Brighten your smile with teeth whitening!

Both the patients and the dental professionals stressed seeing your dentist first. Dental diseases such as swollen bleeding gums and decay need to be addressed before whitening teeth.

The best option according to those we asked is custom whitening trays. They fit well and therefore the gel is neatly placed around the teeth. Some dental offices offer whitening for life. Once the initial trays are made and tubes of whitening gel purchased patients receive an additional tube of whitening at each dental hygiene visit. 

Another favorite was Crest 3D Whitestrips. They are not custom-made but are convenient and easily accessible.

Opalescence Go is offered at many dental practices as a complimentary gift for new patients after they have completed necessary treatment. Once again, it is not a custom fit but comes in different strengths and is designed to be used 10-15 days for maximum results. 

Colgate Optic Toothpaste and Opalescence Whitening toothpaste come up as preferred whitening toothpastes.

It is important to note that while these products can be effective, it is essential to consult with a dentist before starting any whitening treatment.

Dental implants and implant supported dentures are the best and most permanent way to replace missing teeth. Frankel Dentistry offers partial and full dentures, placed with a titanium root which can be just as strong as your original teeth. This helps prevent bone loss and build confidence in your smile.

The beauty of implant supported dentures at Frankel Dentistry, is the procedure is done in house. We take a 3D scan that allows us to place the implant virtually, in the perfect spot. Once the dental image of the implant is created we can create a guide. The guide allows the implant supported dentures to be quickly and precisely placed.

Within three to four months, the implant or implants will fuse to the bone, and the implant crown, tooth, or dentures can be placed.

Don’t believe us? Meet Alan.

Alan is a kind, friendly Toledo native who loves family, conversation, and Cafe Donuts. We sat down with Alan, listened to his concerns, weighed out his options and the final result? A beautiful, brand new smile.

Alan shares how appearances have such an impact on your well-being. While he is still the same kind soul he was before his smile makeover, he finds himself easily accepted by new friends, presented with new opportunities and confidence in his smile. Find your smile again at Frankel Dentistry.

Partial edentulism affects a large majority of adults in America. Over 33 million individuals have dentures. Dentures replace missing teeth with prosthetics and restore the size and shape of the original smile. An Implant Denture is a set of prosthetics supported by a titanium post placed in the patient’s mouth. Implant dentures offer convenience, natural function, natural looking smile, and longevity. Fixed implants preserve the bone and maintain facial features, patients are able to talk, chew, and smile just as before with their natural teeth. Only your dental professional will be able to detect your dentures. If you maintain proper care and stay up to date with you recare appointments your implant dentures can last a lifetime.

Call today to schedule your FREE consultation. You can meet our team, tour our office, and discuss all your oral care goals.

The post Curious about Implant Dentures? first appeared on Toledo Dentist News.

Losing an adult tooth due to decay, gum disease, or injury can be upsetting. The thought of wearing a partial denture is an unwelcome life-style change.

A permanent dental bridge compromises the health of the adjacent teeth.

Fortunately,  the art and science of dentistry has come to the rescue. 

Dental implants are as close as it gets to natural teeth. A titanium root is fused to the bone of your jaw. Once fixed in place an attachment is placed. A crown looking just like your original tooth ( and sometimes better) is cemented to the attachment.

It is basically back to normal. You can brush, floss and smile.

If you are interested in replacing missing teeth with dental implants call Frankel Dentistry for a complimentary consultation. Things that may be discussed are:

• Replacing missing teeth to minimize bone loss and shifting teeth.
• Evaluating your dental health with a comprehensive oral exam and x-rays
• Taking a multidimensional scan of your teeth to determine if an implant is a possibility.
• Using a scan to map out the ideal location for a dental implant.
• Creating a guide to position the implant.
• Placing the Implant.
•  Attaching an abutment to hold the new crown.
• Seating the dental crown.

Learn How Dentures Can Help You

Is your smile missing some teeth? Are you looking forward to chewing again on your favorite foods?  Dentures may be right for you! Modern dentures look and fell like real teeth. Dentures replace missing teeth with prosthetics and restore your original smile.

Patients may receive full dentures, partial dentures or implant dentures. Full models replace all of the teeth on your upper and lower arch.  On the other hand, partial dentures work in tandem with your remaining teeth to fill in the gaps in your mouth. Finally, implant-supported dentures use titanium posts that are placed in your mouth. these lock denture into place, giving you a permanent and secure solution.

Enjoy that apple! The top benefits of dentures include: improved ability to eat and fewer diet restrictions, improved speech and increased self-confidence with a healthy smile.

Dentures are easy to care for – they can be removed for cleaning and brushing. It’s best to have your dentures checked at your annual exams as most dentures last five to ten years.

It is important to talk to the Frankel Dentistry staff about all of your dentures options and have all of your questions answered.

Toledo Dentist replaces what is missing! Dr. Jonathan Frankel shares information on Dental Implants.

At Frankel Dentistry, we find it is very important to educate patients with the latest and greatest dental procedures. Dental Implants are a great solution for patients who have lost teeth.  Missing teeth can lead to gum disease, bone loss, and the risk of losing more teeth.  Dr. Frankel and team are here to help educate our community about their dental options.

What are dental implants? Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into your jaw. These metal roots hold the replacement tooth.

What are the advantages of dental implants? Having a full set of teeth can help improve appearance, self esteem, speech and make eating easier and enjoyable.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants? Schedule an appointment for a free consultation to discuss what is best for you. We’d be happy to talk over your options so you can have your best smile.

What are my next steps? At Frankel Dentistry, we take a 3D scan to evaluate the area. Then the staff virtually places the implant in the image. Another scan is taken and sent to Germany where a guide is made. The guide allows the implant to be quickly and precisely place. The bone will fuse to the implant, creating a secure foundation for your new tooth. Healing times may vary, but once this process is complete, a permanent crown will be placed on the implant or a denture will be secured and anchored by strategically placed implant posts.

To

Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Looking Great!

Save supporting bone.

Once a tooth is lost the supporting bone begins to melt away. Dental Implants not only replace missing teeth and allow one to chew well and speak clearly; they keep the jaw bone solid.

Save face.

Replacing missing teeth with dental implants keeps your smile youthful. Lost teeth can lead to sunken cheeks and down-turned smiles. Implants leave you smiling.

Save time.

Dental implants are a proven long term replacement for missing teeth. There is a 97 percent success rate. They are easy to maintain. You brush and floss an implant just as you would your natural teeth. Dental bridges replace missing teeth but are more of a challenge to keep clean and often need to be replaced after ten to twenty years.
