Dental Implants Dr Ahmed Javed Butt Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. They are small, artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are accepted by the body and integrate with the jawbone to create a strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth. The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps. First, a thorough examination and evaluation of the patient's oral health is performed to determine if they are a good candidate for dental implants. This may include taking X-rays and CT scans to assess the health of the jawbone and the position of the nerves and sinuses. Next, the implant, which is a small, cylindrical post made of titanium, is placed into the jawbone through a small incision in the gum tissue. The implant is then left to heal and integrate with ...

Dental Retainer Dr Ahmed Javed Butt  Dental retainers are an essential part of orthodontic treatment. They are used to maintain the position of teeth after braces are removed or after other forms of orthodontic treatment. Retainers are custom-made appliances that are tailored to fit the patient's mouth and teeth. There are different types of retainers, including fixed and removable. Fixed retainers are bonded to the back of the teeth and are not removable by the patient. Removable retainers, on the other hand, can be taken out by the patient and are typically worn at night. The main purpose of dental retainers is to prevent teeth from moving back to their original position. When braces are removed, the teeth and surrounding structures, such as the gums and jawbone, are in a state of flux. The teeth are no longer held in place by the braces, and there is a tendency for them to shift. Retainers help to stabilize the teeth and prevent further movement. Retainers also help to improve t...

They can be used to mask a variety of dental imperfections, including discoloration, gaps, chips, and misshapen teeth.

Impressions of the teeth will then be taken and sent to a mdental laboratory where the veneers will be fabricated. The second appointment is when the veneers are placed. The dentist will first clean and polish the teeth to...
