  Gum Treatment

  

  Gum Treatment

  A periodontal procedure wherein the dentist will remove diseased or excess gums and reshape the gum to become more aesthetically acceptable and free from diseases. Treatment may be performed by a periodontist, a dentist or a dental hygienist. The goal of periodontitis treatment is to thoroughly clean the pockets around teeth and prevent damage to surrounding bone. You have the best chance for successful treatment when you also adopt a daily routine of good oral care and stop tobacco use..

  Cosmetic Restoration

  

  Cosmetic Restoration

  “Your smile is very important. It is one of the first things you notice when you meet someone and also one of the first things that impress someone. Smile is not only about the lips, but also the teeth and gums behind it, including the jaw line.

  Once the hallmark of the stars, the rich, and the famous, Cosmetic Dentistry is now easily accessible to each one of us. While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving a person’s overall appearance giving a complete new look.

  With modern advances in dentistry, cosmetic procedures can range from tooth colour enhancements, laminates, composite bonding, correction of the misalignment of the teeth etc. to digitally design your overall smile. “

  Root Canal Treatment

  

  Root Canal Treatment

  Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with diseases of the tooth’s pulp. The pulp is found in the center of the tooth and in canals (called root canals) inside the root of each tooth. Pulp includes connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels. Pulp nourishes the tooth when it first emerges through the gum. Once the tooth matures, the pulp can be removed without destroying the tooth. That’s because each tooth also is nourished by a blood supply in the gums…

  Crowns & Bridges

  

  Crowns & Bridges

  “Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

  A crown is used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape… “

  Veneers

They adhere to the original tooth surface and will provide you with a perfect smile for years. Porcelain veneers are thin, semi-transparent porcelain “shells” that are bonded to your teeth.

  Relines

  

  Relines

  New dentures will typically fit your mouth securely as they have been designed specifically for your gums. As time goes on, your gum tissues will change and the fit of the denture will become more loose and thus more prone to movement inside your mouth. Having the denture professionally relined will help keep the denture secure and functional.

  Teeth Checkup

  

  Teeth Checkups are important to do on a yearly basis.  Taking care of your teeth is not only the first thing people see when you smile, but it’s also the gateway to understanding your overall health.  A pair of healthy clean teeth is an overall reflection of good health so it’s extremely vital to always schedule annual teeth checkups with family dentist.

  Whitening

  

  Whitening

  “Teeth whitening is restoring a tooth’s color by removing dirt or debris. Teeth bleaching on the other hand, is a process of whitening the teeth beyond its natural color.

  Bleaching can be done in-office by your dentist or at home. The in-office method or laser teeth whitening method give the fastest results with the help of light and heat. This is also the safest and quickiest method, since it is monitored and done by professional.

  The take home whitening, or over the counter whitening kits, are more affordable than the in-office method, however, the whitening process is only achieved after a period of time and the improvement is quite limited.”
