Dental Cleanings and Check-ups
Dental cleanings and check-ups are essential preventive measures to maintain oral health. During the procedure, plaque and tartar are removed, preventing gum disease and cavities. Symptoms of poor oral health include bad breath and bleeding gums. Regular check-ups help detect issues early. Brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist are crucial for oral hygiene.
Fillings
Fillings are dental restorations used to repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma. During the procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with a durable material like composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain. Fillings restore the tooth's structure, function, and aesthetics, preventing further decay and discomfort. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene to prolong the lifespan of fillings. Regular dental check-ups ensure early detection of any issues with fillings.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged teeth. They restore shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used for decayed, fractured, or weakened teeth, or after root canal treatment. They're made from materials like porcelain or metal. Crowns protect teeth and enhance smiles, offering long-lasting restoration with proper care.
Root Canals
Root canals are procedures to treat infected or inflamed tooth pulp. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the root canal is cleaned, shaped, and filled to prevent further infection. Symptoms may include severe toothache and sensitivity. Prompt treatment can save the tooth from extraction.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions involve the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, decayed, infected, or causing overcrowding. It may also be necessary for impacted wisdom teeth. Before extraction, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. After extraction, proper post-operative care is essential for healing.
Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment involves the correction of misaligned teeth and jaws to improve their function and appearance. This treatment often utilizes braces or clear aligners to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Orthodontic issues can lead to difficulties with chewing, speech, and oral hygiene, making treatment essential for optimal oral health and confidence. Regular adjustments and diligent oral hygiene are crucial throughout the treatment process.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They provide a sturdy foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring function and aesthetics. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two types: partial dentures, which replace several missing teeth, and complete dentures, which replace all teeth in a dental arch. Dentures restore chewing function, improve appearance, and support facial muscles. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for longevity and oral health.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of teeth and removes stains and discoloration. It can be done professionally in a dental office or at home with over-the-counter products. Professional whitening treatments typically use bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to achieve brighter smiles safely and effectively.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges restore chewing function, improve speech, and prevent teeth from shifting. Regular oral hygiene and dental check-ups are essential for maintaining bridge longevity.
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures performed in the mouth and jaw area. Common oral surgeries include tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, dental implant placement, jaw surgery, and treatment for oral diseases or injuries. Oral surgeons are specialized dental professionals trained to perform these procedures safely and effectively, often under local or general anesthesia. Aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments are provided to ensure proper healing and recovery.
Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the dental health of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric dentists specialize in providing age-appropriate dental care, including preventive services, dental examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. They also address issues such as teething, thumb sucking, and early orthodontic evaluations. Creating positive dental experiences for children and educating them about proper oral hygiene habits are key aspects of pediatric dentistry, promoting lifelong oral health.
