Dental Implants
A dental implant is a treatment used to replace a missing tooth at Facial Dental Excellence. Unlike traditional tooth replacements, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone. This keeps them secure and helps them bond with the jawbone. This bond strengthens the jawbone and allows it to work like normal. WHO IS A SUITABLE CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS? Teeth replacement options vary depending on your situation and your goals. If you are healthy enough for surgery, have good oral health, and want to replace your missing teeth, you may be a good candidate for dental implants. Dental implants are ideal for people who have broken teeth, worn teeth, or teeth that are too small. Dental implants are also a common choice because dental implants are permanent. Unlike other types of restoration, dental implants are intended to be a permanent solution, rather than a temporary fix. THE DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE Consultation A consultation is the first step of the dental implant procedure. Your dentist will assess your jaw and take X-rays. He or she will refer you to an oral surgeon if necessary. Dental Implant Surgery If dental implants are the right option for you, your dentist will refer you to an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon will perform the dental implant surgery. He or she will insert screws into your jawbone. The oral surgeon may place the implant and a temporary crown as well. Over the next few months, the jawbone will heal around the new dental implant and fuse with it. Osseointegration After the implant has fused with the jawbone, you will return to your general dentist’s office. Your dentist will fit you for a dental crown, which matches your surrounding teeth. THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS Tooth loss can affect your appearance and your confidence, but dental implants can improve both. Dental implants are permanent replacements for lost teeth that look and feel natural. The implant itself is made of a titanium screw that is surgically implanted into the jawbone. Once it has properly healed, the implant will fuse to the bone, providing a firm foundation for the replacement tooth.The dental implant itself acts much like a tooth root, providing stimulation to the jawbone and preventing bone recession. If a patient loses a tooth but leaves it untreated, the bone in that area will resorb or shrink away. This can cause the cheeks to sag, creating a prematurely aged appearance. Dental implants can prevent bone loss and restore a more youthful appearance. For the best care tailored to your specific needs, contact Facial Dental Excellence from your nearest location.

At Facial Dental Excellence, orthodontic treatment corrects improperly aligned teeth and bites. This can improve appearance, but it also improves dental health. Teeth that are aligned properly and wear evenly are less likely to chip, crack, or wear down. Misaligned teeth can also trap food particles and make it more difficult to brush and floss effectively. Orthodontics treats malocclusions, crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and more. These conditions affect dental health and may cause difficulty eating, chewing, and speaking. WHEN DO YOU NEED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT? Impacted Teeth Impacted teeth are those that haven’t erupted properly through the gums. This can happen when a tooth is trapped underneath another tooth. It can also happen when certain teeth are blocking the path of other teeth from coming out. Many problems can occur with impacted teeth. Crossbite Crossbites can cause several problems including tooth damage, uneven tooth wear, and jaw pain. In addition, people with crossbites are often self-conscious about their appearance. Deep Bite Some patients need orthodontic treatment due to deep overbites. A deep bite can cause gum recession. This can result in sensitivity, or even expose the root of the tooth. This can lead to tooth structure loss, tooth decay, cavities, and even tooth loss. Misaligned Jaw Having misaligned jaws, or malocclusion can be painful. Your jaw joints, or temporomandibular joints, can become strained due to an uneven bite. This can lead to headaches, earaches, and even migraines. TYPES OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENTS Clear Aligners Clear aligners are a popular type of orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth without wires or brackets. Clear aligners are a series of clear, BPA-free plastic trays, which you wear over your teeth. They move your teeth using controlled force, similar to how braces work. Ceramic Braces Ceramic braces are the strongest and least visible type of braces. The brackets of these braces are made of a ceramic material that is more delicate than metal, allowing the brackets to be translucent. They are only used on patients who require significant orthodontic treatment. Lingual Braces Lingual braces, also known as “hidden braces,” are a type of orthodontic treatment that is placed behind your teeth. They are completely invisible to others, making them a popular choice for adult and teenage patients who don’t want to wear traditional metal braces. Invisalign Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth without the use of metal wires or brackets. The aligners are designed to be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, and they should be changed every two weeks. At Facial Dental Excellence, Invisalign is a device that straightens teeth without wires or brackets by using a series of clear, removable aligners. Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, so you can smile confidently both during treatment and after. They’re also removable, so you can eat your favorite foods and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine. Invisible™ The InvisibleTM is a type of clear braces that are fitted on the teeth like traditional braces. The Invisible™ is for you who want to straighten your teeth. Invisible™ aligner trays are personalized and molded to the shape of your teeth. These clear aligners gradually improve appearance and function by applying gentle, consistent pressure to your teeth, which stimulates constant movement activity making your smile in a proper orthodontic position. INVISALIGN VS. TRADITIONAL BRACES Traditional braces come with brackets and wires. Brackets are bonded to the teeth, and wires connect one bracket to the next. These wires are tightened over time, and the tightening process can be uncomfortable for patients. Treatment with Invisalign is nearly invisible. Instead, patients wear clear aligner trays over their teeth. The trays are removable, so patients do not have to worry about them impacting their speech or diet. THE BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN Invisalign clear aligners can give you a discreet, comfortable experience. The clear aligners are customized for your smile, which eliminates the discomfort that can sometimes result from ill-fitting retainers or braces. The aligners are removable, which allows you to brush and floss normally. There are no wires to trap food or plaque, which helps contribute to better oral hygiene. HOW LONG DOES INVISALIGN TAKE? The length of your Invisalign treatment will depend on your needs and goals. On average, most patients complete their Invisalign treatment in about 12-18 months. Invisalign aligners are custom-made just for you. All you have to do is wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, removing them to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will move in tiny increments until they have straightened to their final position. ARE INVISALIGN BRACES PAINFUL? Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable. Unlike conventional braces, they do not contain brackets or wires, so they do not irritate the mouth, gums, or cheeks. Invisalign aligners are made through a combination of BPA-free plastic and polyurethane, so they will not cause allergies or irritation. Invisalign aligners are also removable, so patients do not have to restrict their diets to avoid damaging their braces.

At Facial Dental Excellence, dental cosmetics include veneers, dental crowns, and teeth whitening. Some patients choose a combination of these services for a comprehensive smile makeover. Veneers can correct the appearance of uneven teeth, chipped teeth, and teeth with gaps between them. Dental crowns can improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen or have large fillings. Teeth whitening can brighten the smile. WHAT DETERMINES THE CANDIDACY FOR COSMETIC DENTISTRY? Candidates for cosmetic dentistry include people who are concerned about the appearance of their smiles. Cosmetic dentistry can address a wide variety of concerns, from discoloration and staining to cracking and gaps between teeth. If a patient suffers from a medical condition such as diabetes, they may be subject to certain restrictions and limitations. TYPES OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY Whitening Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments that brighten teeth by removing stains caused by smoking, certain foods, and the natural aging process. Veneers Veneers can repair a wide variety of dental problems, from chipped teeth to discoloration. Veneers can create beautiful smiles, and because they are made from porcelain, they are stain-resistant. Veneers can help people with misaligned teeth, gaps, and tooth discoloration. Dental Crowns A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns are used to protect a damaged tooth, support a dental bridge, restore a fractured tooth, or cover a dental implant. Dental Implants Dental implants are a popular cosmetic procedure among teens and adults. They are permanent solutions that look and feel natural. Dental implants are made of titanium so they integrate with your jawbone and are permanently fixed in your mouth. THE BENEFITS OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY Improved Confidence Having cosmetic dental work done allows you to improve the appearance of your smile. Having a healthy smile can give you the confidence you need to express yourself and greet people you encounter during the day. Improved Speech The shape of your teeth can also affect speech. If you have a lisp or trouble pronouncing certain sounds, cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers and dental crowns can improve your ability to speak clearly. Improved Dental Function Cosmetic dentistry can improve overall dental function and appearance. For example, a dental bridge can replace a missing tooth. This can prevent the teeth on either side of the gap from shifting out of alignment. It can also prevent teeth from shifting into the gap as well, causing additional dental problems down the road.
