Waterpiks or similar devices are extremely useful in cleaning out around and under bridgework. One key point though is to never use the device at full strength. Full strength has the potential to inject water into the tissues. I recommend half strength at the most.

Can I have a filling without anesthesia?

The short answer is yes, sometimes. It depends on where it is and how deep it is. Some laser technologies make it easier to do more fillings and deeper fillings without anesthetic READ MORE
The short answer is yes, sometimes. It depends on where it is and how deep it is. Some laser technologies make it easier to do more fillings and deeper fillings without anesthetic than without the laser technologies. I think, though, that you can't say that you will never need anesthetic.

Generally, an all on four (or more) implant configuration refers to a prosthesis that is not removable by the patient, but is (with some work) removable by the doctor. You can have 4 implants supporting a removable (by the patient) denture. But that is never referred to as an "all on four" prosthesis.

To whom it may concern:

Generally, with proper planning teeth can be put in your mouth the day of surgery. They usually are not the permanent final product, but are meant to help you function and transition as you heal. Depending on the nature of the tooth removal surgery, while the soft tissue heals relatively quickly, the underlying bone does not reach a final healed state for about 4 to 6
months. Your dentist and /or surgeon are best positioned to help guide you through your particular needs.

Sincerely,

Dr Barton Foutz
