Braces
Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct various dental issues such as misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, and overcrowding. They work by applying continuous pressure over a period of time to slowly move teeth in a specific direction. As the teeth move, the bone changes shape due to the pressure applied by the braces.
Aligners
Aligners, often referred to in the context of orthodontics, are custom-made devices designed to adjust teeth alignment gradually. They are an alternative to traditional braces and are popular due to their near invisibility and removability, which offers convenience for the wearer. Aligners work by applying constant, gentle pressure to shift teeth into the desired position over time. Treatment plans using aligners are tailored to individual needs and are created using advanced 3D imaging technology.
TMJ Problems
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. The TMJ connects the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull, allowing for movements necessary for speaking, chewing, and making facial expressions1. Symptoms can include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and a clicking or locking of the jaw joint2. While the exact cause of TMJ disorders can be complex and multifactorial, they may arise from issues such as jaw injury, arthritis, or clenching and grinding of teeth31. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and can range from self-care practices and medications to more invasive procedures.
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth. The treatment involves the removal of the infected or inflamed pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. This process helps save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. Root canal treatment is not typically painful and can provide relief from symptoms such as tooth pain, sensitivity, and swelling.
Dental Crowns and Bridge
Dental crowns and bridges are essential restorative treatments in dentistry, designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth, respectively.
Dental Implant
A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The implant is typically made of titanium and is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. Once in place, it allows the dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.
Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric Dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the oral health care of infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special health care needs. It encompasses a variety of disciplines, techniques, procedures, and skills that are shared with other branches of dentistry but are modified and adapted to the unique requirements of children and adolescents. Pediatric dentists undergo additional training after dental school to provide both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care.
Gum Treatment
Gum treatment, also known as periodontal therapy, involves various procedures to combat gum disease, which ranges from mild conditions like gingivitis to more severe forms such as periodontitis. The treatment aims to clean the areas around the teeth and prevent damage to the surrounding bone.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of teeth by making them appear brighter and whiter. It involves various methods to remove or reduce stains on the teeth, improving their overall color.
Cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dental care focused on enhancing the appearance of teeth and smiles. It encompasses various procedures aimed at improving dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance.
Oral Cancer and Lesions
Oral cancer refers to cancer that develops in the cells of the mouth or lips, and it’s part of a group of cancers known as head and neck cancers. It’s fairly common and can be cured if detected and treated early. Oral cancer often begins in the flat, thin cells (squamous cells) that line the lips and the inside of the mouth. Most oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.
Broken Tooth
A broken tooth, also known as a tooth fracture, can occur due to various reasons such as biting on hard foods, teeth grinding, contact sports, or even spontaneously in older adults. It’s one of the most common dental issues that can lead to tooth loss if not treated properly.
