1. Filling
To treat a cavity we will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then "fill" the area on the tooth where the decayed material once lived. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse.
2. Extractions
A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth strcuture to render the tooth non-restorable.
3. Denture
Dentures are removable false teeth made of acrylic (plastic) or metal. They fit snugly over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps. You may therefore need either:
* Complete dentures (a full set), which replace all your upper or lower teeth, or
* Partial dentures, which replace just one or a few missing teeth
4. Whitening/ Bleaching* Complete dentures (a full set), which replace all your upper or lower teeth, or
* Partial dentures, which replace just one or a few missing teeth
Teeth whitening is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and healthy gums who would like a brighter smile. Patients with yellow tones to their teeth the best respond.
5. Crown and bridge
Heavy decay may cause teeth to be too weak to survive with only a filling. A crown can give a tooth a new lease on life. Crowns are made from several different materials, gold and porcelain being the most common types. A bridge allows the dentist to replace lost teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. Basically a false tooth is held in place by being attached to a tooth next door. Dental crafts provides a multitude of options and products for crowns and bridges.
6. Scaling and Polishing
Scaling removes the hard tartar which forms on your teeth like scale inside a kettle. You can't remove it just by brushing your teeth. Scaling also removes trapped food and plaque containing millions of germs, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Stains from coffee, tea, cigarettes or red wine are also cleaned away when your dentist polishes your teeth.
7. Root Canal Treatment (RCT) Teeth are held in the jaw by their roots. Front teeth normally have one root but teeth further back have more. Inside, the tooth the pulp should be alive, with nerves and a blood supply in the root canal. Decay or injury can destroy this living part and might also cause an abscess at the end of a root. Root filling means removing damaged or dead pulp and filling the space left. The remaining tooth can then be repaired.
