Multiple Tooth Implant Treatment Single Tooth Implant Placement Tinton Falls, NJ Are you missing more than one tooth? Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can help to replace them. We offer a wide range of dental solutions, including multiple tooth implant treatment, which helps to replace your damaged or lost teeth with natural-looking implants. With these implants, you can be able to enjoy normal oral functions. When Is Multiple Tooth Implant Treatment Necessary? Multiple tooth implant placement is an ideal solution if you have more than one missing tooth. The treatment option can also be recommended when several of your teeth are badly damaged beyond repair – for example, advanced tooth decay in several teeth, damaged tooth due to gum disease, or damaged teeth following a traumatic injury to the mouth. Multiple tooth implant is also a great idea if you do not like wearing dentures or dental bridges – an alternative option for multiple tooth loss. However, it is important to note that multiple tooth implant can only be recommended if you have a healthy and sufficient jawbone and gums. Therefore, if your gums and jaw are damaged, for example, by gum disease or a dental injury, the treatment will not be offered. Luckily, we can offer other treatment options such as jawbone grafting and gum grafting to restore the structure of your jawbone and gums, thus making you qualified for the multiple implant placement. Benefits Of Getting Multiple Dental Implants Multiple tooth implant treatment offers several benefits, which include: • Full restoration of your oral functioning - missing several teeth can greatly affect your oral functioning, making it hard to chew food or even talk. Replacing the lost or damaged teeth with dental implants allows helps to restore the complete functionality of your mouth. • A greatly improved appearance - missing or damaged teeth, especially in the visible parts of your mouth, can affect your appearance greatly. Replacing these teeth with natural-looking and attractive dental implants thus help to improve your appearance, which in turn, boosts your self-confidence. • Stimulation of jawbone growth - your natural teeth provide constant stimulation to the jawbone, thus helping it to regenerate after resorption. Missing several of your teeth can thus result in bone loss. However, getting multiple dental implants helps to prevent the additional loss, as they provide constant stimulation to the bone - just like your natural teeth. • A long-term solution to your dental problems - if your teeth have been damaged by decay, injury, or gum disease, getting multiple implants can provide a lasting solution to the problem. How Are The Dental Implants Placed? The multiple tooth implant process starts with diagnosis, where the condition of the affected teeth is evaluated using dental examination, x-rays, or CT scans. Once it is determined that they cannot be repaired, tooth extraction is used to remove them. After extraction, the condition of the jawbone and the gum tissue is evaluated to determine if they can support the implants. If they are healthy enough, the implants are then placed through surgical insertion. During the surgical procedure, the gum tissue is cut to expose the jawbone, where a hole is drilled for each implant to be inserted. The number of implants placed is dependent on the number of teeth to be replaced, the condition of the jawbone (healthy enough and sufficient space). The treatment plan choice will also determine the number of implants - for example, four implants for All-on-4 dental implants, two or more implants for implant-supported dentures or a single implant for each tooth being replaced. Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is committed to restoring your smile and giving you back your confidence. With multiple tooth implant treatment, you can replace all of your missing or damaged teeth, and be able to smile again.

Periodontal Disease is a common dental health issue, which is characterized by a bacterial infection. The infection starts with the gums, but if untreated, it can spread to other parts of the mouth – namely the jawbone. Periodontal Disease Periodontal Disease Treatment – Regaining Healthy Gums Tinton Falls, NJ Periodontal Disease is a common dental health issue, which is characterized by a bacterial infection. The infection starts with the gums, but if untreated, it can spread to other parts of the mouth – namely the jawbone. Periodontal Disease, while common, is a serious dental condition that can have a huge impact on your oral health as well as your appearance. However, patients suffering from periodontal disease can find respite from various periodontal disease treatments available. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer a wide range of dental solutions, which helps to treat periodontal disease and fix the several dental problems it can cause. Learn More About Periodontal Disease What is Periodontal Disease? Symptoms of periodontal disease Body and Mouth Connection Consequences of Periodontal Disease Periodontal Maintenance Laser Dentistry Pinhole Surgical Technique Gum Recession Treatment Gum Grafting Causes Of Periodontal Disease The bacterial infection that leads to periodontal disease is usually caused by the buildup of oral bacteria in the mouth, as a result of poor oral hygiene. The bacteria interact with food particles stuck in the mouth, producing acids and other toxins that affect the gum tissue, thus causing its inflammation. The inflammation is characterized by swelling, bleeding, and redness of the gums - some of the symptoms of periodontal disease. Constant bad breath is also common due to the toxins created by the bacteria. If the periodontal disease is left untreated, the damage can spread to the jawbone – at which point it transforms to the second stage of the disease, periodontitis. At this stage, the jawbone is infected, leading to bone loss. The damage to the gum tissue also becomes extensive, leading to receding gums, which expose the teeth and can even cause them to fall off. Periodontal Disease Treatment Periodontal disease is treated by controlling the infection (stopping its spread) and fixing the damage caused. The treatment process starts with a dental examination to assess the damage caused to your gums, teeth, and jawbone. Dental x-rays, CT scans, and physical dental examination techniques are used at this stage. Following the assessment, a customized treatment plan is created based on your unique condition. Depending on your situation, the treatment can involve one or a combination of the following solutions: Professional dental cleaning - professional dental cleaning helps to remove the plaque and tartar that has built up on your teeth, thus helping to prevent the production of more acids and toxins. Deep cleaning treatment - if too much plaque and tartar have accumulated - on your teeth as well as below the gumline - deep cleaning treatment can be used to get rid of them. The procedure involves scraping away the dental plaque and tartar on the surface of the teeth and smoothing out the surface of the roots to get rid of the oral bacteria. Use of medication - while dental cleaning and deep cleaning can help to get rid of the oral bacteria, they do not treat the problem. Medications such as antibiotics, enzyme suppressants, and antiseptic are used to get rid of the infection. Surgical treatments - in cases where the disease has advanced, the damage to the gum tissue and the jawbone can be too expensive. Surgical treatments are thus used to fix the damage. Examples of surgical treatment that are used in treating the disease include pocket reduction surgery (to treat receding gums), bone surgery (to reshape an altered jawbone structure), and bone graft and soft tissue graft surgeries to regenerate bone and gum tissue. periodontal disease can cause several problems, including loss of teeth and a damaged facial structure. However, thanks to the solutions offered by Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, you do not have to suffer from these problems.

Tooth extraction can help to solve some dental issues – from stopping the spread of decay to alleviating pain and discomfort. Tooth Socket Graft Tooth Socket Graft Tinton Falls, NJ Tooth extraction can help to solve some dental issues – from stopping the spread of decay to alleviating pain and discomfort. However, when a tooth is extracted, it leaves behind a hole (socket) in the jawbone. Without the stimulation from the tooth, the bone tissue surrounding this socket starts to deteriorate. On top of that, the extraction can cause damage to this surrounding bone tissue - which can also happen if the tooth was infected – leading to further jawbone atrophy. The jawbone loss results in insufficient bone space, making it impossible to insert an implant. Luckily, at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we can help to prevent bone loss by preserving its structure following tooth extraction. We do this by offering you a tooth socket graft procedure. What Is A Tooth Socket Graft? A tooth socket graft is a type of dental bone grafting procedure, which helps to maintain the structure of the jawbone following tooth extraction. The procedure involves placing a graft material in the empty tooth socket, which allows for the growth of new bone tissue. The new tissue, then merges with the existing jawbone, providing sufficient space for future dental implant placement. When Do You Need A Tooth Socket Graft? While a tooth socket graft is usually performed following tooth extraction, it is not a must that you have it. It is only necessary for the following situations: • If you plan on getting delayed dental implants - the procedure might not be necessary if you get same day implants - implants inserted immediately following tooth extraction. Getting a tooth socket graft is also not necessary if you are not planning to get dental implants at any time in the future. • If the bone surrounding the tooth socket is damaged - tooth socket graft is used to promote proper healing of the tooth socket if it was damaged due to decay, infection, or during the extraction process. While getting a tooth socket graft is not necessary, it can help to save you much trouble down the line. Without the procedure, bone loss is almost guaranteed, and this can be problematic if you then decide to get implants at a later time. The deterioration of the jawbone can also affect the adjacent teeth, leading to further tooth damage. What Happens During The Procedure? A tooth socket graft is carried out immediately following tooth extraction. Therefore, it is a simple procedure, which is not invasive in any way – the graft space is created by the removal of the tooth. Immediately following the removal of the tooth, the socket is cleaned up, and graft material is placed inside the tooth socket. To ensure it stays in place, a protective biocompatible material is used to cover it, and then the gum tissue surrounding the site is stitched up. After the procedure, you can expect to experience normal tooth extraction side effects such as pain, bleeding, swelling of the gums (around the extraction site), and irritation. These, however, completely disappear once the wound starts to heal. After the procedure, a few precautions are required to ensure that the graft material is not displaced, and to promote faster healing. These include: • Not touching the wound or applying pressure with your mouth • Avoiding irritation through vigorous brushing or rinsing • Not smoking during the healing period - smoking can lead to dry sockets At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we offer tooth socket grafting, which helps to preserve your jawbone for future dental implant placement.

Research has concluded that there is a strong link between oral health problems like periodontal disease and other illnesses that affect our bodily health.

At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we believe that patient education is the foundation for good oral health. In this case, it can also help you maintain better bodily health too! The following information details the relationship between periodontal (gum) disease and systemic illnesses. Heart Disease And Periodontal Disease If left untreated, a periodontal infection can have serious consequences and can also affect other parts of your body, such as the heart. Studies have shown that periodontal disease can trigger inflammation throughout the body, especially in the circulatory system. The bacteria that causes periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream, resulting in inflammation and arterial plaque formation. Periodontal disease can exacerbate existing heart conditions. People with untreated periodontal disease are at much higher risk of infected heart valves heart attacks and strokes. Diabetes And Periodontal Disease The connection between periodontal disease and diabetes is extremely strong. Periodontal disease has been shown to worsen diabetes and people with diabetes have a much stronger tendency of developing periodontal disease as well. Periodontal disease is an infection caused by our immune system’s response to the harmful bacteria found in plaque. Unfortunately, the toxins our bodies create also produce an infection that can spread to the gum tissue, connective ligaments, and underlying bone. Without treatment, these tissues will begin to deteriorate. People with diabetes have a harder time fighting off this infection due to a compromised immune system. Diabetes strains the immune system, which can lead to periodontal tissues that do not heal as well. Research also suggests that bacteria plaque can induce a greater inflammatory response, making it more difficult for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar. Cancer And Periodontal Disease Research has shown that people with untreated periodontal infections are much more likely to get lung cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, and cancers of the blood. Respiratory Disease And Periodontal Disease Research has shown that pulmonary disease may be the result of bacteria that first develops in the oral cavity. This bacteria can be aspirated into the lungs and cause respiratory illnesses like pneumonia. Alzheimer’s Disease And Periodontal Disease There have been numerous studies linking untreated periodontal disease to Alzheimer’s disease. Schedule Your Appointment Today! Periodontal disease does not usually cause any discomfort and is very often undetected. Early treatment is the key to not only the health of your mouth but to your overall health as well.

Bruxism or tooth grinding and clenching, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems are two dental health issues that can affect anyone. TMJ And Bruxism Problems TMJ And Bruxism Problems Tinton Falls, NJ Bruxism or tooth grinding and clenching, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems are two dental health issues that can affect anyone. However, they are among the most serious dental problems, as they can cause extensive damage to your dental health and quality of life; they usually lead to pain, discomfort, teeth damage and loss, and other dental and overall health problems. Seeking dental care for TMJ and bruxism problems is thus important. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry we offer a wide range of dental solutions which help to manage or treat these conditions. What Is Bruxism? Bruxism is a dental condition that is characterized by grinding or clenching of the teeth. The grinding and clenching are often involuntary, often occurring at night when sleeping. However, the condition can also occur during daytime, when you are mentally preoccupied with other matters. In most patients, the grinding and clenching often go unnoticed, that is until the signs and symptoms start appearing. These symptoms might include: • Increased sensitivity of the teeth • Worn-out teeth (on the top surfaces) • Teeth fractures, cracks, or broken teeth • Discomfort or pain in the jaw Bruxism is often caused by stress and anxiety, but it can also be caused or triggered by other factors such as abnormal bites, sleep disorders, night terrors, and other health disorders. The condition can be quite serious when the grinding and clenching occurs regularly. It can lead to teeth damage, increased stress on the jawbone, bite alignment problems, and is usually characterized by pain in the teeth and jawbone, and severe headaches. What Is TMJ? TMJ is a dental health condition characterized by pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and the muscles that are involved in controlling the jaw movement. TMJ problems occur due to various reasons, which include: • Misalignment of the disks found in the jaw joints • Damage of the cartilage in the joints • Damage of the jaw joint due to increased stress and tension - for example, long time grinding and clenching (bruxism) • Damage to the TMJ following a dental trauma TMJ dysfunction can lead to several dental and overall health problems including pain and swelling around the jaw, pain around and in the ears, severe headaches, problems with opening or closing the mouth, inability to chew, etc. Treatment Options For TMJ And Bruxism Treatments for TMJ and bruxism problems vary from one patient to another, depending on the condition of each person. Several treatment solutions are available, which either help to control (manage) the symptoms, stop the causative factor, or fix the damage causing the problems. Some of these treatment options include: Teeth night guards to ease pain and protect your teeth and jawbone from additional damage. The night guards can sometimes help to stop the grinding • Jaw alignment devices to fix jaw joint misalignment • Bite adjustments to ease the discomfort on the jaw joints • Jaw surgery to fix the issue or repair damage to the jaw Aside from the damage to your teeth and jawbone, TMJ and bruxism problems can cause extreme pain and discomfort that can greatly affect your life. However, you can find relief with solutions from Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry. Call us today at (732) 747-1766 to find out more about these dental conditions and the treatment options that we can offer you.

Crown lengthening (AKA: "crown-elongation" or "crown-extension") is a surgical procedure that is done when the tooth is too short to provide adequate retention for a restoration (usually a crown). Crown Lengthening Dental Crown Lengthening Tinton Falls, NJ Crown lengthening (AKA: "crown-elongation" or "crown-extension") is a surgical procedure that is done when the tooth is too short to provide adequate retention for a restoration (usually a crown). When a tooth has a deep cavity, a crown and buildup are usually needed to restore the tooth. If the cavity extends too far below the gums, it becomes impossible to predictably make a crown that will last for any length of time. Performing crown lengthening where indicated improves the prognosis for the tooth. Crown lengthening nearly always involves removing and recontouring some of the bone around the tooth. This results in more tooth structure above the gums and smooth flowing gum contours. Not every tooth that needs a crown also needs crown lengthening surgery, it is only necessary when a deep cavity or crack is present. Reasons For Crown Lengthening • To be able to keep a tooth that would otherwise be removed • Provide gum contours that make the tooth easy-to-clean again • Improve the appearance of the gum line (in some cases) • Provide a restored tooth that lasts longer What Does Crown Lengthening Involve? First, the dentist or periodontist will thoroughly numb the tooth or teeth needing crown lengthening. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. After the procedure your dentist can now prepare the tooth for a functional, long lasting crown. As always, proper brushing and flossing is key to insuring the maximum life of your new crown. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we are committed to helping you smile proudly by fixing your teeth problems. To this end, we offer you crown lengthening, which restores the functionality of your damaged teeth while giving them a great natural look. Call us today at (732) 747-1766 to schedule an appointment for your crown procedure.
