The process is based on a process of integration of titanium or zirconia to the surrounding bone. This allows the new replacement tooth or teeth to have a very strong and stable base, maintaining the surrounding bone. This is the reason why implants give you the comfort, functionality and beauty of healthy teeth. In order to understand how implants work it is important to appreciate the way in which healing takes place. When a tooth is taken out it leaves a hole in the gum which fills up with a blood clot. Within two months the hole in the jaw is covered with gum, slowly over the next six months the bone fills the hole completely. The healing of implants depends on this natural process. Traditional dentistry, which relies on bridges, partial and complete dentures, simply cannot compare to the “good as new” quality that advanced implant technology can give you. Teeth are rarely lost today, because every effort is made to save them. There are a number of reasons why teeth may need to be taken out.• Dental DiseaseWhen very little of the tooth remains because of a lot of decay. For example root filled teeth with failed post crowns or broken teeth.• Gum DiseaseThe supporting bone around the tooth is lost due to pocketing and infection, in some cases even leading to tooth mobility.• Unsuccessful Root canal therapyTeeth that have been root canal treated can be prone to persistent infection resulting in a poor prognosis and are often removed.Implant therapy is the replacement of the root with an artificial root that is made from titanium or zirconia. The procedure can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or all the teeth. <

Air abrasion is a drill-less technique that is being used bysome dentists to remove tooth decay and for other applications. How Does Air Abrasion Work? During air abrasion, an instrument that works like a minisandblaster is used to spray away decay. During air abrasion, a fine stream ofparticles is aimed at the decayed portion of the tooth. These particles aremade of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture and are propelledtoward the tooth surface by compressed air or a gas that runs through thedental handpiece. Small particles of decay on the tooth surface are removed asthe stream of particles strikes them. The particles of decay are then"suctioned" away through a thin tube. Is Air Abrasion Safe? Yes, air abrasion is safe. The only precautions neededbefore air abrasion are protective eye wear (to prevent eye irritation from thespray) and the use of a rubber dam (a rubber sheet that fits around teeth) orprotective resin applied to nearby teeth and gums to protect areas of the mouththat arent being treated. The suctioning of particles also prevents them frombeing breathed into the lungs.  What Are the Advantages of Air Abrasion? Compared with the traditional drilling method, theadvantages of air abrasion are many and include the following: Air abrasion generates no heat, sound, pressure, or vibration.Air abrasion reduces the need for anesthesia, particularly if the cavity is shallow.Air abrasion leaves much more of the healthy tooth tissue behind.Air abrasion leaves the working area relatively dry, which is an advantage during the placement of composite fillings.Air abrasion reduces the risk of fracturing and chipping of the tooth, which some dentists believe can affect the life span of the filling.Air abrasion allows the dentist to treat multiple sites in the mouth durin
