Dental Implants

When a person loses a tooth, the best solution is dental implants. Predictable, reliable, and long-lived, they’re the closest thing to a real tooth a person can get.

All On 4 Implants

Dental implants are one of the greatest treatment breakthroughs in oral health in the last few decades.

All On 4 Implants Tijuana

Dental implants are one of the greatest treatment breakthroughs in oral health in the last few decades. While there are many methods of replacing one or more missing teeth, dental implants are the only one that allows the dentist to replace the tooth down to the root.

This gives unparalleled restorative and functional benefits to the patient.
However, while a dental implant is great for replacing single teeth, they’re not the best option for replacing many teeth. For that, dentures are still the gold standard. They allow you to replace most or all of an arch of teeth with a single appliance.

But dentures have their fair share of drawbacks. Amongst these is the general lack of stability. Dentures have a tendency to slip in the mouth, and can often rub uncomfortably against gums.

So if you need to replace many teeth, without the cost of replacing each tooth individually but without the discomfort of traditional dentures, what can you do?
Get All On 4 Implants Tijuana.

What Is All On 4 Implants Tijuana?

All On 4 Implants Tijuana is a system where a whole arch of teeth is replaced by a denture that’s supported by four (rarely sometimes more) dental implants. These four implants are strategically placed within the jaw to provide the best possible support for the denture on top.

On the lower jaw, it can be possible to support a denture on as little as two implants, but 4 is the generally accepted minimum for optimum effect.

How Are All On 4 Implants Tijuana Performed?

The All On 4 Implants Tijuana process starts with very careful planning of the implant sites. The four implants need to be placed in such a way that avoids delicate structures within the jaw while also providing optimum support for the denture.

Detailed 3D X-ray scans of the jaw bone are taken first. These are fed into a special program that will guide the placement of the implants and suggest the best positions. The dentist can check the suggested placements, make adjustments as he sees fit, then finalize the positioning.

Once the implant sites are agreed upon, surgery is undertaken to place the implants. This involves opening the gum and drilling guide holes into the jaw, into which the implants are inserted. All of this is performed under a general anesthetic.

Time is needed to allow the implants to heal in place and fuse to the jaw bone. The length of time will depend on the patient, but can be up to about six months in some cases. Once the implants are secure, the denture is placed on top.

What Are the Benefits of All On 4 Implants Tijuana?

All On 4 Implants Tijuana gives patients all the support and restorative benefits of both implants and dentures, without the downsides of either. Using just four implants to replace an entire row of teeth is much more affordable than replacing each individually with implants. Using implants to anchor the dentures gives patients unparalleled comfort and stability with their implant, allowing them to eat and speak like they still had their natural teeth.

At Pacific Implants we have extensive experience in the dental implants procedure, including the all on 4 implant technique. The quality of our work and the quality of life of our implants make us stand out as a dental clinic in Tijuana, in addition, we offer affordable prices in all types of procedures.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Some people want bright, shiny, Hollywood smiles. Some people want to align their teeth a bit better, or just lighten their teeth up a bit. 

Can I get a beautiful smile?

Cosmetic Dentistry

Some people want bright, shiny, Hollywood smiles. Some people want to align their teeth a bit better, or just lighten their teeth up a bit. Whatever amount of work you want to be done, one thing’ the same: we’d all like healthy-looking teeth.

This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in. Cosmetic dentistry covers a wide range of services to give you that healthy, vibrant smile you’ve always wanted.

What Does Cosmetic Dentistry Include?
Cosmetic dentistry includes procedures such as:

Teeth Whitening

Easily the most popular form of cosmetic dentistry and the one most people will be familiar with. Teeth whitening comes in many forms. These break down into two main types: in-chair whitening performed in a dental chair, and at-home whitening done at your convenience.
In-chair teeth whitening is usually done in a one-hour session. It’s the more expensive of the two, but also the more effective. Because it’s done by trained professionals they can more precisely monitor the amount of whitening agent used.

At-home whitening is cheaper and more convenient but generally won’t whiten your teeth as much as quickly as in-chair whitening. Many dentists give at-home whitening kits to patients after they’ve received in-chair whitening as a way of topping up the whitening over time.

Veneers

Veneers are thin slivers of material that go over a front tooth to restore or enhance the look of that tooth. A simple way to think of them is like fake nails for your teeth.

Veneers are great for patients who have cracked or chipped their teeth, or who were simply born with thin or oddly-shaped teeth.

Crowns

Dental crowns are both a restorative and cosmetic procedure. They restore the function and integrity of a damaged tooth while also giving them a cosmetic overhaul.

Crowns are typically used to fix cracked and broken molars, or molars that have had root canal treatment.

Teeth Aligning

Cosmetic teeth aligning is a little different from traditional orthodontics. Orthodontics is a specific specialty in dentistry that can make significant changes to tooth position and jaw development. Cosmetic teeth realignment uses much the same technology as traditional orthodontics, but with two major differences:

Firstly, they’re mostly concentrated on the front six teeth of the upper and lower jaw. These are the most visible when you’re smiling and talking to people.

Secondly, they typically do their job much faster than a course of traditional orthodontics. Realigning a whole mouth can take anywhere from one to two and a half years.

Working Together For a Smile Makeover

A Smile Makeover is an increasingly popular option for many people. Rather than just get a single kind of cosmetic dentistry done, your dentist in Tijuana comes up with a plan to combine as many as necessary to give you your dream smile.

Smile Makeovers regularly combine whitening, aligning, and veneers to create the smile you always wanted.

Dental Restorations

Whether through accident or disease, it’s surprisingly easy for teeth to become damaged. Luckily, many years and brilliant minds have been dedicated to addressing these problems.

Need a dental restoration?

Dental Restoration

Whether through accident or disease, it’s surprisingly easy for teeth to become damaged. Luckily, many years and brilliant minds have been dedicated to addressing these problems. Restoring damaged or diseased teeth are today a major part of dentistry.

The primary goal of dental restorations is to restore both the look and function of the damaged tooth. For as many ways as there are for teeth to become damaged, there are ways to restore them.

Dental restorations cover the following treatments and procedures:

Fillings

Dental fillings are one of the most common and well-known dental treatments in the world.

Fillings are used to restore teeth that have developed cavities, also known as dental caries. Cavities are the most common form of tooth damage in the world. It’s estimated that 90-96% of Americans aged 65 or older have them.

Dental fillings can be made out of many materials. The most common are amalgam fillings, made with a metal alloy containing silver, copper, zinc, tin, and mercury. These have received a lot of bad press over the last few years over fears of mercury poisoning. While the FDA still considers them safe to use, there are other concerns about their effectiveness.

Other filling material includes composite resin and even gold. Gold is actually a great restorative material, as it’s both long-lasting and durable.

Veneers

Veneers are both restorative and cosmetic items. A good way to think of them is like fake nails for your front teeth. Veneers are thin appliances that cover up chipped or cracked teeth to restore their shape.

Veneers can also be made out of a variety of materials, including metal alloys, gold, composite resin, and porcelain.

Crowns

Dental crowns are used to restore chipped and cracked molars, and also to restore teeth after root canals.

Dental crowns are effective caps that go over damaged teeth. They restore the look of the tooth to a natural state and protect the tooth from further damage.

Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays are similar to dental crowns, but rather than covering the entire biting surface of a tooth, they only replace parts.

An inlay covers the cusp, or inner curved part, of a tooth. This is what you can feel with your tongue if you touch your molars. An only covers one of the tips of your teeth and part of the biting surface.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing a single missing tooth. They’re a three-part restoration made out of a titanium screw, an abutment — something that supports a restoration — and a dental crown.

Implants can be used to replace a missing tooth, several teeth using a bridge, or even an entire row of dentures using procedures like All-On-Four.

Bridges and Dentures

Dental Bridges are used to replace one or more teeth in a row. Dentures can be whole or partial, depending on if they replace an entire arch of teeth or just part of one.

Bridges and dentures can be supported or stabilized by dental implants, or adhered directly to either remaining teeth or the gums.

Dental Crowns

When there’s a problem with your molars — the teeth at the back of your mouth — it can make life very unpleasant. Most of the pressure from our jaws when we bite goes through those teeth.

Dental Crowns

When there’s a problem with your molars — the teeth at the back of your mouth — it can make life very unpleasant. Most of the pressure from our jaws when we bite goes through those teeth. If they’re chipped or cracked, all of that pressure is going to translate into discomfort and pain. The best way to get on top of it? Dental crowns.

What Are Dental Crowns

A dental crown is an appliance designed to restore the look and function of a chipped or cracked tooth. It also protects the tooth from further damage.

It’s easiest to think of a dental crown is a kind of cap or helmet that sits over the natural tooth. Dental crowns are shaped to look like real teeth, and depending on the material used can appear very natural. Dental Crowns can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, porcelain, or composite resin.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Most of the force of your bite goes into your back teeth. If a tooth is chipped or cracked, this force will eventually make the tooth break. This is not just painful, it’s complicated and time-consuming to fix.

A dental crown helps to restore the integrity of the damaged tooth. Pressure from your bite is spread properly among the crown, preventing further damage.

Dental crowns are also used after a root canal. Because a hole needs to be drilled through your tooth to get to the pulp inside, the tooth’s integrity becomes compromised. Capping the treated tooth with a crown gives it its strength back, and also prevents bacteria re-entering the tooth.

What’s the Procedure Like?

Getting a dental crown takes a few steps.

After your consultation, an impression will need to be taken of your teeth. This allows the crown to be properly designed and ensure it fits in your mouth.

Because the crown sits on top of the tooth, some enamel needs to be shaved away to allow a proper fit. If the enamel isn’t shaved back, then the crown won’t fit in the mouth. After the crown is placed on the tooth it should take up little to no more room than the original tooth did.

After that, a temporary crown is fitted until the full crown is properly machined. Some dental practices offer same-day crown restorations using machines such as the CEREC. These are computer-guided systems that take digital scans of the teeth, create a virtual design for the crown, and then machine it automatically.

Otherwise, it will take several weeks for the crown to be ready to fix into place on the tooth.

Is There Anyone Who Can’t Get a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns aren’t considered invasive procedures, and there are no real contraindications for getting one. The only time a crown might not be considered is if the tooth is too damaged. After a point, placing a crown on a severely damaged tooth simply won’t do anything. In those cases, it will be best to get the tooth removed and have a dental implant or bridge placed there instead.

Dental Bridges

For as long as people have been losing and extracting teeth, we’ve been trying to come up with ways to replace them. 

Dental Bridges to replace missing teeth

Dental Bridges

For as long as people have been losing and extracting teeth, we’ve been trying to come up with ways to replace them. One of the earliest known methods, found in Egyptian mummies as old as 4,000 years, are dental bridges.

We’ve come a long way since those earliest examples, but the purpose of a dental bridge has remained the same: to replace one or more missing teeth in a row.

What Are Dental Bridges?

As the name suggests, a dental bridge is a prosthetic that literally “bridges” the gap between two teeth.

The prosthetic itself is made up of several dental crowns fused together in a row. The crowns at the ends of the bridge are used to hold the bridge in place, while the crowns in the middle replace the missing tooth or teeth.

Dental crowns are made out of a variety of materials. These can be of porcelain, metal allows, or even gold. Sometimes a combination of materials is used for the best results.

How Are Dental Bridges Supported?

There are two main ways to support a dental bridge:

The most common is to use the remaining healthy teeth on either side of the gap. These teeth have their enamel shaved down so the crowns on either end of the bridge can be fixed on top of them.

An option growing in popularity is to use dental implants to support a bridge instead. This is ideal when there are three or more teeth in a row missing. The two teeth at either end are replaced with dental implants, and the bridge is placed on top of these.

This saves the dentist from having to work on otherwise healthy teeth, which is generally preferred. Implant-supported dentures have a tendency to be more durable and last for longer than their traditional counterparts.

What Are the Benefits?

Dental bridges work to restore both the look and function of your mouth. Benefits include:

• Restoring the ability to eat, chew, and speak properly.
• Restoring your smile and maintaining the natural shape of your face.
• Restoring an even distribution of your bite force. This prevents you from favoring one side of your mouth and damaging the rest of your teeth.
• Prevents “drifting” of the teeth on either side of the gap.

What’s The Procedure Like?

First the teeth that will support the bridge — the “abutment teeth” — need to be prepared. This will either involve shaving down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap or installing the implants. The goal is to make an ideal foundation for the rest of the bridge.

Impressions are made of the mouth and a cast is made.

This cast allows the dentist and technicians to properly design and build the crown to fit your mouth precisely.
You’ll first receive a temporary crown while the final version is fabricated. Once the final version has been finished you’ll have a series of fittings.

These are to ensure the bridge fits comfortably and properly so it doesn’t come loose or cause damage. You may need several fittings before the bridge is finalized. It’s important to get this step right or risk spending time and money fixing errors later.

Lastly, the bridge is cemented in place or securely attached to the implants.

Root Canal

Root canals have earned themselves a poor reputation over the years. They’re one of the most recognizable, and most-feared, dental procedures around.

Dental Implants Tijuana

When a person loses a tooth the best solution is dental implants. Predictable, reliable, and long-lived, they’re the closest thing to a real tooth a person can get. Whatever metric you judge them on, be it aesthetics, functionality, or even overall health benefits, dental implants are the gold standard.

What Are Dental Implants in Tijuana Mexico?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed into the void left in the jaw by a missing or extracted tooth. Effectively, a dental implant acts as an artificial tooth root.

This part is stage one of a three-stage process. Once the implant has settled, it’s then fit with a connector, called an abutment, on which a prosthetic can be placed. This might be a single dental crown to replace a single tooth, or could even be a whole denture supported on four or more implants.
