Crowns
and Bridges A full crown is usually indicated
when a tooth has had root canal treatment, when a
substantial amount of tooth structure has been lost or
when a tooth is cracked or broken. We place a crown on a
tooth where there is no longer sufficient tooth
structure left to place a filling. A Bridge spans a
space where one or more teeth have been lost in the
dental arch. We replace the missing teeth with
custom-designed replacement teeth, which are anchored by
crowns to existing healthy tooth structure.

teeth:
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Many dentists and patients today favor restorations done
using tooth-colored composites or porcelain. The use of
a tooth-colored filling material is not limited to new
restorations, however, there are numerous reasons why
older restorations may need replacing, and we can use
these newer, more esthetic materials at that time.
Tooth-Colored Fillings to fill
cavities or replace silver fillings:
Dental Veneers
Have you ever wished you had better looking teeth
without all the hassle of braces or crowns?
Veneer (Laminate Veneer)
Dental
Veneers are an excellent cosmetic remedy for a
variety of dental conditions that affect the
appearance of the front teeth. Durable and
color-stable, veneers are, in many cases, the
perfect way to restore the natural function and
beauty of your teeth, so you can smile with
confidence.
Porcelain veneers are the answer for instant
orthodontics to straighten smiles, close spaces,
reshape, and accomplish minor realignment of your
teeth. You can even have that "Hollywood" smile you've
always wanted.
The skilled dentists and oral specialists at
Perfect Smile can provide you with cost effect
veneers – you will be surprised with the savings
compared with US based dentists.
Veneers, usually fabricated from porcelain, are a thin,
semi-translucent “shell,” custom made to fit precisely
over an existing tooth. They are permanently bonded,
held in place by a special resin that adhere the back of
the veneer to the front of the tooth. The finished
result is extremely strong and durable. Though veneers
are not suitable for every patient, they are a cosmetic
alternative for a variety of dental conditions affecting
the front teeth, including:
-
Closing diastemas (spaces between the teeth)
-
Restoring broken or chipped teeth
-
Covering unsightly, stained or washed-out fillings
-
Whitening permanently stained or discolored teeth
-
Correcting uneven or crooked teeth
When your smile is disfigured by decay, abrasion,
chipping, breakage or imperfect development, Perfect
Smile’s goal is to restore its natural beauty so you can
smile with confidence. At one time, resin fillings or
crowns were the only available treatment for the above
types of conditions. Today, a third alternative is
available-one with proven results!
There are many benefits and advantages to having
porcelain veneers applied to your front teeth. These may
included any or all of the following considerations:
-
Only a small amount of natural tooth structure (if
any) is removed during the procedure
-
A healthy, natural look is achieved with little or no
discomfort
-
Veneers are often less expensive than alternative
procedures
-
Veneers are strong, durable and color-stable
A composite resin filling is used when only a small
amount of tooth structure needs replacing or repair. A
full crown is indicated when a tooth has had root canal
treatment of when a substantial amount of the entire
tooth structure (enamel) has been lost. A porcelain
veneer is indicated when a portion of the front surface
of a tooth needs a “face left.”
Similar to a resin bonding procedure, veneers are
attached directly to the existing tooth structure.
Perfect Smile will take an impression of your tooth to
make an exact replica. During your appointment, Perfect
Smile treats your tooth with a mild conditioning
solution. Before the veneer is placed, they apply a
tooth-colored liquid bonding material, which helps the
veneer adhere to your natural teeth.
Veneers can last for years, depending on how well you
take care of them. Because veneers are stronger than
simple bonding, they are also more resistant to stains
and chipping. However, it is important to maintain
regular oral hygiene, to avoid bad habits such as biting
nails or chewing ice and to visit us regularly for
routine cleaning and exams. These precautions will help
ensure that your veneers will last a long time and keep
looking as good as new.
The decision to enhance your smile with porcelain
veneers is a personal one. Even a subtle change in your
smile can make an exceptional difference in the way you
look and feel, and on your social outlook. There’s no
question that a beautiful smile goes a long way toward
improving your self-confidence in both personal and
professional circles.

Dental
Implants
An
increasingly popular alternative to dentures and
bridges, dental implants are a permanent,
natural-looking, and comfortable solution to gaps left
by missing teeth.
Thailand Dental Implant Center,
operated by
Perfect Smile Dental Team, is very well
known center in Thailand
and offers expert implant dentistry. They provide
fully-equipped operating room with sedation equipment.
Today’s implants are manufactured according to
international quality standards. While high-tech in
natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever
lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your
teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both
personally and professionally. You may hide your smile
due to missing teeth, however, there is good news as
dental implants support replacement teeth in virtually
the same way that your natural tooth root supports your
natural teeth.
What are dental implants?
A natural
tooth consists of a crown (the part you see above the
gum), and the root (the part hidden under the gum,
within the jawbone). It is the root that actually holds
the natural tooth in place.
When a
person is missing a tooth, the dentist must decide how
to re-create the crown portion, and he must choose the
best method to hold it in place. Dental implants were
created for this purpose.
In the
past, dentists would try to keep or replace teeth with
treatments such as root canals, bridges, and fixed or
removable dentures. Unfortunately, a significant number
of root canal treated teeth fail, bridges require that
healthy adjacent teeth be cut down and removable
dentures can often be unstable and require the use of
sticky adhesives. Dental implants are a solution to
these problems, and many of the concerns associated with
natural teeth are eliminated, including dental decay.
Dental implants benefit people who are missing teeth.
They are metallic root of teeth that are placed into the
jawbone where original teeth once existed. They are
natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that also
provide the same function as your natural tooth root.
They have also been used to anchor these other types of
restorations for greater success and patient
satisfaction.
These
root-like cylinders are used to secure a replacement
tooth in place in a spot where a tooth is missing.
Dental implants can also be used to secure loose teeth
in place by being installed alongside the loose teeth
and anchoring to them with splinted crowns. This will
allow the loose teeth to function better and last longer
in the mouth.
Dental
implants are made of various biomaterials. Most
commonly, surgical metal called titanium is used,
because it is the most compatible with human biology.
They are surgically placed in the jawbone, right in the
dentist’s office, using a local anesthetic. Approved and
tested implant systems are very successful. In fact,
some have lasted more than 20 years with a better than
98% success rate
Why do I
need dental implants?
When natural teeth are removed, you will face many
problems such as the remaining teeth shift, rotate and
become crooked. Spaces and gaps between teeth may cause
embarrassment, problems with speech, lack of self-esteem
and make the difficult to chew food properly. Dental
implants can restore missing teeth, thereby eliminating
these potential problems. People who have teeth replaced
with dental implants report better ability to chew food
and eat properly, renewed confidence while speaking, and
better self-esteem.
Moreover, Missing teeth are also recognized associated
with old age and can make you look older than you are.
Replacing missing teeth can dramatically improve your
smile and the shape of your face. This greatly enhances
both your dental health and self-esteem.
Benefits of Replacing a Tooth Immediately
A tooth should be replaced as soon as it is lost. This
will retain your oral health by preventing bone loss,
reducing movement of surrounding teeth and avoiding
excess decay.
Teeth provide more functions than just the ability to
chew. They are necessary for the health of the gum and
jaw tissues as well, and a prolonged absence of a tooth
will severely limit the possibilities for restorations.
Missing teeth may also affect your confidence and
well-being.
Do you think you need implants?
If you have been thinking about getting dental implants,
you can take this simple test. You might be a possible
candidate for this procedure.
Ask yourself the following questions:
-
Am I missing one or more teeth?
-
Do I feel like I have lost the smile I had when I have
my natural teeth?
-
Am I having trouble eating, chewing, or speaking
properly?
-
Have I ever been public speaking and had issues where
my bridge or denture was shifting and making it
uncomfortable to speak?
-
Do I wish I could eat more steak and comfortably bite
into an apple without fear of my denture becoming
loose?
-
Have I been experiencing bone loss or gum recession
since wearing dentures or having a dental bridge?
-
Have I dentures ever cracked or made it uncomfortable
to fit.
-
Are my teeth loose, or am I getting or in need of
treatment for advanced gum disease?
-
Do I have dentures that slip or cause sore spots when
I chew?
-
Am I having any problems with existing crowns or
bridges, either functionally or cosmetically?
-
Do I carry my complete or partial dentures in my
pocket or leave them at home?
-
Are the teeth holding my bridge loosening or moving?
-
Can I wait three to nine months for the entire implant
process to be completed?
-
Will I be willing to commit to the high standard of
home care that is necessary to properly maintain a
dental implant?
-
Will I follow up with regular dental checkups?
-
Do I believe that my life could be improved if my
teeth were improved?
-
When eating foods do your dentures shift and click so
that it is uncomfortable?
If
you have experienced any of the above you are most
certainly not alone. However, modern dentistry has come
a long way in recent years and there is no need for you
to continue living in discomfort.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures
There are
several options to consider when replacing missing
teeth. Dentures and dental implants are the two most
common solutions. The two differ in longevity,
comfort, confidence while wearing, and effect on your
pocket book.
Dentures
Many
people with missing teeth wear conventional upper and
lower dentures or partial dentures and many are unhappy
with them. Lower dentures never fit or feel like natural
teeth. They become loose fitting due to shrinking gum
tissue, which then causes irritation to the mouth, sores
and pain. Lower dentures also restrict your ability to
eat or talk as you had with your natural teeth. The only
relief is in using messy dental adhesive to improve the
fit.
Upper dentures are a bit different. They are easier to
wear because the suction in upper palate (roof of the
mouth) helps keep the denture in place. But having the
palate covered can also reduce the taste of foods that
you are eating. Sores and pain in chewing and talking
are quite frequent as the gum tissue shrinks, and many
people suffer from having to use dental adhesive with
upper dentures as well.
Removable
partial dentures might be used when only several teeth
are missing. A partial denture anchors to the teeth on
either side of the empty area using a metal clasp. This
can be very damaging to these teeth. Removable partial
dentures can also be hard on the gum tissue when chewing
and talking.
The advantage of upper and lower dentures is that they
can be constructed quickly and they initially cost less
than implants. They may last a lifetime, but over the
years with aging, new sets need to be made to fit the
changing gum tissue and chewing surfaces of the teeth in
the dentures.
Have you ever had this problem with your conventional
denture?
-
When eating foods do your dentures shift and click so
that it is uncomfortable?
-
Have you ever been public speaking and had issues
where your bridge or denture was shifting and making
it uncomfortable to speak?
-
Do you wish you could eat more steak and comfortably
bite into an apple without fear of your denture
becoming loose.
-
Are you embarrassed to smile?
-
Have you been experiencing bone loss or gum recession
since wearing dentures or having a dental bridge?
-
Have your dentures ever cracked or made it
uncomfortable to fit?
-
Do you feel like you've lost the smile you had when
you had your natural teeth?
Dental Implants - A Better Solution
With the
introduction of dental implants, the need to suffer with
uncomfortable restorations has been eliminated. As our
life span has been increasing, the need for some type of
highly functional dental replacement system has become
increasingly important. Dental implants are permanent
dental replacements that are both natural looking and
very functional. Implants look much better and feel
better, and offer the same force for biting as natural
teeth. If you are a non-smoker with good oral hygiene
habits, dental implants should last for a lifetime.
Dental implants are a major investment and the procedure
can be time consuming. As with any complex surgery,
there is always the risk of complication even after a
thorough examination and consultation prior to care. But
dental implants are a dependable and life long solution
to missing teeth. Compared with dentures, which can be
loose and unstable, implants provide a permanent
solution that is both functional and natural in
appearance, giving you the confidence to smile and show
your pearly whites.
Summary
Both
dentures and dental implants have progressed rapidly
over the years. Many people are finding that dental
implants are the most desirable solution for missing
teeth. Implants allow for a new found confidence while
smiling, far exceeding the comfort and confidence found
with dentures.
Advantages of Dental Implants over Dentures or a Bridge
-
Appearance/Esthetic
Dental implants
look and act more like your natural teeth compared to
loose fitting dentures and ill fitting bridgework.
Since dental implants integrate into the structure of
your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum
recession that often accompany bridgework and
dentures. No one will ever know that you have a
replacement tooth.
-
Tooth-Saving
Dental
implants
don't sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth
like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not
altered to support the implant. More of your own teeth
are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to
your oral health!
-
Increased
Confidence and Self Esteem
implants
will allow you to once again speak and eat with
comfort and confidence! Those pastes and denture
powders can be a pain to have to use on a daily
basis. Think about it, have you ever been somewhere
where you forgot your denture paste and had to make a
last minute trip to the pharmacy. With dental
implants you no longer have to worry about your
dentures slipping and cracking while eating or
speaking. The look and act like your natural teeth.
They shall allow you to say goodbye to worries about
misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.
-
Reliable
The
success rate of dental implants is highly predictable.
Of course good oral health, healthy gum tissue and
good bone structure help increase the effectiveness.
They are considered an excellent option for tooth
replacement.
Why are dental implants made of Titanium ?
Being bio compatible, which means the body accepts it,
Titanium is used for implants as the body immune system
does not recognize it and hence permits the Titanium
bolt to grow together with the jawbone without rejecting
it. It is very well tolerated by the human body and
compatible with bone and oral.
A dental implant is placed into your upper or lower jaw
bone by dentist and allowed to heal in the bone for a
period of time until the bone-implant union is strong
enough to support a prosthetic tooth. After the bone has
grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown,
bridge or over-denture just like roots hold natural
teeth in place.
Implants are very durable and can last a lifetime under
proper conditions, such as and experienced dentist and
diligent patient maintenance. They are like your own
teeth and will require the same clean and maintenance as
natural teeth. This includes brushing, flossing and
regular dental check-ups. Long-term study has shown
improving success for implants.
Implant Procedure
Surgical placement of the implant(s) into the bone. This
is usually done right in the dentist’s office, with a
local anesthetic. After surgery, there is a healing
period of approximately four months. During this time,
the implants fuse to the bone by a process known as ‘osseointegration’.
Next, there is a minor surgical exposure of the top of
the implant, whereby the dentist will attach the post to
the implant. The function of the post is to become the
support for either one tooth or a set of teeth. This is
a short procedure that usually requires only local
anesthesia.
The
last phase is the restorative phase. The dentist will
take impressions and then make a prosthesis that will
attach to the implants. This will require several
visits. Once completed, your mouth will be restored to
natural looking, strong teeth.
Have you ever had these problems with your conventional
denture?
-
To replace one or more teeth without affecting
bordering teeth.
-
To replace a single tooth, so that grinding down or
altering adjacent teeth is no longer necessary.
-
To support a bridge and eliminate the need for a
removable partial denture.
-
To provide support for a denture, making it more
secure and comfortable.
-
To increase the support and stability of full upper or
lower denture.
-
To enhance chewing comfort.
-
To increase confidence while smiling, talking and
eating.
-
To improve your overall psychological health.
-
To have a positive effect on pronunciation.
-
To increase more positive aesthetic effect on the
facial expression.
There are several situations where dental implants may
be considered. Depending on your specific condition and
the type of Implant chosen, your periodontist will
create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.
Replacing a Single Tooth with a Dental Implant
If you have lost a tooth due to an accident or from
periodontal disease, that one tooth can be replaced
using a dental implant.
A dental implant is an excellent way of replacing a
single tooth without the disadvantages of a fixed bridge
or removable dentures. It is the ideal treatment for a
missing tooth because it does not affect your adjacent
teeth. That means no grinding or crowning of your
natural teeth for bridges, and no clasps for removable
partial dentures.
Your teeth stimulate the surrounding bone with each
bite. This preserves the integrity of the bone. When a
tooth is lost, the bone is not stimulated and begins to
shrink away. A dental implant keeps this bone intact and
can prevent both bone loss and gum tissue shrinkage. In
addition, because a dental implant replaces the root
structure, the jawbone is better preserved. A dental
implant is also much easier to clean as compared to a
bridge. And unlike a bridge, an implant can not be
affected by cavities.
A dental implant both looks and functions like a natural
tooth, while having several advantages over other types
of tooth replacement. If you are missing a single tooth,
a dental implant is the most natural looking way to
replace it.
The most common method for replacing a single missing
tooth is with a fixed bridge that is cemented to the
teeth on either side of a missing tooth. With all fixed
bridges the teeth adjacent to the space must be reduced
to properly hold the bridge. The most conservative
bridge is a Resin-Bonded Bridge (RBB), sometimes called
a
Maryland
bridge. The resin-Bonded Bridge offers the advantage of
minimal reduction of adjacent teeth to support the
missing tooth. This type of bridge can only be used
under certain circumstances.
A conventional bridge requires that the teeth on either
side of the space be reduced in size to take room for
crown which is then cemented onto the prepared teeth.
The artificial replacement tooth is attached to these
crowns prior to cementation. When properly maintained,
the resin bonded bridge and the conventional bridge can
last many years.
Implants can be considered to replace a single tooth.
Often when the teeth on either side of the space are in
good health, an implant may be the most conservative
means of replacing the missing teeth because the
adjacent teeth do not have to be reduced.
Treatment Steps
1. The first step is the placement of the
titanium implant. The implant will remain covered
underneath the gum for approximately 3 to 6 months.
During this time, the implant should fuse to the bone.
2. The second step of procedure involves
uncovering the implant and attaching a post. This
completes the foundation on which your new tooth will be
placed. In some instances, the implant dentist may
decide to place the post at the time of the initial
surgery.
3. The final step is the placement of your new
tooth by your dentist. With techniques that ensure
optimal size, shape, color and fit, this replacement
tooth should blend with your remaining teeth.
Replacing Multiple Teeth with Dental Implants
As we age, a greater effort is required in the
maintenance of our appearance. While we may force
ourselves to a strict diet and exercise, many times our
teeth are forgotten. Teeth are prone to deterioration
after many years of use. They get worn down,
chipped/cracked, and eventually they can be lost due to
physical injury or prolonged tooth decay and
deterioration. Having many missing teeth is detrimental
to the health so replacing these teeth is very
important.
When two or three adjacent teeth are missing, a bridge
may be the treatment of choice depending on the
condition of the teeth next to the space and the bone
supporting these teeth. The more missing teeth to be
replaced, the greater the force that is placed on the
remaining teeth which support the artificial teeth.
In some cases, when there are not enough teeth, a
conventional bridge is not possible and a removable
partial denture will have to be considered to replace
the missing teeth. A partial denture spreads the force
to the adjacent teeth as well as to the underlying bone
and gum tissue. A removable partial denture is less
expensive than a conventional bridge. However, a partial
denture is more bulky and less stable than a bridge and
often times metal clasps will be seen when smiling. In
some cases, the partial denture may cause deterioration
of the natural teeth due to excessive forces.
When an implant is placed in the space where the teeth
are missing, it can help by absorbing some of the load
created by chewing forces and therefore make it easier
for the adjacent natural teeth to withstand the force.
When an implant is placed in the space where the teeth
are missing, a bridge may be considered instead of a
removable partial denture.
Treatment Steps
1. The first step is the placement of the
titanium implants to replace lost teeth. These implants
will remain covered underneath the gum for approximately
3 to 6 months. During this time, the implant should fuse
to the bone.
2. The second step of procedure involves
uncovering the implant and attaching a post to each
implant. This completes the foundation on which your
teeth will be placed. In some instances, the implant
dentist may decide to place the posts at the time of
surgery.
3. The final step is the placement of your new
teeth by your dentist. With techniques that ensure
optimal size, shape, color and fit, your replacement
teeth should blend with your remaining natural teeth.
Dentures will fit more securely and comfortably with an
overdenture implant. This will minimize any discomfort
and movement (slipping) that is common with normal
dentures. Many older adults are turning towards dental
implant supported dentures for their greater comfort and
confidence with dentures. Many people are often able to
eat the foods they couldn’t with their old dentures.
Multiple teeth implants are a great way to add
confidence to your smile with a truly snug fitting
denture or getting rid of that ill-fitting partial
denture.
Replacing Full upper or Lower Jaw with Dental
Implants
The conventional method of replacing all the teeth in a
jaw is with a complete denture. If the jaw bone does not
provide sufficient support, sometimes surgical
procedures can be done to improve support and retention
for the complete denture. These surgical procedures can
include moving the position of muscle attachments or
placing bone grafts.
A complete denture rests on the gums. In the upper jaw
it also rests on the roof of the mouth. In addition to
chewing forces being spread over a larger area, forces
that might tend to dislodge the denture are offset by a
suction which forms between it and the roof of the
mouth. This suction helps to keep the denture in place.
Most people are able to adapt reasonably well to an
upper complete denture. However, a lower complete
denture is considerably more difficult to wear. The
forces are applied over a smaller area and due to the
movements of the tongue suction usually can not be
developed.
The constant pressure on the gums under the dentures can
cause slow changes in the underlying bone which result
in the dentures losing their fit. For this reason
complete dentures should be professionally examined at
regular intervals, and when the tissues show sufficient
change, the dentures should be relined, rebased, or
remade, depending on the specific conditions. When
improperly fitted dentures continue to be worn, the
pressure may result in excessive bone loss. Eventually,
so much bone loss can occur that a well fitting complete
denture can not longer be made. Under these
circumstances, implants may be the treatment of choice.
Treatment Steps
1. The first step is the placement of the
titanium implants to replace lost teeth. These implants
will remain covered underneath the gum for approximately
3 to 6 months. During this time, the implant should fuse
to the bone.
2. The second step of procedure involves
uncovering the implant and attaching a post to each
implant. This completes the foundation on which your
teeth will be placed. In some instances, the implant
dentist may decide to place the posts at the time of
surgery.
3. The final step is the placement of your new
teeth by your dentist. With techniques that ensure
optimal size, shape, color and fit, your replacement
teeth should blend with your facial characteristics
while providing support needed for natural appearance.
Removable option
1. The first step
is the placement of the titanium implants to replace
lost teeth. These implants will remain covered
underneath the gum for approximately 3 to 6 months.
During this time, the implant should fuse to the bone.
2. The second step of procedure involves
uncovering the implant and attaching a post to each
implant. In some instances, the implant dentist may
decide to place the posts at the time of surgery.
3. The final step is the placement of your new
teeth by your dentist. First a bar or other attachment
will be affixed to the posts, completing the foundation
on which your removable restoration will be placed. With
techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, color and
fit, this removable restoration will blend with your
facial characteristics, while providing support needed
for natural appearance.
Summary
If you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth,
dental implants are the way to go. They are the most
natural looking way to replace missing teeth. Dental
implants help maintain the integrity of the jawbone and
prevent deterioration of the bone that can take place
with missing teeth. It’s important to replace missing
teeth as soon as possible for the full function of
chewing and for a healthy, happy smile.
