Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 7, 2006 ?-

Recent promotions of one-day dental implant treatments have generated tremendous interest from prospective patients. While it is often possible to complete implant treatment much faster than before, Elmwood Dental Restoration and Implant Center cautions that one-day treatment is not feasible for most patients.

Dental implant treatment has traditionally been completed in a series of steps over a period of several months. This allows for integration of the implant into the patient?s jawbone before it is subjected to the forces of normal chewing. Studies have documented a 98% success rate for implants placed using traditional treatment protocols.

Thanks to advances in the design and construction of dental implants and the development of new treatment protocols, implants can often be completed much faster. Depending on the patient?s treatment goals and general dental health, Elmwood Dental Restoration and Implant Center can now complete treatment in just a few weeks for many patients. According to Elmwood prosthodontist Dr. Frank LaMar, Jr., ?The prospect of new teeth in a single appointment is very appealing, but it?s a bit misleading. It?s not risk-free, and it?s not realistic for most patients.?

Factors determining whether rapid implant treatment is appropriate for a particular patient include:

1)The patient?s general dental health: To ensure success, the patient must have sufficient healthy bone for complete implant integration. Pre-implant bone grafting may be required in some cases.

2)Location of the implant site: Eating exerts significantly more force on rear molars than on the front teeth. Faster implant treatment is typically not recommended for molars.

Elmwood further cautions patients to be skeptical of claims that they will be able to eat right after surgery. To ensure complete integration of the implant into the jawbone, patients must eat a soft diet for some period of time and should expect a period of dietary limitations ? perhaps as long as several months — after implant treatment.

Prospective patients should also be aware that one-day implant treatment can have a higher risk of failure. Some research indicates success rates as low as 80% for same-day implant treatment, vs. 98% for traditional implant treatment protocols.

Dr. LaMar recommends that patients weigh the pros and cons of rapid implant treatment. ?Discuss your goals, your lifestyle and preferences with your dentist before deciding on a treatment plan. Ask your dentist about success rates for the various treatment options. If your goal is to have strong, healthy teeth for the rest of your life, the fastest treatment may not be the best way to achieve that.?

Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry Offers Safe Sedation Dentistry Through Strategic Partnership

Washington D.C. Cosmetic Dentist Office Partners with Horizon Anesthesiologists to Offer Full Sedation Dentistry without Safety Concerns

Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 2, 2008

Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry announces its strategic partnership with Horizon Anesthesia, which will allow them to offer their Washington, DC cosmetic dentistry patients full sedation dentistry without the safety risks that are sometimes associated with the administration of anesthesia. Through this partnership, a board-certified anesthesiologist from Horizon Anesthesia would be present in Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry’s cutting edge Washington, DC dentist office for all patients that opt for deep sedation dentistry.

The Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry has long been offering semi-sedative options to their Washington, DC cosmetic dentistry patients, but did not offer full sedation because of the risks that are sometimes associated with the administration of anesthesia. By partnering with Horizon Anesthesia and having a board-certified anesthesiologist “on staff” for deep sedation dentistry patients, each cosmetic sedation dentist at Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry can offer deep sedation while they perform their cosmetic dental procedures without the risks associated with inexperienced administration of anesthesia. This service will also benefit general Washington, DC dental patients who are looking for safe sedation dentistry in the Washington, DC area.

“This strategic alliance with Horizon will allow us to practice sedation dentistry much more safely than other offices that choose to do it themselves after simply taking a course for a few weeks,” said Michael Pollowitz, DDS at Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. “We will have a board certified anesthesiologist in our office, to ensure that any patient considering sedation dentistry can be extra comfortable knowing they do not need to worry about their safety.”

Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry provides the most cutting edge cosmetic dental procedures available, with an emphasis on the comfort and relaxation of their patients. Their cosmetic dentist office features luxury, spa-like amenities with the goal of making every cosmetic dentistry patient as comfortable as possible. The cosmetic dentists at Washington Center for Cosmetic Dentistry specialize in dental restoration procedures such as porcelain dental veneers, cutting-edge teeth whitening with Brite Smile, dental implant restoration, and more.
