Nobody really wants to live with missing teeth. So If your parents lost a tooth, they probably had only one good choice for its replacement: the three-unit fixed bridge. But today there's an even better option available  the dental implant. Why do we think dental implants are the best method yet found for tooth replacement? It's all about bone tissue. Even if you can't see a missing tooth, the bone in your jaw “knows” it's gone. Without the stimulation that teeth provide, the alveolar bone begins to resorb  a medical term meaning “melt away.” And that can lead to worse consequences. The bones in the jaw support facial structures like cheeks, lips and chin. As bone disappears, cheeks begin to sink in, lips lose their support, and eventually the lower third of the face shrinks, exaggerating the appearance of aging. Aside from esthetics, bone loss can also lead to problems with the gums, the bite, and other health and nutritional issues. But d...

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...
