SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANT

One of the best way to replace a missing tooth is by placing an implant. A dental implant is made mostly of titanium metal and it acts as an artificial root.  It is placed in the jaw bone and an artificial replacement tooth is attached to the implant. Especially in the aesthetic area (front teeth), placing an implant is usually the treatment of choice. Most front teeth are lost due to severe fractures, trauma, avulsed teeth in accidents or large cavities.

The implant (part in the bone), in the photo above, was placed by our periodontist (dental specialist) and the crown (tooth part that is visible) by our dentist. The patient is very pleased with the outcome.
 
Implants can replace any missing teeth provided there is enough healthy bone and soft tissue to support the tooth. For more information The Canadian Dental Association has a site that explains the procedure and answers any questions you might have.

INVISALIGN – CREATING UNFORGETTABLE SMILES

Most adults and some teens would feel uncomfortable wearing braces. Invisalign is virtually undetectable when worn. Therefore the patient can smile with confidence while their teeth are being straightened. The cheeks and lips do not get sore like they can from the brackets and wires of conventional braces and there are no effects on speech.
Invisalign is a method of straightening teeth without using brackets and wires. Clear plastic aligners are like thin mouth guards. These aligners gradually move teeth (or align teeth) into their correct position. Approximately every 2 weeks you place new aligners and these are worn for 22 out of 24 hours daily. They are removable for eating, brushing and flossing, dental cleanings or restorations. This makes it easy taking care of your oral health during treatment.

Invisalign can give you a wonderful new smile without sacrificing convenience and comfort. We have a monitor in our waiting room with an interesting video where you can learn more about this wonderful process which has now been used to treat millions of people.

For more information or to find out if Invisalign is right for you be sure to contact our office.

Dentist Brampton, Brampton Family Dentist, Best dentist Brampton, Brampton Dental Office, Tooth Extraction, Space Maintainer,
A space maintainer is a fixed or removable appliance which is used to hold the space of a baby tooth which has been removed early. The cause of the early loss may be due to natural causes or extracted due to extensive dental decay. It is important to keep the space clear for the adult tooth to erupt properly, if not, other teeth may shift into the spot and future orthodontic treatment may be needed. It is important to consult with a dental professional to determine if a space maintainer will be necessary and if one is placed on the child’s dentition how to properly clean and care for it.

Knowing that you are at increased risk can help you develop a plan to make healthier choices. There are many factors that can increase a person’s risk of developing oral cancer:
 

Indicate ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to each of the following questions.

If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, please speak to a dental or health care provider as soon as you are able. Be sure to ask for an oral cancer screening at a dental or medical clinic.
