If you are missing one or more teeth, you may want to consider getting permanent teeth implants.

As many of our patients enter their golden-years, it is common for them to explore their health-care options. The reasons for this sudden interest in more advanced procedures is due to having disposable cash, extra time, or because they have been putting off receiving permanent solutions in favor of lower cost (but temporary) “quick fixes” and are finally ready for an upgrade.

Permanent dental implants are one of the most popular treatments in dentistry; and for good reason. They require less maintenance, look better, and will last a lifetime with proper care. But, what are permanent implants for teeth and how do you know if they are right for you?

What are permanent teeth implants?

Dental implants, also known as endosseous implants or “fixtures”, are used to support all manner of dental prosthesis such as dentures, bridges, and crowns. Modern fixtures are made of materials such as Titanium which, over time, fuse with the bones of the patient; thereby becoming (in both form and functionality) a natural part of your body.

Implants are surgically embedded into your jaw bone so they retain a secure anchor. This will ensure that they do not wiggle in your mouth like poorly made dentures, or come lose like a crown may. The surgery involved in the procedure is described as relatively gentle (there are no nerves in the jaw bone) and quick (they can be crafted and rooted within one dentist visit in Westmont ). This aids the success rate of the treatment, which is quite high when compared to other procedures.

Thanks to a secure anchor point keeping them in place in your mouth, and the superior materials used in crafting, implants look and feel like your natural teeth and you can treat them as such! Clean them as you would your original teeth, keep your regular dentist appointments, and there is no reason why your fixtures can’t last over 15 years. If the time does come where your teeth are beginning to become discolored, you simply get the visible portions replaced. No follow up surgery required.

Single implants can be installed to replace an individual tooth, or several can be rooted to support full mouth dentures. It is the versatility of the treatment that makes it a favorite for doctors as well. Fixing many of the visible effects of periodontists and other oral diseases, dental fixtures can provide incredible results within one day.

After receiving your implants, maintenance is fairly simple. Other than regular cleanings and check-ups, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics (just in case) and schedule a few additional appointments to check on the fixtures. Patients have reported some slight jaw pain while healing from the procedure, however that is not common and it typically fades quickly.

Are permanent dental implants right for me?

Do you have any missing teeth?

Are you tired of poorly-fitted denture wiggling in your mouth?

Do you want to spend less time worrying about your mouth and more time living life?

If your answer was ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then permanent dental implants may be right for you. However, only your dentist is truly qualified to give you a definitive answer. If you would like to learn about the long-lasting health options that are available to you, you must contact Celebrity Smiles & General Dentistry.

Having a perfect celebrity smile gives you an immense confidence boost. Here’s how celebrities get their teeth in tip to shape.

Who is your style icon? Most people can rattle off the names of a few celebrities who’s “look” they like, and try to emulate. From clothes, to makeup, to hair-style, people use celebrities as their model for what is “attractive”. However, few people ever notice that the one thing most fashion mavens and ‘A’ list celeb’s have in common … A flawless smile. That is because our stars of stage and screen know that having pearly white teeth speaks volumes about your health and personality.

A glistening grin makes a person approachable and likeable from the moment they step onto the red carpet. You deserve to have the same ability in your everyday life, even if you don’t have the budget of a glitzy Hollywood star. The solution is a professional teeth whitening  treatment at Celebrity Smiles & General Dentistry in Westmont.

Yes, in many cases making your teeth just a couple of shades cleaner makes a huge difference. That is the reason why you can now find hundreds of options for “at-home teeth whitening” kits at your local grocery store. Unfortunately, most home teeth whitening solutions are either temporary or completely ineffective. In order to achieve the proper look for your mouth, and maintain it, there is no other option than using a cosmetic dentist  like Dr. Omar Ali & Dr. Ahmad Ahmad DMD.

Only Cosmetic Dentists Can Give You that Celebrity Smile

Here are the reasons why you need a cosmetic dentist for effective and long-lasting treatment.

Firstly, whitening sensitive teeth is extremely difficult. So, if you already cringe when you take that first sip of orange juice in the morning, the best way to freshen your smile is by a professional. Your doctor will take the extra steps to make sure that you are comfortable. For instance, at our dental office in Westmont Illinois, your pampering begins as soon as you sit in the examination chair. Your choice of music, HD television program, and chair massage setting, are the first order of the day. Dr. Omar Ali & Dr. Ahmad Ahmad will then administer the gentlest exam you have ever experienced.

Secondly, your dentist has access to newer and better medical-grade whitening compounds, so even the most stubborn oral blemishes will disappear. As many customer reviews will attest, the same cannot be said of the “at home” methods. Also, these compounds can be calibrated to your specific needs, because one size does not fit all when it comes to reinvigorating your teeth. This makes the final product sparkling white, but also natural-looking. Your smile should dazzle people, not blind them.

Thirdly, contrary to popular belief, it is usually quicker to get an in-office whitening due to “repeated treatments”. In many cases a full teeth whitening only takes Dr. Omar Ali or Dr. Ahmad Ahmad one hour to complete, and then you are set for months of having an award winning smile. On the other hand, a DIY method may only last a week. In fact, in many cases with store-bought kits, the results may only last a matter of days. This causes most people to continuously reapply the products over and over again. By the end of the first month, patients who chose a professional treatment are smiling a little wider than their at-home counterparts.

Of course, there are hundreds of ways that you can refresh your mouth that can achieve drastic results. However, teeth whitening is by far the most popular due to its: speed, affordability, and comfort.
