Understanding Dental Implants: The Basics and Benefits
IntroductionDental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry, providing a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. This blog aims to provide readers with a basic understanding of dental implants and their numerous benefits.What Are Dental...
Is a bridge better than an implant?
Drawbacks of a bridge is that it requires shaving down adjacent teeth in order to support the bridge. Cleaning under a bridge can also sometimes be difficult. In the case of an implant you only replace what is missing and not touch any adjacent teeth. READ MORE
Can you chew gum with a traditional dental bridge?
Chewing gum for prolonged periods is never advisable especially with dental work in your mouth. The sticky nature of gum can place your bridge at risk of debonding/becoming loose over time. READ MORE
X-ray shows dark area at root tip advised to have a root canal, but have never had any symptoms should I wait
If the advise has been to get a root canal I would not wait. You should do this immediately. Many times absence of symptoms does not mean that root canal is not needed; you might have a necrotic (dead nerve) tooth which many times are not symptomatic. READ MORE
Why my jaw hurt when I open my jaw fully

What are the problems with partial dentures?
There are no problems with partial denture per se. As long as they are made well, fit well, function well and you are able to speak and smile normally, partial dentures can work very well. The good thing is also that if it does not work, it is a removable appliance that can be taken out and you can opt for something else. READ MORE
Are there any special toothbrushes available for dentures?
A denture tooth brush is available in most pharmacies and this should be good enough READ MORE
Can I clean under the bridge with a water flosser?
The short answer is yes. However you need to know from your dentist if you actually need a water flosser in order to keep the bridge clean. READ MORE
How often should you floss under a bridge?
Floss at least once a day. If you can do it after every meal that is even better. READ MORE
Can gum recession cause bad breath?

When should I change my partials?

How long is surgery for 2 dental implants?
It depends on whether you just need implants or any other grafting procedure along with it. Most times, they should not take more than 2-3 hours. READ MORE
Is implant a good option to replace a missing tooth?
It is one of the best options if you are a good candidate for the procedure. READ MORE
What exercises to avoid 3 days after implant surgery?
Any excessive physical activity is not advisable after surgery. It also depends on how many implants were placed and how extensive the procedure was. If it was a single or a few implants you should be able to slowly resume physical activity. If on the other hand if it was a full arch then I would be more cautious and give it upto 10-14 days before resuming serious physical activity. READ MORE
What implant brand is the best for molar?
The question you should be asking is what type of implant would be the best one to use for your specific situation. Many factors determine this and your dentist would be the best person to determine this. Do not be caught up with the brand but with what the specific implant can do to serve the purpose. READ MORE
Can I use a toothpaste on partial dentures?
You do not need toothpaste on dentures as they tend to be quite abrasive. Just plain water, a denture brush and a drop of dish detergent should be sufficient to clean them. READ MORE
Can I straighten only 2 teeth?
Yes you can. However, you might still need to get braces or clear aligners on all your teeth even though only 2 teeth are your main concern. READ MORE
