Best Teeth Loss Correction with Dental Implants

A dental implant is a form of cosmetic dentistry used to replace missing teeth for a look and feel that is natural. They are surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments. The procedure involves attaching the implants to the jawbone and gum tissue to become a stable base for one or more custom artificial replacement teeth, called dental crowns.

Common Causes of Tooth Loss:

There are many reasons a person might be missing teeth. The most common is tooth decay, which is related to gingivitis. Teeth that are not properly cared for decay over time. if left untreated, these teeth can become loose and fall out. Missing teeth may also be linked to other oral diseases, including periodontal (gum) disease.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Replace missing teeth with the look and feel of natural teeth without having to "cut down" healthy teeth.
• Dental implants help stop the progressive bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone by "mimicking" the roots of natural teeth.
• Eliminate irritated and painful gums.
• Improve your speech by eliminating or reducing the "fullness" of full or partial dentures.

Types of Dental Implants:

Implants rely on titanium fixtures inserted into the jawbone. There are three types of dental implants are available

Transosteal:

These implants consist of a metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue.

Subperiostea:

These implants consist of a metal framework that attaches on top of the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue.

Endosseous:

These implants are usually shaped like a screw or cylinder and are made either of metal, metal covered with ceramic, or ceramic material. They are placed within the jawbone. There are also blade-shaped endosseous implants.

If you have gaps in your smile where your permanent teeth used to reside, you may find that more is missing from your life than just teeth. You may also miss out on good nutrition and even social engagements. Dental implants along with artificial teeth are often a good option to fill the gaps left by tooth loss. Many people find that dental implants are more comfortable, efficient and secure than are dentures or bridgework.

Bleaching is a common and popular chemical process used to whiten teeth.Discolouration occurs in the enamel and can be caused by medication, coffee, tea and cigarettes. Discolouration also can be hereditary or due simply to getting older.

Bonding

Bonding is tooth-colored material used to fill in gaps or change the color of teeth.

Crowns

Crowns, also known as caps, cover a tooth to restore it to its normal shape and appearance.

Veneers

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth to change the color or shape of your teeth.

Contouring and Reshaping

Best Orthodontic Treatment in India

                                 

Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that is concerned with the development and management of irregularities and abnormalities in the teeth and jaws. If you have crooked teeth and/or a misaligned bite, there are a variety of treatments that can help straighten your teeth, including braces and retainers. If the patient decides to proceed with treatment, an appointment with orthodontists is needed to collect records.  The record includes the following

Ø Impressions from which plaster models of the teeth are constructed.

Ø  X-rays of the teeth and jaws.

Ø  Photographs of the teeth and face.

Records allow the orthodontist to analyze each case accurately. They are also used to record the existing malocclusion for future reference. In some cases, a removable retainer will be all that's necessary. In other rare cases especially when there is an extreme overbite or underbite, surgery may be necessary. In most cases, however, braces will be needed.

Generally, there are three types of braces that are

1) Brackets: Made of stainless steel or tooth-colored ceramic or plastic, brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth. Ceramic orplastic brackets are often selected for cosmetic reasons. Plastic brackets may become stained and discolored by the end of treatment. Another disadvantage of ceramic or plastic brackets is that they cause more friction between the wire and brackets, which can increase treatment time.

2) Traditional bands: These are the generally outdated "full metal-mouth" look, which consists of the use of metal brackets soldered to metal bands that wrap around each tooth.

3) Lingual-type brackets: These are brackets that attach to the back of teeth, hiding the bracket from view.

Orthodontic Braces

Advantages of braces:

• Straighten teeth
• Correct an irregular bite
• Close unsightly gaps
• Bring teeth and lips into proper alignment
• Better appearance of teeth, smile and face 
• Improved self-esteem, confidence, well-being and feeling of acceptance 
• A more even bite 
• Reduce risk of injury to protruding front teeth 
• Improve dental growth in a positive manner
• Correct harmful habits 
• Better jaw alignment, proportion and function 
• In young children, orthodontic treatment also may guide proper jaw growth and permanent tooth eruption.

Disadvantages of braces:

• Discomfort and pain
• Food can get stuck in the brackets.
• Keeping good oral hygiene can be more difficult especially flossing.
• You cannot eat certain foods such as hard candy, tough meats, etc.
• Your teeth may become stained in certain cases from the bracket
• Your lips may get cut up.
• Your physical appearance will be different.
• You will have to go to your orthodontist usually once a month for adjustments which can lead to a couple day of minor discomfort. There is pain associated with the adjustments.

Most of these braces disadvantages are not enough for people to warrant not getting their teeth straightened.  Dental braces are a great form of self improvement and help build confidence.

Affordable Dental Implants in India

A dental implant is a "root" device, usually made of titanium, used in dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing teeth. It can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including crowns, implant-supported bridges or dentures. They can also be used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement. The use of dental implants permits unidirectional tooth movement without reciprocal action. 

Dental implants are made of a variety of materials, such as titanium, aluminium oxide and surgical stainless steel. The devices are firmly attached to the jaw bone through surgery and implant posts provide a comfortable, stable support on which artificial teeth can be secured. 

There are two types of implants:

1) An endosteal implant is placed directly into the bone, like natural tooth roots and can be used for many purposes. A single pin can be inserted through an existing tooth to strengthen and stabilize it. Other styles can provide an anchor for one or more artificial teeth. 

2) A subperiosteal  implant consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with Endothelial implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.

Dental Implants India

                                          

Dental Implantology is a set of surgical techniques aiming at the functional rehabilitation of a patient affected by total or partial edentulism, by using dental implants, i.e. metal elements surgically inserted in the mandibular or maxillary bone, or above them but under the gum. These elements are fitted with connectors to fasten them to fixed or removable prostheses, to enable chewing functionality. Such implants can have different shapes; they can be inserted in different positions, with different techniques, and then connected to prostheses at different times.

Currently, implants are almost all made of titanium. Dental implants are man-made tiny titanium posts. They are inserted in the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes and are surgically placed into the jawbone.

Dental implant surgery is generally carried out under local anesthesia. This means that your mouth will be numb but you will stay awake.

Benefits of dental implant:

1. Unlike dental bridge, implants do not require the grinding of adjacent teeth for support.

2. Implant restores the ability to chew properly, thus allowing a healthy and complete diet.

3. Enables you to speak properly.

4. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.

5. Many patients report that implants, despite the initial costs are more comfortable in long term than other conventional techniques and are considered the best option for replacement of teeth.

In India the dental implant cost in India starts around $500 which is very cheap compared to other countries like US and UK where implants cost is around $1200.
