As children, when we lost a tooth, it was a great day. We knew that if we lost one of our baby teeth that our parents would deposit some money under our pillow.
Yet, as many of us blow off 70 or more candles at our next birthday, we are also facing the realty of tooth loss. And, there is no tooth fairy in our future.
For many, it means that we will have to go to our local dentist for advice and assistance. Government research from the Department of Health and Human Services estimates that one million Americans will lose all of their teeth this year.
Fortunately, teeth replacement options have changed significantly. Dr. Stephen Schmitt and Dr. Ben Young have designed a a revolutionary three-dimensional X-ray solution to capture an image to create the best replacement processes for failing teeth.
Using their experience as Air Force dentists, the two San Antonio-based doctors have created a way to fully capture the landscape of each of their patient's mouth. Their patent-pending processes avoid the scatter of traditional Xrays from a person's mouth.
If a dentist uses that old process, they have to guess where to place dentures and bridges as the Xrays don't show every person's mouth clearly. Now, with NeXsmile, the guesswork has been removed from the design phase of bad teeth replacement with 21st century technology.
