Dental Implants

Dr. Bawa, from Bawa Dental Clinic, Sector 40, Chandigarh, talks about the merits of dental implants and also explains the procedure of getting perfect-looking dentures. 

What are dental implants? 

We’re going to talk about dental implants today. It is a revolutionary thing in the dental field nowadays. The best thing about dental implants is that they can replace a missing tooth without damaging the adjacent tooth. It is like your own natural teeth, which we replace with implants. 

What is the dental implant procedure? 

The main thing in the implant is that we have a titanium screw which we put in the jawbone, and we fix the tooth on that. So that becomes the root of the structure, and we can chew very effectively with this replacement.  Now I would explain to you what implants are using this model, making the explanation easy to understand.  Suppose we have three teeth missing here. So what we do is we put two implants in the jawbone. And then, we can put the upper teeth on these implants. And the patient will have no issue chewing with these implants.

How can a tooth implant help fix loose dentures? 

One of the very common problems today is loose and ill-fitting dentures in older adults. And nowadays, with implants, we can fix the dentures in the mouth, like this. I suppose this is the jaw, and this is the ill-fitting denture. So, What we do is we put 1,2,3,4 implant in the jaw and fix the denture. It fits perfectly, and there is no movement in the denture as such: The patent can chew very easily with these types of dentures.

Sensitive Teeth and its Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Hello, I am Dr. Bawa, from Bawa Dental Clinic, Sector 40, Chandigarh. Our clinic is one of the oldest clinics in sector 40. We are running this clinic for the last 35 years. 

Today I am going to talk about this very common problem, i.e. sensitivity of the teeth. If you feel pain or sensation in your teeth when you drink something cold or hot, the patient has to visit a dentist. In this case, what I would suggest is, you consult a dentist at your earliest. The earlier it is, the better it is.  But in case the pain is too much, then we may have to go for a root canal and other extensive treatments. But if the sensitivity is less, we can treat it regularly, i.e. the best we can suggest. 

The most common thing with the patients’ practice in case of sensitivity is the use of desensitizing toothpaste. But I would recommend not to use these de-sensitizing toothpaste for a long time as they damage the teeth in the long run. If the cavity is too deep, we might have to go for a root canal and other fillings. So it is a must that we consult a dentist and get proper treatment for sensitive teeth at the earliest. The more we delay, the more we are the losers as a patient.
