Fear Free Dental Implants In Shimla

If you have lost a tooth or teeth because of an accident or a result of tooth decay or gum disease, it is imperative that you get it or them replaced. Having a full set of teeth makes eating, drinking and talking so much easier and guards against future oral health problems. For example, teeth can begin to shift in gaps left behind by missing teeth and this alters the shape of the mouth.

There are a number of options to replace lost teeth but a particularly long term solution is the use of dental implants. Dental implants act as a substitute for the lost root of the tooth. Essentially they are sockets which are placed under the gum for a replacement tooth to be screwed into.

X-rays will need to be taken of your mouth and then your dentist will make a small incision in the gum into which the implant will be placed. Implants are always placed tight against the jaw bone so that the titanium with which they are made can fuse with the bone and offer maximum stability to the replacement tooth. This process is known as osseointegration and titanium, lightweight and durable in itself, has been found to be ideal for this purpose.

Modern techniques allow dental implants to be installed quicker than ever and, so secure is the foundation they offer, they can often support a bridge of teeth. The process is not reversible and some people still prefer to sue removable full or partial dentures or to have bridge work anchored to existing teeth but, although invasive, dental implants provide a long-term, stable solution to lost teeth.

Contact your dentist if you think that dental implants might be the answer to your tooth loss problems.

Dental Phobia Explained By Shimla Dentist

Fear can be a very powerful thing. It can make us avoid situations, cause panic and nausea and in some cases cause a complete paralysis. Anyone who has experienced severe fear, or phobia, will tell you how distressing it can be and how much you try to avoid any situation that could cause an adverse reaction. In many cases of phobia, the object in question is easily avoided. Looking after your teeth is important and will hopefully help you avoid any nasty dental complications. But what if you are afraid of the dentist to the point you can’t ever bring yourself to visit for a check up or even more importantly, for treatment?

Dental phobia is a very real and damaging fear that prevents many thousands of people receiving the treatment they need to keep their teeth healthy. But there are ways to successfully overcome dental phobia without resorting to extreme measures. Many dental phobias are caused by past traumatic experiences. In many cases this occurred when the patient was child. It is important to realise that dentistry in the modern world is very different to how it was forty, thirty of even twenty years ago. Modern dentists are more attuned to the fear of many patients. They are specially trained to help patients overcome anxiety and will employ certain methods to help you obtain the treatment you need.

One of the simplest ways to overcome dental phobia is simply to talk to a dentist. This will often help to alleviate certain fears caused by not knowing what treatment involves. Other successful methods include teaching self-relaxation methods such as breathing exercises and also using calming aromatherapy. Ask your Shimla dentist about how you can overcome your fears.You can rest assured that you wont be the first nervous patient they have seen and they will be trained to help you relax and talk you through exactly what might happen during your appointment. Removing the element of the unexpected and knowing what to expect can be very useful to help you assuage your anxieties.

Sedation dentistry can be used on any patient who is anxious about receiving any kind of dental treatment, be it cosmetic or restorative. In some cases this can help the patient to overcome their fears once they realize that there is little or no extended pain involved in the dental procedures. Sedation dentistry can also be used on patients who suffer from very sensitive teeth and find normal treatment very painful. It can also be used for patients who have medical conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Cerebral Palsy.

The three main types of sedation are oral conscious sedation, inhalation sedation and intravenous sedation. Each will be used depending on the conditions and the needs of the patient. The dentist may also use local or general anaesthetic to numb specific areas of the body or mouth.

Dentists also offer relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises and self-hypnosis to help patients conquer their fears. It has also recently been found that aromatherapy, particularly lavender oil, is very good at relaxing people before appointments. Whatever the reason or level of anxiety, there is a way to overcome it and receive the dental treatment that you require.

Dental Implants : May be a solution for you !

There are a number of ways to replace a missing tooth. A dental bridge uses two dental crowns, attached to teeth either side of the vacant space, which act as a support for an artificial tooth. It is also possible to replace missing teeth with partial dentures, but by far the most realistic method of restoring missing teeth is a dental implant.

Dental implants are the only dental substitute to replace the whole of the tooth, including the root. This gives it the extra stability that is sometimes lacking from other restorations. They come in the form of small titanium screws that are drilled directly into the jawbone. They are then left to fuse with the surrounding bone and tissue so that they are extremely firm. The implants then act as a base for a post and crown, which complete the implant procedure.

Single implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth or for patients who have suffered multiple tooth loss and face the possibility of wearing dentures, a series of mini-implants could act as a secure base for a pair of dentures. This alleviates the anxiety suffered by many denture wearers that they are going to fall out at inopportune moments.

Dental implant surgery sounds a lot more unpleasant than it actually is. Although the implant is secured directly into the jawbone, the procedure will be relatively painless. The implant will usually require between four and six weeks to fuse with the other tissue in a process called osseointegration. Once set firm, the dental implant is a permanent addition to the jaw and will last a lifetime. Therefore your dentist may need to examine the condition of your jaw and gums before carrying out implant surgery.For more information call Goma Dental At 177-6450704.

Main reasons For Dental Implant Complications

The endosseous system of dental implants, currently the most popular system used, has been utilized to replace missing teeth for over thirty years. Dental implants are very successful. Dental implants are made of titanium, an inert metal that bonds with the bone and forms a very tight union. Dental implants have a 90% to 95% success rate and once placed and restored, can last for an indefinite amount of time.

Although rare, dental implant complications do occur. If the bond between the dental implant and the bone breaks, or the dental implant itself breaks, it may have to be removed. If so, it may be possible to replace the failed dental implant, either at the same time or after doing a bone grafting procedure.

There are two main reasons for dental implant complications are:

1. Infection of the implant surface can result in disintegration of the bond between the implant and the bone. Eventually, the dental implant may have to be removed. To avoid infection at the time of dental implant placement, sterile operating techniques are recommended and most implant surgeons prescribe antibiotics after surgical implant placement.

The oral bacteria that causes periodontal disease can also affect implants. Around implants, this infection is called peri-implantitis. Just as with the natural teeth, meticulous oral hygiene that includes brushing and flossing, combined with periodic professional cleanings are critical to prevent peri-implantitis.
2. Excessive loading: If the forces on the dental implants are too strong or not in the right direction, the implant components can break or the bond between the implant and the bone can disintegrate. The bite on an dental implant has to be properly designed.

There are certain risk factors that may increase the risk of dental implant complications. Smoking, for example, halves the success rate of dental implants and is the number one risk factor for dental implant complications.

Also, persons that have a diminished healing ability such as people with uncontrolled diabetes may have an increased risk for dental implant complications. Even low sucess rate is registered in patients with bone disorders like osteoporosis.To reduce the risk of dental implant complications, and to prevent serious health complications from surgery, a thorough medical evaluation is required before dental implant treatment.

The success of dental implant treatment is dependent on the expertise of the dental team and the patient's ability to control plaque. With proper dental implant design and follow-up maintenance, you could enjoy the benefits of dental implant treatment for a lifetime. Dental implants are as close to real teeth as are available. Because the root of the implant is secured to the jawbone like a real tooth, it acts and feels like a real tooth. If you have a missing tooth or are looking to replace an earlier dental substitute, make an appointment to see a dentist in Shimla.

Permanent Solution For Tooth Loss - Dental Implants

One of the most exciting advancements in cosmetic dentistry in the past decade has been the introduction of dental implants. Dental implants are an excellent aesthetic option for the replacement of missing or lost teeth. This mode of treatment is indeed more expensive than a conventional denture, but if sufficient bone is present into which the implant can be placed, then dental implants are often the most ideal way to fill a space left by the loss of a tooth/teeth.

There are two stages to dental implants. At first the dental implant post is placed into the jaw by a specialist implant dentist (Periodontist or Oral Surgeon). When the jaw has healed over and the sutures have been removed, then it is possible to attach the man made dental crowns to the implant. These replacement teeth are attached to the dental implant, and are positioned just above the gum like real teeth which gives a beautiful aesthetic natural appearance. Not all patients are suitable for implants. A consultation with a DermaDental dentist along with specialist x-rays will determine a patient's suitability for dental implants.

A dental implant affords the new man made tooth the much needed strength to remain in-situ within the mouth, for a very long time. Dental implants allow patients to live a completely normal life with absolutely no need to worry about dentures falling out of the mouth during eating or talking. Dental implants can also be successfully placed in order to support fixed bridges or dentures, ensuring a very stable result with minimal risk of movement during normal daily function.

Dental implants are as close to real teeth as are available. Because the root of the implant is secured to the jawbone like a real tooth, it acts and feels like a real tooth. If you have a missing tooth or are looking to replace an earlier dental substitute, make an appointment to see a dentist.For more information call Goma Dental at 177-645-0704.

Benefits Of Dental Implants


We recommend dental implants to nearly all of our patients who are missing teeth. There are several reasons for this.

Implants are low-maintenance – You can brush and floss an implant just as you would a natural tooth. No extra tools are necessary.
Implants will not decay – This is also true of dentures and bridges. However, dental bridges are built upon your natural tooth enamel, which will continue to be susceptible to decay.
Implants preserve jawbone structure – A missing tooth will eventually lead to further dental complications. This is inevitable. With no tooth or root to stimulate the surrounding tissue, that surrounding tissue will deteriorate, causing adjacent teeth to shift toward the gap. Implants are the only sure way to maintain your existing jaw structure.
Implants are the most cost-effective solution – The initial cost for a dental implant can be steep. However, the cost of multiple dental visits associated with denture replacements and bridge replacement procedures often exceeds the cost of an implant. We offer a variety of financing options that make the dental implant procedure affordable to nearly everyone.
Eat the foods you enjoy - You will eat lettuce , apples, steak and even corn on the cob with confidence and enjoy flavours of your favorite food with less plastic covering the roof of your mouth.

The sooner you seek treatment for your missing tooth, the better. Just about anyone with one or more missing teeth is a candidate for implants.Unlike traditional treatments of crowns, bridges , root canals and dentures dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth actually mimicking your natural teeth.
A consultation with a qualified implant dentist will be necessary to determine your candidacy. If you live in the Shimla area, please contact Goma dental today to arrange a consultation.
