Apicoectomy
An Apicoectomy, or Root-End Resection, is the removal of the root tip and
the surrounding infected tissue of an abscessed tooth. This dental treatment
procedure may be necessary when inflammation and infection persists in the area
around the root tip after root canal therapy or root canal retreatment. After the tooth
is "numbed", the gum is reflected (lifted) to uncover the
underlying bone and the root end of the tooth. The root-end is resected
(removed) with all the surrounding infected tissue. A root-end filling is
placed to seal the end of the root canal, the gum is repositioned, and a few
dissolvable sutures (stitches) are placed to hold the gum tissue back in its
place until healing occurs. After a few months, the bone around the root-end
has healed, and all symptoms are gone.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding treatment might be utilized as a way to improve the appearance
of a cosmetic defect found on the surface of a tooth, to replace tooth structure
that has chipped away or broken, or to repair damage caused by tooth decay.
It can be used to resurface the entire front side of a tooth so to improve
its cosmetic appearance.
After a tooth's surface has been properly prepared, a white colored dental
filling material is bonded onto the tooth. It is the use of a tooth colored
restorative material that is applied on to the teeth. It can then be
polished and shaped to look like the rest of the teeth. Dental bonding is
relatively inexpensive and is completed in one just one visit.
Dental Bridges
A bridge stabilizes the bite of a patient who is missing one or more teeth.
Bridges prevent the surrounding teeth from moving or shifting in the mouth.
A missing tooth that is not replaced may cause surrounding teeth to become
unstable and require removal, compromising oral health or change the shape
of the face and diminish the beauty of a smile.
Bridges are permanent; patients need not remove them. The missing tooth is
replaced with an artificial tooth connected between two crowns (caps), which
are permanently cemented or bonded on the adjacent teeth.
Bridges can be used to replace a small number of missing teeth if the
neighboring teeth are sufficiently strong. The number of missing teeth,
condition of the neighboring teeth, condition of the supporting gums and
bone are all important factors which need to be assessed prior to making a
bridge.
Dental Crowns/Caps
Crowns are also known as caps, A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap"
that is placed over a tooth - covering the tooth to restore its shape and
size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented
into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at
and above the gum line.
Crowns are indicated for cracked teeth and teeth with deep cavities; to
protect teeth that have been filled by root-canal treatment; to provide
extra support for bridges; and to cover poorly shaped or discolored teeth.
Crowns may be made of metal, porcelain, or newer restorative materials like
metal free ceramics. They are custom-made and fitted for each patient in
conformation with the size and length of the natural teeth. Crowns typically
last five to eight years, but can last much longer with proper oral hygiene.
The teeth to be crowned are prepared which involves reduction of the tooth
size (usually under local anaesthesia) followed by an impression or mould of
the prepared tooth. This trimming of the tooth is required to create space
for the crown to be fitted. The mould taken is then sent to a laboratory
where skilled technicians will fabricate the crown. In the meanwhile, a
temporary crown is made and fitted onto the trimmed tooth.
Dental Filling
Dental filling is done to repair minimal tooth fracture, tooth decay or
damaged surface of the teeth.Dental filling surgery smoothes the teeth surface which helps in
better chewing and biting. When a tooth decays the enamel is lost which
results in tooth sensitivity. With proper dental filling tooth sensitivity
will be fully eliminated.
During the procedure the decay or damage on the teeth is removed with a
dental hand-piece or laser, and the area is cleansed to remove bacteria or
debris before the restoration is completed. The bonding procedure requires
the placement of various adhesives followed by the composite material, which
is then hardened with a special bonding light. The completed composite
restoration is both functional and natural looking.
Dental Implant
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw
to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. These implants do not need any
support. A dental implant is commonly composed of a titanium material screw
and a crown.
Dental surgery implant is an ideal option for people who have lost a tooth or
teeth due to periodontal disease, failure of endodontics, an injury, or some
other reason.It is used to replace one or more teeth without affecting
adjacent teeth. It also acts as a bridge and eliminates the need for a
removable partial denture.
Dental Jewellery
Teeth jewellery is a brilliant way to add sparkles to your smile and stand
out of the crowd. It is a painless procedure where a dentist fixes a jewel
on the tooth surface. The jewel does not damage tooth tissues and has no
side effects - except for the increased charm of your smile.
Gum Treatment & Dental Surgery
Gum disease refers to inflammation of the soft tissue (gingiva) and
abnormal loss of bone that surrounds the teeth and holds them in place. Gum
disease is caused by toxins secreted by bacteria in "plaque" that
accumulate over time along the gum line. This plaque is a mixture of food,
saliva, and bacteriaEarly symptoms of gum disease include gum bleeding
without pain. Pain is a symptom of more advanced gum disease as the loss of
bone around the teeth leads to the formation of gum pockets. Bacteria in
these pockets cause gum infection, swelling, pain, and further bone
destruction
Treatment of early gum disease involves oral hygiene and removal of
bacterial plaque. Moderate to advanced gum disease usually requires a
thorough cleaning of the teeth and teeth roots called "root planing"
and "subgingival curettage." . In advanced gum disease with
significant bone destruction and loosening of teeth, teeth splinting or
teeth extractions may be necessary. The various surgical options are Flap
surgery, Gingivectomy, Osseous (bone) surgery Bone Grafts, or Soft Tissue
Graft.
Porcelain Veneers
A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that is bonded onto the
front surface of a tooth so to improve its cosmetic appearance. Porcelain
veneers usually look more life like and they have the added benefit of
resisting staining well
One way that we can make your smile more attractive is to place porcelain
veneers or jacket crowns. Porcelain veneers are translucent, thin laminates
made to improve the esthetics (shape, spacing, color) of natural teeth, to
correct crowding, or to replace composite bonding.If you already have crowns
on your front teeth, replacement with all porcelain jacket crowns may give
you a more natural, attractive appearance.
Porcelain Tooth Crowns
Porcelain Crowns can provide the same sort of major cosmetic changes that
porcelain veneers can make. However, unlike porcelain veneers that only
cover over the front sides of teeth, Porcelain Crowns cup over and encase
the entire aspect of a tooth which lies above the gum line. Porcelain Crowns
are stronger and more durable.
Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy is also known as Endodontics. Some indications of the
need for root canal treatment may be:
- Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods
- Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the
bone
The first step in a root canal is to obtain access to the nerve. This is
accomplished by establishing a small access opening in the top of the tooth.
It will be done under a local anesthetic.The length of the root canal is
determined and the infected pulp is removed.At the same visit, the canal
where the nerve is located will be reshaped and prepared to accept a special
root canal filling material. The number of visits necessary to complete your
root canal will depend upon several factors including the number of nerves
in the tooth, the infected state of the nerve, and the complexity of the
procedure.The final step in your root canal will be the sealing of the root
canal with a sterile, plastic material If treated early, root canal therapy
need not be uncomfortable. With the use of local anesthetics, the entire
procedure can be totally painless.
Teeth Whitening
Bleaching is one of the most common procedures of dental cosmetics. It
brightens teeth that are discolored, stained, or have been darkened because
of injury or drinking habits. Any tooth, even those that have had root canal
surgery, can receive bleaching treatment
Some sources of extrinsic stains are cigarettes, cigars, paan masala ,
coffee, tea, or foods that contain a lot of spices. This type of staining
can sometimes be removed by good tooth brushing habits or by professional
oral prophylaxis (scaling).
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is an area of dentistry that seeks to create a more
aesthetically pleasing smile. can whiten teeth, replace missing teeth, and
repair chipped teeth through a variety of cosmetic dentistry options,
including tooth bleaching, porcelain veneers, dental implants, bonding,
dental crowns, and bridges.
