San Antonio Cosmetic Dentist Offers New Dental Implant Options

San Antonio Cosmetic Dentist Now Offering New Dental Implant Options!

Are you tired of those dentures yet…well, here’s an alternative!

San Antonio cosmetic dentist, Edward J Camacho, has teamed up with one of the city’s top oral surgeons and an award winning lab to bring patients an alternative to conventional dentures!

For many patients saving what few teeth they have left may not be the best option anymore.

As dentists, we used to be of the mindset, states Dr. Camacho that a patient should hang onto every tooth for as long as possible, and we put large span fixed bridges on what few teeth they had left.

Recent research has shown problems with this approach to dental care. When the teeth and the supporting structures deteriorate to a point where the teeth are loose, and long span fixed bridges are put in, this is quite often not the best option anymore. These weakened teeth just simply cannot bear the load of these bridges, and they will eventually fail.

Furthermore, the teeth supporting these bridges frequently abscess giving you pain and an added expense of necessary root canals. Or your teeth simply fail altogether and a dentist must extract your teeth and try to cut off sections of the bridge. The gum disease continues to progress and your body is continually fighting infection.

All of this is a big expense to you as a patient and you’ll eventually wind up with some type of denture in the future anyway.

Another problem is that this load bearing stress continues to deteriorate the bone so you eventually have to have all the remaining teeth removed. You see, when there is very little bone left, it makes it difficult to wear any type of denture you eventually end up with.

There have not been a lot of options – until recently.

Dental implants have been around for a while, but there are many different types and placement options, but they are costly and extremely time-consuming to manage. Even more disappointing is when the doctor, the surgeon, and the lab may not all be on the same page so the result may not be as ideal as it could be – until now.

To remedy all this for you, I want to let you know that I am very excited to have teamed up with Dr. Robert Lemke, one of San Antonio’s top oral surgeons who is also a medical doctor, and Oral Designs – an award winning lab, right here in town to offer you a new dental implant technique called “All-on-4.”

About 4 implants are placed on the top and 4 on the bottom, and you will leave with a temporary fixed acrylic bridge the same day or if you have an existing denture it can be modified to be fixed until you heal! You wear this for about 3 months while they are healing and then a new bridge is fabricated. This can all be accomplished in as little as 3 appointments!

With the older and now outdated technique, when implants were placed, they had to heal “under the gum” and then another procedure was required to uncover them, and in the meantime you didn’t have any teeth.

Now with this new technique, you get the dental implants and leave with fixed teeth the same day, so you do not have to remove them like a regular denture. They also do not cover the palate, so you can taste and feel hot and cold better – which is not the case with traditional dentures.

This new type of implant borne bridge restores 90% of the functional capacity of the jaw! So the increase in your quality of life is dramatically improved in one day.

The best thing about this technique is that the implants act like healthy teeth and preserve the bone so this really is a long term solution for you.

Since I work in tandem with the surgeon and the lab (we are all specially trained in this technique), the process is fast and offers a better, healthier, more cost effective and long term solution for you.

It is very exciting for me to help a patient who feels hopeless and restore them to almost full functional capacity and give them the beautiful smile they have dreamed of within a short period of time. Naturally, the best part of my job is to see tears of joy when I fix your problem and assist you to get back into the swing of your life.

Give our office a call at 210-493-9944 to see if you might be a candidate for “All-on-4″ and schedule a no-obligation consultation at my new office, Cosmetic Dentistry of San Antonio, located at 16535 Huebner Rd (at Bitters) Suite #102, San Antonio 78248

I look forward to helping you with your teeth!

San Antonio Cosmetic Dentist Advises on Link Between Crooked Teeth and Heart Disease

One of San Antonio’s top cosmetic dentists, Edward J Camacho, advises patients on how Invisalign could add years to your life! We all know that when you flash someone a smile it warms the heart but there is another connection between your teeth and your heart that is very important.

There are numerous confirmed studies that link periodontal (gum) disease to heart and other disease.

People with periodontal (gum) disease are at a greater risk because bacteria from the mouth enters the bloodstream and travels to other organs such as the heart and can cause harm. Just as important, people with crooked and crowded teeth have a harder time keeping their teeth clean leading to poor home care that can eventually lead to gum disease.

What exactly is periodontal disease? Periodontal (perio literally means “around” and “dontal” means tooth) disease destroys the fibers and supporting bone that hold your teeth in your mouth and the teeth begin to get loose and eventually fall out. Once you have lost that bone there is no way to get it back.

It is estimated that 75% of people at some point will suffer periodontal disease. I see a very high incidence of gum disease every day in my practice. The problem with oral disease (both decay and gum disease) is that it never hurts until it progresses to more advanced stages where the teeth begin to get loose. Gum disease is not inevitable and with proper care your teeth can last a lifetime.

To get a little more technical, oral byproducts enter the bloodstream and trigger the liver to make substances that inflame arteries and may cause blood clots that clog arteries leading to strokes and heart attacks. One of the substances that the liver makes in response to these bacteria and their byproducts is something called C Reactive Protein (CRP).

Elevated CRP is a known risk factor for heart disease. You might want to ask your doctor to run a CRP blood level.

Periodontal treatment is now part of the protocol when treating patients who have heart disease; the lucky ones anyway. Heart disease is still the number one killer (over 35% of deaths are from heart and heart related disease; from 2006 statistics). A normal CRP does not mean you do not have gum disease. Gum disease is a chronic condition and it may not be at a level to increase CRP by itself.

Obviously, gum disease is not the only risk factor but it is enough to have doctors and surgeons incorporate oral health as part of their treatment protocol. Periodontal disease is also linked to failure of hip replacements. In fact, you have to have a clean bill of oral health before you can have hip replacement surgery. Also, people who keep their own teeth live on an average of 10 years longer!

What does Invisalign have to do with potentially prolonging your life or your child’s life? Fixing crowded teeth is no longer done just for cosmetic reasons. Teeth that are aligned are easier to clean and take care of therefore reducing the risk of gum disease which can lead to heart and other disease.

Studies show the type of bacteria that collect around crooked teeth are more aggressive in causing gum disease. With options like Invisalign and Invisalign Teen straightening your teeth has never been easier. No more metal and wires with Invisalign. They can be removed to eat and to brush and floss so cleaning your teeth during treatment is easier reducing the risk of decay and other problems associated with traditional braces.

Healthy teeth and gums are essential to your overall health so get your teeth cleaned and checked regularly and consider straightening your teeth with Invisalign.

Dr. Edward Camacho DDS of San Antonio is a Premier Provider of Invisalign and has done hundreds of cases.
