Dental implants for patients with diabetes

May 7th, 2011

Dr. Hudis understands dry mouth, gum disease, delayed healing and other health issues are all special concerns for our patients with diabetes. But what are your options when infection has weakened teeth beyond repair? In many cases, we recommend dental implants as permanent replacements for damaged teeth.
Recent studies of dental implants with diabetic patients show success rates of higher than 90 percent. While the process of implantation takes longer than conventional treatments like bridges, the strength and durability of implants make them an excellent long-term solution for your tooth replacement. If you have diabetes and have lost one or more teeth (and your diabetes is under control), you may consider implants. However, if your blood sugar is not controlled, Dr. Hudis recommends putting off any non-emergency dental care, including implants, bridgework and dentures – until you’ve worked with your primary care physician to control it.
Otherwise, feel free to give us a call and our staff will try to answer any diabetes-related questions we can.

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month

April 15th, 2011

Visiting Princeton Restorative & Implant Dentistry regularly will not only help keep your teeth and mouth healthy, but will also help keep the rest of your body healthy. The fact is, every hour of every day in the U.S., someone dies of oral cancer, which is the sixth-most common diagnosed form of the disease. The five-year survival rate is only 50 percent, and oral cancer is one of the few cancers whose survival rate has not improved. Since April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Hudis would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our patients about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene.
Dr. Hudis is specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent oral health problems. Please let us now if you have any questions about your oral health during your next appointment. Take care of your teeth!

Dental Implants: A Long Term Tooth Replacement Solution

April 7th, 2011

A New York Times article discussed the long term benefits of dental implants over bridges for tooth replacement. Check it out by clicking here.
Implants involve surgically placing a titanium rod into the jaw bone to act as tooth root. Then we place a porcelain crown to create a natural, long-lasting appearance. It is crucial to replace missing teeth, and common activities like chewing can destabilize your bite and cause you additional discomfort.
Call us today at our Princeton prosthodontic office to discuss your implant options. You can also explore our web site for more information about dental implants and restorative dentistry.
