Embracing an interdisciplinary approach, our team ensures comprehensive care in all aspects of dental health and aesthetics.
Composite Dental Fillings
Composite dental fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are used to repair a tooth affected by decay, cracks, fractures, or wear.
Made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, they are designed to match the color of natural teeth, offering a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.
The procedure for placing a composite filling involves first removing the decayed or affected portion of the tooth.
The area is then cleaned and prepared for the filling. The composite material is then applied in layers, with each layer being hardened using a specialized light.
After the filling is in place, the dentist will shape and polish it to ensure a smooth and comfortable fit and to match the tooth’s natural contours.
Aesthetically Pleasing: The color and texture of composite fillings can be closely matched to the natural tooth, making them less noticeable than metal fillings.
Supports Tooth Structure: Composite fillings bond to the tooth structure, providing support and preventing breakage.
Versatility: They can be used for a wide range of dental repairs, including both front and back teeth.
Minimal Tooth Removal: Requires less removal of the tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings, allowing for a more conservative repair.
Durability: While not as long-lasting as metal fillings, composites are durable and can withstand moderate pressure from chewing.
Mercury-Free: Unlike amalgam fillings, composite fillings do not contain mercury, making them a preferred choice for patients concerned about mercury exposure.
Root Canal Treatments
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system).
This treatment is necessary when the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
The procedure involves removing the damaged or infected pulp, and then cleaning, disinfecting, and shaping the root canals.
After cleaning, the canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material. A crown or filling is then placed on the tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
The treatment can often be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth and personal circumstances.
Pain Relief: Effectively alleviates pain caused by tooth decay or infection.
Tooth Preservation: Allows for the saving of a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Prevention of Spread of Infection: By removing the infected pulp, root canal treatment prevents the spread of infection to other parts of the mouth.
Restoration of Tooth Function: After treatment, the tooth can function like any other tooth, allowing for normal biting and chewing.
Aesthetic Solution: A crown or filling placed post-treatment restores the tooth’s natural appearance.
High Success Rate: Root canal treatments have a high success rate and can last a lifetime with proper care and hygiene.
Prevents Jawbone Degradation: Maintaining the natural tooth helps to preserve the jawbone and the natural appearance of the face.
Periodontal Treatment: Root Planning and Scaling
Periodontal treatment, specifically root planning and scaling, is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease (periodontitis).
This treatment is essential when plaque and tartar accumulate below the gum line, causing inflammation and infection of the gums and supporting bone structure.
Root planning and scaling are non-surgical procedures that clean between the gums and the teeth down to the roots.
The process involves two main steps: scaling and root planning. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and beneath the gumline.
Root planning smoothens the root surfaces, helping the gums to reattach to the tooth. These procedures may require local anaesthesia and are typically completed in multiple visits, depending on the extent of gum disease.
Halts Progression of Gum Disease: Effectively removes the cause of gum disease, stopping its progression.
Reduces Gum Inflammation and Bleeding: Helps in reducing inflammation and bleeding of the gums.
Prevents Tooth Loss: By addressing the underlying infection, it helps in preventing tooth loss associated with advanced periodontal disease.
Improves Oral Health: Contributes to overall oral health and helps in maintaining strong and healthy teeth and gums.
Decreases Bad Breath: By removing trapped food particles and bacteria, it helps in alleviating bad breath caused by gum disease.
Facilitates Gum Reattachment: Smoothens the roots to promote reattachment of the gums to the tooth, aiding in the healing process.
Maintenance Phase: Following initial treatment, regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal maintenance) are necessary to keep the gums healthy and prevent the recurrence of periodontal disease.
