BRACES:

Braces come in handy to solve problems like crowding, crooked teeth, or teeth that are out of alignment. Each brace is connected using an arch-wire setup, which is a thin metal similar to a wire, responsible for slowly directing the teeth into their suitable position as time progresses.

One might be worried whether the braces after being fixed in teeth may look odd, but you need not worry about it. With advancements in technology, today’s braces come in different colors, including the ones with enamel shades, which blend well with your teeth’ color.

DENTAL IMPLANTS:

Dental implants are commonly used for tooth loss and there are several reasons for tooth loss- lack of oral hygiene or failure to maintain good oral hygiene protocols, plaque and gum infection. Implants are an artificial tooth which can be permanently fixed into the jaw bone of a person. Even though they cannot replace a real tooth they can upto a certain extent perform well like the natural tooth.

TYPES OF IMPLANTS:

• Endosteal Implants

Endosteal Implants are artificial tooth roots that are made as screws, cylinders, or blades. These are made up of titanium or ceramic. The implant is surgically drilled into the jawbone that helps to hold the artificial teeth in place.

• Subperiosteal Implants

Subperiosteal Implant is a metal framework used to secure firmly on the jawbone, but the framework lies below the gum line. The treatment procedure takes a lot of time and can even result with a post-surgical scar.

• Implant Overdentures

If the patient is healthy and fit for the tooth extraction, implant overdentures could be the best for traditional dentures. Overdenture is planted on the top of the implant, which adds stability compared to conventional dentures. It reduces discomfort and makes chewing food easier.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on treatment procedures that would help enhance the appearance of your teeth.

KID’S DENTISTRY

DENTAL RESTORATIONS

Dental restorations are numerous ways your dentist can replace the missing teeth or repair the missing parts of your teeth structure. Tooth loss happens due to the deterioration of previously placed restorations, fracture of a tooth, or even decay. Examples of dental restorations are,

• Fillings
• Implants and dentures
• Crowns
• Bridges.

TEETH WHITENING

Teeth bleaching or teeth whitening is the method of lightening the color of teeth. With the passage of time, the color of the teeth gets changed to yellow due to various reasons.. Whitening is the process of bleaching the tooth.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the common ingredient used in whitening products, and it is also known as carbamide peroxide. It acts as an oxidizing agent when it gets diffused with the tooth. These tiny molecules create a “Whitening effect” on the teeth, reflecting less light. If you are not comfortable visiting our clinic for treatment we recommend home bleaching kits. These kits given by our dentists differ from the other counter kits and are even more productive and efficient.

ENDODONTICS

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with injuries and diseases of the soft tissues inside the tooth. Inside each tooth, blood vessels are bundled with nerves which are called “the pulp.”

The treatment for an infected or inflamed pulp is a “root canal.” The root canal therapy removes the pulp, cleans the interior of the tooth and then seals it to prevent further infections. A person will not experience any pain once the root canal procedure is completed. One may require a crown to strengthen the tooth.

PERIODONTICS

Every smile differs, and every smile matters too. What’s to be done when your gums need extra help and care? This is the time you need a periodontist.

Periodontists are dentists who specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum or periodontal diseases. To avoid gum diseases, the best you can do is brush regularly, floss, and get professional help in cleaning to remove tartar and plaque. There are surgical as well as non-surgical procedures. They are as follows,

NON-SURGICAL PROCEDURES

• Professional dental cleaning
• Scaling and root planning.

SURGICAL PROCEDURES

• Wisdom teeth extraction
• Frenectomy
• Crown lengthening
• Socket preservation
• Gum grafting
• Bone grafting

We honor most of the major insurance plans and aim to provide quality treatments as accurately as possible. Every insurance policy is different. We cannot indeed say your insurance company would agree to cover the entire treatment as most of the plans do not tend to cover 100 percent of all dental treatment costs. Check with your insurance provider on all the terms and conditions to determine what percentage they cover. For all other details visit our office and know more.
