Why should I have an All Ceramic Dental Crown?

Traditional crowns are made with a metal sub-structure and then porcelain is placed on by a dental lab technician. The metal under the crown can cause irritation to the gum around the crown, the porcelain doesn't look natural like your real teeth because the metal doesn't let light in and the margin around the crown can show through your gums. Technology in dentistry today, lets you as a patient choose to have a ceramic porcelain zirconium, zirconia crown or bridge. The advantages of an all ceramic crown is the material is biocompatible friendly to your body, there is no dark line to worry about showing through your gums and the all ceramic tooth looks natural to your teeth. Light reflexs naturally through the ceramic and gives you a nice life like appearance.

Be careful to not get confused with dental office's offering in house milling machines that grind out a one shade zirconium or zirconia crown. These machines make a nice crown, but if you look in the mirror at your teeth, our teeth aren't just one shade. It takes a dental lab technician layering porcelain on your crown to make it look like your teeth. Fast isn't always best and a nice zirconium or zirconia crown made specific for you is well worth the wait.

Can I Afford Dental Implants?

The question you have to ask yourself is; " I can't afford not to have dental implants"? If you find yourself, faced with a treatment plan from your dentist that includes dental implants and your other options are a bridge without implants, a partial denture or full denture, then it is time to hear the truth about dental implants.

Dental implants replace your missing teeth and help maintain healthy jaw bone. If we dont replace a missing tooth or teeth with an implant the bone that used to be around your missing tooth resorbs away. In fact, as much as 4mm will disapear in the first year, after you lose your tooth or teeth. You may know someone who wears a denture or partial denture and notice that this person looks older than they are. This is why replacing your teeth with dental implants is neccessary to help maintain and stimulate the bone so it doesn't go away. We all want to stay looking young and our face is very important to us. Dental implants will help maintain our quality of life.

If you choose not to replace your missing teeth with dental implants, then you are choosing not to be able to eat the nutritional foods that you have come to enjoy your whole life. Nutrition is very important to living longer, and if we have to modify our diet because we can't eat these foods any longer because we are choosing to wear a denture or partial denture, than this impacts our life in later years. Fact, a denture wearer will live on average 5 years less than a person who has a 4 or more dental implant fixed bridge. Here are some additional benefits to dental implants:

• Maintains healthy jaw bone
• Extends our quality of life
• They are meant to last your lifetime
• Dental implants help keep you young looking
• No denture adhesive
• You can taste your food and eat healthy without limitations
• Most importantly; Dental implants give you your confidence back in social settings

Now that I have convinced you that dental implants are the only option, you want to know how you can afford dental implants? Your dentist has payment plans, banks have no interest credit cards, borrow the money, if you live near a University, see if they have a dental program or clinic, do whatever you can to get dental implants. Overall body wellness begins with your mouth and dental implants will help you maintain your quality of life.

Zygoma Dental Implants by Nobel biocare

Zygoma Dental Implants

In the totally edentulous maxilla when the posterior alveolar crest has resorbed to such an extent that additional implants would otherwise require the support of onlay or inlay grafts. The partially edentulous maxilla with uni- or bilateral loss of premolars, combined with severe bone resorption. In such situations, a Zygoma implant, in combination with at least two regular implants will offer adequate support for a fixed restoration.
