Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental implants are an optimal means of replacing teeth. Furthermore, they are a great alternative to bridges, partials, and dentures.

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, dental implants are the only dental restoration option that preserves natural bone, actually helping to stimulate bone growth.

What is a Dental Implant?

An implant consists of an artificial tooth root made of titanium, resembling a screw. These are placed within your jaw bone, allowing it to bond with your natural bone. Crowns are custom-made to your mouth, matching your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Implants are known for their benefits compared to other tooth replacement methods. Dental implants are comfortable, and they feel and look like natural teeth. Moreover, they provide a stable foundation as there are no issues with dentures and adhesives. Lastly, there are no worries with teeth shifting, they help protect the overall structure, and normally last a lifetime.

What does the process consist of?

First, the tooth must be extracted. Bone grafting may also be done at this time to keep a stable platform for the implant. Generally, you can expect 2-4 months of healing time.

Next, we place the implant with 3-6 months of healing time.

Then, we’ll take molds of the implant site for crown construction and the part that attaches the crown to the implant. Patients can expect 4-6 weeks of laboratory time.

Lastly, we attach the implant and cement in the crown.

Teeth Whitening Services for Your Best Smile

 

Are you interested in having a brighter smile for the holiday season? What about an upcoming life event? Or, maybe just because? We can help you get a whiter and brighter smile! There are many forms of teeth whitening available, and we’re here to share the options with you!

What causes tooth discoloration?

Teeth are like sponges. They absorb what you eat and drink, which can lead to stains and discoloration. In addition, tobacco use, medications, genetics, and age are all factors that can impact the look and health of your teeth.

Teeth whitening options

There are many whitening methods that can help remove stains from your teeth. For instance, toothpaste, mouthwash, and bleaching agents.

At-home teeth whitening

First, let’s talk about whitening toothpastes. These are gentle enough for use at home and generally, work by polishing teeth to remove surface stains. However, whitening toothpastes don’t work as well as professional products to remove deeper stains.

Second, you can get professional whitening products from your dentist to help you achieve a brighter smile from the comfort of your own home. For example, your dentist can make custom whitening trays for you to wear and whiten your teeth at home.

Consult your dentist first

Before you choose a whitening option, it’s best to consult with your dentist first. He or she will be able to assess the stains on your teeth and determine the best whitening treatment plan for you.

At Reflection Ridge Dental, we offer a variety of cosmetic services, including whitening treatments, Invisalign, tooth replacement, and more. In addition, we offer comprehensive dental services for the whole family.

Schedule an appointment with us so you can flash your brightest smile this holiday season.
