When patients search online for a dentist, they don’t all have the same level of urgency. Some are just browsing, Googling things like “how often should I floss” or “what’s the difference between veneers and crowns.” Others, though, are past the research phase and ready to book an appointment. They’re typing things like: “emergency dentist near me” and “dental implant cost in [city]." These are called BOFU keywords, short for bottom-of-the-funnel. They signal that someone isn’t just curious about dentistry; they’re ready to choose a provider. Showing up for BOFU searches is how you turn Google into a steady stream of new patient leads.

Excessive Alcohol Consumption Can Sabotage Your Dental Implants

Digital Resource Blogger — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 03:57:54 -0700

Alcohol should not be consumed following dental implant treatment so as not to interrupt recovery. Generally, after any surgical treatment such as dental implants in Fremont, CA, abstaining from alcoholic beverages allows your body to recuperate. Below are some of the explanations made by dental professionals on why this advice is important.

What Is Avascular Necrosis and How Does It Affect You?

Avascular Necrosis

It is a disease in which your bones begin to die. Avascular necrosis (AVN) occurs when the bone dies when the existing blood vessels get clogged or due to a lack of blood vessels.

AVN can be caused by any type of trauma resulting from the bone healing process, such as the placement of dental implants. However, such a condition is more common in smokers since smoking affects the production of blood vessels.

Excessive alcohol intake is known to cause AVN because it lowers your body’s ability to absorb fat, resulting in excess fat in the blood. Once fat clogs the tiny blood channels in the bone, it will start to weaken and die.

Its Effects

It’ll Take Longer for Your Dental Implants to Heal

Drinking alcohol immediately after an implant procedure can cause your wound to recuperate more slowly. When you drink alcohol, it reduces your body’s ability to generate critical proteins that aid in the healing process. Failure to develop these proteins results in the inability of blood clot formation, which can lead to the implant’s eventual collapse.

Prescription Medications Will Be Interfered

Combining prescription medications and alcohol in your system is one of the most harmful combos. Many people feel that drinking will increase their numbness and provide relief from their painful mouth. However, this combo can have fatal consequences. That is why dental professionals recommend that anyone taking pain drugs abstain from drinking alcohol.

Although the danger may not be that alarming, it should still be considered to avoid future problems. If you’d like to find out if you’re a good candidate for this treatment, come see us today!

How Are Osteoporosis and Dental Implant Related?

Digital Resource Blogger — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 20:12:27 -0700

What’s the best option for replacing lost teeth? Dental implants in Fremont, CA, are the finest restorations you’ll get if you’re suffering from tooth loss. However, while doing research, you might have come across the fact that if you have decreased bone density, they may become ineffective.

However, don’t get easily discouraged, as you still might have options that work in your favor.

Effects of Osteoporosis on Dental Implants

What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes one’s bone to be brittle and weaken. Though the symptoms are most visible in bones found in arms and legs, they can also impair the teeth and jaw.

Ill-fitting dentures and loose teeth can actually be one of the earliest symptoms that the jawbone is deteriorating due to osteoporosis. As the condition progresses, patients may lose all of their teeth.

Its Effects on Dental Implants

Depending on various conditions and before the advancements of dental technology, the existence of osteoporosis has been known to result in a negative impact on the success rate of dental operations, including dental implants.

Jaw Osteonecrosis is a Possibility

This condition occurs when there is a loss of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply, resulting in excruciating pain and discomfort in the affected area. Patients with osteoporosis may be at risk of developing this illness as a result of dental operations.

Drugs Linked to Osteoporosis

Due to the continuous use of bisphosphonates, a prominent drug classification for osteoporosis treatment, those suffering from osteoporosis are at an elevated risk of oral surgery problems.

Bone Density

Dental professionals may not be able to safely place dental implants in patients with osteoporosis because the increased porosity of the jawbone may hinder the implants from taking root.

Restore Your Complete Smile with Dental implants in Fremont, CA

While there is less of a chance, you’re eligible for implants, some patients with osteoporosis might still be candidates. It’s worth a consultation with your dentist if you want the best restorations available. Make an appointment with a dental professional at Mission Peak Dental Care to discuss your choices.
