A dental implant is man made replacement in place of the natural teeth which enables a person to have fixed teeth. Dental implants are different from transplants taken from others.
What category of dental transplant is suitable for a patient depends on the individual need and condition of the patients teeth. An x-ray is required to check the thickness of bones remaining and the space available in the mouth .The dentist does a examination before finalizing which type of implant should be done.
If you are missing 1 or few teeth then dental implants along with a crown /bridge can be used to replace the missing teeth and these manmade teeth function as good as natural teeth and there is no further loss of bones and decay .If a person is missing all teeth then implant is used to anchor loose denture. In some cases when bones are lost; bones can be regenerated with the technique of bone expansion which further helps in implants.
There is a little discomfort at the time of the procedure but patient sedation and anesthesia are used to reduce the discomfort caused. Most of the patients experience pain for 3-4 days after the implant. Dentists will give medicines to reduce the pain and avoid any type of pain.
Dentures are constructed by the dentist to replace the missing teeth. They are also called false teeth and get support from the surrounding hard/soft tissues of oral cavity. Dentures used earlier were removable, but now dentures are available in different designs.
The best starting point to address your denture queries is to consult a prosthodontist. A prosthodontist is a specialist who focuses on the restoration and replacement of teeth. We here at Bhavaani Dental Care have a leading team of experienced prosthodontists who can address all your queries and give you the best options suitable for you.
There are 2 types of dentures i.e. complete dentures and removable partial dentures. Complete dentures are used by patients who do not have any teeth in a single arch (upper or maxillary / lower or mandibular arch)
Patients who have some missing teeth in an arch use removable partial dentures. Bridges and crowns are referred to as fixed partial dentures. Bridges are more stable and expensive .Crowns is mounted on to the remaining teeth which replaces the missing teeth and fills up the gap.
Initially eating requires some practice. One should start eating soft food that is cut into small bites. Food should be chewed using both sides to avoid tripping of dentures. The quantity of food can be gradually increased. One should not chew hard/ hot food.
Crowns and Bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Crowns are essentially tooth-shaped caps that are cemented over an existing tooth to improve its shape, size, strength and appearance. Bridges are multiple crowns used to bridge gaps between one or more missing teeth.We are the best clinic in Sankarankoil in providing the Crowns and Bridges treatment.
Crowns are cemented when the tooth is severely decayed, broken or when the tooth has undergone root canal treatment.
Bridges are commonly used to cover a space if you’re missing one or more teeth. They are cemented to existing teeth surrounding the space of the missing teeth.
They can last a lifetime. However good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups must be practiced to ensure their persistence.
A filling is used to repair damage that has occurred to a tooth, usually from dental decay. A sealant is used to cover a portion of a tooth to prevent damage from occurring.
The longevity of Dental Filling depends upon the material of the filling. It also depends on how well you take care of your filling. The life of Dental Filling varies from 10 years to 20 years.
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) also is known as Endodontic Treatment is a procedure done when the tooth decay reaches the pulp (innermost layer of the tooth) causing inflammation. It is necessary to save the damaged tooth from extraction. This procedure is done by an Endodontist who is known as a Root Canal Specialist.
Root Canal Treatment is done on a damaged or infected tooth. Infection could be due to a cracked or broken tooth, deep decay, gum diseases or maybe due to repeated dental treatment on a particular tooth.
No, a root canal treatment is pain-free. Before proceeding with the root canal treatment, a dentist will use local anaesthesia to numb the infected area ensuring a painless treatment.
Once the root canal treatment is completed, the treated tooth will heal within a few days. Patients might experience some pain once they awaken from anaesthesia; this is likely to end within a few days due to medication.
Teeth Cleaning is a part of oral hygiene and involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
Teeth cleaning also known as scaling, is professionally done by the dentist.
Food debris as soft deposits start accumulating on the teeth slowly, which start housing bacteria. Over a period of time the soft deposits (plaque) harden to form tartar. The hard deposits (tartar) become very difficult to remove by brushing unlike soft deposits. Professional cleaning with the help of an ULTRASONIC SCALER is done to remove tartar
Everybody requires a dental checkup once every 6 months. At the same time scaling is also recommended to be done once every 6 months.
Tooth reshaping, also called dental contouring, is a cosmetic dentistry technique that removes small amounts of tooth enamel (the outer covering of the tooth) in order to change the shape, length, or surface of one or more teeth. The procedure is usually done to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth.
To reshape or contour teeth, a dentist gently removes tooth enamel with a laser or drill. Before starting the treatment, the dentist X-rays the teeth to evaluate the size and location of the pulp of each tooth to ensure that there’s enough bone between the teeth to support them. Next, they trim misshapen areas, shortening excessively long teeth or altering badly shaped teeth to even them out for proper bite and alignment. The teeth are then smoothed and polished. Reshaping may require just one 30-minute appointment with the dentist, depending on the extent of the work you need.
Dental veneers are a potential solution to achieve the look you desire. They are a popular choice for those with a misshaped teeth or a gap between natural teeth. They can also help the discolored teeth which cannot be restored by cleaning or bleaching.
- Your teeth and gums should be healthy before you get veneers. If you have gum disease, it should be treated before getting the veneer inserted.
- Veneers are not always a good choice for patients who clench or grind their teeth, because the thin veneers may crack due to grinding the teeth. If you clench or grind your teeth, your dentist may recommend wearing a plastic dental night guard at night.
- The dentist removes only the required amount of tooth enamel to insert the veneers. Although the process cannot be undone once the enamel is removed.
Veneers may break under pressure. So, your dentist may suggest avoiding biting hard foods. Keep your gums clean by brushing and flossing. There is a possibility that you can still get cavities under or around veneers. To ensure you are doing in a proper way.
Braces are dental tools that help correct problems with your teeth, like crowding, crooked teeth, or teeth that are out of alignment. Many people get braces when they’re teenagers, but adults get them too. As you wear them, braces slowly straighten and align your teeth so you have a normal bite. Some people get braces to adjust their smile.
Traditional braces involve brackets and wires, usually made out of metal, which are attached to the teeth and allow their positioning to be altered as required. This type of braces is typically the least expensive option while being very effective, and is one of the most common types of braces in use today.
Ceramic braces work in the same way as traditional braces, but the brackets are a clear, transparent ceramic material. The braces are less visible to others, making them a popular choice for adults who need orthodontic treatment.
Lingual braces similar to traditional braces in that they are made out of metal, but they are attached to the inside of the teeth so that they cannot be easily seen from the outside.
This type has the obvious advantage of not being visible to other people because they are hidden behind the teeth.
Invisalign is the most distinct type of braces because they do not involve brackets and wires but instead utilize a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners that are worn over the teeth. These aligners are easy to remove and replace with the next one in the series every two weeks throughout the treatment period.
This type of braces is preferable for many patients because they are almost invisible and allow greater freedom to eat and drink anything.
Self-ligating braces are very similar in appearance to traditional metal braces, but utilize clips rather than elastic bands to hold the wire of the brace in place. As a result, there is less friction on the braces and it is usually easier for the individual to keep the braces and teeth clean.
