3. Porcelain Veneers For A Perfect Smile In order for porcelain veneers to be applied, the dental professional removes a very tiny amount of the initial enamel from the tooth (less than a millimeter); the reason for doing this is so that there is enough room for the veneer to fit and allow the tooth to function in an efficient manner, and at the same time provide the appearance of a healthier tooth. In order for the veneer to function properly, there must be a strong bond between the original tooth enamel and the veneer.  When scheduling to have veneers added to your teeth, you will need several dental impressions made in order that the dental specialist can ensure your veneers look as perfect and real as possible. Once the impressions are perfected, the specialist make a wax version of your veneers; this wax version, called the “wax-up” is what will be placed on your teeth and you will wear until the permanent ones are made.  Once these impressions are made; your dentist will help you decide on the perfect shade the porcelain veneers will be. You will want the veneers to be whiter than the surrounding teeth, but not too white that they appear unnatural. Your dental professional will have a chart of colors that you can choose from to make the porcelain veneers appear as natural as possible. Your new veneers must match not only your skin tone; but also the surrounding teeth in your mouth. The job of choosing the correct shade can be a difficult; one shade off can totally throw off the entire look you are trying to achieve. 

4. What Are Porcelain Veneers? Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers, are shells of tooth-coloured materials custom-made to provide a wafer-thin “cover” for the front surface of one’s teeth that improve their appearance. Once secured to the front of the teeth the color, size, shape, and length can be changed. Because they completely makeover your smile, they are considered cosmetic dentistry, but there is no surgery involved and they are far less invasive than crowns. Porcelain is used because it resists staining and looks more natural than composite materials.  Veneers are used in cases where braces or other orthodontic methods would be ineffective. In today's fast-paced world where instant results are applauded, the two week wait time for these is the best option for some. With veneers coming in anywhere from one to two thousand dollars per tooth, which is better than crowns. The benefits of both are the fact that they are done and permanent. Veneers that are done properly remain to look good as long as you take care of your mouth.  Crowns can be made to look aesthetically pleasing as well as veneers, but a crown encompasses an entire tooth. This is great for strengthening an already weak tooth. For a healthy tooth that just needs reshaping, it is unnecessary as more of the enamel has to be filed off to make room for the crown. If you are looking to simply make your smile look better, veneers should be the first thing to consider because it just lays on top. 

5. What is 4 Implant Dental Treatment? All-on-4 is a complete and modern approach to placing a full arch of replacement teeth, permanently. Four dental implants stabilize the replacement teeth using available bone. The treatment avoids the need for bone grafting. Special supports allow a temporary set of dentures to be placed. A modified diet is prescribed to allow gum tissues to heal. The implants integrate with natural bone and six months later, the final bridge is placed.  This approach involves multiple appointments. There are one or two appointments just for consultation purposes. The placement of the implants with temporary teeth are a separate appointment and naturally, there are check-ups during the healing period. The final appointment is to place the final bridge. Yay!  This is an expensive procedure and while it will vary from dentist to dentist and different scenarios, it can cost between twenty thousand and fifty thousand dollars. Some practices make extractions a part of the initial costs, but your mouth will need a little preparation and that is another expense. Practices can bill by procedure code per tooth, per jaw, or as a whole if it will make it more affordable. Most practices are going to work with you on price and financing as much as possible. 

6. 4 Implant Treatments - Dental The idea behind the all-in-4- dental implant surgery is that through the use of this new surgery the tooth or teeth are surgically replaced by a surgical procedure in which the root of the missing tooth/teeth is replaced with metal screw like posts that hold in the artificial teeth, which act much the same way the original teeth did. This new surgery offers a new alternative to what previous bridgework and dentures can do; without the additional issues of faulty bridgework or dentures that constantly need replacement and adjusting and are very high maintenance.  How do you know if dental implants are the choice for you?  If you have one or more missing teeth  Your jawbone has reached its full growth  You must have an efficient amount of bone available in order to for the bone grafts to securely attach  You must have healthy oral tissues  No health conditions that prevent effective healing of bones  You can't or won't wear dentures  If you are interested in improving your speech abilities  Have several months available in which to commit to the entire process of getting dental implants. 

7. What Are Dental Bridges and What Do They Do? What are dental bridges?  Dental bridges are false teeth they are supported by their neighbouring teeth to replace one or more missing teeth.  These can be fixed dental bridges which are attached permanently. They can removable, which is essentially a denture. The false tooth is then anchored in between two porcelain crowns. The crowns are what actually bridge them together. Fixed dental bridges can also be used to replace just one tooth.  Bridges are generally recommended when one or more teeth are missing that affect your:  Smile, appearance, and confidence  Bite  Speech  Facial bone structure  Oral health- Gum disease and tooth decay, can occur as a result of food that accumulates in the gap 

8. Dental Bridges As An Option For Dental Treatment The bridge does not require surgery as dental implants do; only requiring a few return visits to your dental provider to get the bridge fitted, and the main difference is that if the patient does not have healthy bone mass in their jaw line then the dental bridge would be the recommended treatment of care instead of a dental implant. The benefits of a dental bridge are:  The bridge can re-establish ones smile to what it was prior to their tooth loss  Reinstates one's capability to chew and talk properly.  Preserve a person’s face to its original shape  Ensuring the person can bite down properly  Keeps the remaining teeth in the proper alignment so they don’t drift apart 

9. What is Pin hole Surgery? Pin hole surgery is a relatively new, non-invasive procedure used to treat receding gums. As opposed to traditional treatment that requires scraping donor tissue off of your palate, this is relatively pain-free and confined to the gums themselves. During this procedure, a needle is inserted into the existing gum tissue and that tissue is loosed up. Once the tissue is positioned, restorable collagen is placed through the pinholes to hold it there. By covering the exposed root of the teeth, further decay is prevented. This can save a patient’s mouth by eliminating the need to remove teeth.  There are many benefits to pin hole surgery:  Less discomfort for the patient after treatment  Faster recovery for the patient than traditional grafting  No need for uncomfortable sutures  No need for scalpels or invasive surgical tools  No need to take donor tissue from the patient's palate  Excellent, natural-looking, long-lasting results 

10. What is a “Pin Hole Surgical Technique”? It is a surgical procedure that offers the least invasive of surgical procedures and options for treating gingivitis and gum recession. This procedure which is also referred to as “Lunchtime Gum Lift “or “Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation” technique merges together the methods of a conventional periodontal surgery and a channelled bone renewal technique, as an attempt to reverse the receding of the gums due to gingivitis.  The way the Pin Hole Surgical Technique or PST procedure is conducted is by the creation of a tiny pin hole, this pinhole pierces the mucosa apical to the mucogingival junction in the region where the receding is occurring; special tools are then injected into a hole that lifts up the “flap” to the complete width in the apico-coronal direction.  The question remains, how does the elevated periosteum remain in the recent coronal location without any sort of stitching to hold it in place? That would be with pieces of collagen membranes called collagen strips. These collagen strips have been used as a method connecting during these types of periodontal procedures for many years; these strips are essentially sections of a resorbable collagen membrane that has also been termed Bio-Gide (Geistlich Biomaterials). 

11. Invisalign Dental Bracings Invisalign are also known as “clear aligners”; they are clear transparent orthodontic devices that are used to adjust the form of the teeth. They are a clear, transparent, and plastic form of traditional dental braces.  Invisalign clear aligners are not recommended for use on children; clear aligners are best used for mild to moderate crowding issues—(1-6 mm) and mild to moderate spacing (1-6 mm). Clear aligners are not recommended for any issues with jaw bone inconsistencies or any prior problems with conventional braces.  The treatment with a clear aligner or invisalign dentist should involve the use of a dentist with a home-based system; in that way the person can take the molds of the person’s teeth with a digital tooth scanner. The computerized designers are worn for twenty hours a day, for two weeks. This will slowly adjust the patient’s teeth over a period of about thirteen months.  Invisalign braces have transformed the orthondictics world, patients no longer have the only option of wearing the ugly metal braces to improve their smiles; they now have the option of wearing a clear plastic aligner that will shift their teeth in half the time. 

12. What You Need to Know About Invisalign Pros  They are invisible- This is the most popular feature. There is no metal appearance due to the aligners or trays. These are clear and also a fit snuggly making it not noticeable. For people who regard braces as something for kids and do not want to deal with the appearance at their age, career, or social status.  It is a DIY treatment- The nature of the treatment lends to people making the decision to undergo treatment on their own. As long as they follow the instructions, patients may go through the entire treatment themselves. For patients who are busy and unavailable for regular appointments, this is a game changer.  It is more comfortable- You get to straighten your teeth unobtrusively. No painful brackets, wires or rubbers. You can take them out to eat or brush. There is a little discomfort with the pressure of the trays, but you will not have to invest in wax strips to prevent the development of sores. You may also continue with all physical activities -even contact sports- which is a something you cannot do with braces 

13. What You Need to Know About Invisalign Cons  It is costly- This is a sophisticated and convenient technology so naturally, it will cost more. You cannot put a price tag on not having to deal with braces though. Well, they can.  It cannot fix as much as braces- Invisalign get it done most of the time. Cases that require manual or surgical manipulation may not be good candidates. The process can be done alone, but a dental professional should be consulted at some point.  It is technique-sensitive- The trays that do the aligning come with a treatment plan and instructions that both patients and dentists have to follow to the letter. Misuse of one aligner may nullify the rest of the aligners. For example, a patient fails to wear a tray and his teeth alter from normal shifting that teeth do. This could mean the rest of the trays will no longer fit. 
