Getting Implant Supported Dentures

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

Getting Implant Supported Dentures

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.

Caring for Implant Supported Dentures

As with any dental device, it is essential for patients to care for their implants and dentures well for them to last long term. Patients are encouraged to remove and clean their dentures and gums nightly. Daily cleaning keeps away disease-causing bacteria and allows the patient to notice any issues that may arise. To find out if implant supported dentures are the perfect fit for you, call our office to schedule a consultation in Los Angeles. We look forward to helping improve your bright and healthy smile.

Natural Look Composite Fillings

Posted on January 1, 2021 by Pasha Dental Group

Never deal with silver fillings with our natural look composite fillings. Advances in modern dental materials and techniques have led to the increased use of composite fillings to keep a patient’s smile looking bright and natural after a cavity. The material used for the composite mixture is tooth-colored and bonds adhesively to a patient’s tooth. A benefit of composite fillings is that they require less of the unhealthy part of the tooth to be removed to seal the tooth.

Once the decay is removed, an adhesive is placed on the tooth followed by thin layers of the composite. Our dentist uses a special light to cure or harden in less than a minute. Though the curing process is short, the overall process for composite fillings may take longer than fillers made from other materials because the tooth needs to be completely dry for the composite to properly bond to it. Patients find the process to be well worth the wait in order to keep a natural and fresh-looking smile.

Patients prefer the natural look and feel of composite fillings that last for an extended period of time; however, composite (tooth-colored) fillings are most beneficial for patients who have experienced minor tooth damage or decay. It is our desire to restore patients teeth with a natural look whenever possible as we understand how a patient’s smile affects his/her life.

Patients are encouraged to brush, floss, and rinse with mouth wash regularly to help prevent cavities over time. Ultimately, the brightest, natural looking smile is a cavity-free smile.

If you feel you may be a candidate for composite (tooth-colored) fillings, please call our office at 310.390.2228 to schedule an appointment. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you with restoring your bright, natural-looking smile for long term oral health.

Benefits Of Teeth Whitening

Posted on December 15, 2020 by Pasha Dental Group

To best understand the benefits of teeth whitening, it is imperative to understand the causes of teeth discoloration. For many patients, brushing and flossing do not help teeth remain bright over time. Other factors can cause teeth to change color including food and drink. Coffee, tea, and red wine are typical causes of teeth discoloration. The intense pigments attach to the enamel causing teeth to darken over time.

Tobacco Use

Tar and nicotine found in tobacco products cause teeth to become stained over long-term use.

Age

Over time, the outer layer (enamel) of teeth gets thinner, and the yellowish inner layer (dentin) becomes more prominent creating a discoloration to the teeth. These are just a few factors that cause teeth to be dull or darken making teeth whitening necessary for many patients in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

The teeth whitening process itself is quite simple

Teeth whitening products contain one or two tooth bleaches that breakdown the tooth stain making it let prominent and brightening the patient’s teeth. There are several tooth whitening options available to help patients attain their best smile. Before whitening, it is best for patients to consult with our dentist about which whitening option is best for them.

Restorative Dentures

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Pasha Dental Group

Often as patients age or possibly experience a dental emergency, dentures are needed to restore their smile and natural appearance. Understanding how to best care for patients’ dental needs in these instances is a top priority for many patients in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. We offer quality dentures to help patients continue to smile with confidence.

There are multiple types of dentures to restore a patient’s radiant smile best. After evaluating a patient’s need for dentures, the dentist will recommend the proper dentures for the patient. Once the dentures are inserted, some patients find it takes a few weeks to get accustomed to the device. Some experience minor irritation or soreness and dentures were feeling loose inside their mouths. These symptoms typically resolve within a few weeks. Follow-up appointments are needed to guarantee proper fitting and to guarantee complications are correctly addressed.

The goal of dentures is not only to restore the cosmetic appearance of a patient’s smile but also by filling out their profile and assuring their natural appearance does not change much. Patients often find it is easier to eat and talk with dentures which is something we usually take for granted. Proper care for their dentures will ensure that the patients will continue to have a positive experience for a lifetime. Patients are encouraged to properly care for their dentures the same way they would their natural teeth.

Dentures require daily brushing to ensure bacteria is appropriately removed. When not in use, it is best to place dentures in a container with water to prevent them from warping. Patients with full dentures should brush their tongue gums also to help prevent gum disease and other complications. If using an adhesive to keep your dentures in place, be sure to use a product with the ADA seal to guarantee safety and effectiveness.

To find out if dentures are right for you, please contact our office to schedule a consultation or ask any questions you may have about the procedure. We look forward to assisting you with restoring your radiant, confident smile and appearance in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

Composite Bonding

Posted on October 31, 2020 by Pasha Dental Group

Composite bonding is a popular smile improvement option for patients who want to improve or change the appearance of their current smile.

What Is Composite Bonding?

Composite bonding is when a layer of dental composite is bound to a patient’s tooth to improve the exterior look of the tooth. This treatment is an excellent choice for younger patients seeking to alter the appearance of their teeth. Since it only lasts about ten years, it is a more affordable first choice for modifying a patient’s teeth. The cosmetic dentist can treat multiple teeth in one visit, and less of the natural tooth needs to be altered making the procedure fast and reasonably priced compared to other procedures.

Before beginning the smile improvement process, patients will consult with their Beverly Hills or Los Angeles dentist to assure which procedure is right for them. We desire to understand best our patient’s smile appearance needs and oral health by giving individual attention to each patient.

Schedule a consultation with us to see if composite bonding is the right smile improvement solution for you. Make an appointment online or call 310.390.2228 today.
