Space maintainers are orthodontic appliances to prevent tilting of teeth if a tooth has been removed, esp in children. If the tooth near a missing space tilts, it will prevent the eruption the new teeth that has to come in that position. So to prevent these type of problems a space maintainer is given.
Rootcanal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a procedure done on teeth which are decayed or broken due to decay or trauma. This involves removing the diseased pulp tissue from the roots and cleaning the canals and filling with a type of wax. Rct is done when patient has pain on his tooth or if the decay is very close to the nerve of the tooth.
Porcelain Veneer
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers can be done to close gap between teeth, or to change the colour of the teeth.
Dental Implants
An implant is actually a prosthetic root. The implant is made of titanium and is a tiny root that mimics the natural root of teeth. It is placed in the position of the natural root inside the jaw. A crown can then be attached to the implant, and the crown serves as a tooth. Crowns will be placed over these, and you will then have a series of prosthetic teeth that look real. A great option to replace missing tooth without disturbing the nearby tooth.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are ways to enhance the beauty of your smile. These are done like a normal filling and can be done immediately. These can improve common cosmetic concerns such as discoloration, cracks, chips, gaps, and more. With dental bonding, a resin is applied to the surface of your teeth and then cured with a special light.
Pulpectomy
A pulpectomy is a root canal procedure for pulp tissue that is irreversibly infected or necrotic as a result of caries or traumatic injury. Usually done for primary set of teeth in children. The primary teeth guides the new teeth to come in correct position. It is advisable to maintain the primary teeth till it is time for it to fall. So pulpectomy should be done if kids have pain rather than extraction.
Laser Depigmentation
Melanocytes are cells which reside in the basal layer of the gingival epithelium. These cells produce melanin, which are pigments that cause light or dark brown spots in gums and oral mucosa. By doing depigmentation we remove this epithelial layer making the gums lighter and more uniform in colour. Laser helps to do the procedure with minimal anesthesia and post operative bleeding.
Gingivoplasty
Gingivoplasty is the surgical reshaping of gum tissue around the teeth. It is often done simply to make gums look better. They may have an unusual shape or may not be formed normally. The causes can include a persons genes, disease or trauma.
Laser Gum Surgery
In periodontal laser therapy, the provider uses a dental laser to access and remove the inflamed gum tissue from around the root of the tooth. When the infected tissue is removed it helps the gums to regenerate and heal faster. The laser also helps to sterilize the gum area and remove all the bacteria during the healing phase.
Flap Surgery
Oral hygiene if not maintained properly, it can lead to formation of plaque and calculus, which further leads to gum infection and later mobility of the tooth ultimately ending with exfoliation. So professional cleaning of teeth must be done every 6 months. Flap surgery is a procedure done to remove these calculus and infected tissues of the gums to prevent loss of teeth due to mobility. The procedure involves lifting the gums off of the teeth to remove tartar buildup. After the surgeon has cleaned the area and removed the tartar, they will stitch the gums into place to fit around the teeth. Sometimes, the bone may require reshaping during this procedure.
