Tooth Implant Procedure And Related Complications


Tooth implants are done where one or more teeth are missing for adults. An implant is surgically placed in an opening that made in the jawbone. A dental implant is a metal post that is surgically attached to the jaw bone to support an artificial tooth. After the implant attaches to your bone, it acts as a new "root" for the crown that will replace your missing tooth.

Denture implants have normally a high success rate, but some people experience dental implant as failure and is true in small percentage of patients. It’s estimated that about 5 to 10 percent of dental implants fail, either shortly after a procedure or months or years later. Here’s what you need to know about implant failure and other potential complications.


Factors Impact Tooth Implant


Various factors can affect the success of a dental implant. These include:

1. Gum Problems
Healthy gums are a criteria for dental implant surgery, and you cannot have this procedure with any gum disease. Gum disease is an infection that can damage the gums and jaw bone. An unattended gum infection could develop around the implant and lead to failure.

2. Smoking
Smoking can also cause dental implant failure because it restricts blood flow to the gums, slowing the healing process. It is found that smokers can have a dental implant failure rate up to 20 percent.

Stop smoking one week prior to a dental implant and better not to smoke for at least two months after implant placement for its success.

3. Weak jaw bone
A successful procedure is also dependent on sufficient bone to support the implant. Without enough healthy bone, the dentist cannot surgically place the implant into your jaw. Because of osteoporosis bone density decreases and there is an increased risk of fractures and thus leads to implant failures.

4. Medical Health
Dental implant failure is a possibility for patients with disease or conditions like diabetes, which causes the body to heal at a slower pace.The use of certain medications can also lead to dental implant failure. Some medications may reduce new bone growth, thus affecting an implant fusing with the jaw bone and causes damages.

5. Lack of dental check ups
The ability to practice good oral hygiene after a dental implant also has an impact on the success rate. Thoroughly clean your teeth on a regular basis may help you from further dental issues and damages.

6. Find Expert Surgeon
Not all surgeons are good at this treatment and there’s a chance of tooth implant failure when your surgeon is not having sufficient experience in implant procedures. Also, choosing a skilled surgeon may prevent injury to the periodontal tissue.

Dental Implant Planning


A thorough examination of your mouth by a surgeon lets them assess the health of your gums and jaw bone to allow for planning the procedures to follow as part of the treatment. Careful planning helps your surgeon to identify issues that could interfere with an implant. Dental X-rays give the surgeon an idea of your overall oral health and thus can assess whether a dental implant will succeed on a patient. Understanding of your medical history, conditions also helps to plan the procedure and medications after the implant.


An experienced surgeon and his team can plan your dental treatment effectively and can save unnecessary damages in terms of money and health. Finding out the right surgeon is the key factor we advocate for your beautiful smile and better dental health.

Dental Awareness Tips - Dentist Recommendation

There are certain underlying facts that your dentist recommends to maintain good dental care by preventing serious dental problems and are listed below.

Brush twice a day- prevents cavities


Brushing your teeth twice a day cleans the food particles deposited in teeth plaque causing cavities. Plaque is a soft and sticky substance that accumulates on the teeth from food debris and bacteria. It is good to floss daily to remove the plaque at places that toothbrush cannot reach. It is good to use a toothpaste containing fluoride for easily removing plaque from your teeth and thus helps to prevent gum diseases.

Dental Checkups for Oral Cancer Possibilities


Regular dental check-ups are recommended by the dentist to examine the signs of oral cancer. The early stages of oral cancer can be diagnosed and treated early by preventing further advancements. Visiting your family dentist for regular dental check-ups and avoiding tobacco are the key factors to prevent oral cancer.

Gum (periodontal) disease affects body health



Adults are facing a common issue of losing teeth over age is because of gum diseases. Periodontist says that it is also linked with cardiac problems and even strokes. Early stage diagnosis cures gingivitis by proper treatment. Proper dental cleanings are the best preventions to do against gum diseases.

Regular Dental Cleaning


Dental cleaning is important to keep your teeth healthy and beautiful. Dental cleaning includes diagnosing oral health conditions and procedures like teeth whitening, root canal treatments, dentures and tooth implants. Regular cleaning prevents cavity formations for all age groups. It is important to consult the dentist on a regular basis to identify and prevent dental damages. As the saying goes “prevention is better than cure” is valuable advice from dentists.

Identify Bad Breath - the early symptoms


Bad breath is a problem that comes over ageing and related to many health issues or disorders. A very high percentage of people having bad breath should have some dental problems associated with it. It is better to use a mouthwash after brushing in the morning and night to prevent bad breath. Consult your dentist on the bad odour to identify any dental problems associated with it. Brushing twice a day, flossing the gaps in teeth and cleaning tongue two times a day all are steps to prevent bad breath.

Importance of Nutrition in Dental Health

The sugar from preservatives in soft drinks, non-nutritional foods and bacteria present in our mouth that produces acids may cause damages to tooth enamel. Most of the gum diseases and cavities are formed in such a way by losing the enamel. It is good to avoid beverages and foods containing sugar to retain good dental health and is always advised by dentists. Make sure to clean your mouth just after taking any drink other than water and food items. 

Don’t Hesitate Treatment for Dental Problems

Leaving your tooth problems without treatment may cause severe damages to your teeth and even nerves under the gum. It is better to consult your dentist at the start of the dental problem to get it fixed at the earliest to avoid severe damages later in life. When cavities get bigger to reach the nerve in your tooth, your only options would be to have a root canal treatment or have the tooth extraction done. So it is better to get the tooth problems fixed at the beginning itself.

Pain Related to Dental Treatments

Usually, root canal treatment is painful even after your dentist has given you minor sedation. A tooth filling is also slightly painful. Advancement of technology has made the root canal and filling painless safe. 

Toothbrush Related Problems

You have to find the bristles that suit your teeth as some toothbrush is having hard bristles. You have to change your toothbrush in a minimum of three months time to help you save your teeth from dental problems. Change your toothbrush once in a month as bacteria may accumulate in the bristles especially when you have gum diseases. You should always rinse your toothbrush with hot water after every use and change it after you have been affected by some health problems or diseases.

Easy to have a Good Dental Health

Good dental care needs no big efforts but some simple daily practices which may become your routine habits. Brushing twice a day, flossing, eating nutritional foods, cleaning mouth after drinks or food intake and regular dental check-ups are the key factors in having healthy teeth and gums. A beautiful smile from you needs good beautiful healthy teeth.

Dental porcelain veneers

    Dental veneers or porcelain veneers are custom made wafer thin shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length.

Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. You will need to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you with your dentist.
Getting a dental veneer usually requires three trips to the dentist – one for a consultation and two to make and apply the veneers. One tooth or many teeth can simultaneously undergo the veneering process
Diagnosis and treatment planning -
This first step involves your active participation. Explain to your dentist the result that you are trying to achieve, your dentist will examine your teeth to make sure dental veneers are appropriate for you and possibly make impressions of your mouth and teeth.


Preparation -
To prepare a tooth for a veneer, your dentist will remove about 1/2 millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface, which is an amount nearly equal to the thickness of the veneer to be added to the tooth surface. Before trimming off the enamel, you and your dentist will decide the need for a local anesthetic to numb the area. Then, your dentist will make a model or impression of your tooth, this is then sent out to a dental laboratory, where the veneer is constructed. It usually takes 2-4 weeks for the veneers to be made.


Bonding -
Your dentist will temporarily place the dental veneer on your tooth to examine its fit and color.He will repeatedly remove and trim the veneer as needed to achieve the proper fit, the veneer color can be adjusted with the shade of cement to be used. Next, to prepare your tooth to receive the veneer, your tooth will be cleaned, polished, and etched. Once properly position on the tooth, your dentist will apply a special light beam to the dental veneer, which activates chemicals in the cement, causing it to harden or cure very quickly. The final steps involve removing any excess cement, evaluating your bite and making any final adjustments in the veneer as necessary.Your dentist may ask you to return for a follow-up visit in a couple of weeks to check how your gums are responding to the presence of your veneer and to once again examine the veneer's placement.

Mercury-Free Restorations

     Metal crowns and fillings have held a typical place in dentistry for quite a long time. However, now you have an alternative means for restorations. With metal-free restorations, you’ll enjoy the benefits of a more natural appearance.
Metal-free crowns and fillings give you the most realistic natural appearance. Instead of being made from metal, the fillings and crowns are made from a composite or ceramic material that closely resembles your tooth. Porcelain can even be stained to perfectly match your teeth, giving you a beautiful smile.

In addition to mimicking the natural appearance of your teeth, metal-free fillings also don’t contain mercury. While the American Academy of Dentistry sates levels of mercury in metal fillings is minimal and can be considered “safe” for use, many remain concerned about using mercury in fillings. With composite fillings, this fear is resolved as the composite resin is completely free of all metals. This also makes them the perfect option for those who are sensitive to metals or have metal allergies.

Since the fillings are mercury-free, they are safe for patients of all ages and can resolve a number of oral health concerns. Using mercury-free fillings is especially important for pregnant women, where mercury fillings can increase the risk of brain damage and neurological disorders for their unborn baby. Now, pregnant women don’t have to put their oral health needs on hold as the metal-free fillings offered are a safe alternative with minimal health risks.

If you’d like to learn more about the benefit from metal-free restoration, contact us today for a consultation.

WHAT AND WHY DENTAL CROWNS ?


        The anatomy of a tooth can be divided into two basic parts,  the root and the crown. The crown is the part of the tooth visible in the mouth, above the gum line on lower teeth and below the gum line on upper teeth. A cemented restoration that partially or completely covers the outside of the tooth is referred to as a dental crown.

The dental crown is a fixed prosthetic device which is used to cap the damaged tooth. It not only protects the tooth but also enhances the appearance, shape, and alignment. These Dental crown, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. 

There are a variety of situations that require a tooth to be restored with a dental crown. 
The following are the most common:

Large filling: When a tooth has a cavity or fracture that involves half the width of the tooth or more, it needs to be covered with a crown.

Root canal: Root canal treatment leaves the tooth hollowed out and predisposes the remaining tooth to crack. So, a tooth that has had a root canal almost always needs to be restored with a crown immediately to prevent it from fracturing.

Broken cusps: Cusps frequently break off of teeth due to trauma or large existing fillings. Since the cusps are the part of the tooth that take the most stress during chewing, they need to be completely covered or the tooth or filling will keep fracturing. 

Excessive wear of teeth: If a person has a habit of grinding their teeth, the teeth will become shorter over time. The teeth can also wear away due to acid erosion caused by gastrointestinal acid or an acidic diet. Sometimes, the enamel will wear away completely, leaving small, soft teeth.


Other: Crowns are placed on dental implants to restore spaces left from missing teeth. Another way of filling these spaces is with dental bridges, which are made from crowns on the teeth next to the spaces attached to fake teeth in the middle

Our Services

By actively preventing disease and decay through regular home care, professional dental cleanings and regular exams, we’ll partner with you to maintain your healthy, beautiful smile.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums and/or bite. It primarily focuses on improvement dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment and overall smile appearance.

Denture Implant

The main idea behind dental implants is to insert a metal base or frame into the space where a tooth was, therefore securing the dentures. But there are several options when it comes to denture implants. Denture implants help preserve your jaw bone and help your mouth look more natural.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration. Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Whitening is not a one-time procedure. It will need to be repeated from time to time if you want to maintain the brighter color.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. They are a popular choice for those with chipped teeth, a gap between teeth, or misshaped teeth.

Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapy includes both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore health to the tissues that support the teeth (gums and bone) and prevent tooth loss. Dental plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease, so it's essential to remove it every day with effective brushing and flossing.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is necessary when the centre part within the tooth, known as the pulp, housing the blood vessels, nerves and living connective tissues, become infected or inflamed. The root canal procedure is performed to save a damaged or badly infected tooth, instead of extracting it.

Mercury-Free Restorations

Metal-free fillings also don’t contain mercury fillings give you the most realistic natural appearance. Instead of being made from metal, the fillings are made from a composite or ceramic material that closely resembles your tooth.

Dental Crown/Same day Crowns

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is placed over a tooth -- to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. You can now get same-day crowns, which basically means that your new teeth are designed and fitted on the same day.

Dental Implants/ Tooth Implant

Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means.


Dentists are oral health experts. They have the skills, training and expertise to know how the health of your teeth, gums and mouth relates to your general health. Each patient has unique problems and concerns and the dentist develops and carries out unique treatment plans for each individual.
