One Of These Teeth Is A Dental Implant- Can You Guess?

Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth. This is the case if you have one, several or all missing teeth. In the case of one missing tooth, the replacement tooth using a dental implant can look exactly the same as a natural tooth or even better!

For example, just look at this photograph. Can you tell which tooth is the dental implant?

There are a few dental crowns present- only one is a dental implant

Dental implants act as the replacement for the root(s) of the tooth and the replacement tooth is secured to this. As the implant is made from titanium, you will glad to hear it can never decay or need a root canal treatment. However, you must look after it as well as your natural teeth as they can suffer from gum disease. For those interested, the dental implant is the lower first molar tooth. It is an Astra Tech implant placed and restored by Dr Nissit Patel.

Now for complex cases, lingual brace treatment is an extremely diffic… CONTINUE READING

Changing a single front tooth crown

Dental crowns are one of the best ways to protect badly damaged teeth. In most cases, crowns are needed on back teeth that may have needed a root canal treatment. For front teeth, the most common reason for the need of a crown is due to trauma . This could be from a childhood playground accident or a sports injury for example. Ouch! If a front tooth crown was placed many years ago, over time there will have been changes in the mouth including the level of the gums and the shape and colour of the teeth. This… CONTINUE READING
