The words scalpel and drill do not exactly fill you with the comfort of thought that you are going to get a painless and beautiful treatment from your dentist, and that is a fair point- because generally you won’t, because the very nature of how a scalpel and drill works involves trauma and careful recovery.

But in many surgeries these days around Worcester Park, there is a new player in town that has revolutionized the way dental treatments are performed, the laser. This carries out work without doing hardly any damage to the teeth or gum tissue meaning that the procedure is virtually painless.

One such treatment is Water-lase, and incorporates a fine jet of water around the laser as it burns. It is so precise that treatments are carried out with the minimum of pain but with maximum efficiency and because little damage is done due to the lack of vibration, recovery afterwards is rapid.

Laser treatment has replaced the drill and you will find it being in all walks of life by your dentist; it can be used for teeth whitening, fillings, root canal treatment and gum contouring.

But possibly its flagship use has come in the placing of dental implants. This was once a complex operation, but now, thanks to the laser, it has become so easy and comfortable to do, getting an implant fitted these day is as simple as having a filling. Pain free dentistry though, come on, who ever thought that day would arrive?!

The freedom of the Mini-Implant in Surrey

admin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:41:11 +0000

It would have been unheard of 10 years ago that you could fit 20 dental implants in a day? Let alone it be available in Surrey?? But it’s true, those Americans, who else, have found the answer. Normally, a mini-implant is more associated with the wearing of dentures. But now it can be used along with bridges and crowns. Prior to having them fitted, you’ll have a consultation and some x-rays taken to assess any tooth decay or gum disease and the best place for location of the implants. If you get the green light, you will then have them placed through precision laser micro surgery. This damages very little of the jaw and gums and heals within two months properly. But don’t worry because you don’t leave the surgery with just a mouthful of tiny spikes, you will be fitted with temporary fittings until the healing is complete, and then an impression is taken of your mouth from which the new fittings are made. Prices for these treatments can vary wildly so you will have to see your dentist about prices and payment plans. But for the freedom you achieve from this treatment has got to be worth investing in.

What are dental implants? Sunbury dentists can answer all of your queries

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 06:28:39 +0000

Dental implants are becoming ever more well known in the United Kingdom and are gaining a great reputation for how they can be used to replace lost teeth. Taking as their ethos the idea that tooth replacement need not be a solution that is removable, dental implants are essentially a permanent way to replace lost teeth.

They require surgery in order to be put in, because the dentist in charge will need to place the implant beneath the gum. In order to do so they will make a small incision in the gum and then place the implant against the jaw bone. The placement is carried out with great precision so that the implant can fuse with the bone. This process of osseointegration is the really clever thing about dental implants because it means that the implant that houses the replacement tooth is incredibly secure.

Your Sunbury dentist will then put a temporary replacement tooth into the implant and stitch up the area. A follow up appointment will be necessary where your dentist will check how the area is healing and place a permanent replacement tooth into the implant.

Dental implants won’t be suitable for everyone because of the nature of the procedure that is inherent in the process. Age is not necessarily a factor; dentists are far more concerned with the general health of the patient and how well they will be able to heal after the operation. If you are deemed to be a suitable candidate for dental implants and decide to go ahead with the work then you can look forward to a life time of having a full set of teeth once more.

Surrey dentists are experts at performing dental implants surgery

Thanks to advances in dental science, dentists are now able to replace lost teeth in a way that is so secure and permanent that patients soon forget that they ever lost a tooth in the first place. Using a clever technique that allows a replica of the root to naturally bond with the jaw bone, dental implants provide patients with an incredibly secure solution to their problems with missing teeth.

Filling up the space where a tooth used to be is very important. Even one missing tooth can have effects on the mouth as other teeth have a tendency to shift into any space that has been vacated by a tooth that has been lost. This might compromise the alignment of teeth and leave the patient’s bite out of line.

Dental scientists found out a number of decades ago that the metal titanium can fuse with living human bone. Ever since then they have been honing the technique of making and fitting dental implants until it has reached the high standards available today. Titanium is also incredibly light in weight and so it does not put excess strain on the mouth.

The implant is placed beneath the gum and against the jaw bone where the titanium and bone can fuse together in a process that scientists call osseointegration. Then a replacement tooth can be fixed into the implant and the patient has a realistic and stable replacement to their lost tooth that can be treated just like natural tooth.

To get all the requisite information about dental implants and what is involved in the surgery, you can speak to your dentist in Surrey. The success rate is very high and a growing number of patients are delighted with their dental implants.
