Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes cosmetic dentistry from general dentistry practices?
Core Objectives of General Dentistry
General dentistry is fundamentally focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. The primary aim is to ensure optimal oral health through basic dental services such as regular cleanings, examinations, fillings, and root canal therapy. General dentists are your first point of contact for oral health issues, providing essential care that maintains the functionality and health of your mouth.
Enhancements Offered by Cosmetic Dentistry
In contrast, cosmetic dentistry primarily enhances the appearance of a person’s teeth and smile. It includes a variety of aesthetic procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and bonding. These services are often elective and go beyond the basic necessities of maintaining oral health, focusing instead on improving teeth’s colour, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance.
Integration of Services for Comprehensive Care
While general dentistry ensures the health of teeth and gums, preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry complements these efforts by offering advanced treatment options that improve one’s aesthetic appearance. Often, these two fields overlap; for example, a dentist may perform root canal therapy (a general dental service) and subsequently recommend a crown for both protective and cosmetic reasons. Thus, a holistic approach often integrates both general and cosmetic treatments to provide comprehensive care that supports both the health and aesthetics of the patient’s smile. This dual focus ensures that patients not only enjoy good oral health but are also confident in their smiles.
How does one go about getting dental implants?
Initial Evaluation and Planning
The journey towards dental implants commences with a detailed assessment. A professional dentist conducts a comprehensive evaluation, utilising dental X-rays and possibly 3D scans, to assess the health of your jawbone and gums. This preliminary consultation plays a pivotal role in establishing your eligibility for dental implants, taking into account factors like bone density and general oral health. During this phase, your dentist delves into your medical background to identify any conditions that may influence the implant process.
Preparatory Dental Work
Some patients may require preliminary dental work before proceeding with implants. This could include treatments for gum disease to ensure a healthy foundation or bone grafts if there is insufficient bone structure to support the implant. These preparatory steps are vital for ensuring the long-term success of the implants.
Implant Surgery
The actual implant procedure involves dental surgery, where a titanium post is inserted into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. Performed under local anaesthesia, this surgery is meticulously carried out to minimise discomfort. Titanium is selected for its durability and its potential to bond with bone, a process known as osseointegration. This bonding is crucial as it delivers sturdy support for dental restorations.
Osseointegration and Abutment Placement
After the implant is placed, a period of healing is required to allow osseointegration to occur, which can take several months. During this time, the implant fuses with the jawbone, forming a strong and durable foundation for the new tooth. Once healing is confirmed, another minor surgery might be needed to place an abutment, which serves as the connection between the implant and the crown.
Crafting and Fitting Dental Restorations
The subsequent step involves fabricating the dental restoration, which might entail a crown, bridge, or denture. Impressions of your mouth are obtained to uniquely fashion these restorations, ensuring they seamlessly integrate with your existing teeth in both appearance and structure. The fit and appearance of these restorations are critical, as they should not only look natural but also provide functional benefits for chewing and speaking.
Final Adjustments and Aftercare
Once the dental restorations are ready, they are carefully attached to the abutments. This phase may require several visits to fine-tune the placement and ensure optimal comfort and functionality. After the final adjustments, the focus shifts to aftercare, which involves teaching you how to care for your new implants. Regular cleaning and dental check-ups are essential to monitor the implants and manage any issues that might arise.
