The Link: Dental Implants - Porcelain Veneers - Invisalign Houston

brian@synergyplaygrounds.com (Dental Implants Houston) — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 10:00:00 +0000

This article highlights a complete smile makeover using cosmetic dental implants, lumineers (a typle of porcelain veneer) and invisalign. Special thanks goes out to the Cosmetic Dental Office of Houston who was gracious enough to share their story with us..

We all know the story already. A patient comes into to see you. They tell you that they want veneers so that they can smile a beautiful, bold, whiter, brighter smile. The only problem is, their bite is off, they have 2 teeth that need to come out and a whole host of additional work just to make a healthy smile. So how do you make this patient happy, and do what's best for their oral health?

11/23/'2008

Easy. You make this patient happy by developing a treatment plan that's centered around your philosophy, not theirs. If they want invisalign and they need it too, perfect. However, if they want this clear braces alternative and they still have restorative work that needs to be done, then I'd say that it is imperative to serve our patients by making it a must that they take care of their clinical needs first.

Advanced Dental Implants Center in Houston Texas

brian@synergyplaygrounds.com (Dental Implants Houston) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:10:01 +0000

The Advanced Dental Implants Center at River Oaks Center for Dentistry in Houston Texas makes state-of-the art all about the patient. The philosophy of this practice is simply "take great care of great people." As such, Dr. Johnson and her associates have developed a palpable culture that embodies the balace of state-of-the art, compassion and world class. There is no doubt that if I lived in Houston, this is the dental practice that I would take my family.

State-of-the art

Implant Dentist, Dr. Barbara Johnson states: "with the ever changes advances in dental technology, we can now see one thousand percent more today than we could yesterday. Since we can see more, we know more and that makes a definitive difference in implant surgery because it has redefined predictability." River Oaks Center for Dentistry (ROCFD) utilizes the most advanced technology available including 3-D conebeam, intra oral film methodology, computer generated surgical guides and comprehensive dental implant systems.

World class

"If technology is as good as the person using is, then the person using it better be world class." - Dr. Johnson. "That's why all of our associates go through advanced training courses on a quarterly basis. A fundamental requirement to practice dentistry here is a commitment to life long learning. Additionally, our multi-disciplinary model was based on creating a team of professionals that would compliment one another. This enables us to be the best in our respective disciplines." Dr. Johnson further explained that she did not develop this philosophy all on her own, she has partnered with the radically different business consuling company Synergy Playgrounds, llc (SP). SP has an interesting approach to consulting as they believe skilled workers should not diversify. They believe in amplifying core competencies and partnering with synergy.

Compassion

This was my favorite attribute about the practice - compassion. From the moment I came through the door, to the time that I walked out, I knew that this was all about me. They have a six sigma protocol that invests in understanding the patient first and foremost. This is the fundamental difference that makes ROCFD special. They care about what matters most to the patient. What's more is that their brand "take great care of great people" is all over the place. This is the look, the feel, the emotional appeal of compassion.

Free dental implants

Once a quarter, ROCFD chooses a less fortunate Houstonian for a full mouth reconstruction.

In conclusion

In conclusion, this Advanced Dental Implants Center in Houston Texas is pioneering a new way to take great care of people - it's about making state-of-the art all about the patient. I have no doubt that this center has become the paradigm to which all other advanced centers for implant dentistry will be compared.

Dental implants are small titanium implants that are anchored to the jawbone. They look, feel and function just like natural teeth, and they are the most advanced method of replacing missing teeth. ROCFD serves Houston and the greater Houston community. Their center also offers cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers, invisalign and orthodontics, lumineers, zoom laser teeth whitening, oral surgery, sedation dentistry, emergency assists, periodontics, root canals and endodontic therapy.

Debunking Dental Implant Marketing

brian@synergyplaygrounds.com (Dental Implants Houston) — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:46:30 +0000

Dental implants are good for all stakeholders: the patient, the practice, the dental implant imaging center and the dental implant companies like Nobel Biocare and SimPlant. The fact is, practices are getting more and more marketing savvy. As Synergy Playgrounds writes:

"Brand value is the worth of your brand in the eyes of the customers. It's a real, tangible, character attribute that says exactly who you are and what makes you different from the other guys. When it's done right, it represents the mission driven differentiation in the services/ products that you offer. It's the reason why a patient that lives and works in Katy or Sugarland choose the implant specialist in Houston to do her $35,000 implant case. It's the reason why she referred her two closest friends to do the same. Brand matters! (click here to read more).

Dental Implants News

by maintain a healthy (http://www.healthordisease.com/2008/10/25/dental-implants-2/)

People lose teeth all the time, either through trauma when teeth are knocked out (athletes such as rugby players, soccer players and boxers commonly experience this) or due to decay, gum disease or old age. Whatever the reason for loosing your teeth they need to be replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons. The most common treatments for missing teeth are either a denture or a fixed bridge. However, dental implants are now becoming a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth as they provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue. What is a dental implantA dental implant is an artificial substitute / replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth and is anchored into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily with bone tissue. During the placement of a dental implant the goal is to achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the surrounding bone tissue so they can fuse together (osseointegration) creating a stable support for the new teeth.

The Implant Procedure

Before any implants are placed it is important for your dentist to assess the health of your teeth and gums, if there are any signs of gum disease or decay these must be treated first. Following this your treatment will be planned following several x-rays and a CT scan in some cases to assess that bone quality and check for nearby anatomical structures to avoid before any drilling. The procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthesia and sometimes IV sedation if it is a long procedure or the patient is very anxious.The gum where the implant is to be placed is cut and lifted and a small hole is drilled in the jawbone at the precise location of the intended implant. The titanium implant is tightly fitted into this socket and the gum is stitched back over the implant. If there is insufficient bone material to accommodate the implant a bone graft may be required or alternatively the dentist may use smaller sized mini implants if suitable. Once the implant has been placed it is left to heal and integrate with the jawbone for between 6 weeks to 6 months. The bone tissue will grow and anchor itself into the microscopic rough surface of the implant. During this healing period patients are given temporary teeth (bridges) or continue to wear dentures. It is important that any temporary teeth do not exert any forces on the healing implant. After the healing period the gum is lifted again and a post is attached to the implant with a temporary crown. Four to six weeks later, when the surrounding gum tissue has matured, the final permanent restoration can be fitted to the implant.

What are the advantages of dental implants over dentures and bridges?

Reduced bone loss. Normally, the bone tissue surrounding the root of your tooth is maintained by your body’s natural renewal process. However, if you loose a tooth, you will be left with a hole where your tooth root used to be and the bone around this area will slowly begin to disappear (atrophy) and may change the shape of your jaw. A dental implant placed in that area can actually stimulate bone growth and production, preventing loss of valuable bone structure. In some patients where bone loss is substantial a bone graft may be required before placing a dental implant. Bone loss is a problem for people who have dentures and as the shape of the jaw slowly changes the dentures need to be adjusted or re-made to fit the new shape of the jaw. Bone loss can also make a person look older since the area around the mouth can sag as bone is lost-
Improved function. Once dental implants are fully integrated into you jaw they function just as well as your own natural teeth and you can eat the foods you want and speak with complete confidence. With dentures, eating hard foods such as an apple can be a problem, either the dentures come loose or patients cannot withstand the hard biting forces as they cause pain in the gums. Irritation and inflammation of the gums is a common problem amongst denture patients. Dentures can be supported by implants or mini-implants which will improve function greatly enabling patients to eat the foods they want with complete confidence and not having to worry about bone loss and loose dentures falling out.
Improved dental hygiene. Unlike bridges and dentures, which require special cleaning instructions and extra attention, dental implants just need regular brushing, flossing and hygiene appointments just like your natural teeth.
No need to drill or remove any healthy tooth structure. When replacing missing teeth with dental bridges, the teeth adjacent to the gap need to be prepared and healthy tooth structure is removed to accommodate a crown or bridge abutment to fit over the top of the tooth. In the future if one of the supporting teeth is damaged the entire bridge restoration will also be compromised whereas with an implant the restoration is independent of any of your other teeth. By replacing lost teeth with an implant, no support is required of the adjacent teeth, and hence your natural teeth do not need to be prepared or altered in any way.
Better aesthetics. If done correctly a dental implant should be indistinguishable from your surrounding natural teeth. Dentures can come loose and look un-natural if they do not blend with your gums and some bridges and dentures have unsightly metal clasps to hold them in place. Dental implants provide a much better cosmetic and functional end result.

How many teeth can a dental implant support?

Traditionally an implant placed into your bone supports a single crown and this is know as a single tooth implant. However if you have several missing teeth you do not necessarily need an implant for every missing tooth, one implant can support several teeth via a bridge or a denture. The number of implants required depends on the volume and density of bone tissue available at each implant site. Often smaller sized mini implants are used to secure dentures in place. In the case of full mouth reconstructions where an arch of several teeth (10+) need to be supported in either the upper or lower jaw a minimum of 5-6 implants in each jaw would be required. The exact number of implants needed would depend on the individual case and your implant surgeon would be able to advise you on the best solution after a through examination and assessment.

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Dental Implants can be placed in patients of any age (with fully developed jawbones) provided that they have sufficient quality and quality of bone tissue available. Most healthy individuals that maintain a good oral hygiene program are suitable candidates for dental implants. Circumstances where implants may not be suitable or situations that have an increased risk of implant failure include:

Heavy smoking this slows down and hinders the healing process
Excessive alcohol intake disrupts healing of the gums
Periodontal gum disease all active gum disease must be treated prior to any implant procedure to ensure long term success of any treatment. Periodontal disease is a major cause of bone loss, which would hinder the success of any implant procedure.
Immuno-compromised individuals (steroids, auto-immune disease, patients undergoing radiation treatment).
Teeth grinders (bruxism) a night time splint can be given to treat this.

How will I know if I have enough bone for implants?

Using a combination of dental X-rays and a CT scan (CBCT or 3-D conebeam imaging) your bone density and volume can be assessed as well as information about nearby anatomical structures to avoid such as nerves.

What if I don’t have enough bone for dental implants?

The alternative options for replacing missing teeth include dentures and bridges. However, there are various bone grafting and tissue regeneration procedures that can be carried out to enable treatment with dental implants:

Sinus augmentation if you need to replace missing teeth at the back of the upper jaw then a sinus augmentation, whereby new bone in the sinus is created can increase the height of the bone available for the placement of implants in this area
Onlay Grafting this is where a piece of bone from somewhere else is taken and it is secured over an area that is deficient in bone, over time the newly placed bone will fuse with the underlying bone creating a better environment for an implant to be placed.

Where can bone be taken from for the graft?

The best source of bone for your graft is your own bone tissue from else where in your body and areas that can be used for bone grafts include the chin, back of the lower jaw, the hip and tibia. Bone taken from your own body offers the most viable and faster healing time when compared to alternatives. In many cases a combination of artificial bone substitutes and your natural bone is used. In any bone grafting procedure the grafted bone provides an anchor and stimulus for the existing bone to grow onto, eventually providing an environment suitable for the placement of implants.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants have been used for over 30 years to replace missing teeth and they can last a lifetime depending upon how you look after them. Like any other restoration your implant-supported teeth can still be damaged by trauma and affected by gum disease and poor oral hygiene.

How much do dental implants cost?

The price of dental implants tends to vary considerably and depends on several factors including the level of skill of the surgeon, the type / quality / brand of implant used, the clinic where the treatment is carried out, the level of aftercare service provided and obviously the amount of work required (i.e bone grafting) and number of implants required. In the UK the costs of a single tooth implant can vary from £800.00 up to £3000.00.

Nobel Guide is a revolutionary treatment planning and surgical implementation system enabling you to transfer extra oral planning into the mouth with unrivalled accuracy and ease. The idea of having great beautiful natural looking working teeth by only attending a few appointments has now become a reality. This procedure is minimally invasive and will get you back in work in no time. With only a few clinics in the uk offering this amazing new treatment this new concept is now available in Bishop Stortford (Houston, Texas and all over the US). This procedure can be used with patient requiring a few teeth to those requiring a full arch reconstruction. The patient initially is sent for a cone beam ct scan of the jaw. This CT scan is a low dose scan and produces files through the jaw. These files are then reconstructed on our software producing a 3-D image allowing our surgeon to place the implants with amazing accuracy. This information is then sent to Sweden where a stent is manufactured. The stent is secured with pins in the mouth and the implants placed using this key hole procedure avoiding the need to cut the tissue to find the bone. The information of were the implants have been planned can also be sent to the laboratory at the same time as sending the information to Sweden. A temporary bridge or even the final bridge can then be screwed onto the implants during the very same visit. This incredible concept means that our patient can come in our clinic and walk out in a hour with secured teeth! This is known as teeth-in-an-hour.

Benefits Accurate Planning : Using the data from the ct scan we can place implants with amazing accuracy utilising all available bone. This means that even the most difficult cases can be treated. Maximum Comfort : This flapless procedure means less swelling and pain with faster recovery Cost Effective : By reducing the number of visit and a faster recovery time means that you don’t have to take more time off then is absolutely necessary. Immediate Function : Our patient can have the surgery and be fully restored with the teeth all in the same visit.

Welcome to Dental Implants Houston - Content That Matters!
The mission of this dental implants houston website is to provide updated, relevent content that matters, enabling well informed people to make well informed treatment decisions about dental implant solutions in houston.

Dental Implants - an introduction
There are several options to replace missing teeth, including traditional porcelain bridges, partial or complete dentures, and dental implants. Dental implants are the easiest and most natural way to replace lost teeth as they look, feel and function just like your own. Dental implant solutions are predictable, functional, and the most aesthetic method of replacing lost teeth today.
People with missing teeth have options - that's a good thing.
The standard of care is a dental implant solution.
Dental Implants - a 50,000 ft overview
Dental implants are small titanium fixtures that serve to replace the root portion of a missing tooth. Provided adequate bone and anatomy is present, dental implants (DI) can be placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and functions as an anchor for the replacement tooth (learn more about the procedure). After the implant "fuses" to the jaw (osseointegration), the crown (abutment) can be placed. As mentioned above, some of the advantages over other treatment options include:
They look, feel and function just like natural teeth
Since they're anchored into the jaw, they provide a non-removable, permanent solution
They preserve bone mass preventing the "sunken face" effect
There is no embarrassing "slippage" nor does it impead one's ability to talk
They are more cost effective in the long run
Dental Implants - in conclusion
As we have the opportunity to become well informed about our treatment options to missing teeth, the overwhelming advanteges of dental implant solutions can not be over looked - dental implants are a healthier (physically and psychologically), more practical, more aesthetic option to replace missing teeth. So at this point you know that anyone who is missing a tooth or teeth, has a bridge, dentures or a partial denture may benefit from a dental implant solution (learn more at the FAQs). So what's next? We recommend looking to our dental implant directory of credentialed centers for implant dentistry throughout houston, katy, the woodlands, sugarland, kingwood, dallas, san antonio, austin and many more.

The Dental Implant Procedure

brian@synergyplaygrounds.com (Dental Implants Houston) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:45:11 +0000

Dental Implant Procedure - Overview

The dental implant procedure is a seven step process that requires a multi-disciplinary approach for optimal outcomes. Keys to achieving >96 percent dental implant success rate is careful pre-implant planning, good diagnostic data (before and after), expectation management and well organized, team coordination. In most cases, patients will be referred to at least one (3-D imaging) or two (dental implant specialist) additional offices. Though this may seem like an inconvenience to some patients, it is well worth it in the end. If at the end of the day, being a VIP is too demanding of your time, you will want to consider an advanced, multi-disciplinary centers for implant dentistry as they can do everything from start finish under one roof (see our directory of credentialed dental implant centers in Houston, New York, Chicago...) .

A general (restorative) or cosmetic dentist may first recommend the implant procedure
3-D imaging (usually off-site) will reveal critical diagnostic data for pre-implant planning
Review the proposed treatment plan for expectation management
Implant dentist, oral surgeon, periodontist or prothodontist will surgically place the implant
A general (restorative) or cosmetic dentist will restore may first recommend the implant procedure
One last 3-D image will definatively reveal an opportunity to correct or a pixel perfect dental implant

Most clinicians agree that the first phase is the most critical, and it requires the most attention - it's the investment. This phase is called the pre-implant planning, or treatment planning phase. Phase two is the surgical placement of the titanium implant into the jawbone so that osseointegration can occur. Phase three is the restorative and cosmetic part - placing the prosthetic implant crown over the implant.

Phase One - Dental Implant Treatment Planning

Phase one is all about what you know - diagnositcs. If the dentist proceeds to phase two without an adequate understanding of the patient, the likelihood of a successful outcome (defined by all stakeholders) is less than ideal. Conversely, when the dentist invests to fully understand the clinical, emotional and financial needs of the patient, good things tend to happen - go figure. As such, a critical piece of this understanding is achieved with a new high tech, 3-D (conebeam) dental implant image. The data gathered from this image facilitates a critical understanding of what can and can't be done. Is there adequate bone or is bone grafting required? Is there adequate space to place an implant or should a mini implant be considered? This high tech 3-D image not only provides invaluable diagnostic data about the case, but is also integrated with an advanced treatment planning software to plan the case. So there you have it... complete diagnostic data - expectation management - 3-D treatment planning - predictible dental implant placements.

it's not who you know, it's what you know
the more you know the better
3-D image technology enables an incredibly precise road map for a predictable outcome
ask your implant dentist for a 3-D image

Phase Two - Placing The Dental Implant

Phase two is all about what you do with what you know (from phase one) - this is the actual placement. Though not all the time, it's common practice for a primary oral healthare provider to refer the patient to an expert at this point. Whether the expert is an implant dentist or an oral surgeon, the dental implant placemet is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation. The 3-D rendered treatment plan enables precise surgical guidance of these titanium implants into into the jawbone so that osseointegration takes place. The time required for osseointegration to take place varies from case to case and implant to implant as there are several options to choose from. Options are good! In most cases, this procedure takes less than an hour and the patient will leave with minimal discomfort.

it's what you do with what you know
if the general (restorative) dentist is not an implant dentist, you may be referred to a specialist
placement is performed under anesthesia
less than an hour
minor discomfort for a couple of days
osseointegration begins (the implant fuses to the jawbone)

Phase Three - Restoring The Dental Implant

Phase three is the process of attaching the new teeth (abutments) to the anchored implants that have "fused" to the jawbone. This is performed by the general, or restorative dentist. This part of the process is fairly straight forward though it may require some fine tuning to achieve aesthetic interests. The time required to restore dental implants is typically less then an hour, and just like after the placement, there can be some minor discomfort for a couple of days. The last and final step is to check the teams work - after all, you paid for it. This requires one more 3-D scan. Though rare, I have found instances where I could take immediate corrective action that would have otherwise resulted in a failed implant. It's the last step... it's quick... it's only a couple hundred dollars... and, it offers peace of mind to everyone.

less than an hour

Why replace missing teeth... with dental implants

brian@synergyplaygrounds.com (Dental Implants Houston) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:00:06 +0000

Why Replace Missing Teeth - dental implants

The answer to the question: "why replace missing teeth," is simply because the deleterious effects of missing teeth are wide spread, and missing teeth can have a detrimental impact on the inter-related relationship of your long term oral, medical, psychological and financial well being.

The Off-bite Relationship

Having gaps where teeth are missing affects the way the jaw closes. The remaining teeth begin to tilt and drift into the gaps, and now food can become trapped in these spaces, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. This tilting and drifting effect also causes problems for opposing and neighboring teeth. An opposing tooth will begin to hyper erupt and drift into the open space of the missing tooth, causing the opposing jaw-line to have bite relationship problems which can lead to serious neuromuscular conditions like TMJ (click here to learn more about TMJ).

Jawbone Deterioration

When a tooth is lost from gum disease, trauma or an extraction, the supporting bone in the jaw begins to dissapear in a biologic process known as resorption. The longer a tooth is missing, the greater the bone loss. This is exatly the reason why missing teeth cause the chin, jaw, cheeks and other facial features to shrink, a characteristic of homeless people. Replacing missing teeth can dramatically improve your smile and preserve the shape of your face.

Over time, resorption of the jawbone has a considerable effect on quality of life and on the possibility of replacing the missing teeth. As teeth are lost it becomes more difficult to eat and chew food. Studies have shown that 29 percent of denture wearers eat only soft or mashed foods and 50 percent avoid many foods altogether. And over time, more and more of the jaw bone disintegrates until it becomes very difficult to place any dental restoration. However, bone grafting may enable dental implants to still be an option in many cases.

Benefits of Replacing a Tooth Immediately

Most oral healthcare providers recommend that a tooth be replaced as soon as possible. The sooner a tooth is replaced, the more likely you will preserve good oral health as a result of preventing bone loss. The presence of teeth do many things: they enable us the ability to enjoy delicioius foods, maintain healthy gum and jaw tissue, and they are a big part of our smile. That's why missing teeth can affect your confidence and well-being.

The Success Rates Dental Implants

brian@synergyplaygrounds.com (Dental Implants Houston) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 00:47:49 +0000

Patients and oral healthcare specialists are choosing dental implants more and more. Today's implants have a success rate of 95-97 percent because of better technology, such as 3-D imaging, advanced treatment planning programs and greater skill sets by implant dentists.

That's not to say the procedure is perfect. Dental Implant failures can occur... (this section is being updated - please check back)
