Dental Implant

Why should I consider getting dental implants?

​​

  • If you have missing teeth or remove teeth, dental implants can help replace these teeth without harming adjacent teeth. In comparison, when you get dental bridges, the dentist has to remove some of the adjacent tooth structure to place the bridge. This leaves less of your natural teeth and increases the chance of further dental work in the future.

​

  • If you currently wear partial or complete dentures, you also will likely be more comfortable with implants. One of the main reasons that people feel discomfort from dentures is because dentures need contact with both your hard and soft tissue to be stable. This causes lots of sore spots and pain. Dental implants feel more like your natural teeth – eliminating the soreness and increasing stability.

Sedation

Sedation Dentistry

Understanding Sedation Dentistry
The three common types of sedation in dentistry are:

​​

  • Inhalation sedation, also known as “laughing gas” or “happy gas.” Often, the dentist will also provide a local anesthetic with laughing gas to avoid any pain.

​

  • Oral sedation, which involves pills or liquid taken through the mouth. The medication allows patients to enter a state of total relaxation during treatment. Usually, patients also receive an injection of local anesthetic, as well.

​

  • Intravenous (IV) sedation sedatives administered directly into the blood-stream through a vein for the deepest level of sedation without general anesthesia. If you choose oral or IV sedation, a responsible companion must accompany you to and from the visit. Also, you will need to avoid eating, drinking and any medication by mouth for at least 6 hours ahead of this treatment. Some patients, such as diabetes patients who takes insulin, will need to get a medical consult with their doctor to check if they can skip insulin for the surgery day. Before any dental procedures commence, the sedating effects of the medicine will cause the patient to become drowsy and relaxed. The dental team will attach the patient to a monitor so that the dentist can keep track of vital signs. At the completion of the dental procedures, patients will be allowed to recover from the effects of the sedation before leaving the office with a friend or relative. Patients can resume normal activities within the next 12 to 24 hours, but someone should stay with them for the first few hours at home.

Why implant

Why choose Carrollton Dentistry for implants?

​​

  • We value quality at reasonable prices – not the cheapest price. We use high quality materials, partner with dental labs who share our values, take the time we need to give you the best result, and put your oral health as our top priority over cheap deals or big profits.

  • We use the most recent and proven technology, 3D digital implant placement, to guarantee the most accurate, fast surgery and the least invasive method to improve your comfort.

  • We don’t believe implants are right for everyone. If you are healthy in general, implants can be a good solution to fill missing teeth. However, implants are not ideal solutions for every case. We need to consider your lifestyle and medical history to make your implants most successful. That is why you need well-trained dentists who are able to pick right cases instead of pushing all patients towards implant treatments. Dr. Song and Dr. Lee are active faculty one of the leading implant companies in the world, and they are immersed in current research on implants.

You can tell the difference of our team’s confidence level when you visit us.

Night-guards for Bruxism

  • Bruxism (more commonly referred to as habitual teeth grinding) occurs across all age ranges and for a variety of different reasons, from daily stress to a misaligned bite. A majority of patients will only experience it while sleeping, which may leave them unaware as to why they’re experiencing jaw pain, worn-down tooth surfaces, and other concerning symptoms. If our dentists discover indications of bruxism, we will recommend a custom-made night-guard for optimal smile protection. This durable device can be worn comfortably during rest, preventing the rows of teeth from meeting in harmful ways.

​

​

Sport Guards

  • Sports-related injuries to the mouth and jaw are some of the most common injuries incurred by athletes. Our goal is to help minimize your chances of a sports-related injury to your smile. Be sure to ask Dr. Song and Dr. Lee about sport guards at your next appointment — GO TEAM!

Kids’ dentistry

Why choose Carrollton Dentistry for your kids?

​​

  • You can get quality service at lower prices. Typically, it can be a good idea to bring your kids to pediatric dentists (specialists) to check their teeth regularly, rather than to general dentists who may be less experienced and not confident in dealing with kids. However, it can also be very expensive to see specialists regularly. We can offer you a happy medium: We have trained with pediatric dentists and are able to handle general dental needs for children (check-ups, sealants, cleanings, simple fillings or crowns), and we know when to refer back to the specialists for specific care.

  • We are parents, too. We understand what its like to take your children in for care, the challenges that come with managing kids’ behavior, and the advantages of being able to get all your family’s needs met in one office. We are able to offer customized care that is tailored to your specific needs.
