By | Dentist | 3 Comments

Titanium BarImplant supported over-dentures are commonly used by many dental implant specialists. At Dream Dental, we offer a variety of dental implant options, one of which is a titanium bar dental implant. CAD/CAM technology allows us to use a titanium bar that is placed and fit with a fixed or partial denture. Using CAD software, we are able to design an over-denture that is fit precisely to your mouth.

Using a pantograph milling device, the bar is milled without the need for welding or soldering. We are able to create a variety of bar designs and can screw the implant directly to the titanium bar, allowing for proper strength and support. Dream Dental Implant Center prefers the titanium bar as it is easy to maintain and will not cause harm to surrounding tissue.

Several patients have been treated using this implant option with great success. Restorative dentistry procedures are all about long-term prognosis and predictability. Using the CAD/CAM technology, Dream Dental Implant Center in Salt Lake City can provide custom milled titanium alloy bars providing a great fit. With titanium, we are able to provide a durable and stronger option compared to a gold cast bar. If you have limited bone density, or you need alternative options for dental implant procedures, contact our office to learn more about implant supported milled bar over-dentures.

How Do Dental Implants Stay in the Mouth?

By | Dentist | 5 Comments

Here at Dream Dental Implant Center, we see a number of different patients dealing with a variety of oral health conditions. We deal with minor to very severe cases. One of the most common questions we are asked is “how do dental implants stay in the mouth?” It is important to understand that in order for dental implants to be successful, you need to have good oral health. A healthy mouth makes our job easier as we know the implant will be able to bond with your bone. When you come in for an evaluation, we will discuss your bone density and other concerns you may have about dental implants.

How does an implant work?

Dental implants are fused to your jawbone using titanium screws. The implant works by becoming the new “root” of your tooth. Think of it as a fresh foundation for your new smile. We will take x-rays of your jawbone to determine if it is strong enough to hold the implant. If the jawbone is not strong enough, we will need to perform bone grafts, which transfer new bone to your jawbone, allowing it to become stronger. Once the area is ready, we can begin the implant process.

The Procedure

Our team will walk you through the entire procedure and we will answer any questions you have about the implant process. We offer a free consultation with a free 3D CT Scan so you’ll know, risk free, if this procedure is right for you. You will also have a pre-surgery consultation to delve deeper into what you can expect. Once we can determine the area is prepared, we will start the implant process. We will use a titanium screw and surgically insert it into your jawbone. The screw will then need to rest as it starts to fuse with the jawbone for several months. Once we determine the implant is successful, a false tooth (dental crown) or your full arch implant, depending on what you’re getting done, is then connected to the titanium screw(s), restoring your smile to its proper start.

The Implant Stays in Your Mouth

The implant process has several different steps that help to make it successful. When you are anesthetized, we will be gently removing gum tissue and drilling a small hole into the jawbone. The titanium screw is then slotted into the hole, and the gum tissue is positioned over the top. We will stitch the gum tissue in place to help it heal properly. The screw is strong enough to hold the implant in place, which prevents any concerns about an implant falling out.

Transcript of video: But what … The reason why I think it’s worth going out, taking a second on your house to do this is because right now your ability to eat and chew healthy food, your emotional health … You talk about your emotional health, your physical health, it’s okay. It’s like if your kids and your husband had to pick between happy mother that is healthy and is going to live a long time or to have a house that’s paid off, I wonder which one they would pick. But I know from your perspective, you’re thinking “I don’t want … We worked so hard, this equity we have there. We want to have for other things.” My comment is that I believe that’s true. I wouldn’t take a second out on for a vehicle or a vacation or all these things. But this is a physical and emotional thing where I believe that if you did this, even just the top, emotionally, your relationship with your husband would be better.

Promise it will be better, not because you’re not good now just because when you smile at him, you just gotta smile. Without holding back. And when a woman smiles at a man and she lets her full self be there. It’s presence. And that confidence equates to an amazing marriage. And so that’s number one. But think about what that could do in your job. You said you’re in management, right? Now, you have a really, really nice smile. Maybe you apply for that job that you haven’t applied for that’s like, “But then I’d have to be in front speaking in front of people and I just don’t do well in those circumstances. They’ll hide my smile.” Or you’re in that … Maybe it might be a position where you’re talking to people all the time and you just don’t feel comfortable because your teeth.

Maybe there’s more income in your job that you could squeeze out simply because of the teeth, right? Because that’s the emotional and financial. But then here’s my third thing is what if because you’re not eating healthy because you physically can’t, I know you do your best, but you’re already dealing with some issues with your stomach. What if that took that extra five years off your life or 10 years off your life? I mean it’s hard to … What I can tell you is that when you are eating healthy, you’re going to wake up with more energy. When you are eating the right things, obviously, you feel better about yourself, but you live longer. And so again, I kind of beat a dead horse sometimes, but I really believe that … I know we all have these beliefs when to go into debt and not go into debt.

It’s a very personal thing, but I would be, if it was my mom or my wife, this is something I promise you will get so much value out of it that you’ll make the money to pay off the mortgage again. But even if you did and your mortgage goes a little bit longer, at least you’re happy. At least you’re like the person your husband married 20 years ago or whenever you did, right? Because you can get him back that person. And I bet if you had to pick between, Okay, maybe I have an extra five years to pay off on my house. But those five years I would have this amazing, happy wife that’s healthy and she’s going to be here because we’re a mess when women die, right?
