Celebrate 2014 with Dental Implants!

January 6, 2014

Being insecure about your smile is never an easy thing to deal with. When you are not confident about your smile, everything else seems to fall to the waist side. You may be hesitant to laugh with your friends, smile, or be around other people. Though it may feel as though there is no relief to your smile insecurities, our very own Dr. David G. Banda is able to restore your smile to perfection with dental implants.

Dental implants are a wonderful option for those who want to permanently change their smile. The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Banda. There, he will be able to fully assess your smile, discuss your long term goals, as well as address any concerns or questions you may have. If you are considered a candidate for dental implants, Dr. Banda will surgically install a screw-like implant into your jaw bone. This provides stability for your new teeth, as well as prevents bone loss. After the implant, the abutment is added, which is essentially a support system for the implant as well as the crown to be placed on top. The final step to dental implanting is placing your beautiful crowns on top of the abutment. At the end of the procedure, you are left with nothing but a beautiful, flawless smile!

One of the many advantages to dental implants is the fact they look completely natural. Like many people, you may not want it to be obvious you had work done, or you do not want your smile to look fake. Dental implants look like your natural teeth, sure you are sure to look as put together as possible. Another advantage is the fact that dental implants restore you self-esteem. Because you may have lost some confidence while being insecure about your smile, this procedure is a wonderful way to give back the worth you have missed!

Comfortable Dental Care with Sedation Dentistry

January 3, 2014

Many patients struggle with anxiety when it comes to dental care. At Cranbrook Dental Care, we don’t want patients to delay or put off care because of anxious feelings. That’s why we offer two popular forms of sedation dentistry. With oral conscious sedation and IV sedation, we can help you ease stressful feelings and get the important care you need.

Oral conscious sedation works using an anti-anxiety medication prescribed for you by Dr. Banda. Simply take the prescribed amount one hour before your procedure. As you wait for your appointment to begin, the medicine will begin to take effect. Many patients come close to dosing off, but you’ll still be able to respond to Dr. Banda’s questions or directions during your visit. Most patients don’t have any memory of their appointment afterwards.

Similarly, IV sedation can help you experience dental care in a way you never thought possible. But with this method, the sedative is delivered intravenously instead of with a pill. In both cases, you will need a friend or family member with you to drive you home afterwards.

Don’t put off important dental care any longer. Call Cranbrook Dental Care to find out how sedation dentistry can help you. We serve patients from Bloomfield Hills, Royal Oak, Clarkston, Troy, and Birmingham.

Avoiding Bones Loss with Dental Implants

March 18, 2013

Tooth roots serve two important functions. The first is that they anchor teeth to the jaw. Second, they stimulate the production of new bone tissue. This keeps the jaw healthy and strong.

When a tooth is lost, so is the root. As a result, a part of the jaw no longer has something there to stimulate the growth of new bone tissue. That can lead to serious repercussions for your smile as time goes by.

Bone loss will be the primary problem. Over time, the portion of jaw that’s missing a root will begin to atrophy. Then, as more bone loss occurs, nearby teeth will be put in danger as well. Given enough time, it’s possible for the loss of just one tooth to lead to the loss of several others.

Thankfully, with a restorative solution like dental implants, Dr. Banda of Cranbrook Dental Care can help patients from Bloomfield and beyond avoid bone loss. That’s because dental implants mimic the structure of natural teeth. The top portion–known as the crown–replaces your missing tooth, while the implant post below it acts like a prosthetic root.

Most dental implants are made from titanium. When placed in the jaw, implants promote the growth of new bone tissue, the way a natural root does. Over time, the jaw and your new “root” will bond, creating a strong, stable foundation for your replacement tooth.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Do you have a gap in your smile? Are you worried about bone loss in your jaw? Talk to Dr. Banda about restoring your smile with dental implants. During a simple a consultation visit with him at his Bloomfield dental office, he can tell you if you’re a candidate for the procedure. If you are, his team can start putting together your treatment plan right away.

Call Cranbrook Dental Care today to reserve your appointment with Dr. Banda. We serve patients from Clarkston, Troy, Royal Oak, Birmingham, and the entire metropolitan area of Detroit.
