Accordingly,
more and more Ottawa dentists are seeing individuals wanting to enter into a
dental implant treatment. The reason being is, they can get back their smile
and improve the health of their gums in the process. The methods that make this
type of oral surgery possible have transformed from a long drawn out process
that used to take 18 to 24 months in a single visit to your dentist.
The process has
a few different names depending on what country one resides in. Some call it ‘All
on Four Dental Implants,’ ‘Teeth in a Day’, or ‘Smile in a Day.’ The process is
the same regardless of the name. What it entails is, in cases where there are
many missing teeth, inserting four implants made of ceramic with a stem made of
titanium, (the metal is non-corrosive), into the jawbone.
The next step is
using a set of crowns and bridges to fill the gaps between the implants. The
result is a new set of teeth with the implants as anchors for the bridges. Here
in Ottawa there has been an increase in the amount of the patient’s wanting to
regain the smile they once had when their teeth were healthy. When someone was
decaying teeth, they tend to smile less and begin to change on a psychological
level, i.e. loss of confidence and a lower self-esteem.
Consequently,
what makes this procedure possible in today’s world of Ottawa Dentistry, or
anywhere else for that matter, is the advanced technology that is available by
way of 3D imaging, which allows for a clearer picture of a patient's teeth, coupled
with the mechanisms that help create the implants in the dental office. People
here in Ottawa who have experienced a dental implant procedure show an increase
in their confidence in addition to a rise in their self-esteem. Moreover,
dental implants work for replacing any number of missing or decaying teeth
beyond any normal restorative methods.
