When you need to replace a missing tooth, there are two general alternatives to consider: You can choose traditional bridgework, or select the newer option of dental implants.  Both offer a solution that's reliable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. However,  there are a few important differences between the two systems. A fixed bridge is a dental restoration that's held in place by attachment to the adjacent natural teeth,which are referred to as abutments.  The tooth-replacement section , called a “pontic” spans the gap. Pontics require attachment to the abutments by either a metal frame, or today, a space age porcelain, to bridge the space from abutment to abutment.  The system works well, but there's a catch: Even a single-tooth replacement requires  a three-unit bridge — and healthy adjacent teeth must be  “prepared” by removing their ...

What is a Root Canal? at advanced Smiles Dentistry Your Tijuana Dentist For those who don’t know what a root canal is, it is the space within the root of a tooth which consists of the pulp chamber, the main canal(s), and other smaller canals. This area houses soft tissues such as the nerve, blood vessels, and living connective tissue. The sensory nerves carry signals to the brain and are the reason why you would feel hot/cold/pain sensations in your tooth, while the blood vessels provide nutrition to your pulp. These tissues are what makes your tooth “alive”.A root canal treatment (also referred to as a “root canal”) is the complete removal of the pulp tissue in your root canal and disinfection of the area. It is required when your pulp tissue becomes infected or inflamed; doing so controls the infection since all the pulp, including the disinfected tissues, would be removed.Because a root canal is a specialized dental procedure and can be qui...

Is there such a thing as quality dental accreditation abroad? Fortunately the answer is a resounding “yes” including certification by the American Dental Association. As far as quality is concerned, many dental tourists report that once they’re in the dentist’s chair, they can’t even tell they’re in a foreign country. The offices are modern, impeccably clean, and equipped with the latest dental equipment. In fact, the same dental products that are popular in the United States or Europe are usually available in any dentist’s office, regardless of the country. Language is not generally a barrier either, because dentists in other countries are quite accustomed to dental patients from the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia and other English-speaking countries. Often, they’ve actually studied in one of these countries themselves. Call now for your appointment! (619) 488-1557 www.advancedsmilesdentistry.com

Getting a Hollywood Smile for Less Thinking of saving a few bucks and enjoying nice vacation in Mexico? Nowadays many North Americans choose to visit Mexico and use low cost dental implants procedures. Many of Mexico dental practices have very high quality of services and prices are up to 70% cheaper than in USA or Canada. For the average American, Dental insurance can hardly be considered a commodity. Statistics show that less than sixty percent (60%) of Americans have medical insurance. Among those who can afford to pay insurance premiums, only two thirds have insurance policies which include dental coverage. This goes to show how adequate dental care is beyond the reach of the average United States citizen who cannot see a dentist. Clearly, comprehensive medical insurance is not the solution for Americans . Today, a more viable option would be to explore the possibility of coming to Tijuana. Dental tourism is a practical solution for those seeking to save ...
