Dental Implants

If you have lost a tooth as a result of injury or tooth decay, there is no reason to go through life with a gap in your teeth. Dental implants can restore a smile to your face. Dental implants are made from titanium and fixed into the jawbone before a crown is fixed on top to replace the lost tooth.

Implants help to maintain the jaw structure and provide replacements that look and feel natural. They can boost your confidence if you had lost front teeth making you cautious about your smile.

If you are wondering if you should have implants done, visit the dentist to carry out an examination and recommendation. You can also discuss the cost.

The bottom-line though is there is no reason to lose your teeth permanently when they can be replaced.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction

The wisdom tooth is an extra molar that fights for space on the jaw and usually causes complications. It is the last tooth to develop and usually starts to grow in the teen years.

When to perform the extraction?

The wisdom tooth may begin to cause problems between the age of 17 and 25. This is the time when extraction should be done to prevent any complication.

The Extraction

Thanks to modern dental technology, it is possible to carry out an X-ray and examination to determine if the wisdom teeth may be a problem.
Once it is determined that it is likely to be impacted or cause deformation of the jawline, the dentist will schedule an extraction. Here the gum is cut open around the tooth and the entire tooth pulled out with the roots.

Post-extraction

After extraction, the dentist will prescribe some pain killers and antibiotics to ensure no infection sets in. There should be minimal pain and you would be expected to return to the dentist for a checkup periodically.
