How can I replace my missing teeth with dental implants?

It’s most likely that you’ve heard of dental implants by now. With dentists now offering the treatment nationwide, it has become fairly common for patients to look into getting dental implants. But, how do dental implants actually work? What will they do? Below we’ve provided some general information, but you can always visit our dental implants FAQs (link here) page for more in-depth information.

Dental implants are fixed teeth that attach to the bone, and have a natural look, function and feel. Dental implants are recommended when a patient has missing teeth due to an accident, disease, trauma or even decay. There is no need for any special type of care for your dental implants as they should be treated just as you would treat the rest of your teeth. Brush and floss regularly while making sure to continue visiting our dentist in Pasadena for routine cleanings and exams.

As dental implants are surgically implanted, they function like regular teeth. After the completion of the procedure, you will be able to eat, chew, speak and smile just as you did before. This is a great solution to recover your winning smile, so visit our dentist today in Pasadena to see if dental implants are right for you!

When should I take my child to the dentist?

As parents, we want our kids to receive the best care possible. This is often when we become their biggest support. If a smile is properly taken care of from birth by wiping gums clean, it is likely that the child will have excellent oral health. It is in the hands of the parents to instill healthy oral care habits for a lifetime of great oral care.

Parents are advised to take their kids to their first dental appointment at around a first birthday. More specifically, you should take your child to visit a dentist six months after the eruption of the first tooth. You should be sure to set the appointment sooner if you see any discoloration or lesions. At your child’s first visit, a check for any possible decay, gums, jaw and bite will be conducted. Parent can also take the advantage to discuss any questions regarding their child’s dental health. The dentist will also give the parents tips on how to care for their children’s teeth. Toddlers should be helped to brush and include this in their bedtime routine to start the habit early for a glowing smile. Routine visits are recommended every six months if no complication is detected.

At Prestige Dental, we promise to provide the best oral care for your child. We have an experienced dental staff that will make your child’s first dental visit a happy memory! Visit us in Pasadena to learn more.
