Dental Implants
There is a range of oral and physical health issues that can develop if a missing tooth or teeth are not treated. Dental implants Fort Worth are a popular treatment option to correct this issue. After placing a small titanium screw into your jawbone, your body will begin the process of osseointegration, whereby your natural jawbone fuses with the screw. Once this process is complete, a replacement crown is placed, which is designed to look and feel like your natural tooth.
All on 4 Dental Implants
Unlike traditional dental implants, which involve the placement of one titanium post to which a replacement tooth is attached, All-on-4 Dental Implants Fort Worth can replace all or the majority of your missing teeth through the strategic placement of four posts, two in your upper jaw and two in your lower jaw.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
To see if wisdom teeth removal fort worth is indeed in your best interests, you will want to schedule an evaluation. During this initial consultation, we will examine the overall health of your teeth, review your medical history, and determine what treatment options might be best suited to your specific needs. Our teeth and gums are as unique to us as our fingerprints; we are all different.
Implant Supported Dentures
Modern technology continues to have a positive influence on the dental industry. Implant supported dentures Fort Worth Keller TX are the latest solution combining two methods. They are like an overdenture, which is attached to and supported by the technology of titanium dental implants. These implanted titanium posts are small surgical components that connect a fabricated dental prosthesis to your jawbone, literally growing into an artificial root. Implant supported dentures are growing in popularity with those who have either missing teeth or who currently have traditional dentures and are becoming frustrated and annoyed with the faults associated with them.
Gum Disease
Approximately 75% of adults currently suffer from some form of gum disease. Gum disease is typically not caught in the early stages because symptoms of the disease occur so gradually. Contact your periodontist if you notice any of the following symptoms: gums that bleed easily; receding gums; periodontal abscess; loose teeth; halitosis; swollen or red gums; and/or extreme sensitivity.
Pinhole Gum Surgery
If you are experiencing gum recession, you may be a good candidate for the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST), an innovative new method for addressing gum recession that involves making small holes in your gumline through which your periodontist can loosen the gums and move them to the desired position. There is minimal discomfort involved with PST, and recovery time is significantly quicker.
Laser Gum Therapy
Laser gum therapy is a type of therapy that efficiently and painlessly treats gum disease through the use of a laser. There is a range of immediate and long-term benefits associated with laser gum therapy, including a faster recovery time and it being a significantly less painful method for killing bacteria compared to traditional methods.
Gum Recession
Gum recession is the progressive loss of gum tissue and can occur for a variety of reasons, the most common being periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or genetic predisposition. Once the underlying cause has been determined and treated, your periodontist may recommend a gum graft procedure, such as gum contouring, crown lengthening, or the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique.
Socket Preservation
If you need to have a tooth extracted, you may be a good candidate for socket preservation. Following the extraction of your tooth, it is important to take steps to preserve the socket. Failure to do so can result in dry sockets, or in more severe cases, jawbone deterioration. Socket preservation prevents this from happening.
Sedation Dentistry
Although a general anesthetic is often sufficient in reducing or eliminating procedural pain, there are instances when dental sedation will be recommended, either due to the invasive and lengthy nature of the procedure or to help patients who have dental phobias, anxiety, or difficulty sitting still for extended periods of time. Sedation can be administered as a gas, in pill form, or intravenously/intramuscularly, and can range in intensity from mild, medium, or heavy (deep).
LANAP
LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is the only FDA-approved laser treatment of periodontal disease. The LANAP process involves the removal of infected tissue surrounding the tooth’s root to reduce inflammation and reverse periodontal disease using a dental laser. Although it produces similar results to a scaling and root planning procedure, there are times when LANAP is able to reach infected tissue that would not be possible using traditional methods. Additional benefits include improved accuracy, reduced need for general anesthesia, and a faster healing time.
Frenectomy
Frenectomy is a procedure that is performed on one of the body's frenums, most typically the maxillary labial or lingual frenum. There is a range of issues that can develop if frenum-related issues are not corrected, including airway constriction/nasal sinus congestion, chronic mouth breathing, speech issues, periodontal disease, and more. The procedure typically involves using a laser or scalpel to separate the frenulum and is relatively quick and painless.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring is an effective treatment option for patients who have an uneven gum line or an imbalanced ratio of gum to teeth (gummy smile). The gum contouring process involves the removal of targeted amounts of gum tissue, using either a scalpel or laser, until the desired ratio of gum to teeth has been achieved, resulting in a balanced and even smile.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planning are two of the most effective methods for reversing and preventing periodontal disease from developing. When plaque accumulates, it eventually hardens into calculus, which cannot be removed using traditional brushing methods. The scaling process removes this hardened layer using specialized dental equipment, after which the surface of the roots is smoothed or planed, making it more difficult for bacteria to accumulate.
Laser Gum Surgery
Laser gum surgery efficiently and painlessly treats gum disease through the use of a laser. The laser will penetrate beneath the tissue surface and destroys any bacteria, plaque, or infected tissue. Once the infected tissue has been removed, your periodontist will use a cleaner to remove the calculus. Finally, the laser will seal the area surrounding the tooth, which also warms the stem cell, which in turn develops tissues that form around the root of the tooth.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening involves recontouring the gum line through the removal of tissue, which in turn reveals more of the natural tooth. This procedure is often done to correct a gummy or uneven smile, but can also be done prior to the placement of a dental crown to ensure there is a sufficient amount of tooth exposed to support the crown.
