Dental Implants and Sports-Related Trauma

Oral health professionals and patients agree that dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement, and many people who lose their teeth due to decay or periodontal problems will opt for that — and they usually want to act quickly.

The same will apply to patients whose trauma occurs as part of casual athletic activity — ordinary sports injuries that might occur during a game of softball, flag football, or tennis or while participating in activities like bicycling, jogging, or hiking.

The question of when and how to replace lost teeth gets more complicated, however, when players are involved in more serious sporting competitions either on an amateur or professional basis.

The Hockey Conundrum

The hockey goalie with a tooth knocked out is not just a stereotype, it’s a reality; some players may even consider a lost tooth a badge of honor.

Hockey pros often choose to live without one or more teeth for years, putting off implants until after retirement. The logic is clear. Why replace a tooth if it’s very possible it could get knocked out again? Many may choose bridgework that they can remove before playing and get implants later. Others live with problems associated with lost teeth, including difficulties eating and talking.

The problem is that, even when we’re young, lost teeth can start to have impacts that go beyond the cosmetic and practical problems most people associate with missing teeth. Lost teeth spur bone loss because losing the support of the root of a tooth deprives the jawbone of stimulation, leading to atrophy. While bridgework and dentures are better than nothing, they do not slow down bone loss and many experts fear they may accelerate it.

Dental implants, on the other hand, act like real teeth. Replacing the lost root and contacting the jawbone helps the body to continue maintaining bone. So, while hockey players typically retire at roughly 28 to 30 years of age, waiting for too much longer may put them at greater risk for jawbone atrophy.

Other Sports

Professional hockey players may have reason to delay getting implants for a few years but most other athletes will benefit from getting them sooner and not later. This is particularly true for committed amateurs who continue to play into their middle years and beyond with sports like soccer, softball, basketball, and bicycling. A modicum of caution should limit the chances of repeated dental trauma and, as we’ve said, there are significant risks attached to waiting too long.

The Price of Delaying Dental Implants

The most important reason to get oral implants is to stop bone loss. The long-term impacts of losing bone can be devastating as the jawbone deteriorates further. Just as bad or worse, patients can suffer facial collapse, which is the medical term for the sunken look you may be familiar with in older people with severe drug and alcohol problems.

Even so, we want you to think about the shorter-term impact; the potential price of delay in terms of time, money, and heartache is significant. That’s because patients with insufficient bone structure are not candidates for implants until they have first had oral surgery to provide supporting structure for the implant. This usually means an additional surgery, bone grafting.

Bone grafts typically involve using tissues from outside sources, such as cadaver bone, bovine bone, or a combination. However, the gold standard is considered to be the patient’s bone tissue, which can be obtained from various parts of the body. The obvious drawback here is that the procedure requires additional surgery to obtain the bone.

These are choices that patients and their implantologists can make together, considering all of the risks and benefits. On the other hand, if you act quickly enough, there is a good chance you won’t need the additional surgery

Need an Oral Implant? Why Wait?

Generally speaking, the quicker you act to get implants, the better off you are. Even if lightning strikes twice and another trauma later on causes the implant to come out, you will likely be better off than if you’d waited all the time, your bone tissues dwindling all the while.

Oral health aside, dental implants do have some important bonuses in terms of convenience in that they function almost exactly the same as natural teeth. This means no hassles with removing them for cleaning or if they become uncomfortable. Patients care for implants in the same way as they care for their other teeth – regular brushing and flossing. Moreover, believe it or not, people do sometimes leave dentures at places like restaurants or hotels. If you’re the kind of person who regularly has to worry about losing your wallet, keys, and smartphone, you might be relieved to know you don’t have to add another item to the list.

Finally, dental implants are widely considered the most attractive tooth replacement option and are custom-made to blend in visually with your other teeth. In cases where an entire row is missing, many patients take advantage of all-on-four dental implants, which handle a full row of teeth anchored by four implants with a single procedure. These procedures can provide a beautiful and healthy new smile in only a few hours.

The Straight Dope on Cannabis and Oral Health

Many of us thought it would never happen but cannabis is finally legal and an ordinary part of daily life, at least here in California. For many local adults, gummies and smokable products are as integrated into the Los Angeles lifestyle as $20.00 craft cocktails at high-end restaurants or cheap wine from Trader Joe’s.

As a leading dental office in the West Los Angeles area, Dr. Peiman Soleymani and his team at Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center are chiefly interested in how legal cannabis is impacting oral health. For starters, while perhaps less dangerous than alcohol, cannabis products are not harmless – no drug ever is. The pros of cannabis have been argued for decades now, including its medicinal uses, its calming effect, and its lack of physically addictive properties but it’s time to look at its oral health downside.

Dry Mouth and Lesions

Even very casual pot users are familiar with temporary “cotton mouth” whether smoking or using edibles. Saliva protects the mouth against harmful bacteria, so gingivitis and more severe gum illnesses pose a clear threat if dry mouth persists. Periodontal disease treatment may eventually be needed so the sooner it’s treated, the better.

A particular type of lesion is also associated with cannabis, though it’s not clear whether it’s only associated with smoked weed as opposed to edibles or sprays. Leukoplakia is a white or gray growth that appears on the gums, the floor of the mouth, the inside of the cheeks, and elsewhere. It's been associated with oral cancers, so please seek treatment right away if growths appear.

The Munchies!!

One of the primary medical uses of cannabis is to stimulate the appetite when people with health problems are not eating enough. Of course, most Americans suffer from the opposite problem. Put simply, ”the munchies” are one of the most well-known and immediate effects of marijuana consumption. While pot has done no harm to fast-food joints and junk food manufacturers, we all know that eating too many sweet/high-carb snacks is not great for our teeth or our waistline.

There’s an obvious solution to this problem which is to make sure plenty of low-calorie, low-sugar snacks are on hand while indulging – celery with seasoned salt or apples, for example. Since edibles are preferable healthwise, why not go with sugar-free and keto-friendly gummies? Failing that, all we can say is that a toothbrush is not heavy machinery; if you can remember to brush your teeth while high, you can do so safely.

Too Much is Always Too Much

While pot is not physically addictive it can become a crutch; perhaps most of us have known people who have used it too much at certain points in their lives. It might seem funny at times but then so do a lot of things that can harm us.

If Harold and Kumar or Cheech and Chong existed in the real world,* they’d likely be skipping brushing and flossing while also eating plenty of teeth-melting snacks; they’d likely have bad breath that might make them less fun to be around than they seem onscreen. There is plenty of data to show that people who use cannabis very regularly are more prone to a host of dental problems.

Real-life potheads who ignore their oral hygiene may suffer from problems that can cause teeth to become so compromised they must be extracted. If they are not replaced by dental implants, a devastating chain reaction in which bone loss spurs more gum disease can cause patients to lose entire rows of teeth.

Moderation is Always the Key

You’re likely an adult and we’re not here to tell you what to do. We all make choices and whether you’re using cannabis medicinally, recreationally, or maybe a little bit of both, the key is always moderation. Oral health and overall health can’t be separated, and keeping control of cannabis usage, like most other non-exercise recreational habits, is always crucial.

* Yes, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are real people but if they used as much pot as regularly as their comedic personas do, they’d be unknown stoners, not legendary comic actors.

Periodontal Illness, Dementia, the Chicken, and the Egg

Evidence has been accumulating in recent years pointing to possible connections between periodontal disease and various systemic illnesses including dementia and diabetes. While the connections are important, the information can be contradictory. It may bring to mind the ancient paradox about whether the egg or the chicken came first. (Technically, eggs long preceded chickens.)

As explained in a Medical News Today article from 2022, the evidence shows that many people with dementia have developed significant gum diseases. The question, however, is this: Since severe cognitive impairment causes people to neglect their oral health, leading to periodontal illness, is that the only connection? Or, has periodontal illness made sufferers more vulnerable to contracting serious cognitive ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease? Could the problem be what doctors call bidirectional: a vicious circle of cognitive impairment worsening self-care, making already present periodontal issues that much worse, leading to more dementia?

The Medical News article presents a lot of interesting data along with plenty of contradictions and caveats but it does make one clear recommendation that is just good common sense. If you are concerned about dealing with dementia in your later years, it makes sense to maintain good oral health habits and watch out for any possible periodontal issues.

Even if the causation all flows in a single direction and cognitive impairment leads to periodontal illness but not the other way around, the “worst” thing that can happen is that you may not have to deal with the pain and unpleasantness associated with periodontal problems on top of whatever health problems you wind up suffering as you age. The best outcome is that you’ll have helped prevent lost teeth and maybe dementia also. A twofer!

Protect Your Periodontal Health

Aging is inevitable but we make our middle and later years a lot more productive and enjoyable by preventing illnesses, including periodontal disease. Medical science is getting better and better at extending our lifespans despite our health problems. What many of us fail to realize, however, is that even if we recover from heart attacks, strokes, and other common health emergencies, recovery always means time spent in significant discomfort and may be only partial. Engaging in healthy behaviors and avoiding unhealthy habits can not only add years to our lives but also, as the old saying puts it, “life to our years.”

The longer you can protect your teeth and gums while you are reasonably healthy, the less vulnerable they will be when your health starts to decline. Painful oral health problems will be one less difficulty for you and your family.

Stay on Top of Your Oral Health

Dr. Peiman Soleymani is one of the nation’s leading periodontists and implantologists as well as a widely published expert in his field. His team of expert oral health care professionals at Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center has helped countless people from throughout the Los Angeles area and beyond recover from a wide variety of periodontal illnesses as well as helping to provide dental implants.

Our advice on protecting your health is clear though mostly very familiar: Floss, brush twice daily for at least two minutes with a fluoridated toothpaste, see an oral health professional twice yearly, and watch out for the signs of periodontal illness – including bleeding, painful gums (even just a pink toothbrush is cause for concern), and persistent bad breath (halitosis). When these issues appear, it’s time to consult with the best oral health professional you can find.

Understanding the Early Warning Signs of Gum Diseases

Today’s periodontal disease treatment is highly effective, safer, and more comfortable than ever. The only problem is that too many people fail to realize they have gum disease until their case has progressed. Problems can be addressed but, as with most medical issues, the longer a patient waits to seek treatment, the more involved and expensive the procedures can become.

Here at Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center, we often tell people to contact a dental health professional at the first sign of the following:

  • Bleeding gums
  • Swollen or red gums
  • Halitosis (bad breath)
  • Receding gums
  • Pain
  • Sores
  • Pus in gums/teeth
  • Shifting teeth and new gaps appearing

Some of these issues are self-evident but some can use added explanation. We’ll answer important questions about a few of them below.

Can I Have Bleeding Gums Without Knowing It?

People often ignore -- or may not even notice -- a pink toothbrush. Unless the toothpaste is also slightly pink or a patient just ate red or purple food, this is a warning that should be addressed immediately. While bleeding gums can be caused by severe vitamin deficiencies or a serious illness, they can sometimes go away on their own after a few days. Nevertheless, please exercise caution and contact an oral healthcare specialist sooner than later. More profuse bleeding needs to be addressed even more rapidly.

If you are a smoker, however, please be aware that smoking shrinks blood vessels and can actually prevent troubled gums from bleeding. This is not a plus! It can hide a serious problem. People who smoke need to be extra vigilant regarding their gums and overall oral health.

How Do I Know if My Bad Breath is a Periodontal Issue?

The only way may be to see an oral healthcare specialist. Yes, we all have unpleasant breath some of the time but if it doesn’t go away after brushing and flossing, then you are suffering from halitosis.

If you also have a dry mouth, that may very well be the culprit and you should contact an oral health specialist or your family doctor. Tobacco products can cause dry mouth; combined with nasty residue, it can lead to the “smoker’s breath” that has contributed to the end of more than one relationship.

Halitosis can also be related to acid-reflux disorder (GERD); if you’re also suffering from heartburn then an appointment with a gastroenterologist should be in store. If nothing above seems to apply to you, then it’s time to contact an oral health specialist.

Sometimes friends and family are afraid to break the news about nasty breath. If someone close to you has persistent bad breath and appears to be doing standard oral hygiene, you’re not doing them a favor by keeping mum. Gently let them know they need to see a doctor soon – and also that a periodontal problem is nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s a health issue just like any other.

What about Pain and Possible Gum Disease?

Pain is typically not a major early symptom of gum disease, which is one reason people tend to miss it. Just as people who suffer from diabetes and many cancers may feel little or no pain early on in the illness's progression, periodontal diseases can be silent destroyers. The best prevention is good oral hygiene including regular checkups.

How Does Pus Appear?

Even the word “pus” on its own is kind of gross but it does unfortunately sometimes appear in the mouth. In some cases it may smell and taste as bad as it sounds but, in other cases, patients may miss this warning sign. Pus will typically emerge from a periodontal abscess – something like a pimple around the teeth and gums. While these signs may very unpleasant and hard to miss in some cases, they may just as often go unnoticed. Please stay on the lookout and contact an oral health care specialist if you see any signs of a possible abscess.

How Do I Know if Mouth Sores are a Periodontal Issue?

There’s no sure way. Mouth sores can emerge for multiple reasons. If you have any other warning signs, you definitely should contact a professional and let them know about the sores. If sores are the only problem evident but are persisting, then you need to address them with a doctor.

Getting Started with Periodontal Care

As we’ve stated several times above, if you have any warning signs of periodontal issues, you need to see an oral healthcare professional soon. If you live in the Los Angeles area, your best bet is likely Dr. Peiman Soleymani of Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center. He is among the nation’s top periodontists, has written numerous scholarly articles, and has taught courses at both the USC and UCLA dental schools.

The doctor and his team of caring and compassionate oral health professionals are here to provide you with the highest level of care for gingivitis and periodontitis, including laser gum surgery when called for. If gum issues progress and one or more teeth need to be extracted, Dr. Soleymani is also a leader in the field of implantology and can provide a dental implant when needed.

Why Covid Makes Periodontal Care More Urgent

Should Anyone Still be Worried about Seeing a Periodontist?

No. First, oral health care from a reputable practitioner is extremely safe for everyone, including those who may be especially vulnerable. Second, the ongoing pandemic makes it more urgent than ever for those who need it to obtain first-rate periodontal disease treatment as quickly as possible.

What’s Changed Since the Early Days of the Pandemic?

There was a great deal of uncertainty during the early days of the Covid-19 crisis and the priority was slowing the spread of the virus.

With offices limiting visitors to more urgent cases, many people put off routine dental care and may have ignored issues. Even now that offices have long ago developed protocols and are conducting normal business too many people are delaying oral health care indefinitely. That is never a good idea.

Yes, Covid-19 is still very serious business, especially for more vulnerable individuals. Those who are elderly and in poor health, immunocompromised, and who are unvaccinated for any reason have to show great care. However, while Covid-19 was a reason to temporarily put off routine oral health care in 2020, it is now a reason to prioritize periodontal treatment in particular.

Is There a Connection Between Periodontal Issues and Covid Mortality?

Quite likely, yes. We have known for a long time that periodontal problems may increase the threat of many systemic health issues. It also stands to reason that, like any other stressor, periodontal problems may negatively impact our immune system and make us more likely to pick up Covid-19, especially with current strains becoming more and more communicable. But there is more specific evidence.

A recent article in The Lancet looks into a 2021 Indian study that helped to confirm that people with issues such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease had higher Covid mortality rates. Taking a separate tack, The Lancet looked into patients in the study who had periodontal diseases. The article's authors found that people who had been found to have advanced periodontal problems appeared to have a higher mortality rate. “Patients with severe periodontitis are at much higher odds of requiring hospital admission and ventilation, developing COVID-19 pneumonia, and dying after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with COVID-19-positive patients with healthy gums,” wrote The Lancet.

Caring for Periodontal Problems and Limiting the Risk of Covid-19

Regardless of your status regarding Covid, it is more important than ever to maintain excellent dental hygiene. Bleeding gums, halitosis (bad breath), and pain are signs of potentially serious problems and be looked at as quickly as possible. Even seemingly minor signs, like a pink toothbrush indicating slight bleeding, should be looked at immediately.

The Highest Level of Care with Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center

Our founder, Dr. Peiman Soleymani, is one of the nation’s leading periodontists. When patients present with gingivitis or its more advanced cousin, periodontitis, Dr. Soleymani is a master of such state-of-the-art treatments as laser gum surgery as well as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) and other highly effective treatments.

Whether you are concerned about your gums or want to look into immediate dental implants with one of the nation’s most respected implantologists, Dr. Soleymani and his team want to hear from you. To get started, simply call the number below or visit our contact page.

What Do Dental Implants Really Offer?

If you’re researching dental implants in Los Angeles or anywhere else, you’ll notice that many oral health care professionals tend to focus exclusively on their functionality. But that's not the whole story.

Yes, implants are much more than prosthetics such as dentures and bridgework. They fully replace lost or extracted teeth, offer many oral health benefits, and generally do a great job at it – but, as a patient, you may have other concerns directly impacting your quality of life.

The fact of the matter is that, yes, dental implants have many benefits that have pleasant immediate impacts along with all of those important long terms ones. They allow patients to maintain a beautiful, attractive smile that’s nearly indistinguishable from a person’s original teeth – and they do this with a great deal more convenience than older types of dental prosthetics.

Our Smile Matters

As much as we might like to pretend that looks don’t matter, the reality is that our appearance plays an important role in nearly every aspect of our lives, both socially and in terms of our careers. Just as important, how we perceive our looks directly affects most peoples’ level of confidence. After all, nearly anyone would likely feel at least some embarrassment if a tooth is lost or extracted and not replaced – and the truth is that there will be some people who may make false assumptions about you based on even one visibly missing tooth.

Dental implants offer the very best permanent solution to this problem.

It’s true that dentures and bridgework are tried and true replacements for teeth and are much better than nothing. At the same time, they require special care, offer fewer health benefits, and may not be quite as attractive. Dental implants, however, are the gold standard solution in terms of appearance, oral health, and convenience. Patients care for them exactly the same way as they should be caring for their natural teeth.

Your Los Angeles Periodontist Can Spot the Signs of Gum Disease

Gum disease can’t be ignored. While its early signs may not seem like urgent matters, diseases of the gums can quickly become a serious threat to your oral health and overall wellbeing. Fortunately, seeing a periodontist – i.e., a gum health specialist – can put you on the right back on the path to healthy gums and teeth.

Why Is Treating Gum Disease So Important?

In terms of oral health, advanced gum disease (medically known as periodontitis or periodontal disease) can cause the progression of bone loss leading to mobile and misaligned teeth. If gum disease is left unchecked, one or multiple teeth can be lost as result. Worse: there is increasing evidence that gum disease is associated with life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.

A Periodontist Can Spot the Early Signs of Gum Disease and Treat It

Some of the signs of periodontal disease are obvious: bleeding, halitosis (persistent bad breath), swollen, and/or recessed gums; chronic pain or discomfort in the jaw, heightened tooth sensitivity, and more. However, gum disease can also develop without the patient noticing for weeks or even months.

A periodontist can spot the less noticeable signs of gum disease and prescribe an early course of treatment that may prevent the disease from progressing. If these preliminary treatments fail to eliminate the problem, more advanced methods such as laser gum surgery can be explored too. In either case, an outstanding periodontist is well-equipped to handle even the more severe gum illnesses.

Do You Need a Periodontist in Los Angeles?

If you’re looking for a periodontist in Los Angeles, Dr. Peiman Soleymani of Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center is your best option. One of the foremost periodontal experts in the Greater Los Angeles area and well beyond, Dr. Soleymani has the experience, knowledge, and overall expertise to make sure your gums are properly treated so you can get the most out of your life.

Tooth Extraction: When the Last Resort is the Only Solution

Tooth extraction isn’t what patients hope for when they’re suffering from severe tooth decay and pain. Moreover, oral health professional will typically try to do everything possible to save a tooth when possible with standard treatments such as fillings and root canals. However, there are many cases where the tooth can’t be saved and extraction becomes a very necessary step towards better oral health.

Why Is Tooth Extraction Required for Some Patients?

Tooth extraction is usually one part of a larger treatment to replace a problem tooth, ideally with a dental implant. Once the problem area is prepared, implants can restore lost function with maximum convenience and an appearance that few people can distinguish from natural teeth.

Pluses of Having an Implantology Specialist Perform a Tooth Extraction

Whereas most dentists who perform dental implant procedures are generalists, Dr. Peiman Soleymani is a nationally respected Board Certified Dental Implant Surgeon as well as a leading periodontist (gum specialist). An expert implantologist will know exactly how to perform a tooth extraction in a manner that minimizes pain and discomfort while ensuring that the site will be preserved for future treatments (e.g. dental implants). Of course, as a periodontist, he also knows how to ensure that the procedure promotes optimal gum health, which is important not only for the health of your mouth but for your overall systemic health.

Los Angeles Tooth Extraction Performed by the Best Periodontist

Tooth Extraction: A Necessary Step on the Way to Dental Implants

There are many reasons people seek tooth extraction in Beverly Hills at our offices. Very often they’ve been referred for treatment of severe tooth decay, periodontal disease, fractured teeth, an abscess in the gums, and many other maladies that can endanger a tooth.

It’s important to know that tooth extraction doesn’t mean you have to get dentures. If the teeth next to the lost tooth are solid, strong, and have already been prepared for crowns, a bridge may be a viable option. However, most times when adjacent teeth do not have crowns or other types of restoration, your best option would be having a dental implant.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are oral prosthetics that are fully secured to a patient’s jawbone and capped with a dental crown. Dental implants won’t slip like dentures and are generally more robust than traditional bridges.

Adding dental implants in a patient’s mouth who has been missing several teeth offers long-term benefits. These benefits are not only more comfortable and convenient but typically improve the prognosis of the other teeth and help them to last longer. Also, the placement of the implant will prevent bone loss in the local area where the implant is placed. This offers an important anti-aging benefit by providing a fuller appearance for the face and lips.

Are There Benefits for Getting Dental Implants from a Periodontist?

Yes. Periodontists specialize in gum health, so they’re intimately familiar with the bone and gum structure beneath your teeth. This gives periodontists who offer implants an enhanced ability to evaluate a patient’s gums to make sure the affected area is ready for the procedure. If minor oral surgery is needed to ready the area for implants, they are experts in that area as well.

Having proper gum and bone foundation will improve the prognosis of the implant and its longevity. In the front region, where teeth and gums are most visible and where patients are typically most concerned with cosmetic issues, periodontists can help match the adjacent teeth when it comes to implant placement for the most natural-looking and attractive results possible.

Another benefit of visiting a periodontist for dental implants is convenience. Tooth extraction, evaluation to ensure the area can support implants, the implantation procedure itself, as well as any follow-up appointments, can all be performed by the same doctor at the same office.

Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center

Led by nationally respected board-certified periodontist and implant specialist Dr. Peiman Soleymani, Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center offers a wide range of services for both dental implants and general periodontics.

All-on-Four Dental Implants: Their Benefits

All-on-four dental implants are a relatively newer dental implant technique that makes use of four, strategically placed dental implants rather than a dozen or more implants to replace a full arch of teeth. It’s easy to see how this procedure is more streamlined, meaning patients are often able to leave with a whole new set of teeth in the entire arch on the same day.

If you’re looking for a set of dental implants in Los Angeles to replace a lost set of full upper or lower teeth, the all-on-four technique could be your best option.

All-on-Four Dental Implants Are Superior to Dentures and Dental Bridges

Dentures only restore about 10% of your natural teeth’s lost function. They’re also prone to slipping while eating and talking. Dental bridges are significantly better than dentures since they tend to be more stable. However, they have limitations in terms of the number of crowns they can support and they’re not an ideal solution for replacing an entire set of teeth, especially in a full arch situation.

Comparatively, all-on-four dental implants restore approximately 80–85% of lost function—a substantial improvement over dentures and a marked improvement over dental bridges.

A Row of All-on-Four Dental Implants Can Be Installed in One Visit

If a patient requires full teeth replacement, traditional dental implants may require several visits for the entire set of teeth. A single set of all-on-four dental implants can be installed in one office visit and therefore can be more cost-effective. Also, since fewer implants are emplaced per arch, patients generally require less time to heal.

Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center is one of the few locations in Southern California that offers all-on-four dental implants. For more information, visit our contact page or call the number on your screen.

Don’t Ignore the Signs of Gum Disease!

Gum disease in its early stages isn’t always noticeable, especially if you’re not actively looking for the signs. However, it’s important to recognize the symptoms of gum disease to prevent an otherwise minor infection from developing into a painful, severe condition. As a leading Los Angeles periodontist, Dr. Soleymani and the rest of our team have seen exactly what can happen when gum illnesses are allowed to progress. The key is to catch problems early before they develop into the kind of cases that can endanger teeth and cause other serious problems.

What Are the Signs of Gum Disease?

Here’s what to look out for:

  • Shifting or loose teeth, which can cause changes to your bite or how dentures, retainers, or night guards fit
  • Gums that bleed when brushing, flossing, or eating — even slightly pink bristles on your toothbrush are reason enough to contact a dental professional immediately.
  • A receding gum line, which can make your teeth appear longer
  • Persistent bad breath, even after brushing
  • Pus in between teeth and gums
  • Sores, particularly along the gum line
  • Swollen and red gums

What Are the Treatments for Gum Disease?

Treatments for gum disease generally depend on the severity of the case.

Scaling and root planing – often referred to as a deep cleaning – is typically the first step. The procedure involves removing the plaque and tartar from teeth, smoothing out their surfaces to make it harder for contaminants to cling to teeth in the future, clean out any exposed pockets where bacteria can fester, and prescribe antimicrobials to help in the healing process.

Oftentimes, this treatment is enough; however, more advanced treatment options and/or supplementary procedures such as laser gum therapy, gum surgery, gum grafting, and even dental implants may also be necessary if teeth need to be extracted.

Dental Implants: The Best Tooth Replacement Option

Dental implants are, without a doubt, the gold standard for tooth replacement. While dentures and other methods are much better than nothing, their benefits are limited and there are definite issues with convenience. For example, in the case of patients needing full dentures, the prosthesis can slip out of place when eating or talking.

Dental implant options, however, may vary in cost but they typically offer enormous benefits in terms of function, comfort, and aesthetics. For one thing, the ease of chewing with implant-based prostheses can be many times that of a full denture. Many of the sore spots and discomfort caused by a standard full denture moving against gums and jaws can be eliminated with an implant-supported prosthesis.

For patients who have lost all their teeth in one arch (row), there are two options:

  1. A removable prosthesis that sits on two or four dental implants and is removable. The advantages of this option are affordability and ease when it comes to keeping the prosthesis clean. This may be a wonderful choice for patients with a history of severe periodontal disease.
  2. A fixed prosthesis that sits on four, six, or more dental implants. This option is extremely desirable for patients who do not want a removable prosthesis and can keep up with the necessary daily oral hygiene.

Patients may desire (or need) dental implants for several reasons. Tooth loss due to trauma such as an accident is one obvious example, but patients who are suffering from deep tooth decay without enough healthy tooth structure remaining often turn to implants for optimal oral health.

Preserving Oral Health with Dental Implants

An important advantage of dental implants compared with removable denture prosthesis without dental implants (i.e., standard dentures) is added support and increase in the longevity of the remaining natural teeth.

Many times, a plain partial denture anchored to the remaining natural teeth is a step on the way to a full denture. Compared to the same situation, where dental implants are placed to add additional functional support, the remaining natural teeth generally last much longer. Additionally, the stimulation from the dental implants to replace natural teeth will help preserve the jaw bone that would otherwise be lost due to resorption.

A Periodontist in Los Angeles to fight Gum Disease

Severe gum disease can necessitate searching for a periodontist in Los Angeles. The hallmarks of this common ailment typically include swollen and bleeding gums, pain, and persistent bad breath (halitosis) among other symptoms.

What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease is caused by bacteria buildup in the mouth, which inflames the gums. Over time, this can damage the gums, teeth, and even the bone structure in your jaw, leading to a multitude of other complications. Risk factors like smoking, family history of smoking, and diabetes can also make gum disease more likely.

The good news is that gum disease is largely preventable, even if you’re at increased risk of developing it. Proper dental hygiene, including brushing your teeth after every meal, flossing, and using a mouth wash regularly can minimize bacterial growth in your mouth and limit the chances of gum disease emerging.

Just as important, however, is staying on top of your oral health with regular oral health evaluations. Gum disease can progress significantly before you notice it. Even without symptoms, gum disease can develop undetected. An oral health professional such as a periodontist can spot the otherwise hidden signs of gum disease and prescribe an effective treatment before the issues ever have the chance to cause pain or damage your teeth and gums.

Contact Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center

Dr. Peiman Soleymani is not only one of the nation’s most respected periodontal experts, but he is also a leading expert in dental implants – the gold standard solution for replacing teeth that have been extracted, distracted, lost, or badly damaged.

Full Mouth Dental Implants: Reset Your Smile

Full mouth dental implants, such as implant-supported full-bridges and implant-supported dentures, provide patients with a “reset” button that allows them to rediscover a beautiful, healthy smile if their natural teeth have fallen into disrepair.

Why Full Mouth Dental Implants Instead of Traditional Dentures?

In the 20th century, the go-to treatment for a severely unhealthy oral cavity sometimes included extractions and dentures. While traditional dentures provide patients the ability to eat and speak after losing all or most teeth, they are not without drawbacks: dentures can slip, affect the way you speak, and do not typically carry a natural appearance.

Full mouth dental implants fix all of these concerns with a permanent solution that will not shift or slide while speaking or eating. Full mouth implants function very similarly to natural teeth,  with all or most patients finding that they are far more comfortable compared to traditional dentures.

Additionally, full mouth implants are better for bone health in the jaw because they act as a stimulating force that drives bone tissue generation. In comparison, traditional dentures do not typically provide this stimulation on the jaw bone, which can actually cause the jaw bone to shrink over time. This can create malformation in addition to a number of other potential complications.

Dr. Peiman Soleymani is a leading periodontist and dental implant specialist in Southern California.

What Does a Periodontist Do?

Whereas you might visit a dentist for tooth pain, a periodontist specializes in treatments for your gums.

Your home won’t survive long if the foundation is decaying, and the same goes for your teeth as they relate to the gums.

As it happens, Dr. Soleymani is also a dental implant specialist and is, therefore, able to handle all aspects of the implant process.

Fighting Gum Disease

Of course, one of the chief concerns of a periodontist is treating gum diseases such as gingivitis and its more severe relative, periodontitis. If you are suffering from such symptoms as bleeding gums (even just a slightly pink toothbrush) or chronic bad breath (halitosis), it is important to see a skilled oral health professional as soon as possible

Q&As about Tooth Extraction and Dental Implants

While there is no substitute for a personal consultation with Dr. Peiman Soleymani, we’ve put together a few answers to a few of the most common questions about dental implants that we have received at Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center.

 

How soon after tooth extraction can you have an implant?

As our center offers same-day dental implants, Dr. Soleymani can emplace a patient’s dental implant immediately after tooth extraction. Every case is different and a thorough evaluation to provide the most optimal result should be done first, however. For some cases, a step by step approach will achieve the best result and it might take several months to complete the whole process. However, in many other cases, immediate implant placement may be the best option for the patient.

 

What happens if you don’t get an implant after tooth extraction?

For each case, alternative options should be discussed. Options such as a bridge using the adjacent teeth or a removable partial denture will be discussed depending on the conditions of the remaining teeth. However, based on evidence-based research and our experience, dental implant therapy seem to be the superior choice for most cases.

 

Can dental implants be done in one day?

Yes, immediate dental implants are available whenever medically appropriate. Many patients opt for same-day implants because it cuts down on their overall recovery time and provides a more convenient experience. For patients well enough to receive same-day dental implants, there is little or no increased risk for complications.

Los Angeles Dental Implants That Patients Love

Los Angeles dental implants through Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center offer powerful solutions for difficult oral health problems. Implants are root-shaped structures that support realistic and highly durable prosthetics. They not only help restore beautiful smiles but also work to maintain the health and function of the mouth.

While dentures and bridgework can be extremely helpful, dental implants are better at solving long-term issues associated with missing teeth. Over time, lost teeth cause the underlying bone structures to degrade, necessitating further treatment. Dental implants are the only form of tooth replacement that can actually prevent bone loss.

A Simple and Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

A dental implant is typically a more long term solution for a missing tooth when compared to traditional bridges. Implants stay in place while talking, eating, and sleeping by bonding to the patient’s jawbone and becoming a foundation for custom crowns that look and feel just like natural teeth. The upkeep of dental implants is extremely important in maintaining the gum and bone health for long term preservation of dental implants. Therefore, Dr. Soleymani and his team of expert hygienists recommend regular cleanings for dental implants. If you have one or several dental implants already, Dr. Soleymani and his team can help you preserve your dental implants in the best shape possible over the long hall.

For Dental Implants in Los Angeles, Visit Dr. Soleymani

Finding quality dental implants in Los Angeles is made easy with services offered by Dr. Peiman Soleymani of Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center. As a board-certified periodontist and widely respected dental implant specialist, Dr. Soleymani is a leader in his field with the hard-earned expertise required to provide oral healthcare at the highest level.

Why You Might Want Dental Implants

Aside from the fact that a dental implant fills the gap left behind by a missing or extracted tooth for comfort and proper nutrition, dental implants offer a host of benefits over other types of prosthetics. Adding dental implants where there are missing teeth helps with the distribution of force. Many times when there are missing teeth, the adjacent teeth become more mobile. However, dental implants help with stability by reducing the mobility of other teeth. In a way, dental implants improve the prognosis of other teeth.

Dental Implants are Secure

Dental implants are essentially permanent. Unlike dentures, a dental implant won’t slip or fall out while eating or speaking, and their care is exactly the same as for natural teeth. And unlike traditional dental bridges that are attached to neighboring teeth, dental implants aren’t likely to break from their moorings.

Dental Implants Stimulate Bone Tissue Production

Implants also mimic the stimulation that natural teeth place on underlying bone tissue. As such, the risk of jaw shrinkage is significantly mitigated by dental implants. No other form of dental prosthetic addresses this very important issue.

Moreover, our office in Beverly Hills offers the same level of friendly and professional customer service that our community is known for.

Why Dental Implants are so Important

Dental implants address concerns beyond convenience and the appearance of your teeth. In many cases, placement of dental implants in the proper position, would help with the distribution of chewing forces and help retain adjacent teeth which otherwise would be lost because of lack of support.  Moreover, natural teeth provide natural stimulation to the underlying bone structure in your jaw. By removing this natural stimulation, the bone structure will cease the production of bone tissue leading to both lower bone density and shrinkage. Dental implants mimic the stimulation provided by natural teeth, allowing the jaw structure to retain a healthy form.

Beverly Hills Periodontics & Dental Implant Center

Patients receiving dental implants from Dr. Soleymani are receiving the best periodontal care available in the area. Dr. Soleymani can help improve your oral health and rehabilitate your loss of teeth with any issue you might be facing.

Dr. Peiman Soleymani is one of the most renowned periodontists in the area, building his outstanding reputation through years of successful procedures and having helped countless patients restore both the look and feel of their teeth.

Types of Dental Implants

Searching Los Angeles for dental implants may bring up results for a few different kinds of dental prosthetics. While there’s no real substitute for a live consultation to know which type of implant or supplemental procedure is best suited for any given situation, this list provides some general information about our offerings:

  • Single Dental Implant – As the name implies, a single dental implant replaces a single lost or extracted tooth. Beyond aesthetics and functionality, dental implants also seal open wounds or pockets in the oral cavity while also providing stimulation on the underlying bone tissue to prevent jaw shrinkage.
  • Same-Day Dental Implants – Our advanced technology, techniques, and skills allow us to perform dental implant operations as efficiently as possible. This means patients need less recovery time and can return to their normal lives sooner.
  • Tooth Extraction – Teeth that are experiencing severe decay must be extracted to halt the spread of infection. Once a tooth is extracted and the site is ready, an implant can then be installed.
  • Augmentation Procedures – Sometimes it is necessary to alter the surrounding tissues and bone structures to accommodate dental implants. This is always done with patient safety in mind, as insufficient bone density can compromise an implant leading to a break and further complications.
