Getting A Dental Crown

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Pasha Dental Group

If the damage to a patient’s tooth is severe or the decay requires deep repair, then our dentist may recommend getting a dental crown. The process of getting a dental crown involves creating a tooth-like cover made from various materials that envelopes the whole tooth above the gum line. Here at Pasha Dental, we offer a variety of different dental crowns made of Zirconia, Emax, or full porcelain. The full coverage of the crown restores shape, size, and strength while improving the appearance of the tooth. Overall, dental crowns are a prestigious option for repairing severely damaged teeth in addition to helping dental bridges remain in place.

Do I Need A Dental Crown?

In order to determine if a patient requires a dental crown, an initial dental visit for discovery is required. This generally involves taking x-rays, performing a dental cleaning, as well as audit the patient’s mouth. Below are some signs a patient might need a dental crown.

Dental Sealants For Oral Health

Posted on November 10, 2022 by Pasha Dental Group

Aside from regular brushing and flossing, dental sealants for oral health can give you and your family added smile protection. In particular, dental sealants can help keep molars clean and prevent decay from attacking those hard-to-reach areas in teeth cleaning.

What are dental sealants for oral health?

Sealants are a thin protective coating made from dental materials that cover the deep grooves on the surfaces of a patient’s back teeth. Sealants are designed to help prevent the early stages of a cavity from progressing but are not a substitute for daily brushing and flossing. The Centers for Disease Control found that school-aged children benefit significantly from sealants by immensely reducing their risk for cavities. Sealants are a beneficial tool for patients to keep their natural teeth healthy for more extended periods.

Protect Teeth With A Layer Of Dental Sealant

Sealants are most beneficial when used early in a patient’s life. As soon as a patient’s molars appear, sealants can be placed to give an extra coating of protection for a cavity-free mouth in the future. It is best to ask the dentist when it would be best to apply sealants and if you are a good candidate.

Depending on the patients, most sealants last several years. Sealants are checked at each routine exam and may be reapplied as needed.

For more information about how sealants can help preserve the health of your family members’ teeth, please call our office. We look forward to the opportunity to schedule a consultation with you or answer any questions you may have about the process.

Impacted Wisdom Teeth

Posted on September 26, 2022 by Pasha Dental Group

Impacted wisdom teeth occur when your third molars become partially or fully trapped in your gums or jawbone. The treatment solution for impacted wisdom teeth is usually wisdom tooth removal (oral surgery).

How Do I Know If I Have Impacted Wisdom Teeth?

Below are common signs that you may have impacted wisdom teeth. Please contact us if you are experiencing pain or a combination of these symptoms.

Pain or swelling of your jaw or face.
Red, swollen or bleeding gums.
A bad taste in your mouth.
Bad breath (halitosis).
Difficulty opening your mouth all the way.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

The process for wisdom teeth removal is simple and usually performed within one visit. Often, all four wisdom teeth are removed to guarantee the procedure’s success for the patient’s future oral health. The recovery process varies for each patient, but most find they are almost entirely back to normal within a few weeks of the procedure. If patients experience any unusual discomfort or swelling during or after the recovery process, it is vital for them to contact their dentist for immediate attention.

If you would like to learn more about your wisdom teeth removal options in Los Angeles, please call our office to schedule a consultation to get started.

Bridge Dental Work

Posted on September 8, 2022 by Pasha Dental Group

One lasting solution to missing teeth is dental bridge work. A bridge is a dental restoration treatment that literally “bridges the gap” in a patient’s smile. To complete the bridge, dental crowns are placed on both teeth that surround the gap followed by the false tooth positioned in between. Most patients find the natural look and feel of the bridge both restore their oral health and their confidence.

Similar to dental crowns, bridges offer both cosmetic and health benefits. Enhancements include restoring a patient’s smile and ability to speak and chew properly, maintaining the shape of their face, and preventing the remaining teeth from displacement.

Secure Full Mouth Restoration

Posted on August 18, 2022 by Pasha Dental Group

Implant overdentures are a great option for a secure full mouth restoration. Most patients who need dentures to restore their smiles are hesitant to proceed with the process because conventional dentures tend to be uncomfortable or do not stay in place. With implant overdentures, patients can have satisfaction knowing their replacement teeth will securely stay in place while in use.

In addition, implant overtures offer patients a variety of advantages, including:

Easier Cleaning. Since the appliance can be removed, cleaning is much more effective and efficient.
Additional Facial Support. If a patient has experienced significant bone loss, implant overdentures can offer additional facial support where the bone was lost.
Reduced Cost. Overall, implant overdentures cost less than alternative implant procedures making them a suitable option for many patients seeking to enhance their smile.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The implant overdenture procedure is similar to other implant procedures in that it takes multiple steps to assure proper placement, healing, and fit for the patient. The process commonly includes:

The dentist places dental implants into the jawbone followed by a period of healing to allow the bone to grow around the implant creating a strong bond.
To replace the patient’s teeth, a customized set of overdentures are designed and made to fit the shape, and natural appearance of the patient’s teeth.
After healing is complete, the overdentures are placed on the implants creating a strong, non-slip fit.

Implant overdentures are a tooth replacement solution that leaves patients feeling confident, worry-free, and comfortable. To learn more about this revolutionary dental solution, contact your dentist in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills today.
