If you have one or multiple missing teeth it can lead to bone loss in the jawbone. Without stimulation from your teeth and their roots, your jawbone will deteriorate. As time progresses and the bone continues to deteriorate, the bone mass becomes insufficient for the placement of dental implants. In some cases, patients receiving dental implants may require bone grafting, before implants can be placed to buildup adequate bone to support the implant(s). We provide bone grafting in Los Angeles to replace or augment the deteriorated bone.
Your dentist stays up to date with the most recent advancements in today’s technology. In specific, digital X-rays are the advantage you have when it comes to visiting our dental clinic in Los Angeles. Rather than making use of a conventional film, we employ a special computer sensor which inputs the X-ray picture directly into the computer, allowing us to decrease the harmful amount of radiation by virtually 90%. Also, because the photos are on the computer, we can enhance the photos to improve the diagnosis of conditions before they advance. This has proven to be significantly more expedient for patients as you view the X-rays on a computer.
The most visible signs of gum disease or periodontal disease is gum recession. When your gums recede, it exposes an increasing amount of your tooth, its crown, and root. If you are suffering from periodontal disease, gum recession can impact one or numerous teeth. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, some of which include tooth sensitivity, gum inflammation, root exposure, and dental caries. It is vital to treat gum recession, as your gums are the primary barrier against bacteria. The bacteria in your mouth can be attributed to:
Additionally, gum recession can pose aesthetic concerns for patients, as they may begin to feel embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth. We provide gum grafting near you to augment the gum line to address health concerns and aesthetic concerns. Your dentist in Los Angeles, CA, 90025 will determine which gum tissue graft is best-suited for you.
We use intraoral cameras near you, so our highly skilled dental team can view clear, detailed images of your teeth and gums. These images make it possible to accurately diagnose a patient and establish an individualized treatment plan that addresses the needs of patients. A speedy and accurate diagnosis results in less office time and allows you to be actively involved in the process.
Flap surgery is conducted when all alternative treatments have been unsuccessful and the periodontal pockets have worsened. Flap surgery purifies the environment around the tooth, thereby improving your oral health.
Your dentist may recommend the Pinhole Surgical Technique PST™️ if you are suffering from gum recession or showing the signs of gum recession. This incision-free procedure entails creating a tiny hole and using special instruments to loosen the gum tissue and place it over the areas affected by gum recession. When the Pinhole Surgical Technique PST™️ in Los Angeles, CA 90025 is conducted, patients are surprised by its simplicity.
When plaque and tartar are left unaddressed, it promotes an environment for bacteria to thrive. Bacteria causes gum irritation and sensitivity which can make it easier for your gums to bleed. If you experience slight bleeding when you brush or eat, you may have gingivitis–the first stage of gum disease. We provide root planning and dental scaling near you to reduce bacteria in your mouth and improve your oral health.
Tooth loss can occur for a variety of reasons including injury, trauma, decay, and periodontitis. Treatments for single tooth replacements include:
Each option has its benefits, but dental implants are deemed to be an ideal treatment.
Every year, millions of people in the USA suffer from gum disease, but the majority do not seek treatment. Gum disease has been associated with a range of oral health complications, some of which include the following:
During phase one of the surgery, your dentist in Los Angeles surgically inserts the implant into your jawbone. After the implant is placed, it will begin to fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. The bond created between your jaw and implant is much the same as the bond between your jaw and your natural tooth.
Gum disease can lead to the loosening of your gum line due to bacteria. As a result, loose and deep pockets can form in your gums around your teeth. When your dentist performs a gingivectomy, they will remove the gum tissue that has become loose and diseased. The process reduces the depth of the pocket between your teeth and gums, helping to restore the health of your gums. In most cases, a gingivectomy is performed only when a patient suffers from severe periodontitis and other treatment methods have failed to be successful.
Implant-supported dentures are fastened in your mouth and attached to dental implants. Usually, they are fabricated for the bottom jaw but you can receive this type of overdenture for your top jaw as well. A regular denture, on the other hand, rests on your gums and is not supported by implants.
We offer implant-supported dentures near you, which snap over the top of dental implants providing security and stability, preventing the appliance from becoming loose or slipping. This means denture adhesives or pastes will not be needed. Patients with implant-supported dentures will remove them for everyday cleaning. Patients may also choose fixed implant-supported dentures–serving the role of permanent teeth.
Have you been diagnosed with periodontal disease and are in need of surgery? It is crucial to learn about both traditional gum surgery and laser surgery. Understanding what these surgeries entail and how they vary can help you come to an informed decision when seeking treatment.
If your smile looks “gummy” it is likely that you could significantly benefit from esthetic crown lengthening (a gum lift). This is a straightforward procedure that lasts one hour. Your dentist will begin by removing the excess gum and bone tissue and then reshape your smile, which will expose your teeth more. Although this procedure can be performed on only a single tooth, in most cases it will treat the entire smile. The results of esthetic crown lengthening include:
As time progresses, your jawbone can begin to resorb or recede following a dental extraction. Both the height and width of the socket where the tooth once resided, will grow smaller and an indentation may form in your gums or jawbone. Ridge augmentation can remake the natural contour of your gums or jawbone. Although ridge augmentation is not performed for medical reasons, it may be required for aesthetic purposes or if you are interested in receiving dental implants.
Sedation dentistry near you is designed to provide our patients who fear visiting their dental clinic in Los Angeles, CA or receiving treatment with a relaxing and calming experience. We provide sedation dentistry in Los Angeles in the forms of intravenous (IV) sedation, oral sedation, and nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas. The levels of sedation vary and are dependent on your level of anxiety:
Minimal sedation: This relieves anxiety before and during a dental exam. You will remain conscious and responsive but may remember bits and pieces of your visit.
Moderation sedation: This is more intense than mild sedation. You may slur your words while you speak and your memory of the procedure will be very foggy.
Deep sedation: This is the strongest level of sedation, reserved for patients with a high level of anxiety. You will be on the edge of consciousness but you can be awakened. You will not show signs of comprehension or recognition of the procedure.
The Quality and quantity of your bone, directly affect how successful the placement of dental implants is. If bone loss in your jaw has occurred due to tooth loss, gum disease or other factors, it can result in insufficient bone to place implants. Sinus lift surgery in Los Angeles, CA can help you correct this issue by raising the sinus floor and creating bone so that dental implants can be placed.
We offer tooth extractions near you for a wide variety of reasons; these include:
Tooth removal can take place in most dental practices, however, the complexity of the procedure will depend on the patient. Anesthesia will be administered to numb the mouth and prevent pain and discomfort during the procedure.
Dental implants are a versatile treatment option to replace one or several missing teeth. They are the best long-term solution to tooth loss and offer numerous benefits that other replacement options, such as dentures cannot.
When gum disease is not properly addressed, it can lead to bone loss in your jawbone and around your teeth. Bone loss can heighten your risk of tooth loss drastically because, without the support of your surrounding bone, your teeth can loosen and become prone to tooth decay. When you lose a tooth, bone loss will occur in your jawbone as your body resorbs the bone. This can make your experience wearing dentures challenging and uncomfortable. Thankfully, guided tissue regeneration (GTR) may stop bone loss and help regrow bone that was previously lost.
Generally, GTR involves using membrane barriers to direct the growth of new bone and gingival tissue. With that said, in some cases, bone taken from other parts of your body may be required. The bone harvested may be your own or can be found in tissue banks or using synthetic materials. The objective of GTR is to provide stimulation to your body to grow new bone or reserve room for the bone to regenerate into.
If you have missing teeth, schedule a dental implant consultation with Dr. Andrew Satlin as soon as possible. He can provide information about your dental implant cost and treatment plan during your first visit.
Occlusal or bite adjustment, is a procedure performed by your dentist to eliminate small interferences that prevent your teeth from coming together properly or your jaw from sliding in its correct position. Interferences may develop:
Piezosurgery is a newly developed system that can cut bone while preserving soft-tissue structures using ultrasonic micro-vibrations. Traditional methods used to cut bone can cause tissue and bone loss even when your dentist is cautious and precise. This innovative technology puts an end to this risk for exceptional precision and comfort.
When you lose a tooth or have it extracted, your jawbone will begin to slowly recede. Your tooth holds the socket in place and without it, your bone will begin to resorb into your body and the socket will collapse. Additionally, since your jawbone no longer receives stimulation from the missing tooth, it will resorb and shrink. When bone loss is extensive, the placement of a dental implant may no longer be a viable solution. Not only that, but treatment will also become more expensive, invasive and time-consuming. Ridge preservation is a form of bone grafting conducted immediately after the removal of a tooth, to stabilize the bone in the empty socket.
According to modern dentistry, dental implants are the standard of care for replacing several missing teeth, especially when they are in succession. Dental implants are a vital aspect in the prevention of bone loss and preservation of the facial structure.
Immediate Load Dental Implants, or more commonly referred to as Teeth-in-a-Day are one of the newest advances in implant technology today. With Immediate Load Implants, you can achieve a full set of teeth right after implant surgery.
