General Dentistry

A general dentist is your primary care dental provider. This dentist diagnoses, treats, and manages your overall oral health care needs, including gum care, root canals, fillings, crowns, veneers, bridges, and preventive education.

General Dentistry Procedures

These procedures include: Oral Exams and Cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and catch early signs of dental disease. Crowns & Bridgework to replace lost tooth structure and/or missing teeth. Dental Implants for replacement teeth that last forever.

Endodontic

12.The main purpose of endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) is to remove the diseased pulp, clean and shape the root canal system, disinfect the contaminated root canals, and then obturate (fill) the root canal system to prevent re-infection and promote per-radicular healing. The aim is to have radiographic evidence of healing, with no postoperative lesions present, and restored per-radicular health if preoperative lesions were present. The main reason for dental pulpal problems has been related to bacterial contamination of the root canals. Therefore, significantly reducing the bacterial load within the root canal system, and then filling the canals with an inert obturating material aid in preventing bacterial re-infection.

Smile Designing Treatment

Smile Design Treatment is a cosmetic treatment that focuses on improving the appearance of your smile through certain procedures such as dental veneers, composite bonding, teeth whitening and tooth implant. People suffering from dental problems like tooth decaying, tooth loosening, stains, and bacterial plaque usually opt for this makeover treatment. Some factors taken into consideration for this treatment include: facial appearance and skin tone, gum tissues and lips.

Dental Implant

A dental implant (also known as an end osseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called Osseo integration, in which materials such as titanium form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed so that it is likely to Osseo integrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for Osseo integration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed which will hold a dental prosthetic.

Teeth Whitening

4.Tooth whitening has become one of the most frequently requested dental procedures by the public. The public has come to demand whiter, more perfect smiles and in response many choices for tooth whitening have been made available. These include home-based products such as toothpastes, gels, and films, as well as in-office based systems where products containing highly concentrated bleaching agents are applied under professional supervision.

Gum Depigmentation

Gum depigmentation also known as gum bleaching, is a procedure used in cosmetic dentistry to lighten or remove black spots or patches on the gums consisting of melanin. Melanin in skin is very common in inhabitants in many parts of the world due to genetic factors. Melanin pigmentation in skin, oral mucosa, inner ear and other organs is a detoxification mechanism.  Some toxic agents bind to melanin and will move out of the tissue with the ageing cells and are expelled to the tissue surfaces.

Orthodontics

Some people have naturally straight teeth that fit together. But if you have problems with your bite or the spacing of your teeth, you may need orthodontic care. Orthodontia is the branch of dentistry that deals with abnormalities of the teeth and jaw.

Orthodontic care involves the use of devices, such as braces, to

• Straighten teeth
• Correct problems with bite
• Close gaps between teeth
• Align lips and teeth properly

Most people who receive orthodontic care are kids, but adults get braces, too. In young children, orthodontic treatment may guide proper jaw growth. This can help permanent teeth to come in properly. Straight permanent teeth can help prevent tooth problems later on.

Tooth Jewelry

Tooth jewelry is an accessory which is placed on the front portion of your tooth. This style craze lets you express your individuality through your smile, making it more unique and fashionable. There are many different jewelry designs to choose from, and you can take your pick depending on your mood, or what you wish to express with your smile.

A small gem or precious metal charm can be adhered to a tooth and it can either be there temporarily or can last as long as you want it to.  One of the pluses of having them applied with dental bonding material is that they don’t cause any permanent damage to your teeth. It is 100 % reversible.  You can have your birth stone, your favorite color, or a charm that represents a hobby or element of your personality.

Minor Oral Surgeries

The term "Minor oral surgery" refers to smaller operations and include removing wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, and severely broken-down teeth, as well as apicectomies, biopsies and other procedures. Within our service our oral surgery is largely carried out by “dentists with a special interest in oral surgery” (DwSI).

Digital X-Ray

RVG (Radio Visiography) is the latest imaging techniques in dentistry with mninimal radiation exposure of the patient and numerous advantages over classic radiography. As a preventative diagnostic tool, dental X-rays are essential, revealing valuable information not otherwise visible during a regular dental exam. They enable us to look at what is going on between teeth and under the gum, then use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden dental abnormalities and create an accurate treatment plan. Without X-rays, such problem areas may go undetected.

OPG

X-rays use radiation to take pictures of bones and other parts inside the body. An OPG is a panoramic X-ray of the upper and lower jaws, including the teeth. The OPG unit is specifically designed to rotate around the patient’s head during the scan. An OPG will take approximately 20 seconds.

An OPG can be used to look for

• Fractures
• Dislocated jaw
• Infection
• Dentition (teeth)

Laser Therapy

Lasers are used in numerous medical fields, including general dentistry. They are extremely focused light beams that can be used to alter or remove tissues in small amounts. Dentists use lasers in many different procedures inside of the mouth. Lasers can be used to remove overgrown tissues, whiten teeth, or reshape the gums. Numerous gingivitis patients suffer from severe gum bleeding and bone loss. Therefore, it’s critical to remove bacteria from the teeth and gingival pockets. Lasers provide the benefit of not only removing the bacteria but also killing them. This helps reduce bleeding and swelling of gums. It may even eliminate the need for further gum disease treatment such as gum surgery.
