Denture Options

Posted on January 8, 2022 by Pasha Dental Group

If you’re in the market to restore your smile and have an unhealthy or weak jaw, then you are likely exploring denture options. A type of dentures many find to be beneficial is implant supported dentures. Implant supported dentures are a high-quality choice because they are guaranteed to stay in place, unlike conventional dentures that rest along the gum line. The implants with a special attachment are placed inside a patient’s jawbone, and the dentures snap onto the accessory. Patients find that the dentures insert and remove with ease, they speak clearly and eat more variety of foods, and worth the process it took to get the implant supported dentures.

What to Expect

Initially, the dentist will consult with the patient desiring implant supported dentures. During the consultation, the dentist will review the patient’s medical and dental history and examine the patient’s mouth including x-rays. We desire to ensure a patient’s safety and health before beginning any procedure.

The process for implant supported dentures varies based on the patient but typically requires two surgeries. The first surgery is to insert the implants into a patient’s jawbone. After three to six months, the second surgery is to expose the tops of the implants to support the new dentures. Before surgery, temporary dentures will be made to guarantee proper placement of the implants.

After the area has healed, a bar is placed on the exposed implants to assure best the dentures stay in place. Once each piece is in place, the dentures are inserted. Patients are encouraged to return for a follow-up visit to ensure their implants and dentures are working correctly.

Wisdom Teeth Pain

Posted on November 12, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

If you’re suffering from wisdom teeth pain, you might need wisdom teeth removal. Most candidates for wisdom teeth removal have evidence of pain, infection, gum disease, or tooth decay due to abnormal growth of their wisdom teeth. As a patient ages, it is guaranteed that they will at some point gain their wisdom teeth. For some, this causes no issues and their dental health is never affected, but for others, the growth of their wisdom teeth can cause pain, oral health issues, or result in an altered physical appearance.

Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

The process for wisdom teeth removal is simple and usually performed within one visit. Often, all four wisdom teeth are removed to guarantee the success of the procedure for the future oral health of the patient. 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.

Other Factors To Consider With Wisdom Teeth Pain Due To Growth

When wisdom teeth grow correctly, they greatly aid in chewing. However, if they grow incorrectly, it can lead to a variety of oral complications for dental patients.

Trapped Food

Wisdom teeth that grow incorrectly can cause food to become trapped below the gum line and cause bacteria to grow.

Trouble Flossing

Improperly placed wisdom teeth can make it difficult to floss between molars allowing tarter to build up and plaque to form.

Possible Infection

Partially grown wisdom teeth can create the perfect place for bacteria to form under the gumline and cause infection. There are other adverse effects of incorrect growth of wisdom teeth, but all of the side effects can be prevented through wisdom teeth removal.

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.

Bad Breath Prevention & Treatment

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

With the holiday season and all the events around the corner, bad breath prevention should be at the top of your oral hygiene list. The last thing you want is to attend a holiday party and have to worry about the consequences of halitosis. Bad breath can have causes that aren’t due to underlying disease. Examples include poor dental hygiene, dehydration, or recently eating certain foods like onions or garlic.

How To Prevent Bad Breath

Patients have the opportunity at home to guarantee their breath continues to be bacteria-free and smelling fresh. Brush and floss daily. The easiest way to prevent bad breath is to brush and floss daily properly. This removes tartar and bacteria from the mouth preventing and long-lasting damage.

Brush Your Tongue

As stated before, the tongue collects most of the bacteria that cause bad breath, so regular brushing removes the build-up and lowers bad breath over time.

Avoid Dry Mouth

Keeping adequately hydrated helps promote saliva and in turn, keeps bad breath under control. Get a new toothbrush. Changing your toothbrush every three to four months guarantees the brush is functioning correctly while cleaning your teeth which removes bacteria and lowers bad breath.

Routine Dental Exams

It is essential to visit your dentist for optimal oral health at least twice a year. If you are concerned about the freshness of your breath, contact our office to schedule an appointment in Los Angeles. We look forward to the opportunity to help you achieve fresh breath to better your life.

Evaluation and Treatment

To determine a patient’s bad breath, the dentist will smell both the breath from the mouth and nose then rate the odor on a scale. If it appears a patient’s tongue is the cause of the bad breath, The dentist may also scrape the tongue for an odor rating. After the evaluation, treatment options will be suggested. For most patients, bad breath treatment includes mouth rinse and toothpaste designed to kill bacteria built up in the mouth. For others, a recommendation for periodontal (gum) treatment may be necessary to remove gum disease-causing bad breath. Often bad breath can be lowered or prevented at home. Dr. Nazli Majd aims to make your visit as comfortable as possible, feel free to make an appointment online today.
