Same day dental implants

Image
Many patients benefit from  #implants , but it can be  #cumbersome  for some of us to wait for  #new   #set  of teeth. If you are one of them, then  #same   #day  implants are the one for you. A traditional implant usually requires a waiting period of about six months between visits; with  #immediate   #loading  implants you can have that  #whole   #procedure  on the same day. Same day implants  #require  a  #short   #recovery  period as you just have a single appointment with your dentist unlike  #traditional  implants  #placements  which requires recovery period after each dental visit.

Basal Implants

Image
#Basal   #implant   #systems  are  #designed  in such a manner that they give  #exceptional   #stability  during  #immediate   #loading  in your  #jaws . The  #surgeon  will place them  #immediately  after  #extraction  of teeth in  #basal  / #cortical   #bone , unlike other implants requiring crestal bone (which supports teeth in your jaws). This bone is more  #resistant  to  #resorption  compared with crestal bone. https://smiledental.com/dental-implants/basal-implants/

Child's first dental visit

#First   #visit  is usually  #short  &  #informative ; it gives your child an opportunity to meet the dentist in a friendly manner. To  #prepare  your little ones, speak with them about what’s about to happen, have them practice to open & close their mouth to get them  #ready  for dental  #checkup  so that they can be more  #confident  & less fearful. During their visit, the dentist will examine to make sure the teeth and jaws are developing in the manner as they should, if there are any mouth injuries, cavities or other issues.
