Have You Been Told You’re Not A Candidate For Dental Implants? Bone Grafting and Dr. Ravi Doctor May Be Your Solution!

Filed under: Implant Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 2:57 am

If you’ve been told that dental implants aren’t for you, a bone grafting procedure may be able to help you. Call Dr. Doctor’s Arlington or Southlake dental office to schedule a consultation visit with us. We serve patients from Arlington, Southlake, and the DFW metroplex.

Strengthen Your Jaw with Bone Grafting from Dr. Doctor

Dental implants are a great restorative option for qualified candidates. They let patients enjoy a strong, functional bite that acts just like a natural smile and can be cared for with regular brushing and flossing.

Not every patient is a candidate for dental implants, though. Which is why, at Dr. Ravi Doctor’s Southlake and Arlington offices, patients who aren’t candidates for dental implants can find hope with a bone graft.

Dental Implants 101: What Are Dental Implants?

Filed under: Implant Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 9:34 pm

Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for restoring a single tooth or an entire smile. They’re made from biocompatible materials, and are able to restore functionality better than other reconstructive solutions, like traditional crowns, bridges, or dentures.

What’s the secret to their success? Well, there’s really no secret at all.

Dental implants come in two parts. The first is the restored tooth (or teeth); the second is the implant post. It’s the implant’s job to act as a replacement root, securing your restoration as firmly as a natural root would. It does this by interacting with your jawbone, stimulating the growth of new bone tissue. Without either a natural root or a replacement root to stimulate new bone growth, that particular part of your jawbone would begin to atrophy, leading to further tooth loss over time as the jawbone weakens.

Hookah Smoking Isn’t an Innocent Activity

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 8:13 pm

Many think of hookah smoking as an innocent activity. Often practiced in restaurants, coffee bars, or other kinds of businesses, it is a fairly harmless thing to do. The tobacco used in hookah smoking even comes in a variety of fruit flavors, making it seem all the more harmless.

But whether it seems like it or not, hookah smoking is still smoking. And smoking is never a good idea.

As Rankin (2011) wrote in a recent Texas Dental Journal article, “At the environmental level, side stream (second hand) smoke from a single hookah session contains approximately four times the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, four times the volatile aldehydes, and thirty times the carbon monoxide of a single cigarette. Exhaled mainstream smoke from a typical one-hour hookah session generate ambient carcinogens and toxicants equivalent to two to ten cigarette smokers” (p. 441-445).
