Implants work by mimicking the structure of natural teeth. Like natural teeth, dental implants are secured in the jawbone. Successful dental implants become firmly embedded in the jaw, providing a chewing surface like that of natural teeth. Implants can replace one tooth or multiple teeth by depending on the circumstance. Please ask our doctors about this exciting procedure.

What is Grinding? Is my headache due to grinding?

I think I grind my teeth. Is this related to the headaches that I get in the morning and when I am stressed?

Probably. The way the muscles and joints work in your jaw, consistent grinding can cause some pain.

Does Oral Health = Heart Disease?

Heart disease may begin in your mouth, say researchers at Columbia University Medical Center. In a study of 657 adults, they took samples of oral plaque and measured carotid artery thickness, and indication of atherosclerosis. What they found: Those with the highest levels of bacteria that cause gum disease had the thickest arteries. Previous research has suggested a link between oral health and Heart Disease, but this is the first study to go inside the mouth and actually measure the amount of bacteria. The mouth may be a window to what’s happening in your body say’s study author Moise Desvarieux, an epidemiologist.
