Full Mouth Reconstruction in Gainesville GA

January 20, 2012
Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 9:27 am under Dental Implants

Athens Dental Implants Dental techniques and materials have advanced to a point where total and near-total mouth reconstruction is possible right here in the Gainesville GA area.

Unlike conventional removable dentures, extensive mouth reconstruction involves strong, functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth with roots permanently anchored into the jaw bone.

You have probably heard around Gainesville GA about dental implants; the tooth replacement option that is, in most cases, the best possible replacement for a missing tooth. Dental implants have been used in Gainesville GA for many years to replace one or two missing teeth. However, they can also provide a structure for dental crowns, bridges, and anchored dentures that replace nearly every tooth in the mouth!

Every Gainesville GA area smile makeover patient requires a somewhat unique combination of cosmetic dental procedures, but let’s talk about a hypothetical case involving several restorations:

‘Linda’ was a 52 year-old Gainesville GA patient with a mouthful of problems. She was missing most of her back teeth on both her upper and lower arch. Four of her front teeth were chipped and her gums had eroded revealing the metal bases of two old crowns.

To restore a beautiful, strong and youthful-looking smile, she would receive dental implants to anchor partial dentures for her upper and lower back teeth. After soft tissue grafts, her front teeth would receive a combination of porcelain veneers and crowns.

The result? A stunning smile, renewed confidence and no more slipping dentures!

    Attention Gainesville: Replace Your Dental Bridge Before You Lose Teeth

    Attention Gainesville Replace Your Dental Bridge Before You Lose TeethHello Gainesville GA visitors, welcome to Weber Family Dental. Let’s talk about a tooth replacement option common in Gainesville GA: dental bridges.

    While dental bridges have restored smiles for thousands of Gainesville GA restorative dentistry patients, they are not problem free. Many people with dental bridges find it impossible to keep the small areas around the bridge clean. This is not surprising because it is hard to get toothbrush bristles or dental floss under the bridge.

    Of course bacteria has no trouble moving in and taking over without the Gainesville GA dental patient even knowing it. When the decay reaches the roots of the surrounding teeth, it is not only painful, the person is at risk of needing a root canal or even losing those teeth.

    That is one reason why a dental implant is superior to a dental bridge. Most Gainesville, GA people with missing teeth are great candidates for dental implants.

    A dental implant looks just like the beautiful tooth restoration on a high-quality dental bridge, but the important part is what you don’t see.

    A dental implant is screwed directly into the jaw bone. It is not attached to teeth like the dental bridges traditionally used in Gainesville GA. In a way, a dental implant is a more conservative tooth replacement because it leaves the adjacent teeth intact. The bone and gum tissue mesh permanently with the titanium post that serves as the replacement tooth root.

    Dental implants do not have the same decay risk as the teeth that anchor dental bridges. Of course patients with dental implants need to brush and floss, but cleaning a dental implant is usually no more difficult than cleaning a normal tooth.

    Dental implants have a far better track record in Gainesville GA than dental bridges. With proper care, a dental implant can last a lifetime for smile-smart family dentistry patients.

    If you currently have a dental bridge, you might consider permanently replacing it with a dental implant before the adjacent teeth are threatened with decay.

    At Weber Family Dental, dental implants can replace one or more teeth and can also serve as anchors for full or partial dentures. No more embarrassing slipping!

    If you are interested in learning more about dental implants, I invite you to call Weber Family Dental at 678.928.9320. I am Dr. Joseph Weber. Call today to schedule a dental implant consultation. A beautiful new smile can be yours with dental implants.

    Live Better With Dental Implants in Gainesville

    August 5, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 2:04 pm under Dental Implants

    Gainesville Implant Dentistry Ill-fitting dentures cause more problems for Gainesville denture wearers than they solve. If you live with loose dentures, you probably regard them as a necessary evil. Though they certainly look better than a toothless mouth, in practical terms they leave much to be desired because they affect two essential activities: eating and talking.

    Unfortunately, many frustrated Gainesville GA denture wearers have quit dining in restaurants or engaging in social activities because they are afraid their dentures will slip.

    Dental implant procedures at Weber Family Dental in Gainesville are allowing former denture patients to re-engage in life.

    Consider the advantages of implant anchored dentures:

    • They are stable because the implant is anchored in the bone.
    • Your denture is fixed, it will not move around in your mouth.
    • They prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are removed.
    • They eliminate the necessity of regular denture relines.
    • They do not irritate gums.
    • No denture adhesive is required.

    Our Gainesville GA dental implant bone clients who have replaced their traditional dentures with implant overdentures enthusiastically say that the dental implant cost was more than worth it.

    Do you want to eat normally again? What is the value of maintaining your facial shape? Can you put a price on confidence?

    If you want more information about dental implants, call 678.928.9320 to schedule an implant tooth consultation with Joseph Weber. Weber Family Dental is located at 1146 S Enota Dr NE in Gainesville. We have been providing advanced Gainesville GA cosmetic dental care since 1991.

    Because You Deserve a Healthy Smile

    More Valuable Than a Diamond

    May 6, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 1:55 pm under Dental Implants

    “Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond.”
    -Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605

    Gainesville cosmetic dentistry When Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, there was no way to replace teeth that were lost to trauma or decay. We are fortunate to live here in Gainesville at a time where there is a permanent replacement for missing teeth-the amazing dental implant.

    A dental implant, or tooth implant, is anchored into the jaw bone. It does not slide around like a removable denture. It functions just like a natural tooth.

    With a dental implant, you can talk, chew, and brush like normal. Eat that steak. Laugh out loud. Sing at the top of your lungs!

    The dental implant procedure available in Gainesville is not an experimental treatment. Dental implants have been available for many years. You can be sure that the dental implant procedure has been fully tested and tweaked to perfection. The success rate for dental implants in Gainesville is almost one hundred percent.

    If you have a missing tooth and want to get a tooth implant, it is important to choose an experienced Gainesville cosmetic dental specialist to perform your implant procedure. To schedule a dental implant or cosmetic dentistry consultation, call 678.928.9320.

    A Gainesville dental implant is a strong and beautiful tooth replacement that, incidentally, costs much less than a diamond of similar size. (See the quote at the beginning of this article.) To discuss financing options, contact our office.

    At Weber Family Dental, we offer the full spectrum of restorative, cosmetic, and general dentistry services. If you need a gentle family dentist to put your kids at ease or a precision smile design artist, we invite you to meet Dr. Joe Weber, DMD.

    At Weber Family Dental, we are committed to providing superior dental care for patients from 3 to 93.

    Dental Implants In Gainesville

    April 21, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 4:14 pm under Dental Implants

    Cosmetic Dentistry The best permanent tooth replacement treatment available to Gainesville people who are missing teeth are dental implants.

    A dental implant is a metal (ideally titanium) rod implanted into the bone to replace the missing root. The crown and supporting structure are securely and permanently attached to the rod. Titanium is amazingly strong and extremely well tolerated by the human body. There are very few instances of rejection. In fact, most Gainesville implant dentists are not familiar with any such cases.

    Dental implants offer a long-term solution to tooth loss. Are you a good candidate for tooth implant surgery?

    Because the metal rod is anchored into the jaw bone, it is essential that you have enough healthy bone at the implant site. Dr. Joe Weber can determine if you do.

    Age is rarely a factor. Dental implants have proved to be successful for people of all ages in Norcross, Gainesville, and surrounding areas. Dr. Joe Weber provides comprehensive dental care for every member of the family.

    There are a few medical issues that may affect your eligibility for dental implants. These include diabetes, osteoporosis, radiation therapy for cancer, parathyroid disorders, bone disorders and leukemia. The presence of one or more of these conditions does not necessarily mean an implant cannot work for you; discuss any health issues with Dr. Joe Weber during your implant consultation.

    Weber Family Dental is located at 1146 South Enota Drive, Gainesville, GA in Gainesville. Call 678.928.9320 to schedule an implant consultation.

    Weber Family Dental on Jaw Bone Deterioration

    February 4, 2011
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 5:56 pm under Dental Implants

    Gainesville Jaw Bone Deterioration To remain dense, your jaw bone requires the continual stimulation and pressure of chewing, biting and talking. Each of your teeth has a root structure attached to the surrounding bone material. As each tooth absorbs the forces of everyday mouth function, it stimulates the bone to which the root is attached.

    When a tooth is extracted, the jaw bone that previously surrounded the root structure begins to recede. Though tooth extraction is often the only possible treatment for our Gainesville patients with tooth damage beyond repair, every effort should be made to preserve the root structure.

    Fortunately, dental implants provide a new root which keeps the surrounding bone healthy and strong. A dental implant consists of a titanium post which is placed in the jaw bone. It replaces the original root and eventually integrates into the surrounding bone. After the implant has been placed and the surrounding bone has healed and meshed with the implant, a post is inserted into the implant. The new artificial tooth, or dental crown, is then attached to the post. Implant restoration is a safe and effective treatment for tooth loss.

    To learn more about dental implants, call Dr. Joe Weber at 678.928.9320. The friendly professionals at Weber Family Dental in Gainesville provide world-class cosmetic dental treatment for patients in Gainesville GA, Lawrenceville, and the surrounding areas.

    Hate Your Dentures?

    November 11, 2010
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 9:32 am under Dental Implants

    Lawrenceville Dentistry Implant Perhaps you have heard or seen the dental industry’s advertising about dental implants. Most Gainesville dentists claim that dental implant dentures can change your life. Does this sound like hype? Exaggeration?

    Let’s look at the facts about dental implant anchored dentures in Gainesville:

    Chewing: An oral implant denture can restore up to 95 percent of normal chewing function. How important is chewing? Can you chew easily with your current full or partial denture? Can you bite apples? When was the last time you ate a raw carrot?

    Fit: Implant anchored dentures stay in place. An implant denture doesn’t slide around in your mouth and cause sores. Gainesville implant denture wearers who exercise regularly especially appreciate this benefit.

    Appearance: How does your smile look? Can you smile confidently? How many Gainesville denture wearers love their smile? Implant anchored dentures look like natural teeth. They don’t move when you smile, eat, talk, bike, swim, dance, golf, ski; you get the idea.

    Bone health: When teeth are extracted, bone recession can occur over time (in fact, this happens in almost every case). Because a titanium implant is an artificial ‘tooth root’ inserted into your jaw bone, your bone has a better chance of staying healthy. If there are no other adverse conditions present, your jaw bone should remain strong and dense, just as if the original tooth root were there.

    If you hate your dentures and live in the Gainesville area, why don’t you come in for a consultation about dental implants and mini-implants? We can discuss all the particulars including procedure specifics, healing time and dental implant cost. Then you can decide for yourself if implant dentures will, as promised, change your life. We offer sedation dentistry for anxious patients.  We also serve patients in the Lawrenceville, Norcross, and Athena areas.

    Save Money With Dental Implants at Weber Family Dental

    Lawrenceville Tooth Implants

    Q: When is the least expensive tooth replacement method really the most expensive?

    A: When it ends up costing far more in the long run.

    Many Gainesville dentistry clients who lose a tooth do not understand the importance of replacing it with a dental implant. They wrongly believe that one missing tooth is not a significant problem. In fact, some Gainesville people who have an abscessed tooth extracted are so glad the pain is gone that they forget that the extraction is not the solution. When a tooth is lost, the risk of losing the adjacent teeth increases dramatically.

    Dr. David Scharf, a Board Certified Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon and a Clinical Assistant Professor at New York University College of Dentistry says:

    “Many times consumers will choose to replace a missing tooth with removable partial dentures because it is the least expensive option. In the long run however, removable partial dentures may be more costly due the loss of adjacent teeth and the need for future replacements. Many people opt to replace teeth with dental implants because they do not compromise the survival of the adjacent teeth.”

    Dr. Scharf notes…

    “With the price of gasoline and food soaring people try to cut back wherever they can. Unfortunately choosing the least expensive options for tooth replacement can have some very costly ramifications down the road.”

    If you are missing a tooth, you may still be able to save the adjacent teeth if receive dental implants soon. An implant bonds chemically with the jaw bone and helps maintain its stability.

    Common Myths about Gainesville Family Cosmetic Dentistry

    May 17, 2010
    Posted by Dr. Joseph Weber — @ 7:30 pm under Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants, Porcelain Veneers, Teeth Whitening

    Common Myths about Gainesville Family Cosmetic Dentistry Myth #1: Cosmetic Dentistry is Never Necessary for a Healthy Smile

    Many so-called Lawrenceville cosmetic dental procedures are not solely cosmetic. Cumming dental procedures such as tooth replacement are smile-enhancing and, more importantly, prevent many potential problems such as tooth movement, bone loss and difficulty chewing and speaking.

    Myth #2: A Norcross Dental Bridge is the Only Way to Replace a Missing Tooth

    Dental bridges are an Gainesville dental cosmetic procedure that have been used for many years with success. However, dental implants are often a better choice for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants have many advantages for Athens dental patients. They feel like natural teeth, they are stronger, and they are easier to clean than dental bridges. Georgia tooth implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

    Myth #3: At-Home Kits are as Effective for Norcross Tooth Whitening Than a Professional Dental Solution

    At Weber Family Dental, we offer our Lawrenceville dental patients teeth whitening treatments that provide a much greater level of whiteness than at-home kits. At-home kits may remove surface stains, but they do not provide optimum results and can often lead to uneven coloring.

    Myth #4: Dental Bonding is the Best Way to Fix a Chipped Tooth.

    Dental bonding can restore the shape of a tooth, but may not be the best long-term solution. If you have a damaged tooth, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Call us at 678.928.9320 to set up an appointment so we can determine the best solution for you.

    Myth #5: Cumming Braces are the Only Way to Straighten Teeth

    Braces are often part of a transforming dental makeover for our Lawrenceville teens and adults alike. However, if your teeth are only slightly crooked, lumineers can reshape your teeth and dramatically improve your smile. And the best thing about veneers? They offer instant results!
