How do eating disorders affect my teeth Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry

 

It’s very important that if you have or had an eating disorder condition you take special care of the state of your teeth. More than 10 million people in America are affected by eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia and obesity and each of these diseases affects your body and oral health differently:

• Anorexia: This disease can weaken teeth and bones, even causes xerostomia and osteoporosis. It also causes tooth decay due to dehydration.
• Bulimia: When you induce binges and then purges, you can hurt your teeth due to the acids that come from the stomach. This causes loss of pigmentation and resistance. Eventually all the teeth could be lost.
• Obesity: This is characterized by weak control of hunger, it is a disorder mixed with anxiety and depression. You could have cavities if you do not clean your teeth properly. This is the least harmful disorder for the teeth, but that does not mean it is better, because overeating is dangerous to overall health. Some bulimics use dentures and some anorexic patients may need them.

The best thing to do is have a balanced diet full of calcium, vitamins, minerals and proteins. We recommend you follow the instructions of doctors, psychologists and dentists. Some of the solutions we can provide to patients who’s teeth are affected by eating disorders and have decayed dental pieces could be the use of crowns or bridges. If you have lost some already, dental implants would be the best option if your bone is healthy enough. We always do evaluations to see if you are a candidate for these procedures.

Are there any complications with dental implants Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry

 

There is very little chance that dental implants will fail after their placement, in fact, the success rate is close to 95%. Even so, as in any treatment, complications can occur, usually related to persistent anesthesia in the adjacent nerves or if there was penetration of the maxillary sinuses and the nasal cavity.

These complications are not frequent as long as a specialist is the one who places the implants. But the most important thing is to perform a previous medical evaluation, to make sure that dental implants are the best option depending on your overall health and medical conditions. Currently, although there is more information on this subject, there are misconceptions that most people believe when choosing dental implant treatment, the most common are:

• That dental implants require less care than natural teeth.
• That implant treatment is appropriate for all patients who have lost teeth.
• That dental implants last longer than natural teeth and that there are no risks or complications in the treatment with implants.
• You can eat whatever you like no matter if it’s too hard.

These ideas could lead to problems and ultimately losing your dental implant. You should still be careful when eating hard foods… remember, you have already lost a tooth. Even with a dental implant you should be cautious to avoid fissuring the crown.

 

Regarding general health, there are relative contraindications that it is important to consider before carrying out the treatment, it is important to proceed with caution with patients who have suffered a heart attack, suffer from angina, patients undergoing anticoagulant treatments, patients with renal insufficiency , arthritis, rheumatism, anemia, lupus, respiratory failure, osteoporosis and with patients suffering from psychiatric diseases.

 

As in any treatment, there are risk factors that can hinder the success of dental implants. For example, survivors of cancer need to be very careful if they got radiation therapy in the area of the head or mouth as the success rate will be somewhat lower, the same happens with diabetic patients. In patients with heart disease, an adequate and detailed clinical history should be made before starting treatment. And finally, as we all know, smoking is harmful in all aspects, so it is expected that smoking with dental implants, especially during the process of osseointegration, will increase the risk of failure of dental implant treatment.

Inlay onlay overlay dental crown cancun cosmetic dentistry

 

While one of our most popular treatments are Zirconia Crowns, you might need an inlay, onlay or overlay instead. Crowns are not the same as inlays, overlays or onlays. Crowns envelop the entirety of the tooth, while the later usually deal with a small section. Perhaps you got a small cavity and want to restore that part of the tooth. Is it possible? Well, in all cases, the dentist will have to take a good look at you, take digital x-rays to check the integrity of your teeth and then decide what’s the best course of action. In many cases, your teeth might be in need of full restoration with crowns but it can also need just a partial restoration of its structure. The names are indicative of the form and space they will cover. They are made of different materials, usually porcelain or metal, but can also be made with a special composite filling that hardens. They can also be used to replace old or damaged metal fillings. In a way, they are more similar to veneers than to crowns, but fulfill almost the same function.

• Inlay type restorations are indicated for premolars and molars with medium structure loss.
• Onlay restorations are usually indicated for premolars and molars with structural loss greater than a third of the surface area.
• Overlays are a little more extensive than onlays, being almost like a crown but not quite there.

 

In either case, if you want a porcelain inlay/onlay you would have to get impressions to redo the missing form of the tooth and make sure it fits correctly. The complete procedure is carried out over two appointments within the same week so it fits neatly on your dental vacation schedule. Perhaps the affected area could also get a resin filling instead of porcelain. Your dentists will suggest you the best course of action and any other alternative treatment you might need.

A big change with All-on-4 dental implants in Cancun!

 

The All-on-4 dental implant protocol is usually used for patients who have no teeth left because of their age, but every once in a while we also have special cases like this one. When Doctor German Arzate checks your case, he will see what types of treatments are available for you taking into account factors like age, bone density, previous complications, strength of your bite, etc. This first evaluation is free and can be done online. You only need to send your mouth x-rays and photos of your mouth so our doctors can take a look and make a personalized video speaking about your options.

As we were saying, this patient was a special case. Let’s see what the doctor has to say about it!

 

 

Hi, I’m Doctor Arzate in sunny Cancun and I have a special visitor.

Seven days ago you came in and had a story, because even she is young she told me I want to make a big change in just of couple of days. Just started to do for some reasons, search about a change, like a quick change for your mouth and what did you found?

I found you guys. And I knew right away I wanted to come here.

Did you went to consult to different doctors, back home or something? No? You said I need to go

I knew in my heart that I needed to come here.

Thank you. We receive patients for more all over the world which they came here and they come looking for some solutions for this type of cases. Our personal suggestion was not why not braces? Why not fixing your teeth, your mouth and it was no.

No.

Braces was not an option. Ok, so it was complex because we have an underbite, we have underbite and how many years have you been like that?

Oh my god! It’s been since I was 12 or 11

That’s was a problem for your life? For your way of live? Smiling, and eating.

Yes, I never smiled.

You never smile? She requested for this prompt solution and I told her, well we can do this. We have a big decay under— with all the teeth uppers and lowers but we were more focus in your upper maxilla and we wanted to do something that can give a good layout.

We did a process called All-on-4.  That’s what I did. The All-on-4. This was her seven days ago, we have an open bite and underbite and we have the canines here.

This was the X-ray that we had, we had all the molars, touch, we had infections here, we had a couple of things. We had those canines which they were impacted there on uppers and without wanted to have braces and this is the result.

I placed two big implants. Here. We respected the sinus. We did extractions in all the uppers and we did a makeover on lowers and get rid of those infections that she had here and we did a screw retained bar—- here on this patient and at the end that was the result.

This is a beautiful case of All-on-4 and the result was amazing.

Ok, so thank you for trust, thank you for coming  and I wanna see her in one year, so she can come here for any adjustments but now you are ready for smile.

I’m ready

Ready for social media!

Ok

Thank you, Elexis.  Thank you so much, now you are part of the family.

Yes.

Thanks for watching, I’m Dr. Arzate, thanks for give us your likes in our social media and here we are in sunny Cancun.

Dr. Arzate, Diplomate of the ABOI, American Board of Oral Implantology. Bye!
