Release Summary: Whether its teeth whitening, porcelain veneers,
Same Day dental implants or extreme makeovers, cosmetic dentistry
is becoming more popular among people looking to make a few self-improvements.
Press
Release Body: BACKGROUND: About 22 million people in the United
States have dentures or no teeth at all. Dental implants
can offer a welcome alternative for those who want to regain their
smile. The first modern dental implants hit the scene in the 1950s,
and they've improved quite a bit over the years. Dental
implants provide a base for replacement teeth that look
and function like natural teeth. The implants are tiny titanium
posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are
missing. The bone grows to the titanium, creating a strong foundation
for artificial teeth.
According to the American Dental Association, the
number of implants placed by dentists increased 49 percent between
1995 and 1999.
STANDARD
IMPLANTS: Typically, dental implants are done in two surgical
procedures. The dentist will have to refract (peel back) the gum
tissue to see just where the implants will go to avoid sensitive
nerves. When the proper placement is decided, the dentist will then
place the implants into the jawbone. For the first three to six
months following that surgery, the implants, which are just below
the surface of the gums, bond with the jawbone. While the implants
are bonding with the jawbone, new replacement teeth are made by
the dentist. When the implants are fully bonded with the jawbone
(again, a process that takes up to six months), the dentist is ready
to fit the new teeth. The second procedure you undergo includes
uncovering the implants and attaching the posts that act as anchors
for the artificial teeth. The teeth are then attached to those posts.
The entire process takes up to nine months to complete.
 NOW,
FASTER, EASIER IMPLANTS: Now, dentists are offering an
innovative way to give you dental implants and teeth in a one-hour
office visit. At an initial patient visit, doctors take a 3-D image
of the patient's jaw using an iCAT machine. When
used with new computer software, the images show dentists the exact
anatomy of the patient's jaw without ever having to look in the
patient's mouth. Dentists can plan the surgery with pinpoint accuracy
using these images and eliminate any potential problems before the
patient even arrives at the office for the procedure.
Abraham
Ingber, DDS, from The Washington Center for Image Dentistry in Bethesda,
Maryland., says, "The iCAT 3-D
X-rays are like using GPS as opposed to stopping and asking
for directions." The technology eliminates the need for
dentists to refract gum tissue to see the patient's jaw, which is
a painful process. As doctors are planning this "virtual"
surgery, a laboratory molds the replacement teeth. Dr. Ingber
says the implants should last for life, but if the actual
replacement tooth is chipped or cracked, it may need to be replaced
in the future. The surgery is also unique as dentists insert the
implant directly through the gums to anchor it to the bone.
Most
procedures are done by cutting open the gums. No cutting means less
trauma and less pain for the patient. When the patient comes for
their implants, it takes about an hour to insert the implants and
attach the teeth. Dr. Ingber says: "This
is revolutionary. This is one of the most innovative breakthroughs
to come along in dentistry in a long time."
