeth immediately.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Immediate dental implants are great for patients because they involve little to no pain, no downtime and offer immediate results. For those who currently suffer with an imperfect smile, mini dental implants can offer you the solution you’re looking for without the hassle of several visits to the dentist that can span weeks if not months. Get the smile you’ve always wanted with immediate dental implants. Contact your dentist today to see if this treatment is right for you.</div>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-48118163966133342632012-01-16T13:15:00.000-08:002012-01-16T13:15:47.580-08:00Affordable Dental Implants for Dentures<div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Do you often experience difficulty when eating the foods you love? Dentures can often cause problems for the men and women that have them, but now there is a better solution. <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/implantdenturecost.php" target="_blank">Affordable dental implants for dentures</a> provide patients with the ability to secure their dentures, for a look and feel that is completely natural. Why continue the daily struggle with removable dentures when there is a better solution?</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Removable dentures are well known for causing problems for many patients. Loose, ill fitting dentures tend to shift in the mouth, especially while speaking and chewing—often leading to embarrassing situations. Removable dentures require readjustments, meaning more trips to the dentist. Denture wearers spend a lot of time and money maintaining their smile, but now there is a more efficient way to maintain your smile.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Dental implants are a safe and effective way to get long-term denture stabilization at an affordable cost. The implant procedure is quick and easy and can be performed right in your dentist’s office. Your dentist will start by administering a local anesthetic, after which he or she will use a specialized drill to create holes in the jaw bone for implant insertion. The number of implants needed to stabilize dentures will vary for each patient. Once the holes are created in the jaw bone a specialized wrench will be used to tighten or ‘screw’ the implants in place. Once properly placed, only the implant head or abutment will be visible above the gum line. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Once the implants are placed your dentist will attach metal housings to your removable dentures, one for each implant. The metal housings are socket-like in nature and when attached to the implant head, snap into place, providing proper stabilization. When placed, the dentures will rest comfortably on the gum line, creating the look and feel of natural teeth.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt;">For patients currently struggling with ill-fitting dentures, consider this easy, affordable option. Dental implants for dentures give you a naturally beautiful smile without the aggravation or embarrassment of removable dentures. Talk with your dentist today and see if dental implants are right for you.</span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-21872497647545384592012-01-15T11:20:00.001-08:002012-01-15T11:21:16.332-08:00Replace a single tooth with Mini Dental Implants<div style="font-family: inherit;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">For years, dentists have been replacing damaged, decayed and missing teeth with various forms of dental prosthetics, but none achieve stable, long-lasting results like <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/minidentalimplants.php" target="_blank">mini dental implants</a>. Dental implants vary from more traditional forms of tooth replacement, because unlike crowns, bridges and dentures, implants can provide patients with the look and feel of naturally growing teeth, without relying on support from surrounding teeth. In addition, advancements in dental technology now allow for the replacement of even a single tooth with mini dental implants.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Mini dental implants, while similar to their more traditional counterparts, are truly revolutionary because they allow patients to replace a full set of teeth, a group of teeth, or even a single tooth, without causing damage to the surrounding structures in the mouth—and with naturally looking results. In addition, the small stature of the mini implants allows more patient to undergo treatment.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Until now, most patients replaced a single tooth by way of crown or bridge, but now, dental implant technology offers a better solution. Crowns are often used when a patient has a damaged or decayed tooth. A root canal is used to prepare the tooth and the tooth roots for the crown. Similarly, bridges are used to replace a single tooth or a group of teeth, and can be effective, but rely on support from surrounding teeth, which over time, can cause damage. Patients looking for safe, long-lasting results are now turning to dental implants.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The mini dental implant treatment is administered right in your dentist’s office using local anesthetic. Your dentist will use a specialized drill to create a small hole in the jaw bone for implant placement. A specialized wrench is then used to tighten or ‘screw’ the implant in place, providing stability for the dental prosthetic. Once placed, only the implant head, or abutment, will be visible above the gum line.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">At this time, your dentist will attach a metal housing to the bottom of the dental prosthetic (crown, bridge, dentures). The metal housing is socket-like in nature and fits over the ball-shaped implant head. Once the metal housing is placed, your dentist will ‘snap’ the housing onto the implant head, giving the dental prosthetic the look and feel of naturally growing teeth. The stability provided by the dental implant affords patients long-lasting results.</span></div>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-77668414660041380632012-01-15T09:45:00.000-08:002012-01-15T09:45:42.898-08:00The Dental Implant Treatment<div style="font-family: inherit;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

There are many reasons that one might lose a tooth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tooth decay, root canal failure, gum disease, trauma to the mouth, excessive wear and tear and congenital defects are all potential causes of tooth loss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many individuals become self conscious when losing a tooth; it can cause some to stop smiling and talking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dental Implants are a logical, durable way to counteract tooth loss.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 9pt;">While implants are a great way to fill in gaps caused by tooth loss, they are not something that will work for everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Patients must be in good health, they must have healthy gums, there must be adequate bone to support the Dental Implant and they must be committed to scrupulous oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For anyone who is considering getting implants, undergo a full evaluation by your dentist to ensure you are a proper candidate for the procedure.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 9pt;">If you are a good Dental Implant candidate, the procedure will begin with the placing of the implant or anchor (this is the root that stabilizes the dental prosthetic placed on the implant).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surgery for anchor placement can take several hours and once completed, it can take up to six months for the bone to grow around the anchor to hold it firmly in place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the anchor is firmly in place, the next step is to place the artificial tooth or teeth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dental implants are safe and effective for placing crowns and bridges and can also be used to stabilize upper and lower dentures.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 9pt;">Depending on a number of different factors, Dental Implant surgery can be done either in a dental office or in a hospital. The severity of each individual case will decide whether a local or general anesthetic may be used. After the initial surgery, pain medications and, when necessary, antibiotics are prescribed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the treatment is complete, patients will be rewarded with a stable, long lasting solution for tooth loss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dental Implants are stronger and more durable than other restoration options, so patients can feel confident they’ve chosen a solution that will last.</span></div>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-50402518992555851162012-01-11T08:54:00.000-08:002012-01-11T08:54:20.525-08:00Permanent Dentures with Dental Implants<div style="font-family: inherit;"> <style>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to dental procedures, the term ‘permanent’ is used a lot, and <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/denturesimplants.php" target="_blank">permanent dentures</a> are no exception. It is important for patients to know that no dental procedure will ever offer permanent results, however treatments performed by reputable, certified dentists can provide long lasting results. If you are searching for permanent dentures with dental implants, know that while no dentist can guarantee permanent results, patients have experienced years of success with this innovative treatment.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Many men and women struggle on a daily basis with removable dentures. In theory, dentures are a fantastic way for patients with damaged, decaying, or missing teeth to achieve a naturally beautiful smile. In reality however, removable dentures do cause daily irritation for men and women—loose fitting dentures often shift while speaking and eating, making everyday tasks difficult and embarrassing. An effective, long-lasting solution for denture wearers can be found in dental implants.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Unlike adhesives, dental implants provide the stability denture wearers need to speak and chew with ease. The dental implant procedure involves the placement of implants within the jawbone, which when attached to the dentures, hold them in place for a functional, naturally beautiful smile.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The procedure begins with the administration of a local anesthetic. After which your dentist will utilize a specialized drill that creates small holes in the jawbone (several implants will be needed to stabilize both the upper and lower denture). The implants are then placed in these holes—they are ‘screwed’ into place using a specialized wrench. When properly placed, only the head, or abutment, of the implant will be visible above the gum line.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">A metal housing will then be attached to the dentures, one for each implant. This is how the dentures are attached to the implants. The metal housing effectively ‘snaps’ onto the implant abutment, holding the implant in place. When the procedure is complete, the dentures will rest comfortably on the gum line, creating the look and feel of natural teeth.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Permanent dentures with dental implants are simply not possible, but when performed correctly, this treatment can provide stable, long lasting results that patients can enjoy for years. </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-80427246063692478702012-01-05T18:14:00.000-08:002012-01-05T18:14:42.938-08:00Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions Part 4<div style="font-family: inherit;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> <o:PixelsPerInch>72</o:PixelsPerInch> <o:TargetScreenSize>1024x768</o:TargetScreenSize> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:DoNotOptimizeForBrowser/> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is bone grafting and why is it associated with <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">dental implants</a>?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Successful placement of implants depends on a sufficient quantity and quality of bone in the jaw and not all patients have the requisite amount of bone needed for successful implantation. At first, dentists believed that in areas where there was insufficient bone, it was impossible to place dental implants.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">With great advancements in medical and dental technology however, procedures have been developed to increase the amount of bone available in the jaw by use of bone belonging to the patient (endogenous bone), by use of a range of artificial substitutes, or by a substitute of both.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Most grafting techniques are simple and can be performed at the same time as implant placement. For some patients who have a significant lack of bone, more complex procedure may be required in order to create enough bone volume for successful implantation. In these cases, grafting procedures may need to occur as far as six months in advance of implantation.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What materials are available to replace bone?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">In many cases, the patients’ own bone is used. Bone is often taken from areas close to the implant site, or from the chin or the back of the lower jaw. In severe cases, bone may need to be taken from outside the mouth.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">In other cases, artificial bone substitutes are used—more are being developed day by day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the most commonly used substitutes is a material derived from cow bone. It is processed in order to remove all organic materials before use. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Purely man made substitutes are also used in some cases, but most of these materials are in the early stages of development, therefore can be unpredictable when it comes to implant success.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Regardless of the type of material used, the grafting is used as a means to provide scaffolding in the treated area, which your body works to dissolve and replace with new bone.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Is dental implantation expensive?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The treatment ranges in invasiveness, and depending on the type of implant, costs can become fairly large. However, dental implants are well known for being safe, long-lasting solutions for broken, damaged, decaying and missing teeth. The quality of life of any patient’s oral health dramatically improves after implantation. People across the globe have benefited greatly from this procedure and it only continues to grow in popularity.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Physical discomfort, bad breath, and even embarrassment due to unexpected movement while chewing and speaking often plague those with partial or full removable dentures, but the use of <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">dental implants</span></strong><em> </em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">to</span></em><em> </em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">stabilize loose or poorly fitting</span></em><em> </em><em><span style="font-style: normal;">dentures</span></em> easily solves many of these common struggles.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The Denture Stabilization Procedure</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The dental implant treatment is an affordable, minimally invasive procedure that provides stability for removable dentures giving patients the peace of mind they need to feel confident about their smile.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The dental implant system consists of three main parts: </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span>The implant. Rooted into the jawbone through procedure that can be performed right in your dentist’s office, the titanium alloy implant acts as an anchor which stabilizes the denture. A full arch of dentures requires several implants for proper stabilization.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span>The metal housing. A metal housing will be attached to the base of the denture (one will be attached to coincide with each dental implant) and is what connects the denture to the implant.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span>The rubber O-ring. Residing inside of the metal housing, the o-ring seals and locks the two pieces in place.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">The treatment, performed by your dentist, begins with a local anesthetic. A specialized drill is then used to create spaces or holes in the bone of the jaw for each dental implant. A specialized wrench is then used to secure or ‘screw’ the implant in place. Once placed, only the ball-shaped head of the implant, where the prosthetic is attached, will be visible above the gum line.

This revolutionary procedure is not designed to replace the need for conventional or traditional implants, rather it offers patients a different choice. </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">Advancements in technology have drastically reduced implant size, thereby reducing cost—making dental implantation more affordable and ideal for many patients who were not candidates for traditional implants. Dental implants are a great option for patients in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth and wish to restore their naturally, beautiful smile.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Mini Dental Implant Procedure</b></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">This innovative treatment is something that can be completed for most patients in just a single dental visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The procedure will start with the administration of a local anesthetic. Once sufficiently numbed, small incisions will be made in the gum line and a specialized drill will create small holes in the jawbone for implant placement.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">A specialized wrench is used to tighten the implant into the jawbone until only the top portion (the abutment) is visible above the gum line. This visible portion of the implant is what connects the implant to the dental prosthetic. </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">A single or multiple implants may be needed depending on whether a patient is replacing a single tooth, a group of teeth or an entire arch of teeth. Once a patients’ implant(s) is placed, the next step will be to attach the dental prosthetic(s). </div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">In order to properly attach the dental prosthetic (crown, bridge, partial or full dentures) to the implant, your dentist must place a retaining fixture onto each dental prosthetic. The retaining fixture is socket-like in nature and fits snugly over the ball-shaped implant abutment. The retaining fixture snaps onto the implant abutment, effectively stabilizing the dental prosthetic—giving patients the look and function of natural teeth.</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">When it comes to replacing broken, damaged and missing teeth, mini dental implants are quickly growing to be one of the most sought after tooth replacement procedures.

<div class="MsoNormal">More common Dental Implant questions asked and answered: </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Can implants improve my appearance?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">While the main reason for dental implantation is to improve oral health through the ability to chew and speak more easily, teeth do play an important role in an individual’s overall appearance, therefore <a href="http://minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">dental implants</a> do ultimately play a role in the enhancement of one’s appearance.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How does the implant procedure work?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The implant procedure is surgical in nature and involves the placement of an implant or implants into the jawbone using precise techniques. The dentist will start by administering an anesthetic, after which incisions are made in the gum line allowing access to the bone of the jaw. A specialized drill is used to drill into the jawbone, creating a space for the implant. The implant is then placed using a specialized wrench which effectively ‘screws’ the implant into place. When the implant is properly placed, only the head or abutment will be visible above the gum line.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If patients are undergoing treatment for the placement of mini dental implants, the dental prosthetic will be immediately attached to the abutment, providing the patient with a natural looking tooth replacement. If patients are undergoing traditional dental implantation, the implant will be left for 3-6 months (although a temporary tooth will be attached to allow patients to chew and speak with ease), during which the bone of the jaw will fuse with the titanium alloy of the implant, providing the stability needed for the attachment of the dental prosthetic.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What should be expected during surgery?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">A local anesthetic is most often used during this treatment, which eliminates all pain. If patients require it, sedation may also be used.

<div class="MsoNormal">Removable dentures are notorious for causing problems due to the fact that they rarely stay firmly and comfortably in place, but <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/denturesimplants.php" target="_blank">denture implants</a> offer patients a more stable alternative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are one of the many men and women that like the look and feel of your dentures, but are frustrated with the many problems commonly associated with dentures, consider dental implants for a stable, long-lasting solution.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Dentures are a common solution utilized by men and women who are missing large groups of teeth or all of their teeth. Bridges and crowns are great alternatives for those missing a single tooth or a small group of teeth, but dentures are the best option for replacing a full arch of teeth. Removable dentures give patients a naturally looking smile, but often they fail to provide stable support for common daily practices such as speaking and eating.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Denture Implants are dental implants that hold removable dentures securely in place, providing long-lasting stable support for patients. There are several types of implants available to patients; the type used will depend on the oral health of the patient as well as the quality and quantity of bone present in the jaw. Other factors that can influence the implant are age, the rate of bone re-absorption (bone loss that can occur after losing a tooth or teeth) and the patient’s use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco products.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once a patient is considered a candidate for dental implants, the procedure will begin. Your dentist will administer an anesthetic, after which incisions will be made in the gum line for access to the jawbone. Specialized tools will then be used to create space in the bone for insertion of the implant. The implant will then be securely placed in the jawbone where it will act as stable support for your dentures.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">No matter the size, generally at least two to four implants are placed in each of the upper and lower regions of the mouth. Once properly placed, only the ball-shaped head or abutment portion of the implant will be visible above the gum line. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Metal housings (one for each implant) will then be attached to the dentures. These housings feature locking mechanisms that effectively snap onto the implant abutment, holding the dentures firmly in place.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">More of the most commonly asked Dental Implant questions asked and answered: </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Is there an age limit to implants?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For the most part there are no age limitations when it comes to <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">dental implants</a>, however they are not ideal for young patients. Implants are placed in the jawbone, and younger patients that have not finished growing, can experience additional bone growth in this area, which can compromise an implant. Age itself is not a deterrent; rather bone growth as well as the state of your health will determine whether or not you are a proper candidate for the procedure.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is the success rate for implants and are there any guarantees?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Success with implants can never be guaranteed, but the treatment has been extensively tested and patients, in general, experience a 90-95% success rate over a 5 to 10 year period. That being said, some implants have been known to last more than 30 years. Minor maintenance may be needed from time to time, but if the proper aftercare is taken, patients can experience long-term success.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Are there any known complications?</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">When it comes to surgical procedures, there are always potential risks and complications, and dental implants are no exception. The most common complications with implants are the failure of the implant to successfully integrate with the jawbone, and damage caused to surrounding teeth. Instances of these complications are rare, and with careful pre-treatment planning, can be kept to a minimum.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Immediate failure of implants is most often due to an unfavorable bone pattern or the presence of infection. When this occurs, the site can often be left to heal for a few months, after which the implant can be successfully reinserted. Implants have also been known to fail after several years of initial success. This is most commonly due to too much stress being placed on the implant, or an insufficient number of implants initially placed (sometimes done to save on cost). Through appropriate assessment and treatment however, this risk can be minimized.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Another complication often associated with dental implants is a condition known as perimplantitis. Similar to periodontitis (gum disease), this condition is for the most part painless and is associated with inflammation of the gums and progressive loss of bone at the implant site. Daily brushing can prevent this, as well as frequent implant cleaning and regular visits to your dentist.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Dental implant surgery is an innovative procedure that was developed for the replacement of missing or damaged teeth. While there are many dental treatments available for tooth replacement today, few offer stable, long lasting results that look and function much like natural teeth. Dental implant surgery can offer a welcome alternative to those patients currently suffering with missing teeth, ill-fitting dentures or unstable bridgework.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">Dental implant surgery</a> is different for each patient; your treatment plan will depend on the type of implant(s) you are receiving as well as the condition of your jawbone. Most implant surgeries occur in stages and involve several procedures.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Procedure</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Dental implant surgery will begin with a dental consultation. Your dentist will take a look at the area being treated, assess the health of your remaining teeth and take a look at the condition of your jawbone. Dental implants are placed in the jawbone and require a certain amount of surrounding bone for proper placement. Those patients who do not have enough surrounding bone may require bone grafting or bone augmentation prior to implant placement.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once the jawbone is properly prepped (this can require one or more treatments over a certain period of time), your dentist will then place the implant. This treatment begins with an incision in the gum line, followed by use of a specialized drill to create a space in the bone for implantation. The implant is then placed; a specialized wrench is used to secure the implant in the bone. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Over a period of time, the bone will heal around the implant, creating a secure base or root for the dental prosthetic. Once secure, patients will return to the dental office where the dental prosthetic (a crown, bridge, partial or full set of dentures) will then be placed, giving patients the look and feel of a naturally beautiful smile.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Risks</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Like any surgery, dental implant surgery does come with some risk, however problems are rare, minor and easily treatable. Discuss these and other concerns with your dentist prior to treatment. Risks include:<br />
<br />
- Infection at the site of the implant<br />
- Damage or injury to surrounding teeth or blood vessels<br />
- Sinus problems<br />
- Nerve damage, which can cause numbness, tingling or pain in your natural teeth, gums, lips or chin<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">Dental implants</a> are a fantastic way to replace broken, damaged or missing teeth, but like with most medical and dental procedures, there are other options. One such option when it comes to tooth replacement is a root canal. While root canals are successful in replacing a single missing teeth, there are stipulations to this treatment, and in some cases, an implant can be a better option. Knowing the difference between these two options will help you to determine which is best for you.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Root canals are a popular method for restoring (or saving) teeth that are badly damaged, decaying or have become infected. The root canal process involves removing dental pulp and properly cleaning sealing the tooth root. This is done through a process called excavation. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once the roots are properly cleaned and sealed, the remaining tooth will then be prepared for the dental prosthetic. This is done by filling the interior of the tooth with a sealer paste and a rubber compound called gutta percha, both of which are placed into the tooth's root canal. The final step involves placement of the dental prosthetic (most often a crown). A well-done root canal can provide long lasting results.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">A dental implant is most often used when a tooth cannot be saved. Teeth that are too damaged or decayed, or are missing all together, require additional support for the dental prosthetic, and this can be found in a dental implant.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The implant procedure involves placement of the dental implant into the jawbone through a surgical procedure. During treatment your dentist will use a specialized drill to create a small hole in your jawbone, in which the dental implant is placed. The dental implant acts as the tooth root, providing support for the dental prosthetic.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Once placed, the dental prosthetic, whether crown, bridge, full or partial dentures, will then be securely attached, providing stable, long lasting results that give patients the look and feel of natural teeth.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Knowing which procedure is right for you will ultimately depend on the state of your tooth or teeth. After a careful review, your dentist will be able to recommend either a root canal or dental implants to replace your teeth. </div>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-71420184445068418262011-12-06T13:47:00.000-08:002011-12-06T13:49:23.824-08:00Dental Implant Frequently Asked Questions – Part 1<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> <style>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dental implants are a safe and effective long lasting solution for men and women who are looking to replace broken, damaged, decayed or missing teeth. While this treatment can provide patients with a naturally beautiful smile, the procedure can be quite involved, and it is recommended that patients are well informed before undergoing treatment.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Here, some of the most commonly asked dental implant questions are asked and answered.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>What are implants?</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">Dental implants</a> are titanium alloy posts that are designed to act as a tooth’s root. These ‘roots’ are used to support crowns, fixed bridges or dentures. Titanium is a strong, lightweight material that effectively bonds with the bone of the jaw, making it both safe and long lasting.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>What are the advantages over conventional tooth replacements?</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Bridges, crowns and dentures can provide patients with adequate tooth replacement, but implants provide comfortable, stable, long-lasting support. Providing stable support for dental prosthetics allows patients to speak and chew with ease. Because implants do not rely on support from surrounding teeth, patients also see an increase in overall oral health.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Is everyone a candidate for dental implants?</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Simply having missing teeth does not automatically qualify a patient for dental implants. There are specific criteria that need to be looked at before a patient can be considered for implantation:</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>General oral health.</b> The condition of the remainder of a patients teeth and gums needs to be stable in order for dental implants to be successful. Areas of the mouth that may have gum disease, broken teeth or dental decay will need to be treated before an implant can be placed.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Oral health maintenance.</b> Will a patient be able to maintain their oral health? An implant’s success rate will depend on the patient’s ability to keep their teeth and gums clean. Your dentist will provide you with a suggested cleaning schedule and will advise you on how to care for your implants once they are placed.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Sufficient quantity and quality of bone.</b> Implant success relies most on the quality and quantity of bone present in the jaw. Without the right amount of bone, placing implants can be difficult. If the sufficient amount of bone is not present, there is a range of techniques that can be used to increase bone quantity for successful implantation.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Dental implants, whether traditional or mini, require a certain amount of bone in the jaw for successful implantation—both the quality and quantity of bone material will determine overall success. If patients are not initially candidates because they do not have enough bone in their jaw, there are alternatives. One of which is bone augmentation.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-outline-level: 2; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;"><br />

Due to advancements in medical and dental technology, today there are several augmentation treatments available to increase bone in the jaw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include endogenous bone grafting, which is bone taken directly from the patient (from a different area of the body), cultivated bone tissue, and synthetic bone grafting.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-outline-level: 2; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;"><br />

Endogenous bone grafting is often the most successful, however the transplanted bone should not exceed a certain size. This is because when the bone is transplanted it contains different cells. As soon as it is removed from its original location, it is cut off from its nutrient supply. Endogenous bone will successfully transplant when the block is small, as nutrients will reach the transplanted bone faster and allow for higher success rate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-outline-level: 2; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;"><br />

Because of this, the overall state of a patient’s oral health, including remaining teeth, as well as the dental objective will ultimately determine which type of bone augmentation procedure to use for dental implants.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-outline-level: 2; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Dental implants are well known for providing long lasting results for those patients looking to replace missing teeth, but how long is ‘long-lasting’? When first developed, implants were not known to last for an extended period of time. Over the years, extensive research and development has led to advancement in implant technology, which has vastly increased their long-term success. With over one million patients treated with dental implants, research has shown that over 95% of all implants place are successful—success is defined by proper function lasting over five years.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">Dental implants</a> are not a permanent solution, but if taken care of properly, can last for years (many more than five years). So how long do dental implants last?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That depends on a variety of factors. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The first and most important factor is long-term care. After a dental implant is placed, it is important to brush and floss regularly. Keeping implants clean will prevent inflammation. Regular visits to the dentist will also help. Professional cleaning on a regular basis can significantly reduce implant failure.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The second factor that can influence implant success is the skill of the dentist that placed the implant. Dental implantation requires additional education that not all dentists receive in dental school. When searching for a dental implant dentist, it is important to choose one that is both certified and reputable. Dental implantology requires skills that not all dentists possess.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The third factor related to implant success is the quality of the implant or fixture being placed. Dental implantation is a field of dentistry that has exploded in popularity over the past few years. There are many companies out there producing dental implants, but not all are certified. Non-certified implants allow dentists to cut costs, which can provide a more affordable implant for patients—but can also lead to problems down the line. When undergoing the implant procedure, be sure your dentist is using certified implants and fixtures.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">How long do dental implants last today? That depends on a couple of factors. One, of course, is how well you take care of them. You need to brush and floss - keep them clean, to prevent inflammation around the implants.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">How long your dental implants last will ultimately depends on you as well as the care and expertise of your dentist. Poor quality treatment can lead to <a href="http://www.phoeniximplantdentist.com/dental-implant-failure.htm"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">implant failure</span></a> so be sure to visit a certified dentist for all your implant needs.</span></div>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-12857360615226382252011-11-28T12:59:00.000-08:002011-11-28T12:59:22.586-08:00How Much Are Dental Implants<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <style>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When considering undergoing any dental procedure, adequate research will help patients to decide which is right for them. However there is one main factor that will often contribute to a patient’s final decision—cost. This is no different for dental implants, but like many dental procedures, there are several options when it comes to dental implantation, and <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplantcosts.php" target="_blank">dental implant costs</a> can vary depending on which you choose. How much dental implants are will ultimately depend on each individual patient.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Advancements in dental implant technology have led to treatments that are less invasive and more affordable, two factors that have led to an increase in the amount of men and women who are candidates for the procedure. That being said, replacing missing teeth isn’t cheap, and choosing a specific implant procedure based solely on cost is not always the best idea. Learning about the different types of implant procedures will help patients to find an affordable option that will provide long lasting results.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dental implants have been available to patients for years. Treatments can be quite invasive, and often require multiple visits in order to complete—factors which affect the overall treatment cost. Recent advancements in technology, however, have brought about a new implant treatment option for patients—mini dental implants.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mini dental implants or MDI’s, closely mimic their more traditional counterparts, however there are several basic differences that effectively lower overall cost. </div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the great benefits of MDI’s is that only one visit to the dentist is needed for placement. In just a single appointment, patients can transform their smile.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MDI treatments are also beneficial for patients because of their minimally invasive nature. During treatment, small incisions are made in the gum line to allow for insertion of the implant into the jawbone. Once the implants are placed, no stitches are required, no downtime is needed, and patients only require a local anesthetic for the procedure. </div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The materials used are also influence the overall cost of dental implants. MDI’s are smaller than their traditional counterparts (about half the size) therefore fewer materials are used, which reduces overall cost.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The option to live with missing, broken or damaged teeth is always there, but this often causes more harm than good, and can end up costing more to fix in the long run. When asking how much are dental implants, be sure to take all factors into consideration before making your final decision.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-55576605909697050022011-11-28T11:33:00.000-08:002011-11-28T11:33:59.780-08:00Denture Stabilization with Dental Implants<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <style>

Physical discomfort, unpleasant breath, and even embarrassment due to unexpected shifting while speaking or chewing are things that all denture wearers are weary of.

This can be done using traditional dental implants or mini dental implants. </div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Denture Stabilization Procedure</b></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The dental implant treatment takes place right in your dentist’s office. Using precise, controlled surgical techniques, the implants are placed into the jawbone. The procedure begins with the administration of an anesthetic, after which small incisions are made in the gum line. A specialized drill is then used to create a place in the jawbone where the implant is inserted. The implant is then ‘screwed’ into the jawbone where it acts at the tooth root for the dentures, providing long lasting stability. </div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How The Implant Works</b></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dental implants are comprised of three essential parts:</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span>The implant. A titanium alloy implant is rooted into the jawbone using a specialized technique. The implant acts as an anchor for denture stabilization.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span>Metal housing. Metal housings will be incorporated into the base of the removable dentures; they are what connect the dentures to the implant.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">-<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span>O-ring. A rubber o-ring resides inside of the metal housing, and is what provides the seal to effectively lock the two pieces together.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When the implants are properly placed in the jawbone, only the ball-shaped head of the implant, also known as the abutment, will be visible above the gum line. The metal housing, complete with o-ring, will then be ‘snapped’ onto the protruding abutment, allowing the dentures to rest comfortably on the gum line, locking them firmly in place.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Placing several implants in both the upper and lower jaw can easily stabilize dentures. With this innovative treatment, dentures can be removed by a dentist at the patient’s convenience, for easy cleaning and adjustments. Stabilized dentures allow patients to complete everyday tasks such as speaking and eating with ease. If you are searching for long-lasting denture stabilization alternatives, consider dental implants.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-4760643430450590132011-11-23T14:27:00.000-08:002011-11-23T14:27:20.265-08:00Dental Implant Procedure<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <style>

Dental Implant procedures offer patients the opportunity to replace a single tooth, a group of teeth or an entire set of teeth, with long-lasting stable results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are dental implants right for you?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Learn about this innovative treatment and see if it can help you to enhance your smile.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/dentalimplants.php" target="_blank">dental implant procedure</a> is not something that can be completed in a single day, but the results are well worth the time and effort. During your first appointment, your dentist will assess the area to determine if you are a proper candidate. Dental implants require a certain amount of surrounding bone for proper stabilization, if candidates have enough bone mass in their jaw, treatment can begin. If not, bone grafting may be necessary.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once patients are ready to receive an implant, they will undergo dental implant surgery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are two main types of dental implant surgery:</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Subperiosteal </b>- This involves placement 'on the bone'. The artificial tooth will be placed by your dentist on top of the jaw. A metal framework in protruded through the gum line, which acts as a grip for the prosthesis. This treatment is used for patients who have a less bone height and are not proper candidates for traditional dentures.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Endosteal </b>– The opposite of subperiosteal, this treatment is done 'in the bone'. Treatment requires surgical placement of cylinders, blades or screws into the jaw bone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These act as stabilizers or ‘tooth roots’ for the artificial tooth or teeth</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The duration of the entire procedure varies from person to person depending on a variety of factors including the patient’s physical condition and anatomy. Dental implants involve several procedures and it can take anywhere from three to nine months to complete treatment, sometimes even longer. Before beginning treatment, discuss all of the pros and cons with your dentist to determine if dental implants are the best treatment for replacing your missing teeth.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>Mini Dental Implant Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12496889316377656367noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105304803759964962.post-8654601406214980422011-11-17T12:38:00.000-08:002011-12-01T11:26:12.960-08:00Mini Dental Implants for Bridges<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><style>

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dentures, crowns and bridges are all widely used methods of tooth replacement, but as dental patients who have undergone these procedures know, these forms of tooth replacement, while more affordable than other options, do not last nearly as long—and can even cause problems down the line. If you are currently searching for a tooth replacement method that will provide you with long lasting results, consider <a href="http://www.minidentalimplantsolutions.com/miniimplants.php" target="_blank">mini dental implants</a>.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mini dental implants have enhanced many forms of tooth replacement, one of which is dental bridges. A dental bridge is a false tooth or teeth, which is fused between two porcelain crowns in order to fill the gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. While this treatment is effective in replacing a single tooth or a small group of teeth, it ultimately relies on support from surrounding teeth, which, over time, can cause damage and decay.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mini dental implants for bridges will still give patients the look and feel of natural teeth, but the dental implants provide support for the bridge, eliminating the need for surrounding support. The treatment will begin with the administration of a local anesthetic. Your dentist will numb the area, after which he or she will make a small incision in the gum line, providing access to the jaw bone. A specialized drill is then used to create a small hole in which the implant will be placed. A specialized wrench is then used to ‘screw’ the implant into the jawbone, where it provides stability for the bridge by acting as the tooth root.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once the implant is firmly in place, the ball-shaped head, or abutment, will be the only part of the implant that remains visible above the gum line. The dental bridge will then be fixed with a metal housing which is socket-like in nature. This housing is what attaches the bridge to the implant. Once the metal housing is attached, your dentist will ‘snap’ the bridge onto the implant, where it will rest comfortably on the gum line, giving you the look and feel of natural teeth.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mini dental implants for bridges are a safe and effective way to replace missing teeth with longer lasting results. Without relying on surrounding teeth for support, mini dental implants will increase the life of your bridge while decreasing the chances of damaging your surrounding teeth.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
