Dr. Stanell is a highly-skilled dentist offering a wide range of restorative dental treatments, including Dental Implants restoration. She believes dental implants provide the most natural-looking and functioning tooth replacement choice available today in Holicong, PA and surrounding areas..

The need for state of the art tooth replacement options begins with tooth loss. Accident, extensive decay, and congenital defect can compromise tooth structure to the extent that extraction is the only course of action. Additionally, advanced gum disease, or periodontitis, remains the number one cause of tooth loss among American adults, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.

Fortunately, tooth loss-involving one tooth or multiples--does not have to spoil smile aesthetics, facial features, eating or speaking. Dr. Stanellhas the expertise to evaluate prospective implant patients and to place custom-fabricated dental implants and lifelike restorations, such as porcelain crowns, for well-functioning, no-gap smiles.

Sometimes patients require bone grafting from human or animal sources to augment jaw bone weakened by extraction. This relatively quick and comfortable process provides a stable base for in-office insertion of a metal dental implant device.

Composed of titanium, the dental implant screws right into the jaw. Through a process called osseointegration, the dental implant melds with the jaw, providing it with a large measure of strength and density.

After some healing time, the dentist places an extension post on the implant and then a custom-fabricated porcelain crown as the final dental implant restoration. Dental implants and their restorations may be placed singly or in multiples. They also support partial or full dentures for the best fitting, biting and speaking available to the restorative dentistry patient.

Dental implants last for a lifetime, says the Academy of Osseointegration. They do not decay or shift position. The only real threat to their survival is peri-implantitis, a inflammatory and infectious process much like advanced gum disease. Peri-implantitis comes from:

A series of clear plastic aligners are utilized to create tooth movement. Moving teeth with removable aligners is not new. However, the computer program, which can generate a series of aligners with small changes is the new part. Invisalign is recommended for orthodontic situations with mild to moderate spacing or crowding. They are virtually undetectable, easy to use and comfortable to wear.

It is a popular orthodontic treatment that dentists believe can help a significant portion of patients who have relatively minor orthodontic problems. It is a treatment thats available at Laurie Anne Stanell, DMD Buckingham Dentistry Cosmetic, Family, & Dental Sleep Medicine office in Holicong, PA.

Almost everyone wants a perfect, straight and beautiful smile. In fact, A Kelton Global survey discovered that the most positive first impressions occur due to an attractive set of teeth. With Invisalign, crooked or misaligned teeth are straightened using clear plastic trays instead of metal devices. Invisible aligners are as effective as braces in repositioning the teeth to improve the appearance of your smile.

Invisalign aligner trays are designed to gently force your teeth to conform to their shape over a specific period of timeusually six to 12 months. Once the first tray does its job, its time to wear the next onethis process continues every two weeks or so. After your Holicong dentist confirms that the treatment is complete, youll use the final aligner tray as your retainer every night while sleeping.

As mentioned above, one of the main advantages of the Invisalign system is that the trays can be removed for easy cleaning. So please don't neglect to do this! You'll need to brush your teeth after every meal or snack so that food and plaque do not get trapped in the aligners, which could promote tooth decay and gum disease. Your aligners, too, will have to be cleaned regularly; you can do this by brushing them and then rinsing them with lukewarm water.

Also, please keep in mind that while wearing clear aligners is very different from wearing braces, the importance of retaining your post-treatment results is exactly the same. You'll want to be sure to wear your retainer(s) exactly as prescribed after your treatment is completed to protect your investment in a beautiful new smile.
