Are you ready to receive a dental implant and address tooth loss? If you have let a missing tooth go unaddressed, failing to respond to the problem can end up complicating your candidacy. If you think tooth loss is merely a problem that concerns your smile, you should know that there are also oral health issues you need to contend with. One particular issue that can affect your candidacy for implants is the deterioration of your jawbone, which happens over time. This occurs because a lack of stimulation from your tooth root leads to a lack of nutrients being delivered to the bone. If this occurs, or if you have unaddressed issues with gum disease, you can require work in advance of receiving your implant. (more…)

Quiz: Restoring A Tooth With A Dental Crown
A damaged or vulnerable tooth can be a nuisance. A sensitive or painful tooth can be an unpleasant diversion throughout your day, and if your problem involves an infection, you could be at risk for more oral health worries.

Crowns offer total coverage above the gum line – when you select a ceramic crown, your restoration can be life-like enough to be inconspicuous. You can enjoy lasting restorative dental care provided by a dental crown; CEREC technology can ensure that you enjoy that care after just one visit. (more…)

Address Tooth Loss To Lower Your Risk For TMJ Problems
Tooth loss can make it harder to feel comfortable or natural when you bite and chew food, and it can certainly affect how you look.

TMJ dysfunction refers to problems with your jaw joints that can lead to routine pain in your face, neck, and head. Your jaw movements can also become more difficult. By receiving a dental implant, you can enjoy a stabilized restoration that you can use to more comfortably bite and chew. You also enjoy additional benefits, including a means of avoiding jaw deterioration. (more…)
Quiz: Understanding How A Dental Implant Can Help You
If your smile is incomplete because of tooth loss, your oral health can be left at a real disadvantage. The effect on your appearance can be obvious, but tooth loss will also lead to functional problems. Finding it harder to bite and chew comfortably? Over time, that discomfort can lead to problems like TMJ dysfunction. You also face a higher risk of losing more teeth. One particularly concerning problem that can take place over time is jawbone resorption – your jawbone can start to lose mass, because it is losing minerals due to the loss of a tooth root. A dental implant offers you a chance to have a smile that feels whole again – in addition to improving how you look, and your ability to bite and chew, this prosthetic support possesses the unique ability to stop jawbone resorption.

Your Crown Should Offer Full Support For Your Tooth
A dental crown made of ceramic can be an effective cosmetic solution for a problem tooth, but the restoration is also meant to be of functional value. The presence of a dental crown should not impede how you bite into or chew food. Without that total protection, you can struggle to enjoy regular jaw function, and that can lead to issues with your jaw. If you have an issue with your crown – either because of damage, or if it becomes loose without apparent cause – let your dentist know. Your tooth will always need support, and losing that support can call for intervention from your dentist. (more…)
