There’s no need to be worried if your dentist or endodontist prescribes a root canal procedure to
treat a damaged or diseased tooth. Millions of teeth are treated and saved this way each year,
relieving pain and making teeth healthy again. A modern root canal treatment is nothing
like those old sayings! It’s very similar to a routine filling and can usually be completed in
one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances.
Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective.
You’ll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time.
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of
tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color,
shape, size, or length.
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, these two or more anchoring teeth
are called abutment teeth -- and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold,
alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
The smile is an important reflection of one’s self along with communicating a variety of emotions to
those around us and it is unique to each individual person.
Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not
necessarily the functionality) of teeth, gums and/or bite. It primarily focuses on improvement in dental aesthetics in color, position, shape,
size, alignment and overall smile appearance.
Scaling and root planing, also known as conventional periodontal therapy, non-surgical periodontal therapy or deep cleaning,
is a procedure involving removal of dental plaque and calculus (scaling or debridement) and then smoothing, or planing, of the (exposed) surfaces of the roots,
removing cementum or dentine that is impregnated with calculus, toxins, or microorganisms, the etiologic agents that cause inflammation. It is a part of non-surgical periodontal therapy.
This helps to establish a periodontium that is in remission of periodontal disease. Periodontal scalers and periodontal curettes are some of the tools involved.
A regular, non-deep
teeth cleaning includes tooth scaling, tooth polishing, and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated, but does not include root planing.
Dental Filling is a treatment modality to restore missing tooth structure which could have been a result of decay or trauma.
Decay makes tooth hollow. Dental Filling helps to fill this gap and protect it from further decay. A filling is also used to repair broken or cracked
tooth and the teeth which wear off due to dental habits like teeth grinding, nail biting etc.
Removal or extraction of a tooth is required when a tooth is grossly damaged either by dental caries or trauma,
Now a day tooth removal is a completely painless procedure because of availability of good quality of local anaesthesia.
