• Porcelain Crowns-A crown can cover and protect a tooth that has become fragile through decay or large or recurrent fillings. Natural-looking porcelain is usually used for front teeth, and porcelain fused to metal can be used for either the front or the back.
• Porcelain fixed bridges-A dental bridge is a fixed appliance that provides an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
• Implants-A dental implant is a permanently placed artificial tooth which is anchored in your jawbone just like a natural tooth. Implants look and feel like your own teeth.
• Denture, Partial Dentures and Denture-FittingsDentures are made from some of the most durable materials known to man. Just as the conditions your eyesight changes over time, so does the condition of your mouth. Replacing dentures at a regular interval, every five to seven years makes it possible to maintain a healthy natural smile. It also helps prevent intraoral deterioration of the mouth. As a bonus, the fit of a new denture will be determined by the present condition of your mouth, improving comfort

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (also called Endodontics) is unavoidable when the nerve or blood supply of the tooth is infected through decay or injury.The infection can spread through the root canal system of the tooth. This may eventually lead to an abscess.
Root Canal Treatment requires a skilled dentist and it is also a time-consuming procedure, perhaps needing more than one appointment.

 Root Treatment

• The infected pulp is removed at the first appointment.
• Any possible abscesses are to be drained at this time.
• The root canal is then cleaned and shaped for the filling.
• A temporary filling is inserted.
• The tooth is left to settle.
• The tooth is checked at a later visit.

• When all infection has cleared the tooth is permanently filled.

Why have Root Canal Treatment?

 

If Root Canal Treatment is not done properly, the infection will spread and the tooth will need to be removed. Some patients might prefer an extraction. However, we suggest to keep many natural teeth as possible.

Denture

Dentures are Prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth.

Dentures are supported by surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity.

Conventional dentures are removable. There are many different denture designs, some rely on bonding or clipping onto teeth or dental implants.

Dentures are also commonly celled dental plate or false teeth meaning the same.

Over Denture

Removable Partial Dentures are for patients who are missing SOME of their teeth on a particular arch. Complete Dentures or full dentures are worn by patients who are missing ALL of the teeth in a single arch (i.e the maxillary (upper) or mandibular (lower) arch).

More recently, there has been a move in the practice to increase denture stability with implants.

The insertion of implants into the bone below the dentures do help to provide improved support and stability to withstand the pressure when the denture is used for chewing, keeping the bone from resorbing.

When implants are integrated into the treatment, the denture is now referred to as being an implant supported overdenture.

We produce clip bar systems, telescopic crowns or many different dental restoration work in order to choose the perfect solution in order to anchor the overdenture.

In the majority of cases, complete dentures are to be comfortable soon after insertion, at the same time almost always at least two adjustment visits will be required to remove sore spots.

Just like natural teeth, dentures need to be brushed daily to clean them from food deposits and plaque.

Brushing helps prevent dentures from becoming permanently stained and keeps your mouth stay healthy.

Regular dental check-ups are important.

The dentist will examine your mouth to see if your dentures still fit properly.

As time goes by dentures will need to be relined, re-based, or remade due to normal wear.

Dentures Relining

With regular professional care, a positive attitude and persistence, you can become one of the millions of people who wear their dentures with a smile!
