Single Visit Crowns for Teeth

“Time marches on!” By applying the latest in machine technology, the methods for dental restorations have developed to the point where you can now get a same day dental crown! Previously, when you needed a new tooth, it might take a couple weeks or more to receive a carefully crafted ceramic crown. Now we can make them in our office using the latest in oral scanners, x-ray machines, and 3D…

Dental implants are considered as the superior solution or treatment for tooth replacement. These are stable artificial fixtures or roots made of Titanium metal fused into the jawbone to replace the root of the infected or lost natural tooth. It acts as a support system to hold the artificial replacement tooth.

Dental implants are done when you lose your teeth due to cavities, gum diseases, accidents, fractured roots, etc. The aim of doing dental implants is to restore your dental functions and oral health and to improve your appearance.

There are three types of dental implants.

1) Endosteal Implants:

These dental implants are shaped in the form of little screws that are placed in the jawbone. These are the safest and most commonly used implant. These are suitable for all patients having a good and healthy jawbone. It takes time to heal, fit into and to make a stronghold and thereafter the artificial teeth are fitted into the jaw using this.

2) Subperiosteal Implants:

These dental implants are an alternative to the endosteal implants and are fused on the top of the jawbone but are still under the gum. The metal frame with an attached post is placed under the gum to create a stronghold in the place thereafter its healing to fit the artificial teeth to it. This implant is suitable for patients who don't have a better enough and healthy jawbone and who don't want to do an in-depth oral surgery to add bone to the place.

3) Zygomatic Implants:

These implants are the rarely used and the most complex type. It is placed on the cheekbone instead of the jawbone. It is done only if you don’t have enough jawbone for doing the Endosteal implant.
