Unconscious Sedation Dentistry with General Anesthesia
Unconscious Sedation with General Anesthesia provides patients with a drug-induced loss of consciousness during which patients are unaware of pain. Unconscious sedation is an option for any dental procedure, and can be
requested for a variety of reasons. Mentally retarded patients and very young children who can’t stand dental procedure are excellent candidates for unconscious sedation dentistry. This makes it possible to do all the dental work of the patient in one session.
Implants
A dental implant is used to support one or more false teeth. It is a titanium screw that can replace the root of a tooth when it fails. Just like a tooth root, it is placed into the jawbone. They provide support for artificial (fake) teeth,
such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Are tooth implants safe?
Dental implants are very safe, but they are not for everyone. Some pre-existing health conditions can make it hard for your body to handle any form of surgery or healing. If you regularly or subconsciously grind teeth, have uncontrolled diabetes, gum disease or jaw irradiation following a cancer diagnosis, these situations don't bode well for dental implants.
Why do I need dental implants?
When a tooth is lost due to injury or disease, a person can experience complications such as rapid bone loss, defective speech, or changes to chewing patterns that result in discomfort. Replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and health
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on aligning your bite and straightening your teeth. You might need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted or gapped teeth. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers.
What are the advantages of orthodontics?
The cosmetic benefits of orthodontics are clear. But these treatments offer functional and health-related advantages as well:
•When your teeth are in proper alignment, they’re much easier to clean.
•Straightening your teeth can improve chewing and speech function.
•Orthodontic treatment can ease pain related to TMJ disorder.
•An aligned bite can reduce your risk for cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues.
•Orthodontics can help you achieve and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.
