Dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed when a tooth is damaged beyond repair, decayed, or causing crowding issues. Extractions can be simple, where the tooth is easily accessible, or surgical, for more complex cases.
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line to replace a missing tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the jawbone, a crown is placed on top to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
A dental filling is a material used to fill cavities in teeth caused by decay. The filling helps to restore the tooth’s function and shape, and prevent further decay. Common filling materials include amalgam, composite resin, gold, and porcelain.
A dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a professional cleaning procedure performed by a dental hygienist. It involves removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth, and polishing them to help prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of the teeth. It can be done in-office using bleaching agents or at-home with whitening kits prescribed by a dentist. Whitening is safe and can improve the appearance of stained or discolored teeth.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between two teeth. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent teeth with dental crowns.
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infected or damaged teeth by removing the infected pulp and nerve tissue from inside the tooth. The tooth is then cleaned, filled, and sealed to prevent further infection.
Dental treatment refers to any procedure or intervention performed by a dentist to restore or improve oral health. This can include preventive care, restorative treatments like fillings and crowns, and cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening.
Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten and align teeth, improve bite, and enhance overall dental health. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that apply gentle pressure to move teeth into the desired position over time.
Tooth replacement refers to the various options available for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures. These options restore function and appearance, improve chewing and speaking, and prevent further dental problems.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatments, such as braces and clear aligners, help to improve bite, alignment, and overall dental health.
A silver crown, also known as a stainless steel crown, is a preformed metal crown used to restore badly decayed or damaged primary (baby) teeth. These crowns are durable and cost-effective, making them a common choice for children
We do a thorough assessment of the patient’s oral health, including examination of teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. The dentist will check for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other issues and may take X-rays for a more detailed view.
Our professional cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth that cannot be removed by regular brushing and flossing. This procedure helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
X-rays in dentistry are used to detect hidden dental problems such as cavities, infections, impacted teeth, and bone loss. They provide valuable information that aids in diagnosis and treatment planning.
As part of the visit, the dental team educates the patient on proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing techniques, flossing, diet tips, and the importance of regular dental check-ups. This empowers the patient to take control of their oral health and prevent future problems.
