Preventive care
A healthy smile is achieved and maintained through both preventive care and early detection and treatment of problems that do occur. Here at Bearable Dentistry preventative care is always the most important service we offer for any patient.
X-rays are an essential part of maintaining good oral health and an important tool to help diagnose, detect disease and damage not clinically visible during a routine dental exam.
A healthy smile means no pain ,no infection, no decay, no fractures, no cracks, no gum disease, no missing teeth and perfectly white shaped teeth for proper mouth function.
The key to a healthy smile is preventive care.
Regular checkups, every 6 months ( or more often if recommended to catch any problem early), allow us to detect and treat issues before they become a problem.
Whether it is an elective or treatment procedure, we will make sure your smile is healthy and beautiful!
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implants
Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing or extracted teeth. They provide a strong, long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth and closely resemble the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require adjacent healthy teeth to be altered or reduced to support a replacement tooth, making them a more conservative treatment option.
How the Dental Implant Process Works
- Implant Placement: A small titanium metal post (the dental implant) is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next 4–6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a stable and durable foundation.
- Abutment Placement: Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This connector serves as the base for the final restoration.
- Impression: After approximately 2–3 weeks of healing, a traditional or digital impression is taken to ensure a precise fit.
- Final Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture is fabricated and securely attached, completing your smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Replace one or more missing teeth with a natural-looking result.
- Preserve the health of adjacent teeth by eliminating the need to modify them.
- Help maintain jawbone health and reduce bone loss.
- Restore normal chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
- Provide a durable, long-term solution with proper care and regular dental visits.
ROOT CANALS
ROOT CANALS
Root canal (root canal therapy) is a dental procedure in which diseased tissue from inside your teeth is removed, cleaned , disinfected and filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth frequently were extracted, but today, even if the pulp in one of your teeth becomes injured or infected, the tooth often can be saved through a root canal.
Inside of our teeth there is a pulp chamber that contains blood vessels and nerves. When the pulp is diseased or injured and unable to repair itself, becomes infected. The most common causes of the pulp dying are a deep cavity requiring large fillings, old fillings with or without secondary decay, a traumatic injuries to the tooth damaged by bruxism (clenching, grinding or gnashing) , a cracked tooth, or the pulp becomes exposed due to tooth fracture into the chamber all of which may allow bacteria and their products to enter into the pulp.
If the diseased pulp is not removed, the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth can become infected, resulting in pain and swelling. Even if there is not pain, certain substances released by bacteria can damage the bone that anchors the tooth in the jaw. Left untreated, the infection can spread to the jaw and throughout the face and body, resulting in systemic infection, and the tooth may be extracted.
When a tooth is removed and not replaced, the nearest teeth may begin to shift from their normal position and become crooked or crowded ;these teeth are more likely to have gum disease because they are harder to keep clean than straight teeth.
Root canal therapy is an effective, quick way to preserve your tooth in your jaw and the appearance of your smile.
After root canal therapy, the tooth will need final restoration. Typically, a porcelain or gold crown, is used to restore the tooth back to its shape and function.
DENTURES
Dentures
Full Dentures
Conventional Dentures
Custom-made after all remaining teeth have been removed and the gums have fully healed, typically within 8–12 weeks. These dentures are designed to restore function, comfort, and appearance.
Immediate Dentures
Placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to leave the office with teeth the same day. As the gums heal and change shape, adjustments, relining, or replacement may be necessary.
Partial Dentures
Removable Partial Dentures (RPD)
Designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. These dentures typically consist of a metal framework with an acrylic base and attach securely to existing teeth using clasps.
Flexible Partial Dentures
Made from a lightweight, flexible material such as Valplast®. These dentures offer improved comfort, a natural appearance, and metal-free aesthetics.
Cast Metal Partial Dentures
Constructed with a durable cast-metal framework for superior strength, precision, and long-term performance. Often considered the preferred option for long-lasting tooth replacement.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures provide exceptional stability and retention by securely attaching the denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone. They help improve chewing ability, speech, comfort, and confidence.
Fixed Implant Dentures
Permanently attached to dental implants and can only be removed by a dental professional. They offer maximum stability and function, closely resembling natural teeth.
Removable Implant Dentures (Overdentures)
Securely snap onto dental implants while remaining removable by the patient for easy cleaning and maintenance. They provide significantly greater stability than traditional dentures.
