Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection of the gums and supporting bone structure, which if left untreated, can cause permanent jaw bone destruction and possible tooth loss. Untreated periodontal disease has been linked to increased risk for conditions such as heart disease, stroke, low birth weight babies, pre-term delivery, respiratory disease, and prostate cancer. An advanced stage of periodontal disease exhibits inflamed gums pulling away from your bone and teeth. Other signs of periodontal disease include: Bad breath Red or swollen gums Loose teeth or teeth that have moved Sensitive teeth Pus coming from around the teeth Pain when chewing Tender gums Bleeding gums Treatment of early periodontal disease can be performed in-office. However, advanced stages may require surgery. Periodontal disease can be prevented and treated successfully by seeing your dentist and dental hygienist regularly and following recommended care plans.

This is essentially the answer to your question, "do dental implants hurts?" Local anesthesia will numb the nerves surrounding the dental implant area. With numbed nerves, you can expect not to feel any pain during your dental implant procedure. You may feel pressure at times, but it should not cause you discomfort.

Depending on how well you look after your teeth, on average composite bonding lasts 3-8 years. In order to make sure your smile stays beautiful, after your treatment, we recommend you to visit your dentist regularly -every 6 months- to ensure your gums stay healthy.
It is very common for composite bonding to chip or crack due to eating hard foods such a candy or ice. This means that you may have to have repeat treatment to fix the broken parts every now and then.
This is the main reason why veneers are preferred.

The duration depends on the extent of treatment needed and the type of treatment. Some takes as little as 1 visit (1-2 hours) while others may require several visits to achieve the perfect result.

In many cases, implants can be placed and a temporary tooth can be made at the same time as the tooth is removed. In other cases, the implants are placed and have to heal for several months before placing the final tooth. The dental implant proceducre usually takes 3 months for the lower jaw and 6 months for the upper jaw for the implant to fully integrate with your bone. However, everyone heals differentyl, and out team will monitor your progress closely. We are 100% dedicated to the care we provide in our office.
