Benefits of air polishing

 Dental air polishing is an efficient way to clean your teeth at a dental clinic where an air polisher is used for dental hygiene by removing stains from front and back of teeth using compressed air and water. Air polishing of teeth does not hurt the enamel because there is no physical hard rubbing involved in dental air polishing systems as it is just a mixture of compressed air, powder, and water.

 

Is air polishing good for teeth?

The answer is YES! Dental air polishing is much safer than other abrasive dental polishing methods because it is less harmful to enamel.

 

Effectiveness of dental air polishing:

 

Airflow teeth cleaning is a really effective tooth cleaning method among all dental polishing systems due to the following reasons:

·         Airflow polishing does not hurt the tooth enamel.

·         Airflow polishing removes stains, plaque, and stuck food from both the front and back of teeth.

·          Its slim nozzle can reach into tight spaces and it can remove plaque or stuck materials from the tightest teeth gap and periodontal pockets as well.

 

Benefits of dental air polishing:

 

1.       Far more effective than a traditional polish

·         It not only polishes the surface of your teeth by removing discoloration, plaque, and soft deposits but also reaches up to 5 mm deep into the periodontal pockets.

·         Gently remove stains caused by coffee, red wine, tea, and tobacco.

 

2.       Improves patient comfort

·         Certainly, air polishing is quite the opposite of the traditional methods of conventional teeth cleaning as it is a fast, painless, and non-invasive cleaning procedure.

·         Unlike other techniques, this one does not generate any heat or vibration, which is the leading cause of discomfort to the patients.

·         To make the cleaning process more comfortable and pleasant, the powders used in air polishing come with added flavors such as peppermint, lemon, strawberry, etc.

 

3.       Reduces teeth sensitivity

·         For those suffering from tooth sensitivity, air polishing is an ideal treatment because heat and vibration are absent.

 

4.       Cleaning is much faster

·         Studies show that air polishing is three times faster at removing plaque and stains than other traditional procedures.

What is bone grafting?

 

Once the tooth is removed, over a period of time the bone supporting it gradually gets resorbed. At this time there is a very low possibility that the bone could support the implant. A dental bone graft adds volume and density to your jaw in areas where bone loss has occurred. Bone grafting also promotes the growth of bone.

 

Who needs a dental bone graft?

A person with bone loss in their jaw usually needs a dental bone graft. This procedure may be recommended if you:

·         Are having a tooth extracted.

·         Plan to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant.

·         Need to rebuild the jaw before getting dentures.

·         Have areas of bone loss due to gum disease.

 

Types of bone grafts:

·         Autogenous

·         Allograft

·         Xenograft

·         Alloplast

 

1.       Autogenous:

 The bone graft material may be taken from your own body.

 

2.       Allograft:

The graft material may be purchased from a human tissue bank.

 

3.       Xenograft:

The graft is used from an animal tissue bank.

 

4.       Alloplast:

The bone graft material may be synthetic.

 

How does the bone graft work?

Once the bone graft has been placed, it holds space for your own body to do the repair work. In other words, a dental bone graft is like a platform on which your own bone tissue can grow and regenerate.

 

At Teeth Care Centre, we use the world’s renowned, highly researched, and documented brands for maximum treatment outcomes with minimum reactions and cross infections on the recipient's body.
