How are permanent dentures attached to implants?
Hello. There are two different ways to combine implants and dentures. One is a device called overdenture which is attached to the implants by a snap-on fashion connection. This overdenture is removable, I mean, you can remove it from the mouth for cleaning and maintenance. The other form is called Hybrids or fixed implant supported dentures which are carefully screwed or cemented to the implants by fix attachments or what we call multisystem in implant dentistry. Good look with your new dentures and God Bless you! READ MORE
Can a crown's damage be fixed?

Toothache when flying and having a cold
Hi there, lets talk hypothetically here because I don't have any reference right now. Having a cold or flying might cause some discomfort in the sinuses. Sinuses are empty or air filled cavities in our heads that get clogged when there is cold or upper respiratory infection as well as depressurize when flying due to atmospheric changes when in a airship. In both situations, all teeth close to those sinuses might experience some discomfort due to proximity of their roots and therefore nerves to these. I hope I could help you with my answer. Good bless you. READ MORE
Braces
My dear, never is too late to do anything including your teeth. But like other treatments, not always we are good candidates to undergo some procedures. When moving teeth, your dentist must be aware of the state of your teeth in general including supporting tissues (gums, bone for example) as well as overall health. So, please do not feel hopeless, you still can be a good patient to straight your teeth. Good bless you. READ MORE
is it normal to have gums pain with dentures?
Pain is never normal and is also a warning that something is wrong. The good news is that most of the time when a patient experiences pain due to dentures is because either way the denture is not fitting properly or there is a pressure point that need to be relieved. If appliance is ill and old, then you should ask your doctor for a new one. If it was recently delivered, then pressure areas must be relieved to avoid painful ulcer-like lesions. On the other hand, there are other situations where the use of dentures might cause discomfort or burning sensation. In this case, an underlying existing condition might trigger this event or the medications to treat them. Some syndromes that affect salivary glands might cause dry mouth or Xerostomy as well as the treatment for some conditions like depression or hight blood pressure. In any case, consult with your doctor for a complete evaluation and proper diagnosis. I hope my answer can help you. Thanks READ MORE
Can a deep cleaning save a tooth?
My dear, if the gum abscess is a so called periodontal abscess, then it will all depend how much tooth support structures are involved and damaged. Periodontal apparatus comprehends the gum, the ligament around roots and the bone hosting the tooth. The more the damage to these structures, the worst the prognosis. Deep cleanings help to manage the progression of Periodontal Disease but again if the damage is too extensive, it might be too late. Consult with your doctor for a complete evaluation and proper diagnosis. Thanks. READ MORE
Can gum recession around a crown be fixed?
My dear, gum recession is an unwanted event that can be very distressful. When a crown is present, it might also present an esthetic concern for the patient due to exposure of crown margins. Some dentists cover that deficiency with filling materials but this will only add to the problem and worsens the recession. Crowns are made of porcelain and other materials that are not compatible with filling composites. This will create an interphase that will provide bacteria an excellent area to grow. In this case, the best option would be a new crown if recession is visible to protect area and enhance esthetics. You might choose no to get a new crown so in this situation just try not to traumatize the area when brushing to avoid more recession. I hope my answer can help you. Thanks READ MORE
worried
I hope you feel better and this situation did not escalate. Infections are always a big concern. Augmenting a a very strong antibiotic and it should help. The body response to infections are enhance with the use of antibiotics. But this might take some time and it differs from patient to patient. The most important thing is when and how to recognize that the antibiotic is not fighting the infection. The are to mayor complications and life threatening conditions that have to be taken seriously, both of them associated with tooth infection. One is Cavernous Sinus abscess and the other is Ludwig's Angina. The first is and infection spread to the brain and the second to the the neck. In both cases, it's important when to recognize that infection is not resolving but getting worse. Upper teeth infections will progress fast and if not resolve in the next 24 hours, then it will cause swelling around the eye (orbital edema), this might preclude the infection is about to spread to the brain. Lower teeth infections are more prone to move downward and if uncontrolled, they will cause a swelling around the neck shocking the glottis suffocating the patient to die. This event is precluded by an elevation of the floor of the mouth pushing the tongue to the palate. In any of these two situations do not hesitate and waste your time calling your doctor and go straight to the ER. This decision will safe your life. I hope you get better soon and if you are then please use this information for love ones and yourself int he future. Thanks READ MORE
Can you eat normally with Invisalign?
Hi there. Invisalign must be use as much as 20 hours a day. The other four hours are meant to be removed for cleaning, maintenance and for you to eat and drink other than water. The only thing you can do with aligners in the mouth is to drink water, nothing else. This will preserve plastic device the time it should be use (each one of them for about two weeks) READ MORE
How long do All-on-4 dentures last?
Hi there. In medical field 2 + 2 is not always four. This is the way you should think about any treatment. Every restoration in your mouth depends on the way it was planned, the executor and yourself. You are an important part of your treatment because you should look after for maintenance once the treatment is completed. The history of implants is promising but relatively short because this new technology is young and changing on daily basis. Just ask your doctor the right questions and options available. Thanks READ MORE
Gums receding after veneers
Hi there. Brown lines mean root exposure. Remember, enamel is part of the crown of the tooth, not the root. So when you have gum recession what you are showing is the root of the tooth. It can be fixed with new veneers because gum recession is a non reversible event. There are a few surgical procedures to enhance gum in the esthetic zone but in my humble experience I would not recommend them. on the other hand, you might avoid this from getting worse by using soft cell brushes and creamy tooth paste (never use grainy toothpaste). Aggressive toothpaste that patient use to polish teeth surfaces are very erosive and cause gum trauma. Last but not least, use a massage-like motion from the gum to the tooth in one movement fashion so you treat your gum gentle. Believe me, your gums will thank you. READ MORE

Get to know Dentist Dr. Pedro Quesada, who serves patients in Coral Springs, Florida.
Dr. Quesada is an oral surgeon in private practice - Dr. Quesada & Associates, PA - conveniently located in Coral Springs, Florida. He offers every type of dental treatment from the simplest restorative, to extensive surgical procedures with the sole purpose of providing complete dental rehabilitation.
A well respected professional and loved by his peers and patients, one of Dr. Quesada’s professional satisfactions is to provide complete recovery of dental health to his patients who do not need to be referred out of his offices. What really differentiates him from other dental practitioners is expressed in his slogan - “Making Top Quality Dentistry Affordable”. This is demonstrated every day while practicing where outstanding holistic practicing is combined with affordable prices.
Relating to his academic background, Dr. Quesada received dental education in Cuba in the 90’s and later in the United States at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine. During his time at Nova, he spent two years of advanced education using his surgical background. He decided not to limit his spam of practice as a surgeon but as a general dentist to accomplish one of his main goals - to provide excellent comprehensive dental care. It is in this institution where he also acknowledged that special needs patients are undertreated.
While working as an associate in South Florida, Dr. Quesada realized that a majority of his patients could not afford dental treatment either because of lack of insurance coverage, economical restraints or due to poor comprehensive dental education. These were strong reasons to master the overall skills in general dentistry and cover a broad span of practice in all specialties.
Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.
A workaholic, Dr. Quesada is professionally addicted to spending time with his patients, but he also has a passion - spending quality time with his family. He is married to Yanet Calero, also a doctor from Cuba, who is fulfilling her dream of becoming a dentist in the United States. He has two boys, Ian Pablo and Nathan Quesada.
