Maintenance of Dental Implants

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Dental Implants are a fantastic way of replacing missing teeth. Success rates are high when carried out by an experienced surgeon, but to ensure that the long term success of dental implants stays high, it is imperative to maintain a high standard of oral hygiene.

We advise all our patients to regularly see the hygienist and to brush, floss their teeth and use moutwash. This same advice is given to our implant patients as well.

Once implant treatment has been completed, Kal and Rebecca will show our patients how to maintain their oral health and how to look after their implants. Implants need looking after just as much as natural teeth. We also advice patients to use Waterpik, a fantastic tool to clean under the implant crowns and bridges.

The importance of nightguards

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Here at the Dental Suite we have been offering our patients acrylic mouthguards (Occlusal Splins) for many years. Kal has trained extensively worldwide in this subject  under the supervision of the top dentists in the field .

When are mouthguards necessary?

- if you have a habit of grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw muscles

- if you are having extensive restorative dentistry, to protect crowns and veneers

- if you have jaw joint problems

- if you suffer from headaches

- in some cases, after orthodontic treatment

Mouthguards (known as Occlusal Splints) have been proved to be very effective in treating all of the above

What does treatment involve. At the first appointment, we will be studying your bite very carefully and will take accurate moulds of your top and bottom teeth and record the way you bite together. The lab will then construct a hard mouthguard (splint) which will be adjusted at the second appointment when the splint is fitted. Further review appointments will be required to monitor progress and to carry out any necessary adjustments.

The Importance of Home Maintenance

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

At our practice, we focus a lot on gum health. This is because gums are the foundation of our teeth and therefore. Without healthy gums, there would be no beautiful straight teeth!

 

We therefore advise all our patients to see our fantastic Hygienist Rebecca Muir. She is gentle but yet very thorough. She is also great at educating our patients and teaching them how to maintain their gum health when at home and between hygienist visit.

At the Dental Suite in Loughborrough, we know that professional cleans are very important, but this would not be as effective without meticulous home maintenance.

 

Come and see our excellent hygienist for your gum treatment!
