Take Care of Your Heart!

Trumbull, CT – Dental office – For decades, the American Heart Association (AHA) has recommended that patients with certain heart conditions take antibiotics shortly before dental treatments. This was to prevent bacteria from getting into the bloodstream and traveling to the heart because some people could be affected in they had a condition known as infective endocarditis, an infection of the heart’s inner lining or valves.

Good News! The AHA now recommends that most of these patients no longer need short term antibiotics as a preventative measure before their dental treatment. However, antibiotics before a dental procedure are advised for patients with:

• Artificial heart valves
• A history of infective endocarditis
• Certain specific, serious congenital heart conditions
• A cardiac transplant that develops a problem in a heart valve

Bottom Line: If you or anyone in your family has any medical conditions related to the heart, please tell us when you are making your appointment. Your situation changes between visits and we need to know this for your own protection. We would hate to have you come in for a procedure then we can’t perform it because you’re at risk. Tell your family members and friends as well, that they should always inform their dental offices of health changes.

Ever heard of Dental Implants for $395? Me Either… Don’t Fall For It!

www.comsmeticdentistfairfieldct.com – Fairfield, CT -  While searching the internet, I have noticed several other dental offices advertising Dental Implants at a bargain basement price starting at Only $395.00. Please keep in mind that these dental implants may be sub-standard implants usually imported from China or India. (Hmmm?) Another trick is that these offices are charging for each part of the dental implant…separately! For Example: The Dental Implant is Only $395.00, But Then the Implant screw is another $75.00, then the Abutment is another $195.00, the Placement fee is $1900.00, the crown is $1600.00, et cetera…

This is all a bit misleading to put it nicely and makes me think of a shady used car salesman! Not something you would expect from a reputable dental office!

Understanding the Dental Implants process means that you know it is not inexpensive. Plus the old adage holds true that “you get what you pay for.”

Our office only uses FDA certified, approved and inspected titanium dental implants, which are guaranteed to last you for the rest of your life. The simple truth is that the dental implant process is a complicated and delicate procedure that should be performed by a highly-trained, and respected specialist. Our office handles the restoration process and we utilize and recommend only using specialists in the dental implant field.

We also offer a 5 year guarantee against failure and it is also backed by the companies that manufacture the implants. The old saying, once again is that ”you get what you pay for!”

There are alternatives to dental implants such as Snap-On Smile, Dentures, Bridges and other cosmetic dental procedures. It is always best to discuss these options with your dentist. If you don’t have a dentist or are looking to switch to a new dentist, feel free to call our office at 203-255-5999 and we would be happy to discuss the different options with you. Dr. Mariana Conant practices dentistry in Fairfield, CT and offers General as well as cosmetic dentistry to Connecticut.  She is also a “gentle” dentist and other dentists come to her when they need work done inside their own mouths!

A little more information on dental implants

Dental Implants are always a fabulous way to replace missing teeth and also to provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures.  Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances. With the technology of today’s dentistry, you will be getting the greatest dental implants ever created!

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually made out of titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or specialists of the gums and supporting bone. The teeth are then attached to the implants and they are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile! It is just like having a “smile makeover!”

Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and will last for many years, but on occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.

Reasons for dental implants:

*      Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.

*      Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.

*      Restore a patient’s confident smile.

*      Restore chewing, speech, and digestion to normal.

*      Restore or enhance facial tissues and thus; smiles.

*      Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.

What does getting dental implants involve?

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.

X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months.  Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.

After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor.  Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete.  After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.

You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.
