As with any surgical procedure minor swelling and discomfort is anticipated. During the implant placement patient is locally or generally anesthetized so they don’t feel pain . Minor pressure can still be felt during procedure if only local anesthesia was used. After implant surgery antibiotics are regularly prescribed for swelling and better healing of the site.

First set of dentures might take up to 10 days to adjust with a speech and salivation changes. Prolonged problems with” s “sound might point to a incorrect position of the front teeth in the the base of the denture.In this case contact your provider.

Maximum up to 2to 3 days just after insertion.

The amount of implants needed depends on the bone quality and proximity of the adjacent structures like the sinus, the nasal cavity, and the nerves as well as the type of restoration planned. As a rule, you will need more implants in the upper jaw than in the lower

Usually braces take between 1 to 3 years depending on the type of the malocclusion, patient’s age and cooperation.

Bleeding while using dentures is not common. The best solution is to see your dentist and talk about this problem. Often small denture adjustments done in the office will solve the problem. Usually, the problem lies in dentures not fitting well. It could be that you will need a new better fitting denture.

Yes, but your gum recession will need to be consulted first. A larger area or faster-receding gums might require a gum graft prior to the aesthetic procedure.

No toothpaste contains (depending on the brand) different sizes of abrasive particles. Those particles will micro scratch your aligner making it cloudy, and prone to discoloration and stench. There are other products on the market intended for aligner hygiene.

Yes it is very safe with a doctor with a anesthesia training . Most oral surgeons are trained with general anesthesia.

Your dentist will advise you if your denture needs clasps adjustment, reline with additional plastic material, or replacement of your existing denture.

Wisdom teeth extraction especially in the lower jaw can be challenging. Fever might be a transient reaction of the body to trauma from extraction or /and infection from the extraction site. Antibiotics are prescribed after difficult extraction and your fever should be resolved within a couple of days. If it persists or worsens you should contact your provider immediately.

It should not be hard talking with a partial denture unless it covers a front part of the palate then at the beginning some words might sound a little different. It will take 1-3 weeks to adapt to the new denture.

Dentistry is utilizing antibiotics mostly for premedication, acute generalized infection, and after surgical procedures. Gingivitis is a local infection caused by plaque accumulation treated by regular dental cleaning and followed by good oral hygiene.

Yes. We use highly aesthetic composite fillings that blend in with your tooth structure. For larger fillings, you may consider composite bonding, porcelain veneer, or crown.

Healing of the bone graft has 3 phases. During the first 3-4 days you can expect pain and swelling antibiotics and pain meds are given to the patients to help with initial healing. Phase two will consist of closure of the surgery site and new bone formation. That phase takes approximately 1 month. The final phase is the new bone's final formation and reorganization. This takes 4-6 months after that time a restoration like implants can be initiated.

Gum recession has a tendency to create tooth sensitivity. I recommend Sensodyne due to small abrasive particles and potassium nitrate to relieve sensitivity. Ask your dentist or hygienist for brushing tips with gum recession and always use a soft toothbrush.

Since implant placement is a surgical procedure the pain and discomfort are anticipated. Patient should received post operative instructions along with an antibiotic and pain medication for next 10 days .
If the pain persists beyond 10 days or / and any redness , swelling occurs you will have to talk about it to your surgeon.

Gums will need time to heal. Some gum grafts require stitches. Those are removed after 10 days. Start brushing with an electric toothbrush after at least 10 days until then use a soft bristle hand toothbrush and mouth rinse prescribed by your provider.

Invisalign as a form of braces can cause recession with some type of tooth movements like expansion or rotation. The recession has a wide range of origin and you should check it with your orthodontist.

Yes, you can both porcelain and composite. Chipped, discolored, and misshaped teeth are great candidates for veneers. Teeth that had a root canal treatment require a crown because they are more brittle and usually discolored. For teeth that are misaligned, you might consider orthodontic treatment first to save tooth structure.
