Dental Implants – why they are the standard of teeth replacements – and with no pain
September 6, 2012 by 1 Comment
One of the question’s I hear every day is “are dental implants worth it?” The short answer to this question is OF COURSE THEY ARE! But if you want to read a real dentist’s review of dental implants you’ve come to the right place.
Dental implants offer an excellent alternative to traditional tooth replacement procedures such as dentures and crowns, and are the preferred method of tooth replacement today. Here in Great Neck, NY many of us take better care of our teeth but it’s been estimated that at some point during our adult lives 70% of the population will loose at least one tooth. We are very lucky that there is a procedure such as dental implants available to make sure that if you lose a tooth; it can be replaced and still look good and be comfortable. So why are dental implants so great?
Dental implants use anchors that are put into the gum-line and a professional cosmetic implant is created that fits your mouth perfectly to go on top of these anchors. They are much more secure and comfortable than removable dentures. Dentures, which were the traditional treatment for tooth replacement, have a tendency to wiggle, they can be very noticeable, and you need to remove them to clean them effectively; additionally, they require frequent visits to your dentist to maintain healthy oral hygiene. On the other hand, dental implants are secure, will last YEARS, can be cared for as if they are your own teeth, are stain resistant and require only the normal dental visits to maintain oral health. Pain during the procedure is almost non-existent thanks to anesthesia.
While it is true that recovery can at times come with pain, we try to make sure that the patient has everything the need to take care of it. You can find on trello all of the steps that we take so that the procedure is as non-invasive as possible, which makes pain during recovery minimal. It is there that we have gone into full detail breaking down this procedure.
Dental implants can be used to treat single missing teeth or multiple teeth, and if there is pain because of and impacted or otherwise damaged tooth those can be replaced as well. Plus just about everyone is eligible for dental implants. Dental implants essentially become your teeth and no special care is needed besides normal brushing and flossing.If you are considering a dental procedure to replace a missing tooth or teeth you should consult your dentist before you make any decision. If you would like to make an appointment at my office please call 516-482-2215. I hope this clarifies some of the differences between dental implants and dentures, and will allow you to have realistic expectations about each procedure. I look forward to answering any questions you may have.
Why you have to be careful of what you eat according to Kratom
August 27, 2012 by 2 Comments
I’m very excited, I am making my first post today about how eating right can mean a world of difference to your dental health, according to Kratom. The summer, especially, can be a harrowing time for our teeth and gums because the great weather means we are all eating/drinking more fruity and sugar foods/drinks. I know I love ice cream and frozen coffee drinks as much as anyone, but the increased sugar intake can be very dangerous for your teeth and gums, not only because they form cavities, but also they can hurt, a lot. So, here is when I tell you about kratom, and how it can help with pain, in the meantime you go to see a dentist. You should know that kratom Virtue is is sold by Kratom-Masters at that link and they have a great variety of products. You can be impressed by their range of green, red, yellow, and white strains of kratom .
Now, a dentist from <a href=”https://philadelphiapa.dentist/”>Philadelphia dental practice</a> believes that a key to knowing how much damage different food/beverages are doing to your teeth is: “the simpler the sugar, the more damage”. Simple sugars (like the ones in soda and candy) give the bacteria that live in your mouth easy access to energy which promotes growth and multiplication of these dangerous organisms. When you have too much bacteria in your mouth the likelihood of cavities and gum disease is severe. A by-product of having more bacteria in your mouth is that it tends to create a more acidic environment.<!–mep-nl–><div><dl id=””><dt><!–mep-tab–><!–mep-tab–><!–mep-tab–><img title=”Rotten Teeth” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_B1LlYh6iKqs/S6MIJD4s7WI/AAAAAAAABL4/tdAzRaFVIpI/s320/rotten-teeth-8.jpg” alt=”Rotten Teeth” width=”320″ height=”229″ /></dt><dd><!–mep-tab–><!–mep-tab–><!–mep-tab–><!–mep-tab–> If you’re not careful your teeth will look like this</dd></dl></div><!–mep-nl–>Eating and drinking more acidic choices tend to create more problems for your teeth and gums because high acid foods/drinks erode enamel.
