If you have missing teeth, it may make it difficult for you to eat normally and speak normally. It might also alter the structure of your face. These are sufficient justifications for getting dental implants, but there are other things to think about. Each natural tooth fuses with the jaw bone directly. Bone is stimulated when you bite down, which increases strength and good health. Without the stimulation that bone requires, the bone may begin to deteriorate. Resorption is when the bone begins to degrade. Your face may develop hollows, and surrounding tooth roots may become weaker, which can lead to more tooth loss. are all dental implants the same? Dental implants come in a variety of forms, including: Individual dental implants A single lost tooth can be replaced by a single dental implant. implant-supported bridges Bridges supported by implants can be used to replace two or more lost teeth. The toothless areas are filled with implants, and for further stability, crowns are attached to the original teeth on either side. full span implants (All-on-four) Full span implants are an alternative to substantial bridging or dentures if you have a row of four to six missing teeth. Overdentures supported by dental implants are a set of fake teeth held in place by a line of implants. Overdentures are still removable for cleaning or maintenance but are more secure than conventional false teeth. If there is not enough bone in your jaw, you might also require a bone graft in addition to the implant treatment. Your dentist at Scottsdale Dental Bottega can determine whether you need a bone graft and describe how it works. Call Scottsdale Dental Bottega to arrange your appointment if you want to find out if dental implants are a viable solution for your missing teeth.

• All on Four Dentures

  All-On-Four Dental Implants have become very popular lately with the advances in the dental industry.

Call Scottsdale Dental Bottega today to schedule your All-On-Four consultation. All-On-Four Dentures Q & A What is all-on-four dental implants? All-On-Four dental implants refers to a specific implant denture technique where your dentist strategically places four (or more) dental implants in the gums of your top and bottom arch to anchor and support a full set of dentures. The implants are placed in areas of the gums with the highest bone density to overcome any deficiencies or anatomical structures. The process replaces the complete upper and/or lower set of teeth with a bridge or denture that is permanently screw-retained and can be worn the same day. Am I a candidate for all-on-four dental implants? The ideal candidates for this operation are those who have considerable tooth decay or loss, as well as those whose jawbone loss makes it impossible for them to get traditional dental implants. Following tooth loss, the jaw bone is frequently also lost, necessitating bone grafting to rebuild the jaw bone. All-On-Four takes advantage of the dense bone that is left in the front of the jaw and angles the posterior implants to avoid having to deal with jaw reconstruction and bone grafting. What are the benefits of all-on-four dental implants? All-On-Four Dental Implants provide a plethora of benefits over traditional dentures: No slippage or shifting Improved gum comfort Natural-looking results Easy maintenance No messy pastes or adhesives All-On-Four dental implants allows patients to chew and speak with confidence, knowing that their dentures are securely held in place, while providing a natural look and maintaining the shape of the patient’s jaw and face structure. What to expect during the all-on-four process? While Anna Vaysman, DMD, and her team of specialists at Scottsdale Dental Bottega create a custom, individualized plan for each and every All-On-Four patient to fit his/her oral needs, schedule, and lifestyle, the majority of patients will have a similar process. The two main stages are: A surgical procedure to place the necessary implants Delivery and placement of custom-made implant dentures Upon completion of the implant surgery, patients are given temporary restorations to wear during the fusion process of the implants to the jawbone. This means that patients will have a set of functioning, stable dentures to wear the same day as their procedure! Once the fusion process has progressed and the implants have healed, patients return for their custom-fitted dentures to get the best possible look and feel for their new smile. If you are suffering from loose dentures, broken or missing teeth, tooth loss or decay, call Scottsdale Dental Bottega today to get your no-obligation consultation and find out from an experienced dental professional if All-On-Four Dental Implants is the right course of treatment for you.

General anesthesia is a combination of medications that put you in a sleep-like state before a procedure.

Once you’re asleep, the CRNA will: Monitor you continuously throughout the procedure Adjust medications, breathing, temperature, fluids, and blood pressure as needed Correct any issues that arise with additional medication or fluids After the procedure When the procedure is over, the CRNA reverses the medications to wake you up. You will slowly wake and probably feel groggy and a little confused at first. You may experience common side effects such as: Nausea Dry mouth Sleepiness Vomiting Muscle aches Shivering Itching You may also experience some pain once you wake from anesthesia as the brain once again becomes aware and starts responding to stimuli. The CRNA at Scottsdale Dental Bottega will ask you about your pain levels and other side effects. Anna Vaysman, DMD, may prescribe medication after your procedure to reduce your pain and nausea. If you require dental work and have been avoiding the dentist because of fear or anxiety, call us today to make your appointment with general anesthesia to be completely out for the entire time.

• Laser Dentistry

  From advanced treatments to diagnostics, laser technology offers many advantages to dental patients. At her Scottsdale, Arizona, dental practice, Anna Vaysman, DMD, excels at using laser dentistry techniques for practically painless periodontal, surgical, and restorative treatments. Call our office to learn more about the advantages of laser dentistry. FAQs of laser dentistry How does laser dentistry work? Precision technology that makes use of intensely focused light energy is laser dentistry. Dr. Anna Vaysman offers patients an efficient way to receive dental care by performing a variety of operations using laser dentistry technology. Dental lasers come in two different varieties. While soft lasers are appropriate for the more delicate tissues, hard lasers are used to cut into teeth and bones. As they work, lasers shut your blood vessels and nerves, which results in very little discomfort. Dental laser applications are still growing and improving. Anna Vaysman, DMD, possesses the knowledge and expertise necessary to employ laser methods safely and effectively. What benefits do laser dental procedures offer? Compared to other techniques, laser dentistry provides a number of benefits. Soft tissue laser treatment frequently doesn’t require stitches afterward, and for some treatments, anesthesia may not even be required. Lasers promote blood clotting, resulting in significantly reduced bleeding, and they have a sterilizing effect that lowers the risk of infection. Laser dentistry reduces harm to the tissues around the wound, and the wounds it creates heal more quickly because laser radiation encourages tissue regeneration. How are lasers used in dentistry? Many procedures can be accomplished with laser dentistry, including: Reshaping gum tissue Excisional and incisional biopsies Exposure of unerupted teeth Gingivectomy Hemostasis and coagulation Periodontal pocket removal of diseased, infected, inflamed and necrosed soft tissue Reduction of gingival hypertrophy Lengthening of Soft tissue Crown Releasing a tight frenulum Eradicating soft tissue folds created by incorrectly fitted dentures Leukoplakia The use of laser technology is changing dentistry in a number of important ways. OCT, for instance, provides a safe method of inspecting the interior of your teeth and gums. Laser dentistry offers a more comfortable alternative for treating aphthous ulcers (canker sores) and cold sores (herpes virus), as well as the painless removal of benign tumors from your gums, palate, lips, and cheeks. With the use of photobiomodulation or low-level laser therapy, damaged blood vessels and nerves can heal more quickly, and laser-assisted uvuloplasty (LAUP) is a cutting-edge method for treating sleep apnea. Call Scottsdale Dental Bottega to arrange a consultation if you’d like to find out more about laser dentistry and its advantages.

There are numerous materials available for crowns, including: Gold Porcelain or ceramic A combination of ceramic and metal Scottsdale Dental Bottega provides a number of choices in addition to conventional fixed bridges. If there are no teeth on one side of the gap, they may use a cantilever bridge; otherwise, they may use a Maryland bonded bridge (also called a resin-bonded bridge) to replace your missing front teeth.

Help you to speak clearly Reduce the pressure on your other teeth. Stop the movement of your other teeth. What happens during the placement of dental bridges? In order to fit dental bridges, Dr. Anna Vaysman first prepares the teeth next to them, called abutment teeth, for crowns. Your dentist must remove the sections of enamel and dentin (the top two layers of your teeth) in order to reshape them so that the crowns fit properly. The abutment teeth are then scanned by your dentist and sent to a dental laboratory where your bridge is made. Dr. Vaysman places a temporary bridge to cover your abutment teeth while you wait. When the lab has completed work on your bridge, you return to Scottsdale Dental Bottega. The temporary bridge is taken out and replaced with the permanent one by your dentist, who may also make any necessary fit adjustments. Dr. Vaysman fixes the bridge with dental cement once it is the ideal fit. How durable are dental bridges? Long-lasting dental bridges are common. Your dental bridge’s lifespan may be increased with good oral hygiene habits and routine professional dental cleaning at Scottsdale Dental Bottega.
