Dental Implant Treatment Replacing A Single Missing Tooth

Our case of the month for November involves the replacement of a single missing tooth using a dental implant. There are many cases why teeth need to removed and in this case, the reason was due to a failing root canal treatment and infection. After the tooth was removed, healing is essential to allow the infection to resolve and the tissues to heal. The implant was placed with precision using a CBCT scan. Due to the advances in modern technology we can offer a wide range of solutions to restore teeth. Why replace a missing tooth:
 

  1. Function- eat with confidence and spread the force of eating evenly as nature intended
  2. Aesthetics- a full set of teeth is related to beauty and health
  3. Prevent further problems- leaving a gap can lead to movement of teeth, a disruption of the bite, shrinkage of bone and facial profile and makes treatment harder in the longer term


In this case, our patient wished for an all zirconium solution. Please view the pictures below to see how we can predictably replace missing teeth with life like solutions:

Waterlase iPlus Laser Treatment Used For Crown Lengthening

As our name suggests, we are progressive and forward thinking. Time does not stand still and neither does dental technology. After a great deal of thought and research, we have invested in the amazing Waterlase iPlus 2.0 dental laser. This incredible, state of the art technology allows us to perform dentistry that simply was not possible before. For example, crown lengthening.
 

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is often required on heavily broken-down teeth to increase the height of the tooth so that a new crown can be placed. In the past, this treatment involved surgery with the use of a scalpel to cut the gum, a drill to remove bone and stitches to hold the tissue together. The area would then need to left to heal for six weeks prior to starting the crown treatment. Not anymore. The Waterlase iPlus laser allows us to carefully re contour the gum and bone tissue, expose more tooth for the crown and start the crown preparation on the same day. There is minimal bleeding, no need for any cutting, no stitches and minimal pain. The new crown is typically back within 2 weeks ready to fit. Hey presto, new tooth!

Just take a look below at a recent case of a crown lengthening procedure:
