Dental Implants
Patients with a missing tooth or teeth may greatly benefit from having dental implants denton placed. Unlike dentures, the dental implant procedure involves placement of a dental prosthesis to the bone of the skull or jaw, providing patients a more permanent solution. Best of all, dental implants prevent additional oral health issues from developing and return patients back to their natural full and healthy smile.
All on 4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 Dental Implants Denton are a unique type of dental implant that supports all teeth using only four implants, rather than one implant per tooth. The All-on-Four dental implant procedure involves using an implant placement plan designed specifically for your unique needs. The number of implants used for each arch is typically four to six, depending upon your particular case and what your periodontist feels is best practice.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
If it is determined that you are a solid candidate to have your wisdom teeth removal denton, your procedure will typically begin with the use of anesthesia. The type of anesthesia that is used may vary, depending upon the complexity of your case as well as your pain sensitivity. If you need heavy sedation you must have someone drive you home following your procedure. After you have had either a local anesthesia or are properly sedated, your periodontist will remove the bone tissue and gum that covers the impacted tooth
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures denton tx are the latest solution from the continued introduction of modern technology in dentistry. They are a new type of overdenture that is attached to and supported by titanium dental implants. These dental implant posts are a small surgical component(s) that connect a dental prosthesis to the bone of the jaw, becoming an artificial root. Implant supported dentures are now being recommended more often for patients who have either missing teeth or who have standard dentures and are becoming frustrated with the common issues related to them.
Gum Disease
Gum disease refers to a range of inflammatory conditions that affect tissues surrounding the teeth. Gum disease most typically presents itself as a tinge of blood on your toothbrush following brushing your teeth. If left untreated long enough, gum disease can result in the gums becoming inflamed, which can then cause the tissue and bone around your teeth to begin deteriorating.
Pinhole Gum Surgery
Patients suffering from periodontal disease may experience gum recession. If this issue is not treated at an early stage, more complicated and serious problems can develop, as gum recession creates greater exposure of your natural teeth, which creates opportunities for bacteria to build. The Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST) is a scalpel and suture free procedure that involves making small holes in your gumline through which your periodontist can loosen the gums and move them to the desired position.
Laser Gum Therapy
Laser gum therapy efficiently and painlessly treats gum disease through the use of a laser. The laser penetrates beneath the tissue surface and destroys any bacteria, plaque, or infected tissue. The laser then seals the area surrounding the tooth, which develops tissues that form around the root of the tooth. This process ensures that tissue is not reduced and facilitates the formation of collagen, bone, and new connective tissue.
Gum Recession
Gum recession is the loss of gum tissue, which results in teeth appearing to be longer than normal. If left untreated long enough, will result in tooth root exposure. Gum recession can be caused by a variety of factors, such as aggressive brushing, genetic predisposition, and/or periodontal disease. If recession is due to poor oral hygiene, a deep cleaning may be suggested to remove bacteria and debris from the gums. For patients who have advanced periodontitis, a scaling and root planing procedure may need to be performed in order to clean the teeth and address the inflammation.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is the administration of medication for patients having intensive oral procedures performed and/or who have extra sensitive teeth or anxiety related to having dental procedures performed. There are a range of sedation types, from mild, moderate, and deep sedation.
Tooth Exposure
Tooth exposure is performed to uncover a permanent tooth that has not yet erupted. This is done by making a tiny incision in your gum, through which the tooth can erupt. It is important to address impacted teeth, because failure to do so can result in painful infections developing. Tooth exposure is most commonly performed when wisdom teeth do not erupt or when children have permanent teeth that do not erupt naturally.
LANAP
LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a type of therapy that efficiently and painlessly treats gum disease through the use of a laser. There are a range of immediate and long-term benefits that you will enjoy following your LANAP treatment, including a faster recovery time and it being a significantly less painful method for killing bacteria compared to traditional methods.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy (frenulectomy) corrects issues related to a frenum. This procedure is most typically performed in children. The two most common type of frenulum’s that are treated are the maxiliary labial frenum and the lingual frenum. The procedure is typically painless and can be performed quickly.
Gum Contouring
Patients who have an imbalanced ratio between their visible gums and teeth have what is commonly referred to as a gummy smile. Gummy smiles can be caused by a range of factors, including bone deterioration, periodontal disease, or genetic predisposition. Regardless of the reason, patients often feel self-conscious about their appearance and will seek to improve this issue by having a gum contouring procedure performed. Gum contouring is one of the more common procedures performed to address this issue.
Scaling & Root Planing
When bacteria is allowed to settle on your teeth for too long, it will eventually mineralize and turn into tartar. The primary difference between plaque and tartar is that plaque can be removed by conventional brushing methods, whereas tartar will need to be removed through the efforts of your periodontist. Scaling and Root Planing is a common method used to address periodontal disease.
Laser Gum Surgery
Laser gum surgery is a type of surgery that efficiently and painlessly treats gum disease through the use of a laser. There are a range of immediate and long-term benefits that you will enjoy following your laser gum surgery and treatment, including a faster recovery time and it being a significantly less painful method for killing bacteria compared to traditional methods.
Crown Lengthening
Patients who have a gummy smile may benefit from a crown lengthening procedure, which involves removing a tiny amount of bone and gum to expose more of the tooth/teeth. Crown lengthening may be performed as a single procedure or in conjunction with other procedures, such as
treating cavities or repairing and restoring broken teeth that have been cracked or damaged. Crown lengthening is also commonly performed along with placement of a dental crown, as this procedure helps reduce damage to the gum that can occur during this procedure.
