Straumann dental implants offer a reliable, long-term solution to replace your natural teeth and restore your smile.
Whether you are missing one tooth, multiple teeth, or all of your teeth, Straumann dental implants offer a state-of-the-art, reliable solution to provide you a healthy, natural-looking smile.
Straumann dental implants help prevent bone loss, avoid shifting teeth and changes in facial structure, and maintain the health of remaining natural teeth and your overall long-term oral health
Many adults, young and old, suffer from gum disease (periodontitis), resulting in loss of bone and other tissues that support natural teeth. Straumann offers effective solutions to save your natural teeth and regenerate lost gum tissue and bone.
It’s important to identify and treat gum disease and gum recession early. Left unchecked, the situation can worsen to a point where the root becomes unprotected and teeth may loosen or fall out.
Gum Disease
Gum disease is an inflammatory disease of the periodontal tissues, which may result in the loss of teeth and supporting structures.
Bacteria and their toxins spread and cause bacterial plaque. If plaque is not removed by appropriate oral hygiene, tartar develops due to mineral deposits. A normal toothbrush is no longer sufficient; its removal requires professional cleaningby a dentist or dental hygienist. If tartar is not removed, its toxins irritate the gums and stimulate an inflammatory response in which the body, in essence, turns on itself and the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed.
Please note that not all patients exhibit these advanced symptoms of the inflammatory disease. Always consult with your dentist if you are uncertain about the condition of your gums.
Gum Recession
When gums recede, the bone and other tissues that support your tooth's root are also lost.
The role of gum tissue is to cover and protect the tooth root and underlying jawbone. When gum tissue recedes, the bone and other tissues that support your tooth's root are also lost. The resulting root sensitivity may also make eating and drinking unpleasant or even painful.
It's important to identify and treat recession early. Left unchecked, recession could worsen to a point where the root becomes unprotected and teeth may loosen and fall out.
Symptoms of gum recession can include:
Sensitive teeth
Tender gums
Longer tooth line
Exposed roots
Loose teeth
Regenerative Treatment with Straumann Emdogain
Emdogain is designed to treat and reverse the effects of gum disease and gum recession naturally. In much the way stem cells work to generate new cell growth, Emdogain uses proteins – which your body produces naturally – to regenerate lost gum tissue, bone, and the structures that anchor teeth to bone. Emdogain is used in conjunction with periodontal surgery.
