Teeth are hollow and in their center lies the pulp containing nerves and blood vessels.
When the pulp becomes inflamed or dies (due to deep cavities or traumatic injury to the tooth, etc.) endodontic treatment (root canal treatment) is required to save the tooth.
The procedure involves the removal of the diseased nerve and subsequent cleaning of the center of the tooth. Afterwards, the root canal is filled with biocompatible materials so as to prevent the growth of new bacteria and keep the tooth healthy.
Finally, the most convenient restoration options are considered to restore the tooth to its original shape and function.
When teeth are stained or localized or generalized discoloration is present, there are techniques available to improve the color of the teeth without causing damage to their structure.
Depending on each case and cause of the discolorations, a particular whitening procedure is chosen for each patient.
Power Bleaching (1 hour bleaching using a strong LED light)
Progressive Bleaching (one week home kit)
Internal bleaching (for individual tooth bleaching with root canal treatment done)
Microabrasion (for removing superficially white or brown stains)
Crowns are used to repair severely damaged or heavily stained teeth. Thus, the original shape, color and function of the teeth are restored.
Bridges are utilized to replace missing teeth, and are supported by surrounding teeth. Today, the use of bridges over natural teeth has decreased due to the development of dental implants.
A porcelain veneer can be an excellent way to make a cosmetic change for a tooth. Unlike a crown, which covers the entire tooth, a veneer is a thin shell that is placed over the front or visible parts of the tooth. A porcelain veneer can be a permanent cosmetic solution for chipped, discoloured, or misaligned teeth.
With proper care, your new veneers will greatly improve your appearance and increase your confidence for years to come.
If there are gaps in your smile where your permanent teeth used to be, you may realize that more is missing from your life than just teeth. You may also give up good nutrition and even social activities.
It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Dental implants are an excellent alternative to fill the empty gaps left by tooth loss.
Lots of people find that dental implants are more comfortable, efficient, and safe than conventional dentures or dental bridges.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible titanium placed into the jawbone to replace a single missing tooth without involving adjacent teeth. After some months (the time varies with each case) an implant-supported prosthesis is attached to the implant.
Unlike the old removable prostheses, this new alternative affords better function and aesthetics, providing greater stability while improving chewing efficiency and phonetics.
Implants provide patients with greater comfort, enhancing their quality of life.
Depending on the size and shape of the cavity, tooth restoration can be achieved either by: direct restoration (requiring a single visit) or an onlay (requiring two visits).
Direct restorations (fillings) are used when a small portion of the tooth needs to be replaced. The material of choice is composite – a tooth-color material bonded to the teeth strengthening its structure and restoring its shape and function.
If tooth damage is not severe, onlays are the solution. These are shaped replacement materials fitted into the tooth cavity, being an intermediate solution between a direct restoration and a crown.
Onlays only replace the missing dental tissue; therefore they just require the removal of decayed areas of the tooth. They are made of pure porcelain or ceramic materials, and are bonded to the tooth using bonding technology.
When oral hygiene is not optimal, food particles and bacteria adhere to the surface of the tooth. If these are not removed, they can result in caries and gum inflammation (periodontal disease). Besides gum inflammation and bleeding, periodontal disease causes resorption of the bone supporting the tooth, and if left untreated it can lead to tooth loss. Traditional periodontal treatments (cleaning) keep gums healthy and inhibit bone loss.
We are well aware that feeling pain or having esthetics-related emergencies affect the normal development of the patient’s life, and that such situations have to be resolved as soon as possible.
