Regular Check-Ups

Regular check-ups are recommended every six months to evaluate the overall oral health. The dentist evaluates your teeth, gums and surrounding structures like the cheeks, lips, tongue and palate for signs of any disease. The face, the saliva and the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are also examined.

Regular check ups are an effective way to catch any disease in its early stage and provide the necessary treatment for the same. This prevents extensive deterioration of the overall oral health and prevents complications.

Dental Implants

The most modern and advanced method to replace missing teeth is that with the help of dental implants. Dental implants are surgical fixtures placed in the bone to support artificial teeth. The fixtures which act as artificial tooth roots fuse with the bone (osseointegration) and provide an exceptional foundation for the artificial teeth.

Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple missing teeth and for full arch reconstructions as well.

Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

Root canal treatment is a procedure done to save badly damaged or infected teeth due to dental caries, tooth fracture or dental trauma. The procedure involves cleaning all the infected tooth material including the pulp of the tooth followed by thorough debridement and irrigation with disinfecting solutions. The tooth is then filled completely with a restorative material to seal it against bacterial invasion.

A post and core build-up may be required if tooth structure lost due to injury is extensive. A dental crown is then placed on the treated tooth to improve the overall structural integrity of the tooth.

Crowns And Bridges

Crown is a dental restoration that completely encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown is indicated when the damage due to dental decay or tooth fracture is extensive and endangers the health of the tooth. A crown improves the overall strength and appearance of the tooth.

Bridge is a type of fixed prosthesis used to replace missing tooth by taking support of the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth.

Crowns and bridges are generally fabricated by indirect methods and are bonded to the tooth with the means of an adhesive cement. Various materials are used in the fabrication of these which include,

a. Metal free materials like Zirconia, Lithium Disilicate (Emax), Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)
b. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM)
c. Full metal

Removable Dentures

Removable denture is a type of prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. These are designed such that they can be inserted and removed from the mouth by the patients themselves.

Removable dentures can be fabricated to replace a few missing teeth (partial denture) or to replace all the teeth (complete denture). These dentures are easy to fabricate, usually do not involve any surgical procedures and are extremely cost effective.

Orthodontic Treatment / Braces / Aligners

Orthodontic treatment involves correction of malaligned teeth to improve the function and aesthetics. The treatment uses metal or ceramic brackets along with wires to cause tooth movements in desirable positions.

Aligners are transparent devices that are used to achieve tooth movement. It is the most recent and most aesthetic method to bring about orthodontic tooth movement.

Teeth Cleaning

Professional teeth cleaning (also known as oral prophylaxis or scaling and polishing) is a procedure done to remove tartar, debris and stains from the teeth. These deposits may develop as a result of improper brushing techniques or due to presence of difficult to reach areas during tooth brushing. Tartar build-up is one of the most common reasons for bleeding gums.

During the procedure, an ultrasonic instrument is used to remove the gross deposits like tartar from the teeth (scaling), followed by use of a prophylaxis paste to achieve a thorough cleaning of the tooth surface (polishing).

Dental Filling

Dental decay / caries if diagnosed at an early stage can be easily managed by a simple dental filling.

Dental filling is a simple procedure which involves removal of dental decay / caries followed by placement of a tooth-coloured material like composite or GIC. This restores the original morphology of the tooth and also improves the aesthetics and function.

Dental fillings can also be used to replace lost tooth structure due to trauma, simple tooth fractures, toothbrush abrasion, etc.

Extractions

Dental extraction involves removal of a tooth from its socket. There may be several reasons why a tooth may need extraction. For example, extensively destructed tooth due to dental decay, loose tooth due to periodontal disease, tooth fractures, etc

Sometimes wisdom teeth fail to erupt in the oral cavity (impaction) and can cause dental issues like pain or pericoronitis. Such teeth may need removal for the patient to have complete relief from the symptoms.

Orthodontic treatments may require removal of certain teeth in order to obtain sufficient space for tooth movement in favourable positions.

Our goal, along with our staff, is to help all children feel good about visiting the dentist and teach them how to care for their teeth. From our special office designs to our communication style, our main concern is what is best for your child.

Orthodontic treatment/braces

Dental braces (also known as braces, orthodontic cases, or cases) are devices used in orthodontics that align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard to a person's bite, while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites, open bites, deep bites, cross bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural. Dental braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to help widen the palate or jaws and to otherwise assist in shaping the teeth and jaws.
