Root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canals inside a tooth's root. Decades ago, root canal treatments often were painful. With dental advances and local anesthetics, most people have little if any pain during a root canal. In fact, it's probably more painful living with a decayed tooth.
Dental implant is an artificial tooth root that’s placed into your jaw to hold a prosthetic tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason and who prefer not to wear dentures.
Orthodontic treatment can correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked, gapped, rotated or crowded teeth. Braces improve your smile’s health, function and appearance. Braces use mild, constant pressure to shift your teeth into their proper positions over time.
Aligners are a series of tight-fitting custom-made mouthpieces that slip over the teeth. Because the clear aligners are custom-built for a tight fit, they are best for adults or teens. Straightening a child’s teeth is more complicated. Young people, and their mouths, are still growing and developing; the doctor must think about this when setting up treatment. Clear orthodontic aligners are typically used for patients who have mild or moderately crowded teeth, or have minor spacing issues.
A smile design is a dental procedure which artistically creates straighter, whiter and beautiful natural looking smiles. It can do wonders to fully restore your dental health and appearance regardless of the original state of your existing teeth. Some smile designs only require Porcelain Veneers while others will require a combination of Veneers and Crowns. Sometimes teeth are missing in the smile zone. This is rectified with either a porcelain bridge or an implant with a Porcelain crown.
An impacted tooth is a tooth that has not passed through the gum-line to grow into position on its own.
Instead, the tooth remains stuck – or “impacted” – in the gum tissue or bone. This can cause dental problems and other health concerns if left untreated.Some people may have several impacted teeth, while others have only one. This depends on the causes of impacted teeth and how the teeth grow in.
Proper care of your child's teeth and gums includes brushing and rinsing daily. It also includes having routine dental exams, and getting necessary treatments such as fluoride, sealants, extractions, fillings, or braces and other orthodontics. Let the dentist know if your child is a thumb sucker or breathes through the mouth. Teach your child how to play safe and what to do if a tooth is broken or knocked out. If you act quickly, you can often save the tooth.
Laser dentistry refers to light energy that is a thin beam of extremely focused light, exposed to a particular tissue so that it can be molded or eliminated from the mouth. Laser dentistry is being used for conducting numerous treatments, ranging from simple procedures to rather complex dental procedures. Some of the most common treatments that are done with laser dentistry:
Treatment of hypersensitivity
Have you seen a bit of blood in your sink when you brush your teeth lately? That bleeding can be one of the first warning signs of gum disease. If you don’t treat it, the infection can travel below your gumline and into your bone. They have been shown to raise your risk of things like diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, pneumonia, and cancer. Treatments range from nonsurgical therapies that control bacterial growth to surgery that restores supportive tissues.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores a decayed, broken, weak or worn-down tooth. Dentists also use crowns to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth. They are made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin, porcelain and zirconium.
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments offering a quick, non-invasive and affordable way to enhance a smile. Whether in the form of professionally administered one-hour whitening sessions at a dental office or home-use bleaching kits solutions abound. Virtually everyone who opts for a teeth whitening solution sees moderate to substantial improvement in the brightness and whiteness of their smile.
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile. We believe that cosmetic dentistry must complement the overall general and oral health of the patient.
RVG, or radiovisiography, is an intraoral X-ray image that is recorded in a digital form. It is one of the most modern methods of taking images, thanks to which the dentist can easily obtain material for the analysis of the presence of diseases and the specificity of the patient’s bite. The image can be accurately analyzed on the computer screen at any angle.
