All-On-4 Dental Implants are a revolutionary new dental procedure designed to offer a permanent tooth replacement for individuals suffering from missing teeth across an entire row of teeth. Tooth loss is extremely common among adults, especially in old age, and the short answer is that dentures are often not the easiest or comfortable solution for adults struggling with tooth loss
Crown lengthening is a procedure to remove the excess gum tissue, exposing more of the “crown” of the tooth. The gum line is then sculpted (or sutured) to create the right proportion between gum tissue and tooth surface. This sets the stage, allowing your new veneers or crowns to have the correct length and shape.
Your bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth. When you have periodontal disease, this supporting tissue and bone is destroyed and pockets develop. Eventually, if too much bone is lost, the teeth will need to be extracted.
Sometimes when you lose one or more teeth, you can get an indention in your gums and jawbone where the tooth used to be. This happens because the jawbone recedes when it no longer is holding a tooth in place. Not only is this indentation unnatural looking, it also causes the replacement tooth to look too long compared to the adjacent teeth
The upper back jaw has traditionally been one of the most difficult areas to successfully place dental implants due to insufficient bone quantity and quality and the close proximity to the sinus. If you’ve lost bone in that area due to reasons such as periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may be left without enough bone to place implants.
There are many reasons we may find ourselves in need of oral surgery. While the word surgery may bring to mind long procedures, painful recovery periods, and the need to travel for such a specialty, this is no longer the case. To make this decision even easier, we offer many oral surgery options right in Basking Ridge.
The dentist uses the elevator to loosen up the tooth, followed by forceps to remove it completely. In more complicated cases, the tooth may be removed in pieces for patient’s comfort. The simple extraction is performed exclusively under local anesthesia.
Professional extractions are recommended when the tooth decay is severe, and nothing can be done to save the tooth, when the tooth is affected by infection or is vulnerable to infection, because of a gum disease or a health condition.
Gum disease can cause a lot of problems with both your oral health and overall health. Some cases of acute periodontal (gum) disease that does not respond to more conventional treatment options and self-care, such as flossing, may require a special kind of cleaning called scaling and root planing. Let’s look at how the scaling and root planing procedure works.
Gum recession is often easily identifiable by a patient. In addition to its unaesthetic appearance, recession may be a concern to patients because it can cause sensitivity and discomfort. It may also predispose the tooth to decay and may potentially increase during orthodontic treatment. It may even cause one tooth to look longer than the adjacent tooth root.
