#know about single tooth implants

[inkskinned]

so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.

first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.

it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.

and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.

you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.

and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.

your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.

in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.

in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.

so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.

you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.

once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.

and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"

you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?

hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!

you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.

we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

just a quick chapter wip for resistance is futile. not sure of I'm going to keep. let me know what you guys think.

----

He was Ingo, he was a Subway Boss. One of two. He conducted the single lines in gear station, where he would stand and await trainers who completed 20 battles. 

He had silver eyes, and silver hair.

He had a brother, Emmet, they were twins, Identical. Emmet loved winning more than anything and always had a smile on his face. His best friend was Elesa, a supermodel and gym leader. 

He lived in Nimbasa city with his brother and two children.

Not long ago, he had been taken by an alien group known as the Borg, along with several others. They had operated on him, changed him from the outside, and tried to make him one of them.

His body was no longer his own, but his mind was still intact.

But, He was Ingo, He was a Subway Boss, and he wasn't beaten so easily.

—

He was Ingo, He was a Subway Boss, the 10th one to be Assimilated out of 83. 

He had one silver eye and his ocular implant was red. And his hair had long since fallen out.

He had a brother who loved winning more than anything, and was always smiling. They weren’t identical anymore.

Would Emmet even recognize him anymore?

He'd been taken from Nimbasa City three months ago.

Yesterday, he watched as the cube he was on tried to Assimilate a cargo ship they came upon. The crew hit the self-destruction.

There were suddenly ten less voices in Ingo’s head.

But he still wasn't about to give up. He was still a Subway Boss.

—

They were- no, He was Ingo. He was a…a…Drone…no, it was something to do with trains…he was sure of it. And he was The 10th one to be Assimilated out of 83. 

He had a brother…he wore white…was he still smiling?

Today they had been attacked by Klingons. They managed to kill three of them, but now their voices were added to the Collective. Their violent nature tamed by metal and wires.

It was getting harder to fight back, but Ingo was never one to back down from a challenge.

___

He was Ingo, he was a Engineering drone, his designation was 10 of 83.

He didn't remember much from before that, no matter how much he tried.

His mind was starting to uncouple.

Every so often he would recall a man, a human, that used to look like him. But he couldn't get any more than that. But he felt like he was someone who smiled a lot.

He'd been sent to repair the shield emitters during a fight with the Romulans. He had almost finished when they had been struck with disrupters. As luck would have it, he was fine, but his arm was attachment had been severely damaged.

Medical drone 5 of 30 was sent to repair damaged and upgrade hydraulic clamp attached to 10 of 83. 

But what interested him was the drone sent to repair him.

They were young, too young to be a proper drone. 

But they were like him.

They were fighting as well.

A name came to mind when they looked at him. Akari, her name was Akari. And she was fighting this tooth and nail.

And she believed she could get both of them out of this.

She was called away to repair another drone, and Ingo wanted to reach out and stop her. They should stick together. But he couldn't, he didn’t have control over his body.

But if Akari could continue to fight for this long. 

Then Ingo could continue to fight as well.

—

They were 10 of 83. They were an engineering drone.

And they had not seen Akari in days.

They didn’t know what happened to her, they could no longer hear her voice in the collective. She had gone completely silent. And they were worried for her safety.

Had she been taken out in one of the raids?

Had the collective deactivated her?

Or had she fallen and fully joined the collective like so many others?

Maybe she was still out there, and they were simply being blocked from communicating, so she could no longer corrupt them with her sense of independence.

Whatever the case maybe, they just hoped she was safe and managed to get out alive.

Even if they could no longer be saved.

Okay so here is the deal: I wasn’t going to get in to get this actually extracted till the 24th, but, I have been distressed because the antibiotics weren’t reducing the swelling as well as they were supposed to and it was distressing. Thing is, this extraction is on a 3 root tooth, which means it might come out in pieces and it’ll be harder to get out, but it’ll work. They originally said a root canal could fix it, but I said I would rather have a bone graft so I have a possibility of an implant later. So they said they can fit me in today in 3 hours to do the extraction and bone graft.

Now. A bone graft is around 600 and the extraction itself is around 400 and the examination today was around 100. So. That’s a lot of money for out of pocket. And I had to have all of it ready by 4pm. So I started phone calls, I called dad and he said he’d ask grandpa (I would like you to know now that if none of this was possible I would still get the tooth extracted today cause it’s that upsetting to me but the graft for an implant later was the goal here) but with grandpa he couldn’t send money for a few hours and even then he sends through credit union which takes a bit.

So he’s still sending 300 or so because he’s amazing and I love him, but that means that that 300 is going to pay back my gf who is putting down her card to make up the difference here. So I’ve got around 400 in PayPal and maybe 200 in cash and 300 from grandpa, so babe is making up the difference here. Which isn’t too much thankfully.

I just. Needed someone who immediately could help but also trust me to pay back. Either way. God this would be so much easier if I could get on disability already I could save up myself for things like this every couple of months. Ugh.

Anyways. Once more, saying that the emergency will be taken care of but if anyone’s genuinely invested in helping I will accept that, PayPal link in bio in all that, but I also want to be transparent about costs and stuff, and also that if my fics or funny posts can inspire donations I will never turn that down because at least I do something in this world that brings a smile and that makes me so happy, but I also don’t really have much going for me because of disability so it’s nice when I can get help like that. Pretty much everything I have goes to medical or an occasional switch game if it’s cheap enough to justify it lmao I’m not gonna lie about that but I’m still cheap and get them on sale, usually for under 10$.

So like. Writing and crochet and gaming is my life rn and if I can get past some of these issues I got, exercise can be a huge part of my life again, I miss it so much. But constant head infections this year has made me realize that exercise sucks when you feel bad.

So. Um. I love you guys and you all have made this journey so much easier and I’m so happy to have every single one of you. I’m happy that some of you could help and it’s honestly made a massive difference in this whole situation, and, again, not asking because I can scrape by, it’s just, any help you guys give is always appreciated and used to it’s fullest, like now.

Uh. Yeah. I’m still nervous but way less nervous now that I have a plan, and the graft situation was a bonus that is coming to me from family which is so nice of them to help look out for my future here too. Love them.

No one thought anything through at all

Let’s talk about meaningless and badly-written enemies without any purpose in the story and reason to exist in 5 season. These guys get a very least of critisizing simply ‘cause they’re just typical random bounty hunters, which have no connection to Aku, but just want money or whatever. They are at least understandable. Moreover, they are weak third-rate enemies, created for stupid joke.

Scaramouche, being the only assasin who really works on Aku in 5 season (and who kills by own will, not by Aku’s order, by the way), however, is absolutely unnecessary character at all. If you remove him from 5 season, nothing will change. The story will come to exact same events. He is just a waste of time. And I can’t for the life of me understand, why his head was still alive, if all other robots after mutilation, dismembering and decapitating died and explosed. He is not of the same model the robots were in 3 episode of 4 season — because if he were, he would have connected with his body and limbs and reassembled again into one he was before fight against Jack.

Then these guys. Who the f*ck are they?! Are they random bounty hunters? Are they the personal army of the High Priestess, but Ashi somehow didn’t know about it, and they just didn’t recognize Ashi? I have no idea, because neither the animatic nor the final version of 7 episode give absolutely no hints to answers about it! They just happen literally out of nowhere for cheap Lord of Rings reference, for wasting time and forced action scene! Because Genndy and Co apparently don’t understand that the elements, characters and events in the season with limited number of episodes and one cohesive story have to be logically explained and to have the important role in the story! There always must be the conflict behind fight sequences! You can't just take and add random unexplained crap without any personality, motivation, purpose, importance and role in the plot!

Then this sadist. Again, who the f*ck he is?! Is he another random bounty hunter or mad scientist? For what he built his factory in the first place? Like, I get it, he wanted to kill Jack, using Jack’s kindness as his weakness, like Jack will never hurt innocent or whatever, so he destroyed the city (how? alone or with soneone else? then where his allies?), then stole alien cubs and implanted them with chips to use as weapons, but... Do you realize, how forced and stupid this is?  Jack already had a case with hypnotized kids/teens in the classic seasons (from another random alien guy, who used magical music — and although his discs are with Aku’s face, it doesn’t mean that he worked on Aku, who has no reason for doing this), so why this sadist was so sure that Jack will fail and die instead of knocking them out and finding the way to free them?! As I said many times here and here, it’s extremely stupid idea to use some children against the smart and fast-adapting warrior, who slays powerful demons, robots and deities etc. 5 season is extremely pointless and stupid not only because of contradictions to the canon of the classic seasons and breaking their rules (and because of ruining Jack and Aku, of course), but also because there’s no single reason for every of these new enemies to exist in the story of 5 season. More sense just to hide in shadows and to shoot Jack with sniper rifle or laser tooth!

Plus, if you look closer, you’ll notice that he stole these cubs and took them under his control kinda for a couple hours before Jack’s and Ashi’s arrival. It's easier to win the lottery than to make Jack come right now, stumble upon a ruined city, find a temporarily near-dead (or survived, but very injured) inhabitant there and learn from him that these are not robots/demons, but real cubs, who are already controlled by the sound and chips. Very terrible building of the new villain, who died as quickly as he appears in the episode.

But the main issue with this aspect is Jack’s reaction and his immediate decision to die. Like, again, he lives 50+ years in this future, he’s extremely experienced and has to know not only various technologies, but also how to help in such situations (and also to have critical thinking and think everything through in advance). Why he didn’t check their breathing and heart-beating for being sure, whether they died or they are alive?! He had to, in a state of emotional outburst, hold their bodies in his arms and try to awaken them and desperately find the slightest sign that they were alive! Moreover, why this ghost warrior lied to Jack that these children died, if they are alive (here I discussed about this warrior and his gang, which are absolutely real, i.e. not inner demons in Jack’s mind)? Plus, why the hell these alien cubs were electrocuted at all?! Ashi destroyed the computer that controlled chips and hence alien cubs, so logically the computer doesn’t work anymore, i.e. no signal, so the sound and the chips have to just turn off and not affect the alien cubs in any way! Why the chips explosed and hurted them?! WTF?! It makes absolutely no sense! And the most uncomfortable question comes from Ashi’s words from 6 episode “Jack, you were misguided! The children are alive!”, and exactly after them Jack starts to fight the ghost warrior (i.e. not when Ashi mentioned about his friends from this future or about herself, but exactly when she mentioned about these alien cubs) — like, as if they were really dead, then Jack’s decision to die would have been considered as right by this logic... Wait, what?! Then why he didn’t commit seppuku in 1 episode of 5 season, seeing hallucinations of ghosts of dead kids and citizens the robot killed? And how would he then react to half of the survivors and half of the dead alien cubs, or just one survivor among them all? Also would go to commit seppuku? Damn, how forced and stupid it is... No one thought anything through...

And he just forgets and abandons Ashi, the girl he actually took responsibility for. After unconfirmed death of these alien cubs he literally doesn’t care, whether his new young friend is alive or maybe in danger or injured or even dead... And she is lucky enough to actually check and see that the alien cubs are alive. And for some reason Ashi loses all her pathfinder skills she and her sisters had in 2 and 3 episodes and she can not find Jack, who went not so long time ago and not so far from her and obviously left tracks... WTF?! And Jack doesn’t hear her calling for him... WTF?! All should end immediately in the end of 5 episode without 6 episode with this blatant and pointless fanservice and ruined graveyard scene!  If the authors so wanted the idea of Jack’s depression and despair with thoughts about death and with overcoming this and fighting against some ghosts or inner demons, then It would be more emotionally powerful and meaningful, if the blue cubs really died, and in 6 episode Ashi’s message was about “Yes, some people died, but it’s not your fault. You saved many of others, and they still remember you and your kindness. You can not give up. You can not die”.

By the way, in the entire 5 season that’s the only shot, where Ashi looks nice and relatable, and where her face, expressions (with sincere emotions as if she really experienced them instead of being newcomer actress with her first awkward debut) and lips are normal, and she really looks like a child, i.e. 13-16 years old teen.

Now about this pointless bullsh*t in the dumbest episode (well, I’d say that all episodes, except 2 episode, are moronic, but 8 episode is cringiest) of 5 season. The authors no longer hesitate to demonstrate how they throw problems to the heroes without meaning and logical-plot necessity. There was some kind of slab ship in space, a couple of asteroids hit it slightly, and it just ended up falling on Earth in the desert. Might I remind you, in the classic seasons the Earth was patrolled by guardian robots in space, but in 5 season there are absolutely nothing.

No air defense, no patrol robots and ships. Nothing. Moreover, whose ship is this? Why didn't anyone on the planet think to report this to Aku (the brother and sister, whose ship crashed in 8 episode of 4 season, were quickly captured as intruders)? Why (if the prison slab belongs to someone from other planets) nobody contacted to report the crash and pick it up with all potentially survived and escaped prisoners?

And if Genndy and Co didn’t want to use their brains for explaning this, then what’s a point to make it be a space ship prison, damaged and fallen on Earth exactly where Jack and Ashi will walk after couple of hours? What’s a point to show how this space ship happened to be here and to spoil any mystery and unknown threat they can encounter?! Why not to make it just an ancient remains of some relict ship or city, where the deadly monster hides?! Nothing will change, if you either replace it with something else or totally remove this out of the story!

Now Jack and Ashi share a half of near-dead brain cell for two. They get lost in desert and find the place to relax and wait until the sandstorm will calm and stop. 

They climbed into the ship. What the f*ck did they have to climb deep into this ship, if they could relax and sleep near the hole of this ship and wait out the storm there?!

Plus, where the other guard and prisoners? Did they escape? Did Lazarus eat them, since there’s no corpses and bones? Why Lazarus itself didn’t escape from this ship already?

And if there was a weapon, which can kill Lazarus, why the hell the owners of this prison didn’t kill him long time ago, if he’s so deadly and hard to kill?!

Now Demongo, who appeared as a small cameo and fanservice without any story purpose that could excuse his presence in 5 season. My question — how the f*ck is that possible?! Might I remind you, in the classic episode after Demongo failed to kill Jack and to capture his soul and lost all of his other souls, who kicked his butt, Aku killed him! How can Demongo be alive after this and perfectly feel himself without souls?! This poor character was also in the game with even more plot holes toward him. But it’s another story.

And the main sh*t of 5 season, of course, the Cult aka The Daughters of Aku, whose leader/queen is the main f*cking reason of why 5 season even happened. Before 5 season was released, I legitimately thought that they will be the main villains of 5 season, i.e. the deadly enemies for both Jack and Aku. Simply because we have never seen such type of characters before in Samurai Jack universe, especially such cruel and f*cked up character like their fanatical leader. They have to have the backstory and explanation of who they are and where they came from, their leader and her identity, backstory, motivation and goal have to be explained. So it’s logical to assume that they are not what they seem, that they will be the villains of 5 season and the greatest threat for both Jack and Aku. But what we get in 5 season, when it finally was released? They are literally cheap and worse replica of Outsiders from “The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride” with absolutely the same problems (but, at least, the leader of Outsiders had motivation and goal — she was power-hungry manipulator, who used her son as a weapon and a puppet to kill the king and to rule his kingdom, for this she brainwashed her son, feeding him with the idea that he’s the chosen one, who will avenge the rightful king and become king himself). And they give impression of morbid parody toward Aku’s fans, who likes him as a character. And although I duscussed about them here, here and here, analyzing and pointing out everything what’s wrong with them and with the story of 5 season, in this post I’ll talk about problems in exactly building them as some new characters/villains.

Are they some kind of primitive savage tribe or what? Why only women are members of this Cult? Why they have no technologies?! What their leader wanted from Aku? Why she fanatically saw him as virtuous god (and was absolutely okay with child abuse and animal abuse at the same time), if everyone knows that Aku is a fiercy demon, who rules thousands years, who created multi-cultural society and who is a patron of magic and technological progress and never needed these worshippers at all?! Why she created some kind of religion about him with absolutely contradictional doctrines about him being the most evil and the most good god at the same time (she has to be either dumb*ss without any logic or cunning psychopath with own twisted goals who just pretends to believe in this sh*t — and the version with cunning psychopath is more plausible, because she watched on Ashi all this time and saw everything what Ashi saw during her travelling with Jack and rescuing alien cubs and talking with Jack’s friends he helped earlier)?! Why she always hid her face and identity?! Since when the religious motives exist in Samurai Jack universe?! From what dense Middle Ages were these deranged cultists teleported?! Why Jack never heard about them and never saw them? Seriously, they just happen out of nowhere — there were no cults and religious motives in the classic seasons, so they exist 20 years at best! And 5 season gives no information about them!  Instead of normal script writing and character writing, Genndy and Co just add this random creepy bullsh*t, which also raises questions. For example, this WTF-screamer Ashi sees in 4 episode — her mother really talks to her at this moment (and it differs from the scene from 5 episode). So, why Ashi sees exactly that instead of her mother’s regular mask?! Seriously, what the hell is that?! If her mask can turn into this — then why her daughters didn’t use it as weapon?! Or it’s her real face, since we see squinting blue eyes, eyebrows, wrinkles, big mouth with big fangs and red tongue? If yes, then it's scary to imagine how she disfigured her face to look like Aku — for example, filed her teeth for making them sharp (like the Hessian Horseman from Sleepy Hollow did) and cut off her lips. That’s just another bright example of how morbid and f*cked up this character is. 

Plus, it’s extremely hillarious to realize that she and her followers never had thought that while they trained her daughters to be the best assasins for killing Jack all these 20 years (at least, I want to believe that 20 years passed, ‘cause montage of 1 episode of 5 season give impression as if they trained and grew during these few days Jack travelled to the city, destroyed by Scaramouche), Jack could die natural way or be killed by another enemy or by Aku himself. Such an irony of fate would have been — she would certainly have gotten rid of her daughters with her own hands, because they are no longer needed (although she herself went to kill Jack, and she could watch and talk and summon, hence they were not needed before in any way too, then why did she give birth to them at all?). That thought apparently never crossed the mind of this fanatical mother. I’m tired to say that again — but she deserves the Darwin Award.

Or this WTF-moment. Why Jack saw this?! He still dreams about Ikra or what?

No one thought anything through...

Aliens

When I hired my new interns their first assignment was to read all of my old blogs so they would not come to me with repeat ideas. Homeless Henry (see the New Interns from November 21 this year) was the first to approach me. He showed me one I wrote In July 2021 called E.T. I have to admit I have no recollection of writing this but it was there for all to see. I pretended to recall it so I asked him what the problem was.

"It is a guide to what you should do if an alien invasion happens." he said. This vaguely jogged my memory.

"What about it?" I asked while wondering what I was going to have for lunch today.

"Dude, they're already here!"

This made me put aside thoughts of lunch temporarily. Not because I was concerned but rather it was the fact that whatever I decided to have for lunch I was not going to share it, so I humored him until he went away. The following is what we came up with. (By the way, after he left I decided on a sub. It was very good and just enough for one)

Henry claims he knows they are walking amongst us and provided details of what to look for. These are first hand experiences for him. Here are telltale signs you have or are encountering an alien.

If you see an ugly guy and a beautiful woman together as a couple one of them is an alien. Either she is trying to blend in or he has some kind of mind control gizmo he used on her. (Except for my wife and I. Honest.)

Someone all alone talking to themselves with no visible blue tooth in their ear. They have implants and are talking to the mother ship. in hindsight they have been around for a long time living in plain sight in every major city of the world.

Genetic freaks. I have been watching basketball for a long time and when I was growing up there were very few 7 foot tall players. Now they are everywhere. Was Wilt Chamberlain an advanced scout Or Kareem? It also seems like a lot of them come from a single mother so I believe some aliens planted their seed 20-30 years ago and now they are getting ready to take over. With the amount of money being paid to these 'players' they will soon have economic dominion over the rest of us.

People who never seem to age. Think Paul Rudd. If you know someone that looks the same as they did 25 years ago be nice to them as soon they will be in charge.

insatiable appetites. I am not talking people like me who frequent buffets, I am talking about those people you see in eating contests. 79 hotdogs in ten minutes? Come on. No human stomach will be able to hold that much. There is obviously a race of hollow creatures walking the Earth, and winning prizes while they do it.

People with no apparent talent for anything becoming extremely rich for nothing at all. Think Kardashians. It is the only possible explanation

Toll operators at subway stations. Who would want this job? Well aliens that want to count how many of us there are. They used to sit on corners in lawn chairs with a clicker pretending to count traffic. This covers more people.

I am meeting with Henry this afternoon (after my breath has been freshened so he doesn't smell the sub.) We need to determine if we have any of 'THEM' on our team.

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: People speculate there can't be intelligent life out there or else they would reveal themselves to us. I put this question to you: Would you reveal yourself to idiots like humans if you were in their position?

Dental Implants cost in Coimbatore

Find out how much dental implant cost in Coimbatore is at Shaad Aesthetics

Losing a tooth is distressing for both, your appearance and your self-confidence. Dental implants offer the most reliable and permanent solution to replace missing teeth.

Dental implants are titanium roots that can be implanted in the jaw under surgical operations to serve as frameworks in placement of crowns, bridges, or dentures. Basically, these are robust roots for replacement teeth, similar to natural teeth both in appearance and feel. Thus, they precisely suit patients requiring reconstruction of their smiles.

Factors influencing Coimbatore dental implant cost

1. Type of Implant: There are diverse types of implants. These include standard implants, mini-implants, and all-on-four implants. This therefore, postulates something related to cost for the overall procedure. 2. No. of implants required: More implants would require more expenditure. A single implant for a tooth costs considerably less than the full-mouth restoration. 3. Quality of Materials: It is of excellent quality, biocompatible, titanium-based implant applied in Shaad Aesthetics, hence guaranteed long-lasting results. The better the quality materials, the more costly and durable too. 4. Bone Grafting: This would involve inserting a bone graft if there is inadequate bone density in the patient. The additional cost would be due to this procedure as well. 5. Experience of the Dentist: Even the experience of the dentist could impact on the charges: The experts and experienced dentists at Shaad Aesthetics provide accurate and safe implant procedures with very good results.

Typical Cost of Dental Implants at Shaad Aesthetics

Transform Your Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry in Farmington Hills: What You Need to Know

Cosmetic dentistry has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern oral healthcare, focusing on enhancing the aesthetic appearance of teeth, gums, and smiles. For residents of Farmington Hills, this branch of dentistry opens doors to a world of possibilities, allowing individuals to address various dental concerns, from discoloration to misalignment. As we delve into the realm of cosmetic dentistry in Farmington Hills, we will explore its benefits, procedures, and how it can truly transform your smile.

The Importance of a Beautiful Smile

A smile is often the first thing people notice about us. It conveys confidence, warmth, and approachability. Unfortunately, many individuals feel self-conscious about their smiles due to imperfections such as stained teeth, gaps, or misalignments. This discomfort can lead to hesitance in social settings, impacting personal and professional relationships.

In Farmington Hills, cosmetic dentistry serves as a solution to these concerns, offering various treatments designed to enhance one’s smile. The psychological benefits of a beautiful smile are profound; studies show that individuals who invest in their dental aesthetics often experience a boost in self-esteem and overall happiness. With cosmetic dentistry, not only can you improve your appearance, but you can also cultivate a more positive outlook on life.

Understanding Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

The field of cosmetic dentistry encompasses a wide range of procedures, each tailored to meet the specific needs of patients. Understanding these options is crucial for making informed decisions about your dental care.

Teeth Whitening

One of the most sought-after procedures in cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. Over time, our teeth can become stained due to various factors such as diet, tobacco use, and aging. Professional whitening treatments available in Farmington Hills are designed to restore your teeth to their natural brightness, often yielding results that are far superior to over-the-counter products.

The process typically involves applying a bleaching agent to the teeth, which penetrates the enamel and breaks down stains. Results can be seen within a single appointment, providing an instant boost to your smile.

Veneers

For those looking to address multiple issues at once, dental veneers are an excellent option. These thin shells of porcelain or composite resin are custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth, effectively hiding imperfections such as chips, cracks, or gaps.

The application of veneers requires minimal preparation of the tooth structure, and they can last for many years with proper care. In Farmington Hills, skilled cosmetic dentists can help you achieve a flawless smile with this versatile treatment, enhancing both your appearance and confidence.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth can significantly impact not only the aesthetics of your smile but also your oral health. Dental implants offer a permanent solution for replacing lost teeth, providing a strong foundation for artificial teeth that look and function like natural ones.

The procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which serves as the root for the replacement tooth. After a healing period, a crown is attached to the post, completing the restoration. In Farmington Hills, many patients have successfully regained their smiles and functionality through dental implants, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile without hesitation.

Orthodontics

Misaligned teeth can pose challenges beyond aesthetics; they can lead to issues with bite and oral hygiene. Cosmetic dentistry in Farmington Hills offers various orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces and clear aligners, to straighten teeth effectively.

Clear aligners, in particular, have gained popularity due to their discreet nature and comfort. They can be removed for eating and brushing, making them an attractive option for adults looking to enhance their smiles without the inconvenience of traditional braces.

The Role of Technology in Cosmetic Dentistry

Advancements in technology have revolutionized cosmetic dentistry, making procedures more efficient, comfortable, and effective. In Farmington Hills, many dental practices utilize state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to enhance patient experiences and outcomes.

Digital Smile Design

One exciting innovation in cosmetic dentistry is digital smile design. This technology allows dentists to create a virtual mock-up of your smile, enabling you to visualize the potential results before any work is done. This collaborative approach fosters trust and ensures that your expectations align with the proposed treatment plan.

Laser Dentistry

Laser technology has also found its place in cosmetic dentistry, offering a less invasive alternative for various procedures. For instance, laser whitening treatments can achieve remarkable results without the sensitivity often associated with traditional methods. Additionally, lasers can be used for gum contouring, helping to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentist in Farmington Hills

Selecting a cosmetic dentist is a crucial step in your journey toward a transformed smile. In Farmington Hills, it’s essential to consider factors such as experience, qualifications, and patient reviews. A skilled cosmetic dentist will not only possess the technical expertise required for various procedures but also have a keen eye for aesthetics.

It’s advisable to schedule consultations with potential dentists to discuss your goals and concerns. During these visits, observe how comfortable you feel with the dentist and their staff. A positive patient experience can significantly impact your overall satisfaction with the treatment process.

Maintaining Your Smile After Cosmetic Procedures

Once you’ve invested in enhancing your smile through cosmetic dentistry, it’s vital to maintain your results. Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, are essential. Additionally, avoiding habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of staining beverages can prolong the longevity of your results.

In Farmington Hills, many dentists provide personalized aftercare plans, ensuring that patients understand how to care for their newly transformed smiles. With proper maintenance, the benefits of cosmetic dentistry can last for years, contributing to your overall confidence and happiness.

Conclusion: Embrace the Change with Cosmetic Dentistry in Farmington Hills

Cosmetic dentistry in Farmington Hills offers a gateway to a more confident and radiant smile. Whether you’re considering teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, or orthodontic treatments, the transformative power of these procedures can significantly enhance your quality of life. By choosing the right cosmetic dentist and committing to proper aftercare, you can enjoy the benefits of your new smile for years to come.

Investing in your dental aesthetics is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good and embracing the opportunities that come with a confident smile. Don’t hesitate to explore the myriad options available to you in Farmington Hills and take the first step toward a brighter, more beautiful you.

Affordable Dental Implants - Your Path to a Confident Smile

When it comes to dental restoration, dental implants have emerged as a preferred solution for those seeking a long-lasting and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Not only do they enhance your smile, but they also restore functionality, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort. If you're considering dental implants, you might be wondering about the cost and the time involved. Fortunately, Affordable Dental Implants and same-day dental implants are becoming more accessible than ever.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Once the implant fuses with the bone, it provides a stable base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This integration process typically takes several months, but advancements in dental technology have introduced same-day dental implants, allowing patients to leave the clinic with a fully restored smile in just one visit.

The Benefits of Affordable Dental Implants

One of the primary concerns for patients considering dental implants is the cost. However, affordable dental implants are available, making this transformative procedure accessible to a wider audience. Here are some benefits of opting for affordable implants:

Cost-Effective Solution: While the initial investment may seem high, dental implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime with proper care. This longevity makes them a more cost-effective solution compared to other dental restorations that may need frequent replacements.

Improved Quality of Life: Missing teeth can affect your confidence and quality of life. Affordable dental implants can restore your smile and self-esteem, allowing you to interact socially and professionally without hesitation.

Natural Appearance and Function: Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, providing a seamless integration that enhances your overall appearance. You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing that your implants are secure.

Preservation of Jawbone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss. By stimulating the jawbone, they maintain its structure and prevent further dental complications.

Same-Day Dental Implants: Quick and Convenient

For those with busy schedules or who cannot afford a prolonged treatment process, Same Day Dental Implants offer a remarkable solution. Here’s how the process typically works:

Consultation and Planning: Before the procedure, you'll have a thorough consultation where the dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Implant Placement: During the appointment, the dentist will place the implant into the jawbone. With advanced techniques and technology, this can often be completed in a single visit.

Immediate Restoration: After the implant is placed, a temporary crown may be attached, allowing you to leave the office with a functional and aesthetic smile right away.

Follow-Up Care: While same-day implants provide immediate results, ongoing care and follow-up visits will ensure that the implant heals properly and integrates with your jawbone.

Finding the Right Provider

Choosing the right dental center is crucial for a successful implant procedure. Look for a facility that offers affordable dental implants and has a reputation for excellence in same-day implant technology. Online reviews, before-and-after photos, and consultations can help you make an informed decision.

At, Sharma Dental Center we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction. Our experienced team utilizes the latest techniques to provide high-quality, affordable dental implants, ensuring that you receive the best care possible.

What You Need to Know About a Smile Makeover in Essex

In the heart of Essex, the quest for an enchanting smile has become a transformative journey for many. A smile makeover is not just about enhancing your appearance; it’s also about boosting your confidence and revitalizing your overall sense of well-being. This article delves into the essential aspects of smile makeovers in Essex, exploring the various procedures involved, the benefits they offer, and what you can expect during your journey to a radiant smile.

Understanding the Concept of a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover is a comprehensive approach to improving the aesthetics of your smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures. These procedures can range from teeth whitening and veneers to more complex treatments like dental implants and orthodontics. The beauty of a smile makeover lies in its versatility; it’s tailored specifically to meet individual needs and desires.

In Essex, many dental practices offer personalized consultations to assess the condition of your teeth and gums, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan. This plan might include a combination of procedures designed to address various issues such as discoloration, misalignment, gaps, or damage. The aim is not only to beautify your smile but also to ensure that it complements your facial features and aligns with your personal aesthetic.

The Benefits of a Smile Makeover

The benefits of undergoing a smile makeover extend far beyond the superficial enhancement of your teeth. One of the most significant advantages is the boost in self-esteem that often accompanies a more attractive smile. Individuals who have invested in smile makeovers frequently report feeling more confident in social situations, which can positively impact both personal and professional relationships.

Moreover, a well-executed smile makeover can improve oral health. Many procedures involved in a smile makeover, such as orthodontics, can help in aligning teeth properly, which not only enhances appearance but also makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, addressing issues like chipped or missing teeth can prevent further complications, such as tooth decay or gum disease.

The psychological impact of a smile makeover should not be underestimated. A beautiful smile can serve as a powerful tool for self-expression, allowing individuals to convey warmth and approachability. In an age where first impressions matter significantly, a radiant smile can open doors, both socially and professionally.

Common Procedures Involved in a Smile Makeover

When it comes to the procedures involved in a smile makeover, the options are plentiful. One of the most popular treatments is teeth whitening, which can dramatically transform the brightness of your smile. Many dental practices in Essex utilize advanced whitening techniques that can lighten teeth several shades in a single session.

Another common procedure is the application of dental veneers. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They are an excellent solution for those dealing with issues like chips, gaps, or severe discoloration. The process of getting veneers typically involves minimal tooth preparation and can yield stunning results, making them a favored choice among many seeking a smile makeover in essex

Orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces and clear aligners, are also integral components of many smile makeovers. Correctly aligning the teeth not only enhances appearance but also improves bite functionality. For those with more complex dental concerns, dental implants may be recommended. Implants serve as a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

The Consultation Process

Embarking on your smile makeover journey begins with an in-depth consultation. During this initial appointment, your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This evaluation may include X-rays or digital imaging to identify any underlying issues that need addressing.

Following the examination, your dentist will engage in an open dialogue about your desires and expectations. This step is crucial as it helps create a clear vision for your smile makeover. Understanding your personal goals allows the dentist to recommend the most suitable procedures tailored to your unique needs.

In Essex, many dental professionals emphasize the importance of patient education during this stage. They will take the time to explain each procedure, including the benefits, risks, and recovery times, ensuring you feel informed and confident about your choices. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of trust and comfort, paving the way for a successful transformation.

What to Expect During the Treatment

Once your personalized treatment plan is in place, the next step involves scheduling the actual procedures. Depending on the complexity of your smile makeover, this may take place over multiple visits. Each visit will be carefully planned to minimize discomfort and maximize results.

For procedures like teeth whitening, the process is relatively quick and straightforward. However, more extensive treatments such as dental implants may require a longer timeline due to the healing process involved. Throughout your treatment, it’s essential to maintain open communication with your dental team. They will guide you through each step and provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Many patients report a sense of excitement as they see their new smile gradually take shape. This anticipation can be a powerful motivator, making the experience all the more rewarding. The emotional payoff of achieving your desired smile can be life-changing, often leading to newfound confidence and happiness.

Maintaining Your New Smile

After investing time and effort into a smile makeover, it’s vital to prioritize ongoing maintenance to preserve your results. This includes regular dental check-ups and cleanings, as well as adhering to a diligent oral hygiene routine at home. Your dentist will provide tailored advice on how to care for your specific treatments, ensuring longevity and optimal appearance.

Additionally, lifestyle choices play a significant role in maintaining your new smile. Avoiding habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of staining beverages like coffee or red wine can help keep your teeth looking their best. Incorporating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals will also contribute positively to your oral health.

In Essex, many dental practices emphasize the importance of preventive care and education. They offer resources and support to help you maintain your smile long after the makeover is complete. This ongoing relationship with your dental team can be invaluable as you navigate the journey of preserving your beautiful new smile.

Conclusion

A smile makeover in Essex is a transformative experience that goes beyond mere aesthetics. It enhances self-confidence, improves oral health, and provides a significant boost to one’s overall quality of life. With a variety of procedures tailored to individual needs, the journey to a radiant smile is both personal and rewarding.

As you contemplate embarking on this journey, remember that the key to a successful smile makeover lies in careful planning, open communication with your dental team, and a commitment to maintaining your results. With the right approach and a skilled dental professional by your side, you can achieve the smile of your dreams and embrace the world with newfound confidence. Your journey to a stunning smile awaits, and Essex is the perfect place to begin.

Dental Implant Advancements: What Launceston Patients Should Know

In recent years, dental implant technology has made significant advancements, transforming the way missing teeth are restored. For patients in Launceston considering dental implants, these innovations offer more options, greater comfort, and higher success rates. Whether you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or age, understanding these developments can help you make informed decisions about your oral health.

1. Enhanced Implant Materials

One of the most notable advancements in dental implants is the improvement in the materials used. Traditionally, titanium has been the material of choice for dental implants due to its biocompatibility, strength, and ability to fuse with bone (osseointegration). However, advancements in titanium alloy compositions have made implants even more durable and less prone to corrosion.

Additionally, ceramic implants, particularly zirconia, have emerged as an alternative for patients seeking a metal-free option. Zirconia implants are known for their strength, aesthetic appeal, and compatibility with gum tissue. These advancements offer patients in Launceston more choices based on their specific needs and preferences.

2. 3D Imaging and Planning Technology

The use of 3D imaging technology has revolutionized the planning and placement of dental implants. Digital scanning tools like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) allow dentists to create precise 3D models of a patient's jawbone and surrounding structures. This enables more accurate planning of the implant placement, reducing the risk of complications and improving outcomes.

For patients, this means a more personalized treatment plan. Dentists can simulate the implant procedure before the actual surgery, ensuring that the implant is placed in the optimal position for both function and aesthetics. The result is faster recovery times, reduced discomfort, and a better fit for your new tooth.

3. Immediate Load Implants

In the past, patients who received dental implants had to wait several months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone before a crown or bridge could be placed. However, with the development of immediate load implants, this waiting period can be significantly reduced.

Immediate load implants, also known as same-day implants, allow patients to have both the implant and a temporary crown placed during the same appointment. This is a game-changer for Launceston patients who want to restore their smile quickly without multiple visits. While not suitable for every patient, advancements in this area have expanded eligibility, making this option more widely available.

4. Mini Dental Implants

For patients with limited bone density or those who are not candidates for traditional implants, mini dental implants offer a less invasive solution. Mini implants are smaller in diameter and require less bone for placement, making them ideal for patients who may otherwise need bone grafting.

These implants provide a more affordable option while still delivering stability and functionality for patients who need tooth replacement. They can be used for single tooth replacement or to secure dentures, providing flexibility depending on the patient's needs.

5. Guided Implant Surgery

Guided implant surgery is another breakthrough that is enhancing precision in implant placement. Using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology, dentists can create surgical guides that ensure the implant is placed at the exact angle and depth required. This results in fewer complications and faster healing times.

Patients in Launceston benefit from this advanced technology because it reduces the invasiveness of the procedure, minimizes the risk of error, and shortens recovery periods.

Conclusion

For patients in Launceston, the advancements in dental implant technology offer exciting opportunities to restore missing teeth with greater comfort, precision, and longevity. Whether you're considering a single implant or a full mouth restoration, understanding these innovations can help you work with your dentist to choose the best solution for your dental needs.

With options like enhanced materials, immediate load implants, and guided surgery, dental implants are now more accessible and reliable than ever before. Embracing these advancements can help you regain confidence in your smile and enjoy improved oral health for years to come.

Winthrop Harbor, IL ; 8:25 AM

I wanted to start by day but reflecting about yesterday. I’m normally supposed to do this before bed but I always get too tired. But I know how it important is for me to reflect on this process so that I’m continuing to make improvements. The hardest two weeks of the 75 hard are done and now we are at the beginning of the finale two months. So yesterday started great. Even though I didn’t wake up until 10am, I still had a productive morning. I also ate food before I left so I didn’t have to eat out. After a little confusion at the dental office I was discouraged my tooth wouldn’t be pulled that day. But that gives me two weeks to come up with the money for the implant, which is relatively cheaper than expected so I don’t want to miss this deal. I was tired after and kind of wanted to go home even though I had a few errands to run. But sitting in traffic made me more tired even when I tried to continue on with what I was doing. So tip #1 before I go sit in traffic and need a midday reset is to GO FOR A WALK. Walking has so many benefits. A, it’ll give time for traffic to die down, a chance to appreciate the environment, helps mind become productive and back on track but all the same time allows you to decompress for a moment. When I had pulled up to TJ Maxx I knew it was a mistake that I started to get my tweezers out and pluck. I need to avoid that when I have things to do, it throws me off from what focus needs to be had. I also need to go to the synagogue and pray about my xxx problem. It’s crazy how I can forget about it for days but the moment I have a productive and full day, I was to self sabotage. And that’s what I need to start recognizing those things are. Self sabotage and temptation. And with the help of the Holy Spirit I can overcome those things. As much as I wanted to get back on track and go to dance and finish my night at a bar to get some work done. I lazily just went home and went to bed. And that’s what’s important for me to keep the day on track. Don’t let those little temptations steer me off course but if they do, hurry up and get back on. It’s so important for me to finish any extra work I have at the library or at a bar or another space other than my place of rest. And although I didn’t wake up late today, I know it’s important for me to have a good night routine in order for a good nights sleep. It’s starting to hit around 9am and I need to start my day in my bible. I just wanted to get on crystal clear page about how I’m starting today. I’m determined to get the most out of these next two months and really get myself back on track. But focusing on the single days it’s what’s gonna turn into that. So for today, I’m hitting my morning routine. I’m starting back on TikTok and taking over instagram. I will have a meaningful and productive day and finish it strong with some self reflecting. Check back here soon.

All You Need to Know About Dental Implants at Edge Dental Designs

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are advanced, permanent solutions for missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns or bridges. These implants mimic natural teeth in both appearance and function, offering a reliable alternative to dentures and bridges.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Choosing dental implants at Edge Dental Designs can transform your oral health, appearance, and confidence. Here are a few reasons why dental implants are a great option:

1. Durability and Longevity

Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Unlike other tooth replacement options that may need to be replaced every few years, implants offer a permanent solution that can withstand daily wear and tear.

2. Natural Look and Feel

One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is their natural appearance. They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, offering a look that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural smile. The implants also feel like real teeth, providing comfort and ease when chewing or speaking.

3. Preservation of Jawbone Health

When a tooth is missing, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate over time. Implants stimulate the jawbone, much like natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and helping to maintain the structural integrity of your face.

4. Improved Oral Function

With dental implants, you can enjoy better bite strength compared to traditional dentures or bridges. This means you can eat your favorite foods without worry, improving your overall quality of life.

Types of Dental Implants Offered at Edge Dental Designs

At Edge Dental Designs, we provide several types of implants to meet various dental needs.

Single Tooth Implants

If you're missing just one tooth, a single tooth implant is the perfect solution. The titanium post is placed in the space where the missing tooth was, and after the healing process, a custom-made crown is attached. This provides a long-lasting, natural-looking replacement.

Multiple Tooth Implants

For patients missing more than one tooth, multiple tooth implants may be recommended. Instead of replacing each tooth individually, implant-supported bridges can be used. This technique ensures that you have a secure, reliable set of teeth that function just like natural ones.

All-on-4 Implants

The All-on-4 dental implant system is designed for patients who are missing all of their upper or lower teeth. With just four strategically placed implants, a full arch of teeth can be supported, offering a complete restoration of your smile. This method is cost-effective and offers a shorter recovery time compared to traditional implants.

The Dental Implant Procedure at Edge Dental Designs

The process of getting dental implants at Edge Dental Designs is straightforward and carefully designed to ensure the best results.

Initial Consultation

The first step is a consultation with one of our experienced dentists. During this visit, your dentist will assess your oral health, take X-rays and 3D scans to evaluate the condition of your jawbone, and discuss your options.

Implant Placement

Once you've been approved for implants, the next step is the implant placement procedure. The dentist will surgically insert the titanium post into your jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

Healing and Osseointegration

After the implant is placed, a process called osseointegration occurs. This is when the jawbone grows around the implant, integrating it securely. This process typically takes several months, but it's essential for ensuring the strength and stability of your new teeth.

Abutment Placement and Final Restoration

Once the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, an abutment (a small connector) is placed on top of the implant. This will hold the crown or bridge in place. Finally, a custom-made crown is attached, completing your new smile.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

Caring for your implants is much like caring for your natural teeth. Here are some tips to ensure they last a lifetime:

Brush twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush.

Floss daily to remove plaque buildup around the implant.

Schedule regular checkups with your dentist at Edge Dental Designs to monitor the health of your implants.

Avoid hard foods or habits like chewing on ice or biting your nails, which can damage the crowns.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults who are missing teeth and have good oral health are candidates for dental implants. However, certain conditions, such as gum disease or insufficient bone mass, may require additional procedures before implants can be placed. Your dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation during your initial consultation to determine if implants are right for you.

Why Choose Edge Dental Designs for Your Dental Implants?

Choosing Edge Dental Designs for your dental implants means receiving top-quality care from a team of experts. Our state-of-the-art facility offers advanced technology, including digital imaging and 3D scanning, to ensure precision and success.

This guide will delve into everything you need to know about dental implants, including their benefits, the procedure, aftercare, and what to expect throughout the journey.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials, typically titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or shift, dental implants offer a secure, permanent solution that closely mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth.

Types of Dental Implants

There are several types of dental implants available, each designed to address specific needs:

Endosteal Implants: The most common type, these implants are placed directly into the jawbone. They are suitable for most patients and are typically used for single tooth replacements or multiple implants.

Subperiosteal Implants: These implants are placed under the gum but above the jawbone. They are often used for patients who do not have enough healthy jawbone for an endosteal implant and wish to avoid bone grafting.

Zygomatic Implants: A specialized type, zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone (zygoma) instead of the jawbone. They are used for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw and require a skilled surgeon for placement.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages that make them a preferred choice for tooth restoration:

Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence.

Improved Functionality: Dental implants restore full chewing power, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without restriction.

Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.

Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.

No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, which require alteration of neighboring teeth, implants stand alone and do not affect surrounding healthy teeth.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The process of getting dental implants typically involves several stages, which can take several months to complete:

Initial Consultation

The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with a qualified dentist. During this appointment, the dentist will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your medical history. This assessment helps determine whether you are a suitable candidate for implants.

Treatment Planning

If you are a candidate, the dentist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan will outline the specific procedures, expected timelines, and costs involved.

Implant Placement

The next step is the surgical placement of the implant. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation. The dentist will make a small incision in the gum tissue and drill a hole into the jawbone to insert the titanium implant. Once placed, the implant is covered with gum tissue, and the healing process begins.

Healing Period

After the implant is placed, a healing period of several months is required for osseointegration, during which the bone fuses to the implant. This crucial phase ensures that the implant is securely anchored in the jawbone. During this time, you may receive a temporary restoration to maintain function and aesthetics.

Abutment Placement

Once the healing period is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant. This abutment serves as the base for the final restoration. The dentist will make a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the implant, then attach the abutment.

Final Restoration

After the gums have healed around the abutment, the final restoration—a crown, bridge, or denture—is created and placed. The dentist will ensure that the restoration matches your natural teeth in color and shape for a seamless appearance.

Aftercare for Dental Implants

Proper aftercare is essential for the longevity and success of your dental implants. Here are some key aftercare tips:

Maintain Oral Hygiene: A rigorous oral hygiene routine is crucial. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily, paying special attention to the implant site.

Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your dentist to monitor the health of your implants and surrounding teeth. Professional cleanings can help maintain your oral health.

Dietary Considerations: In the initial weeks after surgery, consume soft foods and avoid hard or sticky items that could disrupt healing. Once fully healed, return to your normal diet.

Avoid Tobacco: Smoking can impede the healing process and increase the risk of implant failure. If you smoke, consider seeking help to quit before undergoing the procedure.

Be Aware of Complications: Watch for signs of complications, such as pain, swelling, or infection at the implant site. Contact your dentist immediately if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Costs Associated with Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants can vary significantly based on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and any additional procedures required, such as bone grafting. In Medford, the average cost of a single dental implant can range from $3,000 to $5,000 or more. While dental implants may have a higher upfront cost compared to other tooth replacement options, their longevity and durability often make them a more cost-effective choice in the long run.Many dental practices offer financing options to help make the procedure more affordable. Discuss payment plans and potential insurance coverage during your consultation to find a solution that fits your budget.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

While dental implants offer numerous benefits, they are not suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates typically:

Have one or more missing teeth.

Have sufficient bone density to support the implant or are willing to undergo bone grafting.

Are in good overall health without conditions that could interfere with healing (such as uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune diseases).

Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups.

The best way to determine your candidacy for dental implants is to consult with a qualified dentist who can evaluate your specific situation.

Potential Risks and Complications

Like any surgical procedure, dental implants come with potential risks. These may include:

Infection: Infection can occur at the implant site if proper aftercare is not followed.

Nerve Damage: In rare cases, the implant may affect nearby nerves, leading to pain or numbness.

Sinus Problems: Implants placed in the upper jaw can sometimes protrude into the sinus cavity, causing sinus issues.

Implant Failure: Although rare, implants may fail to fuse with the bone, necessitating removal.

Discuss these risks with your dentist to understand their likelihood and how they can be mitigated.

The Psychological Impact of Dental Implants

Beyond the physical benefits, dental implants can have a profound psychological impact. Many patients report increased confidence and self-esteem after receiving implants. The ability to smile freely and engage socially without the worry of missing teeth can lead to improved overall well-being.Patients often find that their quality of life enhances dramatically after receiving dental implants. They can enjoy their favorite foods without restrictions, speak clearly, and smile confidently in social situations.

Finding the Right Dentist in Medford

Choosing the right dentist is crucial for a successful dental implant procedure. Look for a dentist who specializes in implant dentistry and has a proven track record of success. Schedule consultations with multiple providers to discuss your needs, ask about their experience, and review before-and-after photos of previous patients.

Consider the following factors when selecting a dentist:

Credentials and Training: Verify their qualifications and any specialized training in implant dentistry.

Experience: Ask about their experience with dental implants and the number of procedures they have performed.

Technology: Inquire about the technology and techniques used in their practice, as advanced technology can improve outcomes.

Patient Reviews: Read patient reviews and testimonials to gauge satisfaction and overall experience.
