How Can Smoking Lead To Dental Implant Failure?

Posted on 7/28/2022 5:30 AM By Dr. James Pace
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth in Nashville, TN. The implant itself is a small metal post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Once in place, the implant acts as a new root for a dental prosthetic, such as a crown or dental bridge. While dental implants are very successful, they can occasionally be associated with a condition called peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis occurs when the tissue around the single or full mouth dental implant becomes inflamed and infected. If left untreated, peri-implantitis can lead to bone loss and eventually cause the dental implant to fail. However, this is typically only seen in cases where there is poor oral hygiene or an underlying medical condition that compromises the immune system. With proper care, dental implants can provide a long-term solution for missing teeth.   What Is Peri-Implantitis? Peri-implantitis is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding an implant. It can lead to bone loss and the swell ...

The Four Types Of Dental Implant Restorations

Posted on 7/15/2022 8:30 AM By Dr. James Pace
A dentist in Nashville, TN may recommend dental implants if a patient is experiencing missing, crooked, or damaged teeth. There are four types of dental implant restorations that can be used to replace missing teeth. These four types of restorations are called single tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, full mouth acryllic (pmma), and full arch zirconia. Each type of dental implant restoration has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it is important for patients to choose the right one for their specific needs.   Dental Implant Restoration Types A single tooth implant is the simplest type of dental restoration and is most often used when a tooth has been lost due to injury or decay. The single tooth implant is placed directly into the jawbone at one end. Implant supported bridges are placed on the opposing side of a missing tooth. Unlike single tooth implants, implant supported bridges can also be used to replace teeth that have been lost due to injury or decay. The most common ...

Dealing with a less than stellar smile can certainly be a drag and impact a person’s daily quality of life. Fortunately, a dentist in Nashville, TN may recommend dental implant surgery to remedy this issue and restore your smile.   About Dental Implants Dental implant surgery in Nashville, TN is often necessary when a traditional denture no longer provides the patient with the necessary support and function.
