Why Does Cleaning & Hygiene Matter?

Maintaining oral hygiene is not just about having a sparkling smile. It's a crucial aspect of your overall health. Poor dental hygiene can lead to a variety of health complications, including gum disease, tooth decay, and even heart disease. Regular cleaning and hygiene treatments at a professional dental clinic ensure that every nook and cranny of your teeth is thoroughly cleaned, something that regular brushing and flossing at home might miss. It helps to keep your teeth healthy, your breath fresh, and your smile radiant.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Prevention of gum disease: Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a serious condition that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Regular dental cleaning and hygiene treatments help to remove plaque and tartar buildup, the primary cause of gum disease. By keeping your gums healthy, you are not just preserving your smile but also protecting your overall health.
  • Professional cleaning: Regular dental cleanings allow your dentist to examine your oral health closely. This means any signs of potential problems, such as cavities, broken fillings, or even oral cancer, can be detected early. Early detection is key to effective treatment and can save you from extensive procedures and expenses in the future.
  • Boosts your confidence: A clean and healthy smile can do wonders for your self-esteem. Regular dental cleaning and hygiene treatments keep your teeth shining and your breath fresh. Whether you're at a social gathering or a professional meeting, you can smile and speak with confidence, knowing that your oral health is at its best.

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.
