What is a dental implant?

Definition: An implant is a screw made of titanium that is implanted in the jaw bone and replaces a missing tooth. After it is firmly welded to the bone, it will have the same function as the root of the tooth. Dental implants can be one piece or two pieces and are connected by the connecting screw of the crown and the root.

Dental implant care steps:

1. Before performing the operation, tooth decay should be checked and fixed.
2. To place the implant in the mouth, it is necessary to perform at least one surgery. In this surgery, which is also known as dental implant, the implant is placed in the jaw bone.
3. In a few months after surgery, the titanium pin is integrated with the jaw bone.
4. After a while, and being sure of the proper integration of the implant and the dental bone, the dentist can use the implants as a base and install the dental prosthesis on them.

Advantages of dental implant surgery

• Restore the ability to chew
• Restoration of appearance
• Helping to protect the jaw bone from atrophy due to bone loss
• Maintaining the health of adjacent bones and gums

Helping to stabilize the adjacent side tooth

• Improving the quality of life

How should I take care of dental implants?

Although the dental implant does not rot, you may get gum disease at the implant site. Proper oral and dental hygiene is important to protect teeth and implants. you must:

• Take care of teeth and gums by brushing and flossing daily.
• Have regular dental checkups.
• Take care of dentures and bridges and the gums.

Some of the most common side effects of dental implant surgery include:

• Discomfort: same as other surgeries, the patient will probably be in pain for several days after the procedure. The pain is not very severe, but your doctor may prescribe painkillers to control the pain.
• Bleeding: Although bleeding after a dental implant is rare, a little bleeding at the implant site is normal. This bleeding is usually minor and should not last more than a day or two.
• Swelling: A little swelling in the gum line around the treatment site is normal. In some cases, after dental implant surgery, the cheeks and sides of the face may also be swollen.
• Bruising: Bruising is another possible complication of dental implants. Parts of the face may be bruised. Like the swelling, this bruise will heal several days after treatment.
• How is the implant surgery?
• First, using local anesthesia, the mouth is numbed so that the patient does not feel pain during the treatment. Then, using a dental drill, a hole corresponding to the dimensions of the implant base is created inside the jaw bone. The base of the implant is placed inside the hole and the cap screw is installed on it to close the implant hole. Then the gum on the implant is covered and sutured. After a few months, when the process of bone integration has passed, the gum is cut on the implant again during a simple surgery. After the dentist has access to the implant, he unscrews the cap and screws the healing abutment onto the base of the implant. The type of abutment is selected based on the location of the tooth implant and the condition of the adjacent teeth and jawbone.
• After a period of time when the gum around the abutment has taken hold and healed, the dental veneer is attached to the abutment. The connection of the cover to the abutment may be by means of screws or glue. In some situations, one-stage surgery may be performed for implant placement. Its difference from the mentioned method is that in the first stage of implant implantation, the gum does not cover the implant so that there is no need to cut the gum for the installation of the abutment, which will be done in a few months.

Dental composite and laminate

One of the methods of correcting and treating smile design and repairing the appearance of teeth abnormalities is dental laminate. With the advancement of dental science, it is possible to fix the appearance defects of the teeth, such as ugly teeth, gaps between the teeth, and the covering of broken and irregular teeth.

Laminate is used on the front surface of the teeth and with a beautiful and uniform coating, it increases people's self-confidence so that they always have a beautiful smile and white teeth. It is better to know that dentists do not recommend dental laminate for people under 18 years old.

In addition to the appearance properties they have for teeth, laminates have other benefits such as increasing the life of teeth and increasing the strength of tooth enamel, so installing and performing the dental lamination process correctly is very important.

The types of dental laminates are generally divided into two categories in terms of the type of material: ceramic laminate and composite laminate, which have many differences. For example, ceramic laminate is made of ceramic or so-called porcelain, and it requires natural tooth grinding to be installed on the teeth. Ceramic laminate, which is also called porcelain veneer, is a thin ceramic coating with a small diameter (about 5 to 6 mm). Ceramic laminate is made in the laboratory according to the mold of the patient's teeth, and after the tooth is sharpened by the dentist, it is fixed on the tooth with the help of special materials.

The composite laminate that is applied directly on the tooth is made of polymer (a type of plastic) in the same color the tooth, and usually in the dentist's office, this material is first made into a paste, then it is placed on the tooth and fixed on the tooth with laser radiation.

In this type of dental laminate, there is usually no need to sharpen the teeth, and the composites will be placed directly on the teeth and there will be a protective layer on the tooth enamel.

What is the difference between dental composite and laminate?

The first difference between composite and dental laminate is in their material, as mentioned, ceramic laminate is made of porcelain and composite is made of polymer, which you will read about some of the differences between laminate and composite.

• Laminate is made in the laboratory and composite in the office.
• The price of dental laminate is higher than composite.
• Laminate has more color stability than composite.
• The lifetime of ceramic dental laminate is longer than that of composite.
• It requires less tooth grinding in composite than in laminate.
• Dental lamination requires anesthesia.
• The treatment length of ceramic laminate is longer than the composite.

What is dental veneer composite?

Composites are used to beautify the smile design and fix some of the teeth's appearance defects or even rebuild the entire tooth. Composite in this role is called composite veneer or dental composite bonding. In general, veneer type composite is used for the following 3 purposes:

• Creating general changes in the appearance of teeth and beauty
• approximate change of shape and tooth restoration
• Improvement of tooth color

You can choose the best type of dental composite with the right color to beautify your smile according to your skin color and other facial features.

The difference between dental composite and laminate

• Duration: Like composite, dental lamination is a method for the beauty of the smile design, but preparing and installing it on the teeth requires several important and sensitive steps, which is why compared to composite, the process takes a lot of time.
• Tooth grinding: in tooth restoration with composite, unlike laminate, the tooth is not sharpened and its volume is not reduced, but it is easily attached to the tooth surfaces. In other words, this method of tooth restoration is usually relatively quick and painless.
• Resistance: In terms of resistance, we must say that laminate is superior to composite in terms of resistance, and in addition, its colorability and color change over time are less for laminate.

tip:

Be sure to ask your dentist if they have enough experience before doing this. If you are not sure of his technical skill, you may not see the desired result in the end.

who can not laminate their teeth?

Dental lamination is not suitable for these people:

1- Those who have uncontrolled gum disease. Gum disease may have been happened by poor hygiene or improper veneers or previous laminates. In this situation, it is necessary to remove the previous veneer first. After going through the process of gum repair, replace the new treatment.

2- People who grind their teeth severely may suffer frequent fractures.

3- People who have lost a lot of their tooth enamel. In these people, the laminate does not stick well to the teeth.

Dental laminate is for solving minor teeth problems. If the teeth are too crowded or the jaw is too narrow, it is necessary to undergo orthodontic treatment. If after orthodontic treatment, the shape and distance of the teeth is not favorable, laminate treatment should be used as a supplement.

There are different types of dental laminates, some of which require tooth grinding. Although this cut is about half a millimeter and very short, this small cut may sometimes discourage a person from doing laminate.

For this group of people who want to laminate without grinding the tooth enamel, laminate without sharpening is recommended. Untrimmed laminates are made to the thickness of eye lenses. These laminates are also called non-prep or luminaries, and if they are suitable for you from the dentist's point of view, they are very beautiful choice. In addition, there are also crystal laminates and they are very beautiful and shiny and are made in a small thickness.

In general, dental laminates are made with different types of porcelain, such as feldspathic porcelain, IPS, zirconia, etc., each of which is different from the others in terms of color and resistance.

Care after dental lamination:

• Breaking pistachios, seeds, almonds and all kinds of hard foods or chewing ice, the bottom of a pot, etc. with natural teeth is very harmful. This damage is much more serious in the case of laminated teeth, and if care is not taken, the possibility of breakage or chipping increases.
• Habits like holding a needle, hairpin or any other foreign object with the teeth can damage the laminates. In fact, what guarantees the longevity of the laminated tooth is the way it is maintained.
• Brushing and flossing and other health care recommended by your doctor must be done carefully and regularly to prevent further decay.
• Include periodic visits to check the health of your laminate and teeth in your annual schedule.
• Consumption of colored substances such as tea and coffee and tobacco (cigarettes and hookah) should be minimized in all beauty treatments. The effect of colored materials in the case of dental composite (tooth-colored materials) is greater than ceramic laminate.
• Dental laminates should be replaced if broken.

Teeth bleaching

Teeth may change color for various reasons. If you want to make them brighter and whiter, there are several options to choose from. You can visit your dentist for one of the teeth whitening techniques, such as teeth bleaching, or try home whitening products. Of course, in case of incorrect use of these products, risks such as increased tooth sensitivity or even severe damage to your tooth enamel threaten!

Why teeth may change color and need bleaching?

The main reasons are the following:

• Consuming certain foods and drinks such as coffee and tea that contain pigments.
• Habits such as smoking have a great effect on changing the color or creating stains on the outer part of the teeth.
• Use of special drugs such as iron drops or tetracycline
• Having a disease in childhood such as an infection
• Impact on teeth or aging

In such situation, professional bleaching may be needed to help whiten the teeth.

The purpose of the whitening process is to restore the natural color of the teeth by removing surface stains. In fact, bleaches are cleaning ingredients that are also found in some toothpastes and mouthwashes. While teeth bleaching refers to the process of whitening teeth beyond their natural color.

Materials such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are used as bleaching agents in bleaching. Hydrogen peroxide is usually used for teeth bleaching in the office and carbamide peroxide is used for teeth bleaching at home. After contact with a high concentration of these substances on the tooth, they gradually penetrate into the crystalline structure of the tooth and can oxidize the deposited pigments. As a result, after several sessions of tooth bleaching, the dentine takes on a lighter color.

Types of teeth bleaching

In general, there are two types of teeth bleaching techniques:

Vital bleaching

If the "living" teeth are stained by food or tobacco or darkened according to age, You can use this method to whiten them. Today, teeth bleaching after orthodontics has become very common.

Non-vital teeth bleaching

It is done on teeth that are no longer "living". For example, if your tooth has changed color due to root canal treatment. This type of bleaching can lighten its appearance from the inside out. Basically, at first, the dentist covers the gums and the inner surface of the mouth with a special protective gel. This will help prevent the teeth bleaching material from coming into contact with these areas. Then hydrogen peroxide with a high concentration remains on the teeth for almost an hour. Although some teeth bleaching materials are chemically activated as soon as they come in contact with the teeth. But sometimes heat contact or laser light is needed to start and speed up this process. It is interesting to know that the method of bleaching teeth at home is a little different. First, the dentist molds the teeth in order to make a device called "tri-bleaching". Every night, a person should pour special gel into this transparent device and put it on his teeth. The duration of home bleaching treatment is determined by the dentist.

What is the care after teeth bleaching?

• First wash your gums with warm water and you can gently massage them to avoid pain.
• Stay away from smoking and hookah.
• Brush your teeth twice a day with warm water.
• Avoid drinking soft drinks and colored foods in the first 24 hours after bleaching.
• Avoid drinking liquids such as strong tea, coffee, and if consumed, brush your teeth immediately.
• Avoid eating cold foods.
• Use hypoallergenic toothpaste in the first days after bleaching.
• After teeth bleaching, it is better to use colorless drinks such as milk and water.

Finally, it should be said that one of the methods of whitening yellowed teeth is bleaching, which is done in two ways, at home and in the office. What is important is that this method is not permanent and care must be taken after bleaching to keep the teeth white.
