Dental Implants are nothing to be scared of!
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, made from biocompatible titanium surgically implanted into the jawbone. After a healing period of approximately two months, a screw-retained crown is attached to the implant, effectively restoring the missing tooth.
If you are facing challenges due to missing, fractured, or extensively damaged teeth, it can impact your self-assurance and overall well-being. Your oral health is crucial, and you deserve solutions that offer both functionality and aesthetics. Consider discussing dental implant restorations with us today.
At Pearl Dental Group our dental implant restorations are crafted for lasting results using top-grade biocompatible materials. We are committed to guiding you through the best quality implants and determining the most suitable treatment approach for your unique needs.
We prioritize gentle and comfortable Tooth Extractions.
While our initial goal is to preserve your tooth, in cases of severe damage where repair is not feasible, a dental extraction may be recommended. Wisdom teeth extractions are frequently performed to alleviate crowding in the jaw or enhance overall dental well-being.
Our practice focuses on delivering top-notch, comfortable dental care for patients of all ages, encompassing extractions. If you suspect a tooth extraction may be necessary, reach out to our office to schedule a consultation today.
Dr. Dobbeleir provides insights into frequently asked questions regarding tooth extractions:
Certainly! We specialize in wisdom teeth extractions for patients across all age groups. While not everyone necessitates the removal of their wisdom teeth, we are here to guide you in determining the significance of extracting them for your overall health and well-being.
Following the procedure, it’s essential to rest. If necessary, gauze will be placed after the surgery and held for a short period of time. When you get back home, rest but avoid lying flat to prevent prolonged bleeding. Instead, elevate your head with a pillow.
We will make sure you are completely numb and at ease throughout the procedure. Pain medication may be prescribed for you to take post-surgery. Additionally, you can use an ice pack to help relieve any discomfort in the first day or so following the procedure.
Following your surgery, we recommend avoiding hard or chewy foods for a few days. Instead, you may want to consider consuming soft foods such as:
Gelatin
Pudding
Yogurt
Mashed potatoes
Ice cream
Thin soups
When drinking, it’s best to refrain from using a straw, as the sucking motion could disrupt your sutures and impede the clotting process. The same caution applies to smoking and vaping.
We prioritize Complete Gum Treatments.
