Teeth Whitening

At Ivi Z. Sanguinetti DDS, PA 's office, patients are always looking for ways to brighten their smiles. Even when you take care of your oral health, some staining to the teeth can occur over time.

We are happy to offer a whitening service to patients with serious staining to the teeth, and those with minor stains who want to achieve a dazzling white smile. A consultation with a dentist can help you determine how severe your stains are and what kind of results you can expect from a whitening treatment.

To whiten your teeth at home, we outfit patients with whitening gel and custom trays for application.  A dentist takes an impression of your teeth, and from this impression two custom trays are made for your top and bottom teeth. These trays are made for you to take home and use by applying gel to the trays and then fitting them over your teeth. The dentist’s recommendation of how often to treat and how long each treatment should last may vary. Most patients see results of teeth whitening 4-8 shades within a few days of properly using this system.

Invisalign

Dr. Sanguinetti’s interests in both cosmetic and family dentistry are not unrelated. She understands that, necessary though orthodontics often are, people of all ages are reluctant to wear braces. Part of this may be due to outdated notions of what braces look like and how delicate they are—modern braces come in a variety of options. But for people who only need moderate tooth adjustment, Invisalign may be an ideal solution.

Invisalign is a brand-name aligner system which has been on the market since 1997, and is now covered by most of the same insurance policies which cover traditional braces. They are made of clear plastic and are slipped on and off of the teeth by the patient. This evades the difficulty patients with traditional braces had maintaining their oral hygiene, and allows the patient to continue to eat all the same foods. It also makes aligners significantly safer, since they can be taken out if a patient is playing a sport, and even if they do get damaged, they can be instantly removed without professional assistance.

Indeed, though Invisalign needs to be worn twenty-two hours a day, it requires less oversight than other orthodontic options. When a patient first chooses to use Invisalign, Dr. Sanguinetti makes an impression of their mouth and uses 3D-imaging software to devise a treatment plan. The impression and specifications are then sent off to Invisalign’s manufacturer. Each aligner shifts the patient’s teeth slightly more than the one in the series which preceded it, and patients get three aligners at a time. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, and patients will visit Dr. Sanguinetti every six weeks for a new set of aligners and so she can observe their progress.

That Invisalign is invisible is obviously one of the main reasons patients prefer it, but it has other advantages, as well. The lack of brackets often makes for a more comfortable experience, and the manufacturer provides an invisible retainer to be worn after alignment is complete. Because Invisalign can only be used to fix moderate malocclusions, not everyone is eligible for it. But those who are will likely not have to wear it for as long as those with traditional braces, making it an attractive middle ground to people who do not want to have to wear traditional braces to correct minor problems.

Veneers

Individuals that brush and floss stand a better chance of avoiding tooth decay and gum disease. This said it doesn’t always mean that they will have the smile of their dreams. Getting a beautiful smile might take a little bit of help from a professional such as Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti DDS, PA in Baytown, Texas. You can take advantage of technological advances such as veneers to cover stained, chipped or otherwise damaged teeth.

How Veneers Work

Veneers are created to fit over the front of the teeth that you want to cover up. They are made by taking a mold of the teeth in question and then placing them on the teeth with a special adhesive. In many cases, the teeth need to be prepared for the veneers by removing a layer of the tooth or enamel to make sure that the veneers fit in place well. There are several options for veneers including porcelain and resin. These can provide you with a beautiful looking smile that will last many years with proper care. The veneers will look like natural teeth, but in better condition than the teeth you are trying to cover up.

If you are looking for a way to get a smile you can be confident in, contact our office. We would love to talk about all the options that you have and how we can help you. Call us today at 281-421-5950 to schedule your appointment. You can have the smile that you want and make the best impression possible.

Toothache

We’ve all been there; you have a tooth ache and need to see a dentist. A medical history and physical exam is needed in order to diagnose a toothache. A Baytown Texas dentist such as Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti, DDS, PA can perform various tests in order to determine the cause of the pain.

Treating a Toothache

A Panorex x-ray offers a 3-D look at all angles of the mouth to determine the cause of the pain. Tooth pain and jaw pain can be caused by tooth decay and/or infection, damaged fillings, infected gums or from a chipped or broken tooth. Some triggers of pain may be from cold or hot, sweets, putting other pressure on the tooth or biting down in general.

In severe cases, a tooth extraction may be required. For some teeth, a root canal will be needed sometimes in conjunction with a dental crown. If there is swelling present in the jaw, a dentist will prescribe an antibiotic. A professional dentist can determine what dental procedure is required in order to restore the health of the tooth.

After having tooth pain treated with a professional dentist, good dental hygiene is important. A regular brushing and flossing routine is imperative for one’s overall health. Also routine and follow-up appointments can help relieve dental pain faster.

To schedule an appointment with a Baytown Texas dentist today, call 281-421-5950. Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti, DDS, PA cannot wait to help you restore your dental health.

Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA Offers Dental Implants in our Baytown, TX Dental Office

When it comes to tooth replacement, many patients desire the best option. While there are multiple options for every type of patient, Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA of Baytown, TX provides our patients with dental implants as a permanent option for tooth replacement.

Tooth replacement is very important. While it is obvious that teeth are needed for biting, chewing, and smiling, what many people do not realize is that they help shape our jaw and face. When teeth go missing for a long time, the jawbone in that area begins to disintegrate. The jaw changes shape and can cause facial muscles to sag. This changes your facial appearance, often making patients appear older than they are. This is why it is important to replace teeth as soon as you can.

In addition, it is nice to have a replacement that will not need to be replaced again in the future. Dental implants are a permanent option that has the ability to last a lifetime. The titanium implant post is inserted into the bone socket, where the tooth’s normal root would be. Since this is a surgical procedure, there will be some healing time required before the permanent replacement crown can be attached. After several months, an abutment will be attached to the post and impressions will be taken of the area. A dental laboratory will create a custom crown which will be permanently cemented into place. While the lab is making your custom crown, a temporary one will be worn for use of the tooth and protection of the area. After the custom crown is attached, the process is complete and you have a permanently replaced tooth. Your smile will be whole once again.

If you are looking for a permanent option for tooth replacement, a dental implant is the way to go. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA in our Baytown, PA office, please call us at (281) 421-5950 or visit our website, www.singing-dentist.com.

Dental Bonding and White Fillings with Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA

When a tooth is cracked or damaged due to injury or decay, it becomes weak. Not to mention, it can put a damper on a smile. In the past, silver amalgam fillings were the option for restoring damaged or decayed teeth. These days, Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA offers white bonding and fillings to her patients in our Baytown, TX office so that their smile is not only strong again, but looks great!

Dental bonding and fillings are now created using a composite resin colored to match your teeth. Dental bonding is great for teeth that are chipped, cracked, misshapen, gapped, and more. It can even be used to whiten teeth. The teeth are prepared with light etching for a strong bond and then the resin is shaped over the imperfection in the tooth. A light is used to harden the resin and afterwards it is polished to shine like a normal tooth. For whitening, the resin is smoothed over the whole smile. With good care, bonding can last for about ten years. That means long-lasting white teeth.

For fillings, unsightly silver amalgam fillings are no longer needed. We use our composite resin in the same way as we use it for bonding. However, for cavities, first we remove any decayed tooth tissue. We then etch the area to aid a strong bond and apply the resin. After it is hardened, it is also polished to shine like a normal tooth. White fillings are strong and are a welcome aesthetic improvement over the silver-colored fillings of the past.

If you are unhappy with an imperfection in your smile or are experiencing pain to a tooth, schedule an appointment with us to see if dental bonding or white fillings are right for you. To schedule with Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA of Baytown, TX, call our office at (281) 421-5950 or visit our website, www.singing-dentist.com.

Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA Offers Custom Teeth Whitening Trays

A white, bright smile can light up any room and unleash the confidence inside you. If you are unhappy with the shade of your teeth, a professional whitening procedure can turn that around for you. Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA, of Baytown, TX utilizes custom take-home whitening trays to patients who desire noticeable teeth whitening.

Custom take-home whitening trays are a fantastic professional way to whiten teeth for a couple of reasons. Number one, they are customized. Therefore, unlike one-size-fits-all store-bought whitening kits, the trays fit your own teeth perfectly. We create these trays by taking an impression of your teeth. Secondly, the fact that our system is take-home means that our patients can whiten their teeth from the comfort of their own home. They do not have to spend hours in the dental chair waiting for the process to finish. This is especially great for patients with dental anxiety. You take the trays home, apply the whitening gel we give you, and then wear the trays for a short period of time over a few days.

Professional whitening systems work by whitening the enamel of the tooth.  When surface stains penetrate the enamel and discolors it, the whole tooth appears to darken in color. Professional whitening systems reach into the enamel and lift stains out so the surface of the tooth has the ability to lighten.

Confidence in your smile can turn a day around. If you are unhappy with your smile because of discoloration or staining, our customized take-home whitening trays may be just the boost you need. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti, DDS, PA of Baytown, TX, call our office at (281) 421-5950 or visit our website, www.singing-dentist.com.

Study finds clear aligners are more beneficial than braces | Dental Tribune International

Braces vs Invisalign on oral hygiene and gum condition.

Study finds clear aligners are more beneficial than braces | Dental Tribune International

MAINZ, Germany: In recent years, clear aligners have become a favourable treatment alternative in orthodontics to braces. However, there are few studies about the effects of aligner treatment on oral hygiene and gums condition. A team of German researchers has now compared the oral health status, oral hygiene and treatment satisfaction of patients treated with braces and the Invisalign aligner system. They found that Invisalign patients have better periodontal health and greater satisfaction during orthodontic treatment.

To date, the majority of patients, particularly during childhood and adolescence, are treated with braces. However, these appliances tend to complicate oral hygiene and thus interfere with patients’ periodontal health. Moreover, treatment with braces is not very popular in adult orthodontics for aesthetic reasons. Therefore, other orthodontic techniques have been developed to improve aesthetics and simplify oral hygiene procedures. An alternative to braces is clear aligners, which are discreet and have the advantage of being removable during oral hygiene and eating or drinking. The use of clear aligners has increased greatly in the last decade, one prominent example being Invisalign, produced by Align Technology since 1999. However, only a limited number of studies have compared the effects of Invisalign and braces on oral hygiene, the researchers from the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz pointed out.

Their study included 100 patients who underwent orthodontic treatment, divided equally between braces and Invisalign, for more than six months. The researchers performed clinical examinations before and after treatment to evaluate the patients’ periodontal condition and any changes. Furthermore, a detailed questionnaire assessed the patients’ personal oral hygiene and dietary habits, as well as satisfaction with the treatment. All of the patients received the same oral hygiene instructions before and during orthodontic treatment. This included the use of toothbrush, dental floss and interdental brushes three times daily.

The data analysis showed no differences between the two groups regarding periodontal health and oral hygiene prior to the orthodontic treatment. However, the researchers observed notable changes in periodontal condition in both groups during orthodontic treatment. They found that gingival health was significantly better in patients treated with Invisalign, and the amount of dental plaque was also less but not significantly different compared with braces patients.

The questionnaire results showed greater satisfaction in patients treated with Invisalign. Only 6 per cent of the Invisalign patients reported impairment of their general well-being during orthodontic treatment, compared with 36 per cent of the braces patients. Other negative effects that also were significantly higher in braces patients included gingival irritation (braces: 56 per cent; Invisalign: 14 per cent), being kept from laughing for aesthetic reasons (braces: 26 per cent; Invisalign: 6 per cent), having to change eating habits during orthodontic treatment (braces: 70 per cent; Invisalign: 50 per cent), and having to brush one’s teeth for longer and more often (braces: 84 per cent; Invisalign: 52 per cent).

The researchers concluded that orthodontic treatment with Invisalign has significantly lower negative impacts on a patient’s condition than treatment with braces, both with regard to gingival health and overall well-being.

The study, titled “Braces versus Invisalign: Gingival parameters and patients’ satisfaction during treatment: A cross-sectional study”, was published online in the BMC Oral Health journal on 24 June.

Living a Healthier Life

Did you know that diabetics are twice a s likely to develop gum disease?

Yes, they are more susceptible to infection due to a decrease ability to fight harmful bacteria.

If diabetes is not under control, the risk for developing gum disease increases. 

Studies also show that advanced gum disease, or periodontitis may actually cause type 2 diabetes.

Gum disease often develops without pain or symptoms, but signs include red, swollen, tender, receding, gums that can be prone to bleeding. 

In the majority of cases, gum disease can be prevented.

Practice good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing and visiting us regularly for cleanings, checkups and early detection.

Dental Bridges

Broken or missing teeth can occur for a variety of reasons. For example, trauma to the mouth can fracture a tooth or knock it out completely. In addition, gum disease can cause tooth decay and possibly lead to tooth loss. The good news is at Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti’s Baytown Family and Cosmetic Dentist; we offer restorative services that include dental bridges.

 

A bridge fills in the gap where the missing tooth was. It may be supported by dental implants or natural teeth. A conventional bridge includes two crowns on both sides of the gap. The bridge is attached to the crowns, which act as an anchor and hold the bridge in place.

 

Usually two appointments are needed in order to have a traditional dental bridge placed. The process of getting a bridge will involve preparing the adjacent teeth for the crowns. Preparation involves removing any decay and shaping and filing the teeth. An impression of the teeth is taken so the bridge can be made. While you wait for your permanent bridge to be made, a temporary one will be placed.

 

Bridges are made from durable materials, such as porcelain, gold or alloy. In some cases, a combination of materials will be used. Proper maintenance of a bridge is essential in order to prevent cavities from developing underneath. Regular brushing, flossing and professional cleanings are needed.

Soft-Tissue Laser

We know you have choices when it comes to selecting a dentist. That’s why Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti offers the most advanced technology in order to provide exceptional dentistry. For example, we are happy to utilize a soft-tissue laser in our practice.

 

The soft-tissue laser is ideally suited for soft tissue dental procedures. It is versatile and can be used clinically in several capacities. The soft-tissue laser can be used to perform restorative, cosmetic and periodontal procedures. For instance, the laser can be used in order to enhance periodontal treatment including root planning and scaling.

 

Using lasers to perform dental procedures, which in the past were done by making incisions and cutting, is often advantageous. The soft-tissue laser is gentle and is used to precisely cut targeted tissue. Your comfort is our priority. The use of lasers in our practice helps us achieve that goal. Procedures performed with the soft-tissue laser are usually comfortable, and patients often heal quickly.

 

We are happy to answer any questions and provide convenient appointment times including alternating Saturdays. For more information on the soft-tissue laser or any of our other services, please call Baytown Cosmetic and Family Dentist at 281-421-5950.

Bonding and White Fillings

Patients  Dr. Ivi Sanguinetti DDS,PA often request bonding and white fillings to restore their smile, as these are both excellent procedures that can help cover imperfections of the tooth.

 

White fillings are performed for tooth decay, but can also be used for covering up imperfections like chips or cracks in the teeth. Bonding works in a similar way, as it is mixed to be the same color as the tooth. This lets it be used by our dentist for staining or discoloration, filling gaps, and improving many other imperfections of the teeth.

 

Benefits of bonding and white fillings are as follows:

• The material matches the natural tooth.
• It covers a wide range of imperfections.
• No silver amalgam fillings are needed.
• It is safe and effective.

The process of bonding and white fillings is simple, starting with mixing composite resin to the right shade. An adhesive gel is first painted onto the tooth, followed by molding and shaping the resin over the tooth. Dr. Sanguinetti works quickly to get it in the right shape, and then shines an ultraviolet light on it, which hardens the resin. The last step is polishing the tooth.

Lumineers

Lumineers are not just porcelain veneers; they are a special brand of veneers. Lumineers are made of extremely thin material — about the thickness of a contact lens — and placed over the tooth without in many instances requiring the removal of any of the original tooth structure. They are also highly translucent, which allows them to replicate the appearance of enamel for a more natural looking finished product. The truly remarkable quality about Lumineers, though, is the fact that they have the durability to last 20 years or more.

 

Here in our Baytown, TX dental office, we believe in minimizing pain whenever possible. The fact that Lumineers placed by Dr Ivi Z. Sanguinetti DDS require so little preparation to the existing tooth means there is little pain involved in the procedure.

 

Lumineers require two dental visits:

 

1) During the first visit, we create a precise mold and work with you to select the desired whiteness level.

2) We place the new Lumineers on the second visit and you're on your way.

Root Canal

When patients are informed that they need a root canal procedure, they often become very fearful and do not want to have the procedure done. The misconception that root canals are painful, cause illness or will further cause damage to their teeth is decades old and holds no truth. Science has come a long way since the first root canal procedure occurred in the 1700’s.

 

The whole point of a root canal procedure is to alleviate pain, not cause more. Root canals are performed by removing the pulp of the tooth that has become inflamed, infected or dead. The pulp is a soft substance that is in the center of the tooth, it consists of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. The most common causes of pulp damage are cracked tooth, deep cavity and an injury to a tooth. We use this procedure to save a tooth that is badly decayed and would otherwise be extracted.

 

One of the main misconceptions regarding root canals focuses on the idea that the procedure “kills” the tooth rather than repairing it. Once the pulp is cleaned and disinfected, the area filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called “gutta-percha.” Afterwards, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth. People also think that a root canal procedure is an invasive procedure that takes hours to complete. Modern root canal procedures are often compared to having a routine filling and can be completed in just one visit.

Dental Implants

There are many options to fill the space left behind from a missing tooth. Dental implants have the greatest potential to be a permanent solution available for replacing missing teeth. Implants are widely considered the modern-day solution to missing teeth as they provide an aesthetically pleasing, potentially permanent answer to a serious problem. We restore dental implants in order to repair our patient’s smiles and fix their bite after implant surgery.

 

When you lose a tooth, it is important to act quickly to fill the space. Apart from the cosmetic issues, patients who have missing teeth will often suffer from compromised chewing efficiency and tooth drifting. The space left behind from a missing tooth causes the other teeth to drift into that space which can lead to misaligned teeth. When teeth become misaligned, they become more difficult to clean, creating areas around the teeth that can collect bacteria. This can cause gum disease and or tooth decay that may eventually lead to additional tooth loss if left untreated.

 

Receiving a dental implant is a surgical procedure and patients may or may not be put under a general anesthetic. A dental surgeon will make an incision into the patients gum line where they will insert the implant. The implant will be secured into the bone where it will need to sit for three to six months so the bone can grow around it, this process is called osseointegration. After the surgery, patients will us to receive a crown over the implant. This is done so your teeth do not drift and to help you eat normally. Once the implant is secured, Dr. Sanguinetti will place an abutment on top of the exposed implant that will support a crown. 

 

Dental implants have the greatest potential to be a permanent solution to missing teeth.

Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography is one of the most technologically advanced products available to the medical field today. While traditional systems are effective, there are many features of digital X-ray machines that help create a better overall image of your mouth. Not many dentists have taken advantage of this technology and are still utilizing traditional radiography technology. We have brought this technology to our practice in order to properly diagnose our patients.

 

Digital radiography can be compared to traditional when it comes to taking the image, but that’s where the comparison ends. Both systems use small sensors to capture an image but the digital sensors are electronic and connect to the computer system rather than an x-ray machine. Unlike traditional x-rays, digital x-rays are available immediately. Patients no longer have to wait for the x-ray images to be developed and printed. Patient wait times are down considerably and their office visits are getting shorter and shorter. 

 

Studies have shown that digital x-rays use 90% less radiation than traditional systems. Patients who are concerned about radiation exposure are feeling much more comfortable with the digital method. Along with the lessening of radiation exposure, Dr. Sanguinetti is receiving a higher quality image. Higher quality images afford Dr. Sanguinetti the opportunity to correctly and precisely diagnose her patients more effectively. The most valued aspect of the digital x-ray system is the fact that it is environmentally friendly. There are no harmful chemicals used to develop the image because it is displayed on the computer screen. The whole process is computerized and has no waste whatsoever. Even the sensor is reusable. 

Preventative Dental Care

Preventive dentistry is performing procedures on the teeth and gums that will prevent future problems. This can range from daily brushing and flossing to regular dental cleanings to application of fluorides and sealants. Our team works hard to make sure our patients are properly diagnosed and treated through the use of preventative dentistry.

 

Every patient has different dental needs when it comes to prevention. It has been well documented that oral health can have a wide ranging impact on overall health and well-being, so regular check-ups are imperative when it comes to proper diagnosis and treatment. Preventative dentistry is based on sound clinical examinations and diagnosis. Through regular dental visits, x-rays, sealants, cleanings and fluoride treatments, patients are able to prevent more costly dental procedures further down the line. Waiting to see a dentist until something hurts is not recommended. Dr. Ivi Z. Sanguinetti believes in catching the problems before it progresses to the point of pain and infection.

 

Not only can patients take preventative steps by visiting their dentist, they can also take steps at home. During office visits, Dr. Sanguinetti puts an emphasis on preventative care to his patients. Preventive care is the basic things patients should be doing to take care of their teeth and gums: brushing, flossing, and maintaining a healthy diet. You should brush at least twice a day and incorporate a regular flossing routine. Creating a regular oral hygiene routine at home will help maintain a healthy smile that will last a lifetime.

Digital Panorex

One of the most technologically advanced digital X-ray systems available is the Digital Panorex system. This device takes incredible 360 degree images of teeth, head, sinuses and bones. Digital Panorex provides dental X-rays that help the us see new areas of the mouth better than ever before. We have brought this new technology to our practice in order to better diagnose and treat you, our patients.

 

Our patients are enjoying the benefits from having their periodontal issues caught earlier rather than later. By catching small issues before they become big problems, patients are avoiding potentially invasive procedures. Also known as a full-mouth X-ray, the Panorex system provides a two-dimensional panoramic view of the patient’s mouth. With this system, Dr. Sanguinetti will be able to see the patient’s entire upper and lower jawbone, temporomandibular joints, nasal sinuses and the mandibular nerve.

 

Dr. Sanguinetti is also able to check problems with a patients jaw. This system provides a better view of temporomandibular joint disorder, making it easier to diagnose TMJ. Panorex also helps Dr. Sanguinetti locate fractures or trauma in the jawbone, gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth and dental restorations.

Rotary Endodontics

When someone is told they need a root canal procedure, their first reaction is to be worried because they are convinced the procedure will be painful. But what if it was completely pain-free? Thanks to rotary endodontic technology, we are able to perform root canal procedures with great precision and little to no pain.

 

The misconceptions regarding root canal procedures often force patients to choose more extreme options. We will go to great lengths to preserve your teeth rather than extracting them. While most believe that root canals cause pain, in reality, we use them relieve pain. It’s much less invasive to receive endodontic therapy than it would be to have your tooth pulled and then replaced with a dental implant or any number of dental appliances.

 

Root canal procedures are used for clearing out an infection that has formed in your tooth’s pulp chamber and roots. This treatment used to be done using small files that would scrape away the infected tissue. Rotary endodontics utilizes a more modern method because they use electric handpieces. Our electric handpieces make are much more comfortable for the patient because there is no bothersome drilling noise and the procedure is completed much faster than in the past.

 

If you’ve been told that you need a root canal and would like to take advantage of this modern treatment, you can set up an appointment at Ivi Z. Sanguinetti DDS,PA in Baytown, TX or by calling 281-421-5950 or visit us online atwww.singing-dentist.com.
