Learn Your Dental Implants Options & Some Of Their Benefits

As far as tooth replacement options go, dental implants are a really great one for a lot of different reasons. For one thing, they provide a very sturdy foundation for replacement teeth because they literally fuse to your jawbone through a process called “osseointegration.” This means that they won’t come loose and will behave much like your natural teeth.
In contrast, traditional dentures that use suction and adhesive to stay in place – while also a very good option for some patients – place the chewing force on your gumline instead of your jawbone.
The effect that your jawbone gets from this is also a very good thing. By filling the spaces left by your tooth roots and stimulating your jaw, implants actually help to prevent jawbone deterioration. This keeps your jaw healthier and also helps in cosmetic ways because it prevents you from getting a “sunken in” look that often occurs when patients lose teeth.
Another big factor that pushes patients toward choosing implants when they’re on the fence is that they can help you regain up to 90 percent of the chewing power that your natural chompers provided. Just because your dental situation changes as you get older doesn’t necessarily mean that your tastes in food will so it can be very encouraging to know that you won’t have to change your diet with your replacement teeth.
Some patients also love that implants are extremely convincing in the way they feel, function, and look in your mouth. It would be very difficult for someone to notice that your teeth are not your real teeth once you replace them with implants options. And because they’ll work so similarly to your natural teeth, you may even forget yourself sometimes!
Dental implant tooth replacements are also convenient for patients in that they do not require any special care. You’ll be able to maintain the same optimum oral hygiene habits that you do with natural teeth. All you’ll have to do is:

And finally, our patients often comment on how great it is that their implants will last for a very long time or even the rest of their lives if they take care of them properly. You won’t have to visit us and completely replace the treatment after a decade or so in the way that you might have to with other options.
As mentioned above, we have a large variety of options for our patients to consider if they want to get some kind of implant tooth replacements. We’ll review your particular case with you and make recommendations based on your current situation and the goals you have in mind.
We’ll go more in-depth about treatment options when you visit us for your consultation, but here’s a list of the implant restorations we provide and a little basic information on each of them:

No matter the treatment you visit us for, we will do all we can to make your experience as pleasant as possible.

Follow These Steps If You Knock Out A Tooth

The first thing you should do when you knock out a tooth is try not to panic. We know this is easier said than done, but the calmer you are, the more quickly and efficiently you’ll be able to address the situation.
If your mouth is bleeding, try to stop that as soon as possible. You can use a piece of gauze, a cotton ball, or even a clean paper towel to apply gentle pressure.
The sooner you visit a dentist after knocking out a tooth, the better your chances will be to get it put back in place. Try to see us within thirty minutes if at all possible.
When you pick up the knocked out tooth, be sure to do so by the crown of the tooth (the portion that’s normally visible above your gumline). NEVER handle a knocked out tooth by the roots because this could decrease the likelihood of being able to save the tooth.
If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with clean water to get rid of the debris.
If you’re able to, put the tooth back in its socket until you can see us.
Pain or some other issue may keep you from being able to put the tooth back in its socket. If this is the case, put the tooth in a small, clean container filled with saliva or milk to keep it moist until you can get to our office.
If you are dealing with dental pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle. You can also apply an ice pack to your face in the area where the tooth got knocked out. This will not only help numb the area, but could also help reduce inflammation and keep swelling to a minimum.

Consume These Teeth-Staining Foods & Drinks In Moderation

If a food or drink is darkly and heavily pigmented, there’s a good chance that (if consumed often enough and in large enough quantities) they can eventually stain your teeth. But color is not the only indicator of whether or not a food or drink can stain teeth.
Because they can weaken enamel, acidic foods and drinks can also cause discoloration in your smile. The same goes for anything you consume with a high sugar content, but especially something that you consume over a long period of time, like hard candy that dissolves slowly.
Some food items can cause a double or even a triple whammy for your smile as far as staining power. For example, a lemon-flavored hard candy combines sugar and citrus and a glass of tomato juice combines acidity and a dark red color.
We don’t want you to stop eating or drinking things you love, but if you want to keep your smile bright and white, you should probably be aware of how much of the following foods you consume:

Of course, any juices made with the fruits and vegetables listed above could also stain your teeth potentially. Here are some other beverages that could eventually discolor your pearly whites:

Even if you’re careful about what you eat and drink and try to keep the beauty of your smile in mind, you could eventually stain your teeth. But if you want to brighten your smile back up, we can help you at Lakewood Dental Centre.
We offer options for both in-office and take-home whitening kits that are professional strength. Regardless of which one you pick, your pearly whites will be noticeably brighter before long.

Keep Regular Dental Cleanings & Exams For Your Smile’s Sake

Did you know that your enamel is the single hardest substance that naturally occurs in the human body? Also, even though the surface of your teeth seems perfectly smooth, did you know that there are actually small imperfections and grooves in your enamel that are so small not even a single bristle from your toothbrush can fit inside them to clean them?
You might think that you’d be able to clean your teeth well enough on your own but hopefully these two facts help to put things in perspective: your teeth are tough, but they are not without weaknesses and can become damaged if you don’t have professional help.
When you visit our office for a routine cleaning, we will use special instruments to thoroughly clean all of your teeth. We’ll also floss between all of your teeth and may provide a rinse for you. But getting a thorough cleaning isn’t the only reason you should visit us twice a year.
We also check for signs of tooth decay and other issues when you visit us. By seeing us regularly, we’ll be able to catch signs of problems as soon as possible instead of addressing them once they’ve gotten so bad they’re causing you pain. This allows us to use more affordable, less invasive restorative dentistry treatments to fix your smile woes.
While professional smile help is very important, you also shouldn’t overlook the importance of your own oral hygiene habits. If you’re not already, you should do the following every day:
