DENTAL IMPLANTS

• Dental implants can replace one single missing
  tooth or multiple missing teeth, and no other
  option to replace missing teeth has proven as
  effective and durable as implants. A small
  titanium cylinder is placed in the space of the
  missing tooth.
• Once the implant is placed, we let it heal, then
  take impressions and make a crown.
• Multiple missing teeth, we can do multiple
  implants and place crowns over them.

Dental Implants 2

• We can replace them with dentures that attach to
  the implants
• Titanium is a material that the mouth and tissues
  around the teeth take to well
• There are no side effects after doing the
  implants
• It is a pain free procedure

6
Cosmetic Dentistry

• Cosmetic dentistry is any procedure that makes a
  tooth or a whole smile look beautiful.
• Cover stain
• Chipped teeth
• Broken teeth
•  make teeth white and pretty again. Using
  cosmetic dentistry
• A smile makeover essentially revamps a patient's
  smile by straightening, whitening, or replacing
  missing teeth.

7
Porcelain Veneers

• Porcelain veneers are beautiful coverings that
  are produced in a lab and then placed over
  chipped or broken teeth.
• A patient might need one veneer, while another
  patient may need 24 veneers.
• And the results make for natural looking and
  beautiful smiles our patients love their smiles
  after they have had veneers placed on their
  teeth.
• You can also brush your teeth as you would
  normally.
• Keeping them clean is important.
• While porcelain veneers are resistant to stains,
  they can still become discoloured if not
  properly cleaned

8
Smile Makeovers

• We use smile makeovers to give them a brighter
  and whiter smile free of gaps and crooked
  teeth.
•  A smile makeover is ideal to fix crooked,
  discoloured, or worn down teeth.
• Teeth can be straightened, whitened, or restored.
• Treatments used porcelain veneers, crowns and
  bridges, dental implants, and even traditional or
  invisible braces.
• Straightening is done using braces and invisible
  aligners for people who want to fix their
  misaligned teeth.

9
Teeth Whitening

• We offer three types of teeth whitening in our
  office KöR Whitening, ZOOM! Whitening, and
  basic whitening take-home trays.KöR Whitening
  system is meant for people who need intrinsic
  cleaning or tetracycline cleaning.
• ZOOM! Whitening is an in-office whitening
  procedure where the patient comes in to the
  dental office to get the whitening done
• Basic whitening comes in the form of take-home
  whitening trays.
• This involves taking impressions of the patient's
  teeth and creating plastic trays for them to
  wear.
• A special whitening gel is then placed into the
  plastic tray, and the patient wears it for 1 to 4
  hrs over his teeth

10
Invisalign

• The Invisalign system is a clear alternative to
  traditional metal braces, and can be used on
  teenagers and adults alike to create the smile
  they desire.
• Invisalign aligners are easy to clean and easy to
  keep clean, which is especially important for
  teenagers.
• Having clean teeth during treatment helps keep
  bacteria, cavities, and decay away, which is a
  problem with traditional metal braces.
• They can be removed  brushed, and cleaned.

11
Gum Disease

• Sort of gum disease, the early stages of which is
  gingivitis. This is when the gums become swollen,
  sore, and bleed. 
• Gum disease is a serious issue and is the major
  cause of tooth loss.
• If left untreated, the gums will loosen around
  the teeth and the teeth will not have support to
  keep them in place which, leads to their loss. 
•  Gum disease and the gums bleed, the bacteria
  from the mouth gets into your system by going
  into your bloodstream.

12
Then the bacteria go into the arteries near your
heart, so gum disease is closely linked to heart
disease.

• We are now realizing that when you take care of
  your gums, you are also taking care of your
  heart.
• The same thing is true for diabetes and several
  other inflammatory processes.
• Research shows that the plaque that builds up in
  arteries and leads to heart.

13
Crowns and Bridges

• Crowns and bridges help restore a smile that has
  gaps in it.
• crown protects a tooth that has been affected by
  a crack, filling, decay, or cavity from breakage.
  
• Its job is to save a damaged tooth.
• People wearing crowns and bridges have to take
  extra care when eating and cleaning their teeth.

14
Root Canals

• When a tooth is infected, and we want to save it,
  a root canal is the best option. 
• We numb the tooth and clean out the infected
  area, which is the root portion of the tooth, or
  the nerve.
• The remaining gap or canal is filled with a
  stable material and sealed off.
• Finally, the tooth is properly restored with a
  crown as a covering to give it stability.
• This is done to make sure the tooth is strong
  enough to function. 
•  A root canal can save you from losing your
  natural tooth, and can also help you to chew and
  speak properly.

15
Sleep Apnea

• Sleep Apnea is a condition where a person
  experiences periods of interrupted sleep during
  their sleep time.
• With Sleep Apnea, the person keeps waking up and
  losing sleep because they stop breathing or
  cannot catch their breath.
•  The only solution to treating Sleep Apnea had
  been using a C-PAP machine.
• This is a big gangly machine that plugs in and
  helps the patient breathe all night long.
• It is a big apparatus, and not the most
  comfortable tool. 

16
Sleep Apnea 2

• Easier way to treat Sleep Apnea and it does not
  involve machinery.
• We can create a dental appliance that positions
  the jaw so the patients airway stays open while
  they sleep.
• When Sleep Apnea occurs, the tongue usually falls
  back and constricts the airway.
• The dental appliance positions the jaw in a way
  that prevents this and keeps the airway clear.
• With these simple appliances, they are able to
  breathe freely throughout the night and get the
  right amount of oxygen, without being interrupted
  while they sleep.
• Dental appliances are becoming more popular for
  treating Sleep Apnea because they are not bulky
  and are comfortable to wear
