• Tooth Replacements for Lost Teeth

  Click screen to watch

  Gum disease for adults is fairly common. Left untreated for too long can cause loss of tissue, bone and teeth. See a slide presentation showing Dr. Nazarian using grafting products and a custom milled titanium cantilevered bridge that enables the patient to have 10 new lower jaw teeth instead of only 5, given the number of implants used.
  
  Reconstruction of the upper jaw involved getting rid of the diseased tissue and then rebuilding the boney ridge and gingiva that was prepared for a cosmetic upper denture. Disease eradicated, new bone and new teeth throughout creates a great looking smile that feels just right.
  
  

• Say NO to Lower Denture Teeth

  Denture wearers know all too well what can happen to jawbone mass and integrity. Simply stated, a jaw that has no natural teeth or implants will seemingly melt away. Excessive, but not total, extractions also cause bone loss for the same reason. Watch a slide presentation of how a denture wearer who had only 6 lower teeth (actually a cemented bridge on two anchor teeth) was able to avoid the usual recommendation of complete endulation and fitting for a lower denture.
  
  Dr. Nazarian used his proprietary procedures to create a ten (10) unit cantilivered bridge that is mounted to 5 strategically placed implants in new bone that was successfully grown - augmented in the anterior mandible.
  
  New upper denture teeth were fabricated to recreated a bite and occlusion the patient had not had in over 20 years.

  Minicycline exerts its antimicrobial activity by prohibiting ptotein synthesis of the bacteria and has been shown to be effective against the pathogens associated with periodontal disease. Arrestin is a powder that is blown into the pockets with a special syringe (plastic tube, not a needle). It maintains its therapeutic drug concentration for up to 21 days of administration.
