Hello I hope you are doing better. Some patients report feeling soreness in the throat area after dental appointments.

How many implants does it take to replace all your teeth?
Hello I hope you are feeling well. There are many factors that are taken into account when developing a treatment plan for a well designed prosthesis for an edentulous patient. Some of these factors include quantity and quality of bone present in the edentulous arch (remaining gums), how long the patient has been edentulous (without teeth) the anatomical landmarks present near the sites where implant need to be place such as the maxillary sinus cavity and the nerves that innervate (give feeling to) the mandible and what type of prosthetic device will be used. For instance, will it be removable or fixed and how long the implants will be depending amount of bone and anatomical landmarks present. Generally speaking the upper prosthetic device if it is going to be fixed meaning not removable by the patient only the dentist needs 6 implants but in some cases can be accomplished with four implants. The lower arch can usually be restored with 4 implants depending on bone quality and quantity. Bone can be grafted in certain cases in order to increase bone height and successful case outcome. There are other factors that can also affect the complexity of each individual case which can only be properly decided after clinical exam diagnosis, xrays, ct scans and proper treatment planning.

How bad is teeth grinding?
That is a great question, here’s why. Most people dont know that Bruxism (grinding your teeth) can become a very serious condition. The extent of the force and the length of time at which a patient will grind his/her teeth will be what dictates how serious the condition will become. In severe cases patients wear the teeth all the way into the nerve canal, which can only be treated by endodontic therapy (root canal) and crowns. If you grind enough teeth down to that extent you could end up loosing so much overall tooth structure on many or all the teeth that your entire mouth could become overclosed (loss of vertical dimension). This condition could lead to problems with fungal infections at the corners of the mouth (angular cheilosis) due to saliva seeping into those areas which cause redness, swelling,cracking, scaling and pain. Loss of the normal facial dimensions can also lead to other conditions, like difficulty swallowing, premature older appearance and TMD (temporomandibular dysfunction and chronic headaches. Once you have lost the space between your jaws the only way to restore teeth to there natural size and shape is with crowns., which many times requires all of the teeth to be crowned in order to open the bite evenly. In other words, not just one tooth can be fixed, requiring the patient to have to have full mouth rehabilitation which can be time consuming and very costly. There are a few causes for bruxism, one of them being stress and psychological problems and sleep disorders. Managing stress and sleep disorders as well as talking to your dentist about getting a custom fitted night guard are all important to consider in order to treat Bruxism. READ MORE
