Bring Back Your Radiant Smile With A Dental Implant

By Arthur Kezian

Anyone who has lost a tooth can relate to the fact that a missing tooth can seriously affect your level of confidence, be it at work or at home. You will not be as comfortable smiling when you have a tooth missing especially if it is one of your front teeth. You have this constant worry about people noticing your missing tooth and laughing about it behind your back.

Once you get home, you sit down with your family for a meal only to realize that you will not be able to enjoy that big, juicy steak because you cannot chew properly with your missing tooth. This takes the joy out of eating and that can be really depressing. You will not be able to eat all your favorite foods just because you have a missing tooth. This is such a depressing thought but there is an easy solution to this kind of problem and that is a dental implant.

A cosmetic implant is a synthetic tooth root which is attached to the jaw so that a bridge or replacement tooth can be attached. This is the most practical solution when a person has lost a tooth because of injury, tooth decay or some other periodontal disease.

There are two types of dental implants that can be used and these are the endosteal and the subperiosteal implants. The endosteal implant is the type that is commonly used to replace missing teeth. It involves the surgical attachment of cylinders, blades or screws into the jawbone. The subperiosteal implant is attached on top of the jawbone with part of the metal posts showing through the gums. This type of implant is usually used on patients who have inadequate jawbone height.

The advantage of a dental implant is that it looks very natural as if it is your own tooth. It will not look out of place amongst your pearly whites like a denture would. No one ever has to know that you have a tooth missing. Another advantage of a dental implant is that it lasts for a long time, with proper care. With your teeth complete, you can now smile with confidence and enjoy life to the fullest.

When Do You Call an Emergency Dentist ?

By Arthur Kezian

Imagine yourself out and about when suddenly you have a dental emergency. Dental emergency by definition means an emergency involving the teeth that needs the immediate attention of a dental professional.

Before dialing the number of an emergency dentist, you have to assess if your dental problem is indeed an emergency. You do not want to visit a emergency dentist in the middle of the night when in reality, your dental problem can wait until morning. If you are having a severe toothache and it has become unbearable, that counts as a dental emergency. With a toothache that severe, there is no way you can get any sleep. The most common reason for a toothache is tooth decay and the pain will only go away if the decayed tooth is treated or filled. The best solution to your problem would be to contact a reliable emergency dentist immediately. There is no need for you to endure the pain for the entire night because an emergency dentist can help you no matter what time it is.

Another problem that could count as a dental emergency is when your tooth gets knocked out accidentally. This counts as a dental emergency especially if there is bleeding involved. You need to see an emergency dentist immediately because it increases the chances of your tooth being saved.

One can never tell when a dental emergency will occur so it helps to have a reliable dentist on your contact list. This is important so that you know the person to contact in case you have a dental problem in the wee hours of the morning and you simply cannot wait for regular clinic hours. When you are in severe pain and discomfort, you do not have to wait for morning to see your dentist. You can immediately contact an emergency dentist and get relief from the pain.
