Dental Implants

Overview

When a tooth is lost due to injury or disease, a person can experience complications such as rapid bone loss, defective speech, or changes to chewing patterns that result in discomfort. Replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and health.
Dental implant systems consist of a dental implant body and dental implant abutment and may also include an abutment fixation screw. The dental implant body is surgically inserted in the jawbone in place of the tooth's root. The dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body by the abutment fixation screw and extends through gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth.

Benefits of dental implants

  • Restores the ability to chew
  • Restores cosmetic appearance
  • Helps keep the jawbone from shrinking due to bone loss
  • Preserves the health of the surrounding bone and gums
  • Helps keep adjacent (nearby) teeth stable
  • Improves quality of life

Recommendations

Before choosing dental implants, talk to us and know the potential benefits and risks, and whether you are a candidate for the procedure.
Things to consider:

  • Your overall health is an important factor in determining whether you are a good candidate for dental implants, how long it will take to heal, and how long the implant may stay in place.

  • Smoking may affect the healing process and decrease the long-term success of the implant.
  • The healing process for the implant body may take several months or longer, during which time you typically have a temporary abutment in place of the tooth.

After the dental implant procedure:

  • Carefully follow the oral hygiene instructions given to you by your doctor. Regularly cleaning the implant and surrounding teeth is very important for long-term success of the implant.
  • Schedule periodic visits with us
  • If your implant feels loose or painful, tell us right away

Root Canal Treatment

Overview

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.

Benefits

Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages:

  • Removes infection and pain
  • Efficient chewing
  • Normal biting force and sensation
  • Natural appearance
  • Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain

Dental Alignment

Overview

If you’re an adult considering treatment options for getting your teeth straightened — you’re in luck — because there are several available methods to look into to resolve a wide range of possible orthodontic issues. Whether you had braces earlier in life, have recently noticed a change in the placement of your teeth, or have an overbite that’s causing discomfort, more adults are seeking tooth straightening solutions than ever before.

Straightening options

There are many different teeth straightening options for adults today. Here are some of the available options:

  • Traditional Braces
  • Self-Ligating Braces
  • Lingual Braces
  • Clear Aligners, Including Invisalign and SureSmile

Benefits

  • Improved Appearance and Self-Esteem: Its makes sense that many people want to enhance their appearance by improving their smile. Our appearance can contribute greatly to how we feel about ourselves and how we present socially, so feeling confident with your appearance can help our self-esteem to soar. Having a healthy, great looking smile boosts your confidence in social situations and professional settings
  • Physical Health Benefits : When your teeth are spaced too widely apart, your gums can become red and inflamed. Contrarily, if your teeth are crooked or over crowded they can be difficult to clean, leading to plaque build up and tooth decay. Therefore, straightening your smile can reduce health risks and improve oral hygiene
  • Resolve jaw problems: Braces are also a solution for jaw problems. When the teeth don’t come together correctly — such as a significant overbite or underbite — when the jaws close, this creates a “bad bite” (we call it malocclusion) and it can cause issues when chewing or swallowing. Teeth straighteners can resolve all of these issues.

Crowns and Bridges

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed over the tooth. With these caps, it restores the tooth’s shape, size, and appearance. Dental crowns may be needed to protect a weak tooth, restore a broken or chipped tooth, hold a dental bridge in place, cover an implant, and cover a tooth treated for a root canal. Millions of people use crowns as a way to correct and heal their teeth, and they can be made from four types of materials.

Dental Bridges

Bridges are a collection of false teeth held in place by teeth on either side of the gap. For those with multiple missing teeth, bridges can provide a viable solution. Bridges can replace one tooth, or replace multiple teeth, and depending on the material, can give off a natural look to your teeth. Teeth with decay, physical damage, and abscess are most often treated with these kinds of appliances.

Dentures

Overview

Dentures are removable false teeth made of acrylic (plastic), nylon or metal. They fit snugly over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps. Gaps left by missing teeth can cause problems with eating and speech, and teeth either side of the gap may grow into the space at an angle.Sometimes all the teeth need to be removed and replaced.
You may therefore need either:

  • Complete dentures: (a full set) – which replace all your upper or lower teeth, or
  • Partial dentures: – which replace just 1 tooth or a few missing teeth

Restorative Dentistry

What's that?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth. The main goal of restorative dentistry is to improve oral health and chewing function.

Who needs restoration?

You may need restorative dentistry if you have:

  • Cavities/tooth decay
  • Damaged or broken teeth
  • Missing teeth

Types of dental restoration

There are several different types of dental restorations depending on your unique oral health needs. Its an umbrella term that comprises of:

  • Fillings: When bacteria eats away your tooth enamel and causes a hole, it’s called a cavity. Smaller cavities are usually repaired with dental fillings.
    During this procedure, we remove the decayed portion of your tooth, then fills in the hole with a tooth-colored composite material. This halts the progression of tooth decay and reduces the risk of further damage.
  • Crowns and Bridges: : read more..
  • Inlays and onlays: Sometimes a cavity is too big for a filling, but too small for a crown. In a case like this, we might recommend an inlay or onlay. These custom restorations fit into your natural tooth structure like puzzle pieces. We permanently bond them into place. Inlays and onlays are similar. While an inlay fills the area between the cusps of your teeth, an onlay also covers at least one cusp.

Tooth Sensitivity

Symptoms

You may have ‘ouch’ moments (discomfort or pain) when:

  • You’re having a hot drink or eating an ice-cream
  • You’re eating something sour or very sweet
  • You bite down on something
  • An ache or pain persists well after the initial twinges

If you experience any of these symptoms, feel free to reach out to us and we are happy to answer to your queries

Why does it occur?

The reason why teeth feel sensitive is because the layer of dentine within the tooth has been exposed. This is because the protective enamel, on the surface of the tooth, has been damaged. Dentine contains lots of very tiny holes which run through to the tooth's nerve. This indirect exposure of the nerve is why you feel sudden tooth sensitivity or pain.

Gum Disease

Overview

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It's typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden.

Symptoms

It starts with swollen, red, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can spread to the bones surrounding the gums, making it painful to chew. In the worst cases, teeth may become loose or need to be removed.
